1Such as the measure of this sorrow is, such usually is the softness of the heart, and the pliability of the will; the more of this sorrow the soul hath, the more tender is the heart made thereby, and the more pliable is the will; the less of this sorrow the soul hath, the less softening hath the heart, and the less yielding is there in the will, to the Will of the Lord.

7. Evangelical sorrow is a heart meekening sorrow; it meekeneth the heart, and maketh it humbly stoop to the yoke of Christ, and patiently bear the Chastising hand of Christ, during the good pleasure of Christ. I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me, saith the contrite soul, Mich. 7.9. It moderateth anger and maketh all calm within and without.1
