15. Evangelical sorrow is a lasting sorrow, and a wasting sorrow; When once it hath seized upon the heart of a Christian, it doth not pass away, as the morning cloud, and early dew, or a land-flood, but continueth and riseth up, as a spring, and is never exhaust, till sin, the cause of it, be wholly taken away, and not only the guilt, and punishment of sin, but the very being of sin, till total deliverance from this body of death be granted. This is evident in the Apostle Paul, 1when once this sorrow had seized on his heart, he did not cease to bewail his proneness to sin, till his being in this world ceased, as appears, Rom. 7. ver. 14.24. And as it is a lasting sorrow, so it is a wasting sorrow, it consumes the body of death, it brings a consumption on sin, it weakeneth the power of natural corruption, and warreth successfully against the most Giant-like corruption, it comes from the heart of a sinner, and it goes to the heart of sin.

- 1Paul mourned for his sin after he was justified from his sin.
