grieve_v for_o thy_o sin_n especial_o for_o that_o it_o be_v against_o god_n and_o cause_v thou_o to_o break_v his_o law_n for_o if_o thou_o can_v be_v sorry_a for_o thy_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v against_o god_n more_o than_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n it_o be_v a_o good_a sign_n that_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o ready_a way_n of_o repentance_n wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v no_o shame_n nor_o punishment_n no_o hell_n nor_o damnation_n yet_o thou_o ought_v to_o repent_v because_o thou_o have_v sin_v against_o so_o good_a and_o gracious_a a_o god_n who_o have_v create_v and_o redeem_v thou_o six_o faith_n be_v the_o ground_n or_o root_n of_o repentance_n faith_n may_v be_v add_v unto_o repentance_n not_o as_o a_o part_n but_o as_o the_o ground_n or_o root_v thereof_o for_o it_o can_v be_v that_o the_o root_n and_o the_o fruit_n shall_v be_v both_o one_o thing_n and_o without_o faith_n there_o can_v never_o be_v any_o true_a repentance_n therefore_o they_o be_v still_o join_v together_o to_o clear_v this_o doubt_n thou_o must_v consider_v three_o thing_n first_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n second_o the_o time_n three_o the_o manifestation_n of_o they_o both_o in_o order_n of_o

repent_v unless_o he_o hope_v for_o pardon_n so_o that_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v believe_v then_o upon_o that_o come_v repentance_n by_o manifestation_n repentance_n go_v before_o faith_n for_o it_o be_v soon_o descry_v than_o faith_n regeneration_n be_v like_o the_o sap_n of_o a_o tree_n hide_v within_o the_o bark_n when_o as_o repentance_n be_v like_o the_o bud_n that_o speedy_o show_v

that_o he_o be_v go_n and_o none_o can_v have_v belief_n but_o he_o that_o have_v his_o grace_n and_o faith_n in_o he_o furthermore_o none_o can_v repent_v unless_o they_o hate_v sin_n and_o faith_n cause_v a_o man_n to_o hate_v sin_n now_o none_o can_v hate_v sin_n except_o he_o be_v sanctify_v and_o none_o can_v be_v sanctify_v without_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o this_o can_v be_v without_o faith_n for_o faith_n comprehend_v justification_n again_o the_o inward_a or_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o repentance_n be_v faith_n which_o may_v be_v call_v the_o mother_n of_o repentance_n
