A wounded spirit who can bear? Prov. 18. ⟨p. 108⟩14. The wise man gives a challenge to the whole creation, to find out a person that is strong enough to undergo such a burden, and certainly none ever dared to accept the challenge. How intolerable hath such a weight been to them that are Lyons for strength and courage? This caused Davids broken bones, and watered couch. This made Heman at his wits end, Psal. 88.15. This made Spira that seven years monument of Gods justice,1 (as Mr. Shepherd calls him) to roar so horribly out of anguish of spirit. This made Daniel choose rather to be cast to the cruel Lyons, then to carry about with him such a ravenous Lyon in his conscience. This made some of the Martyrs to feel a very hell in their consciences after their recantation; no wolf in the breast, no worm in the bowels, no frenzy so out-ragious as a gnawing corroding conscience.
