As it is thus in praying and rejoicing, so it may be in mourning and in sorrowing; And troubles are very deep when they exceed our own sorrows, as mercies are very great when they are beyond our own praises: We in this Nation have cause to fear such troubles, even such, as may cause us to invite the hearts and spirits, the bowels and compassions of all the Christians in the world to come and lament over us: we may be forced to send not only for the Husbandman, those plain-hearted mourners, but for those also who are skilful in lamentations; such as Jeremiah, to set a song in the highest strains of lamentation, for the bewailing of our troubles, And say, let such lament our day as lamented Jerusalem, let such lament it, as have lately lamented Germany, such as now lament the ruins and desolations of Ireland.
As it is thus in praying and rejoycing, so it may be in mourning and in sorrowing; And troubles are very deepe when they exceed our own sorrowes, as mercies are very great when they are beyond our own praises: Wee in this Nation have cause to feare such troubles, even such, as may cause us to invite the hearts and spirits, the bowels and compassions of all the Christians in the world to come and lament over us: we may be forced to send not only for the Husbandman, those plaine-hearted mourners, but for those also who are skillfull in lamentations; such as Jeremie, to set a song in the highest straines of lamentation, for the bewailing of our troubles, And say, let such lament our day as lamented Jerusalem, let such lament it, as have lately lamented Germany, such as now lament the ruines and desolations of Ireland.
