4. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
4. Though you are under sorrows now, you are blessed if you are godly and have godly sorrow, for your comfort will be time enough and full enough hereafter.
N. There are many sorts of sinful sorrow, which have none of this promise; such as are the common fruits of overloving some creature and distrusting God. But it is holy mourning that is here meant, that is, for our own or other mens sins, and Gods dishonour, and displeasure, and our want of more grace, and for the miseries of the wicked, and suffering world.
5. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
