When God cries, then we should weep, considering wherefore he cries: for there is nothing that can provoke the Lord to cry, but sin, and that he ever crieth against. ⟨p. 95⟩Do what thou wilt, and say what thou wilt, and the Lord will not be offended with you unless you sin. For as an angry man ever pursueth that which he hateth, until he hath destroyed it: so the Lord ever crosseth and hindereth us in all our wicked actions, until he hath slain sin in us.
When God cries, then we should weepe, considering wherefore he cries: for there is nothing that can prouoke the Lord to crie, but sinne, and that he euer crieth against. ⟨p. 95⟩Do what thou wilt, and say what thou wilt, and the Lord wil not be offended with you vnlesse you sinne. For as an angrie man euer pursueth that which he hateth, vntill he hath destroyed it: so the Lord euer crosseth and hindereth vs in all our wicked actions, vntill he hath slaine sinne in vs.
