Quest. But will all mourning intitle a man to blessedness?
Answ. No; there is a twofold mourning which is far from making one blessed.
There is a Carnal Mourning. Diabolical Mourning.
1. There is a Carnal Mourning, when we lament outward losses. Matth. 2.18. In Rama there was a voice heard, lamentation and weeping, and great Mourning; Rachel weeping for her children, &c. There are abundance of these tears shed; we have many can mourn over a Dead Child, that cannot mourn over a Crucified Saviour: Worldly sorrow hastens our Funerals. 2 Cor. 7.10. The sorrow of the world worketh death.
