The Morning exercise [at] Cri[ppleg]ate, or, Several cases of conscience practically resolved

Antid. 4. Mourn for them; mourn for the sins of the Nation, and mourn for the sins of thy Relations; for the sins of thy Brethren in their obstinacy, that they will not be reformed: Christ came to sinful Jerusalem with weeping eyes, and with a mourning heart? oh Jerusalem! David mourned for the wickedness of the times that he saw, Psal. 119.136. Many walk, says Paul, of whom I tell you weeping. Thus did Gods people of old free themselves from National sins, and particular mens sins. When they could not be reformers they turned mourners, Jer. 13.17. And see how prevalent this is with God, these mourners are the only people to deliver a Nation, or at least to deliver themselves from the sin and plagues of a Nation, when God makes an overflowing scourge to pass through, Ezek. 9.4. On the other side, not mourning for the sins of others, makes us adopt, and espouse the sins of others. Dan. 5.22.
