2. Though not in strength, yet in length and continuance: Other sorrows are but like a Land-flood, for a time, occasioned by a Story, which, when that is over, the flood is down. This Godly sorrow doth arise from a spring, and having a fountain to continue it, it is Permanent, when the other is gone. This is the difference between the Godly, and the other.
Gods people, their sorrows, which are Spiritual, do arise from a spring; their worldly, from a storm, a tempest. The wicked, their spiritual sorrows arise from a storm, some present wringing of Conscience, fear of wrath; and their worldly sorrows arise from a spring.

Where sin is apprehended the Greatest Evil, there it shall have the Greatest sorrow.
