he wept as for some other causes so also for his sins, and withal ⟨p. 99⟩he prayed God to cast them behind his back. David made certain Psalms when he was sick, or at the least upon the occasion of his sickness, as namely, the 6. the 32. the 38. the 39. &c. and they are all psalms of repentance: in which we may see how in distress of the body and mind he renewed his faith & repentance, heartily bewailing his sins & entreating the Lord for the pardon of them. Manasseh, one that fell from God, and gave himself to many horrible sins, when he was taken captive and imprisoned in Babylon,1 He prayed to the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and ⟨p. 100⟩then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God. Now look what Manasseh did in this tribulation, the same thing must we do in the time of our bodily sickness.
