Thirdly, To put sorrowful sinful man upon the search of his own heart, and the finding out of the error of his ways. While men are strong and healthful, they seldom find leisure for that work. And therefore they are confined by sickness to their houses, to their chambers, yea to their beds, that they may attend it, and read over the whole book of their lives (Lam: 3.39, 40.) Wherefore doth the living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin; Let us search and try our ways, and turn to the Lord. That's mans work upon his bed, and 'tis Gods aim in binding him to his bed, that he may have liberty for that work.
