So the Prophet (Lam. 3.39, 40.) Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord; times of afflictions should be times of inquisition, when the Lord is smiting, we should be searching; when we have received many wounds, it is time for us to be suspecting our selves of many sins; and the counsel of others is not to be rejected, when seeing us in sorrow, they advise us to consider what our sins are, how great, and how many. For though we should be tender in pressing those who are under the load and burden of affliction, with the burden of their sins, yet they who are so, shall do well and wisely to press it upon themselves.

So the Prophet (Lam. 3.39, 40.) Why doth a living man complaine, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our wayes, and turne againe to the Lord; times of afflictions should be times of inquisition, when the Lord is smiting, we should be searching; when we have received many wounds, it is time for us to be suspecting our selves of many sinnes; and the counsell of others is not to be rejected, when seing us in sorrow, they advise us to consider what our sinnes are, how great, and how many.
