* 1.1This benefit is pressed as a motive unto godly sorrow. 1 Pet. 5.5, 6. GOD giveth grace to the humble. Humble your selves therefore (saith the Apostle) under the mighty hand of GOD. Iam. 4.6, 7, 9. GOD giveth grace to the humble. Submit your selves therefore to GOD, Be af∣flicted and mourne and weepe.
The second benefit this sorrow will bring, is, that it will make us ca∣pable of and able to thrive in every saving grace.
Such shall attaine to a cleare, cer∣taine, and sanctified knowledge of the truth. Such shall get power over their corruptions, Eccles. 7.3. 2 Chron. 32.26.
Counterfeit humiliation, hath beene effectuall for the turning away of Gods iudge∣ments. 2 Chron. 12.12.
