the sorrow

The sorrow of carnal men about worldly objects, loss of fortune, fame, or friends; which, being separated from the fear and love of God, and faith in his providence and mercy, frequently drinks up their spirits, breaks their proud, rebellious hearts, or drives them to lay desperate hands on themselves.

Genesis 4:13-15 30:1 1 Samuel 30:6 2 Samuel 13:4 17:23 1 Kings 21:4 Proverbs 15:13,15 Proverbs 17:22 18:14 Jonah 4:9 Matthew 27:4,5 Hebrews 12:17

For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
