To cry, is, First, to complain and make a noise; this is the cry of impatience. Secondly, to mourn and be sorrowful; this is the cry of Repentance. Thirdly, to pray, to supplicate, yea, to pray mightily, to pray strongly; and this is the cry of Faith. (Luke 18.7.) Shall not God avenge his own Elect, which cry day and night unto him? That is, which pray mightily to him night and day. The hypocrite in heart often makes the first cry when God bindeth him, the cry of impatience, but never the two latter; he makes not, either the cry of Repentance, or the cry of Faith in Prayer, when God bindeth him. This lets us see the second Part of the wickedness of these hypocrites, 'tis the omission of a most necessary duty, yea of two: They act very sinfully, for ⟨p. 265⟩they heap up wrath; they act not holily, for they do not cry when God binds them; that is, they neither repent nor pray, or they repent not heartily, they pray not earnestly, in the day of their affliction.
