1. 'Tis a Duty. If we are by the Prescript of God to bewail in confession, the sins of our Forefathers, committed before our being in the world, certainly much more are we to lament the sins of the Age wherein we live, as well as our own, Levit. 26.40. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their Fathers. If then their uncircumcised be humbled, then will I remember my Covenant. Posterity are part of the same body with their Ancestors, and every member in a Nation is part of the body of a Nation; every drop in the Sea is a part of the Ocean.

He whose soul was not afflicted in that day, should be cut off from among his people; which the Jews understand of cutting off by the hand of the Lord, Levit. 23.27, 29. The particular sin for which they were thus annually to afflict their Souls, was that national sin of the golden Calf, in the Judgment of the Jewish Doctors.
