Again, §6It's one thing for grief, sorrow, Repentance to be more in view, sense, and noise: and another thing to be more in spirit, and in profit. As now for Example: The rain does sometime fall in a storm, and when it does so, it makes a great noise: the earth hath not time for to take it at the first into it's bosom; it runs down the streets in great abundance, and it stands in some places, in great plashes of water: At another time the rain falls by small drops, and makes no such noise; but yet notwithstanding, it falls to the root of the Corn, and profits more: for when the rain falls so in a storm, it lays the Corn; the Corn (I say) is laid by it. So now, sorrow, and grief sometimes falls in a storm, as in Legal Repentance; and it is great in view, stands in great plashes of water: Oh! but then it doth lay our Duties, it lays our Assurance, it lays our Faith: Evangelical Repentance, that makes no such noise, but it falls to the root of the graces, and don't lay your comfort, it don't lay your Assurance, it don't lay your Duties. And so it is more in profit.
