Means 2 2 By working upon our hearts a remorse of Conscience, with the sense of this, Acts 2.37 (this word is used in a contrary sense, Rom. 11.8. where it signifies not compunction, but the deep slumber wherein Natural men feel no compunction) Rom. 7.9, 10. this is called a wounding, or the spirit thus afflicted is called wounded, Prov. 18.14. broken-hearted, weary, Psalm 51.17. Matth. 11.28. This remorse is not alike to all, to some it is more terrible, and maketh a deeper impression, Job. 6.2, 3, 4, & cap. 13.24. to others it is not so grievous, as in Lydia, Acts 16.14, 15. her readiness to entertain them, showeth that the Wound was made and healed in the Sermon-time. I conceive Lydia's Conversion to be like the Thieves upon the Cross, he first had fear of God, Luke 23.40. yet assured of Salvation soon after, vers. 43. In the Jews, Acts 2.37. to 42. at the next Exhortation. In John Glover, not for many years, five in all, yet it is found in all, Rom. 8.15. all do receive the Spirit of bondage to fear, though they receive it not to fear again, Luke 4.18.
