But the former, that are the true Members of the Solemn Assembly, The Saints and people of God, They will be much affected, saith the Text, therefore ⟨p. 195⟩I will gather them that are sorrowful for the Solemn Assembly, who are of thee, To whom the reproach of it is a burden: These will be much affected, and very sensible of the Reproach of the Solemn Assembly, in Numb. 9. We read of some certain men that were defiled by a dead body, and they were mightily troubled that they were kept from the Passover from one Ordinance, verse 6, 7. Yet the Solemn Assembly stood: how would they have been affected if the Solemn Assembly it self had lain under Reproach, in Psalm 42. You see David is much affected when he was kept from the house of God: yet the Solemn Assembly stood. How would he have been affected if the Solemn Assembly it self had lain under Reproach. When the Solemn Assembly doth lie under Reproach, those that are the true Members of the Church and Solemn Assembly, the Saints and people of God in truth, they will be much affected and sensible thereof, and carry the Reproach up and down with them as their burden.
