And as touching prayers Hezekiah was heard, when with weeping he prayed, and the death which was threatened him was differed to an other time. Josiah also was heard, who prayed unto GOD with many tears. The 126. Psalm speaketh thus of the fruit of prayer, which hath sighing and tears adjoined with it: They went and wept, casting their seeds, but doubtless they shall come, & with joy shall bring with them their sheaves. And they which sow in tears, shall reap in joy. It is also written in the 7. Psalm: The Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. And in the 56. Psalm: The tears of the Saints are in a manner put before GOD in a bottle or pot, and faithfully sealed in his book. David also in his 95 Psalm stirreth us up by these words: Let us weep before the Lord which made us, &c. But much more are we instigated unto it by the example of Christ, who (as it is written in the Epistle to the Hebrews) with a loud cry, and with tears prayed for us. Paul also in the 20. of the Acts sayeth, that he had long served the Lord with an humble heart and with tears.

And they which sowe in teares, shall reape in ioye. It is also written in the 7. Psalme: The Lorde hath hearde the voyce of my weepyng. And in the 56. Psalme: The teares of the Sainctes are in a manner put before GOD in a bottle or potte, and faythfully sealed in hys booke. Dauid also in hys 95 Psalme stirreth vs vp by these wordes: Let vs weepe before the Lorde whiche made vs, &c. But muche more are we instigated vnto it by the example of Christe, who (as it is written in the Epistle to the Hebrues) with a loude crye, and with teares prayed for vs. Paul also in the 20. of the Actes sayeth, that he had longe serued the Lorde with an humble hearte and with teares.
1Nevertheless God alloweth not those tears, which are by a certain natural nation poured out without any affection of the mind: as it commonly happeneth unto those, whose eyes are stricken with any stroke, or to those which run either on foot or on horseback, and which with over much drink become drunk: for these are natural accidences, neither pertain they any thing to godliness. But affections after which tears do follow are these: heaviness of the mind,
