The Redeemer's tears wept over lost souls a treatise on Luke XIX, 41, 42

For since we are not sufficient to think any thing (that good is) of our selves, it is much more reasonable to ascribe any such thoughts or agitations of spirit that have this design to him, than to our selves, and to account that he is yet at work with us (at least in the way of common grace) though when our thoughts drive towards a conclusion ⟨p. 161⟩against our selves, that we have committed that sin, and towards despair thereupon, we are to apprehend a mixture of temptation in them; which we are concerned earnestly to watch and pray against. And yet even such temptation is an argument of such a ones not having committed that sin. For such as the devil may apprehend more likely to have committed it (and 'tis not to be thought he can be sure who have) he will be less apt to trouble with such thoughts, not knowing what the issue of that unquietness may prove, and apprehending it may occasion their escaping quite out of his snare. And I do conceive this to be a safer method, of satisfying such as are perplexed with this fear in our days, than to be positive in stating that sin so, or limiting it to such circumstances, as shall make it impossible to be committed in this age of the World. For let it be seriously considered, whether it be altogether an unsupposeable thing, that, with some in our days, there may be an equivalency, in point of light and evidence of the truth of Christianity, unto what ⟨p. 102⟩those Jews had, whom our Saviour warns of the danger of this sin, at that time when he so warned them; his warning and cautioning them about it, implies that he judged them, at least in a possibility, at that time, of incurring the guilt of it. If the text Mat. 12. do not also imply that he reckoned them, then, actually to have committed it. For it is said, ver. 25. he knew their thoughts, i. e. considered the temper of their minds, and thereupon said to them that which follows concerning it. Let us consider wherein their advantage towards their being ascertained of the truth of the Christian Religion, was greater than we now can have. It was, chiefly, in this respect greater, that they had a nearer, and more immediate knowledge of the matter of fact, wherein that evidence which our Saviour refers to did consist. A more immediate way of knowing it they had; the most immediate the persons whom he warns (or charges) seem not to have had:
