They howled upon their beds in regard of their pain. §3The brute beasts in their pain and trouble will cry out and roar: even thus did these men here, the extremity of the misery they were in forced howling from them. There are no men cry more out of judgments when they are executed, than those that were least sensible of them when they were threatened. Carnal hearts cry out altogether of the misery of the times, the judgment it is that troubles them, more than the sin the procurer of them. See this between Pharaoh and David, Saul and David: Saul cries, he cries to Samuel, saying, I have sinned, and done foolishly, yet honour me I pray thee, before the people. David he confesseth his sin and accepts of the punishment of his iniquity, Lord, 'tis I that have sinned, as for these sheep, what have they done? Pharaoh he cries to Moses that he would pray to God to deliver him from the plagues that were upon him. David he cries to God, Lord take away the iniquity of thy servant. If iniquity be done away, judgment will soon be removed, sin being the cause of all misery.
