And this also is natural to those whose Heart is Broken. Whether goes the Child, when it catcheth harm, but to its Father, to its Mother? Where doth it lay its Head, but in their Laps? Into whose Bosom doth it pour out its Complaint, more especially, but into the Bosom of ⟨p. 93⟩a Father, of a Mother; because there is Bowels, there is Pity, there is Relief and Succour? And thus it is with them, whose Bones, whose Heart is broken: 'Tis natural to them, they must cry, they can't but cry to him. Lord heal me, said David, for my Bones are vexed; Lord heal me, for my Soul is vexed, Psal. 6. 1, 2, 3.
