328. On Contrition.

Contrition, in all true Converts found,
Is the up-breaking of the fallow ground;
The renting, or the pricking of the heart
For sin, a sensibility of smart:
It's the way to conversion from sins;
Conversion with contrition begins,
Contrition imports an inward sorrow,
Sincerity, which hath no need to borrow
A feigned Art; true faith, with strong desire
Of mercy, though we have deserv'd hell-fire.
Let's mourn for sin, mourning will now do well,
Who mourns not here on earth, shall mourn in hell,
Obdurate Souls shall have eternal shame,
God will renounce whom he could not reclaime;
But he will not a contrite heart despise,
O 'tis his acceptable Sacrifice.
Mirth more than mourning pleaseth Kings on earth,
God more delights in mourning than in mirth:
The Spir't of grace dropping as dew upon
The heart, makes it a soft and tender one:
God poureth forth his spirit on his Saints,
Which makes them mourn, and pour forth sad complaints,
180

Sayes the poor sinner, Oh that I should spurn
Against such bowels, and for this doth mourn:
He washeth with his tears Christ's wounds, before
He wept for fear, now he for love weeps more.
What folly is it not to mourn? how shall
God bottle up our tears, which never fall?
Or how shall he wipe those tears from our eyes,
Which never trickled thence, with fresh supplies
On our moist cheeks? Or shall he comforts give
To us, that do not mourn, that will not grieve?
God makes us wise that we may choose the best,
To mourn now with Gods servants, and be blest
With them; blessed are they that tears do shed,
For they shall be hereafter comforted.
