4. Gospel-Mourning is for sin in particular: Dolosus versatur in generalibus: It is with a true penitent as it is with a wounded man; he comes to the Chirurgeon, and shows him all his wounds; here I was cut with the Sword, here I was shot with a Bullet; So a true penitent bewails all his particular sins: Judg. 10.10. We have served Baalim; they mourned for their Idolatry: And David lays his finger upon the sore, and points to that very sin that troubled him: Psal. 51.4. I have done this evil; he means his blood-guiltiness; a wicked man will say he is a sinner; but a child of God saith, I have done this evil. Peter wept for that particular sin of denying Christ; Clemens Alexandrinus saith, he never heard a Cock crow, but he fell a weeping; there must be a particular Repentance, before we have a general pardon.
