cause_n of_o repentance_n 1_o the_o first_o further_a cause_n be_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o for_o when_o god_n put_v we_o in_o mind_n what_o he_o have_v do_v

many_o mercy_n god_n do_v bestow_v upon_o we_o so_o many_o strong_a motive_n they_o be_v unto_o repentance_n so_o jerem_n 2._o 2._o god_n show_v his_o former_a kindness_n unto_o they_o expostulate_v

of_o god_n towards_o we_o that_o though_o we_o slip_v and_o slide_v from_o he_o by_o our_o sin_n yet_o he_o send_v to_o we_o love_v token_n his_o mercy_n and_o his_o blessing_n every_o day_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o bring_v we_o home_o by_o repentance_n help_v cause_n of_o repentance_n 2_o the_o second_o help_v or_o further_a cause_n be_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n this_o be_v a_o principal_a cause_n in_o further_a 12._o of_o our_o repentance_n as_o we_o may_v see_v genesis_n 42._o 12._o of_o josephs_n brethren_n when_o they_o be_v in_o trouble_n than_o they_o confess_v their_o

will_v forgive_v we_o but_o if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v be_v assure_v we_o must_v answer_v for_o our_o sin_n whereas_o upon_o repentance_n christ_n will_v answer_v for_o we_o and_o we_o may_v

necessity_n of_o repentance_n that_o be_v be_v such_o a_o necessary_a grace_n that_o we_o can_v be_v save_v without_o it_o for_o there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n either_o to_o repent_v or_o else_o to_o perish_v for_o if_o a_o man_n weresicke_a and_o a_o physician_n shall_v come_v to_o man_n he_o and_o temper_n for_o he_o such_o a_o potion_n which_o if_o he_o do_v not_o take_v he_o can_v not_o

which_o the_o lord_n have_v temper_v for_o we_o be_v repentance_n therefore_o we_o must_v be_v content_v to_o take_v it_o though_o it_o be_v against_o our_o stomach_n the_o second_o consideration_n be_v the_o utility_n and_o profit_n we_o have_v by_o it_o for_o if_o we_o repent_v god_n will_v forgive_v we_o but_o if_o we_o repent_v not_o god_n will_v make_v we_o answer_v for_o it_o at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n here_o be_v our_o choice_n repent_v and_o be_v forgive_v repent_v not_o and_o perish_v so_o the_o lord_n promise_v forgiveness_n upon_o repentance_n isa._n 1._o 18._o though_o 18._o your_o sin_n wer●red_v as_o scarlet_a he_o will_v make_v they_o white_a as_o snow_n if_o you_o repent_v and_o obey_v that_o be_v in_o god_n account_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o the_o
