Griefe.
It's a great griefe to a childe of God, to
speake of any good thing he finds a want of in
himselfe.
We cannot heartily be grieved for the sin
of another, if we make no conscience of it in
our selves.
If we grieve much for any earthly thing, it
is a signe we seek not that comfort from God
we might and should.
If we did not immoderately love outward
things, we would not keep such a doe to get
them, nor so grieve at the losse of them as
we doe.
It's poornesse of spirit to joy or grieve at
any thing worse then our selves, yet this poor∣nesse
is in all men.
