bitterly Iamcnt the fins which brought ſorrows and ſhame upon our Lord. © y This birterneſs compared to the grief of one who loſeth his firſt—born, to confirm and illuſtrate whar he had juſt before ſpo- ken of Chriſtians mourning for Chrift,
11 In that day = ſhall there be a * great « mourning in Jeruftlem,* as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. :
When the Jews ſhall know, own and mourn for their ſins,and for that great fin in crucifying the Lord of Glory. a A very great Morning, which is cxpreft by the greateſt the Jews ever were ac: quain:ed with, and which for irs greatneſs grew up 11to 4 Proverb, The Mourning of Hadadrimmon, or the Mourning for 7oſ12h flain at Hatadrimmon, a Town in the Valley of Hegiddon. Of this Mourn- inz, fce 2 Chron. 35, 24, 25-

13 Tre famiiy of the houſe of Levi apart, ard their | wives apart : the family of Shimet apart,and their wives | apart :
The ſacerdotal Tribe was the moſt bitter and fierce Perſecutors of Chrift, they hired the Traitor, ney ſought witneſs; the High Prieft ( Head of that Family ) condemned him to die, for all which they ſhall one Day reckon with God, and therefore above other Tribes they are particularly named as chiet Mourners for their Injuſtice aid Cruelty to Chriſt. Here is one particular Branch of Levi's Family mentioned, tne Family of Shinez, of whom 1 Chron. 6.17. Theſe two Families had been a-eply gwlty, now they do as eminently concern themſelves to mourn tor tim, folament the fin, deprecate the fierce Wrath of God, and fubinit ro ms Kingdom, which their Fathers did not, would not do. In this Family where moſt were bitter, bloo- dy Enemies to Chriſt, ſome had other Thoughts of him, and mourned ior him.
14 All the tamilies that remain, every family aparr, and rheir wives apart.
It would be ſomewhat tedious to repeat every Family and their Wives once, therctore a geueral compreheative Account may ſerve z fvme of every Family 0; the whuijc Remnant of Iſrael mourn, bclieve, Loox to, and obey Chrift rhe Mefſrah. So the Mourning for Chriſt bears ſome Proportion to their violent dealing againſt Chrijt, aud they through Faith live by the Blood they did ſpill, and petto Glory by ijai whom they loaded with Reproaches ; what will not Grace do when 1t conyerteth, acceptcth, comforteth, glori- ficth ſuch Offendcrs ?
