Anguish you know, doth naturally provoke to crying; now as a broken Bone has anguish, a broken Heart has anguish: Hence the Pains of one that has a Broken Heart, are compared to the Pangs of a Woman in Travel, John 16 20, 21, 22.
1. Anguish will make one cry alone, cry to ones self; and this is called a bemoaning of of ones self. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, said God, Jer. 31. 18.
