from_o evil_a to_o good_a this_o repentance_n no_o doubt_n be_v in_o

david_n who_o when_o he_o be_v covert_o reprove_v by_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n and_o his_o sin_n lay_v before_o his_o eye_n do_v not_o stubborn_o defend_v they_o and_o so_o justle_v against_o god_n nor_o yet_o secret_o excuse_v they_o and_o daub_v they_o over_o but_o cry_v out_o in_o the_o bitterness_n of_o his_o heart_n i_o have_v sin_v and_o thereupon_o make_v the_o 51._o psalm_n a_o psalm_n indeed_o full_a of_o dolour_n and_o heaviness_n wherein_o the_o prophet_n bewail_v his_o fall_n lament_v his_o sin_n and_o pray_v even_o for_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n new_a thought_n new_a affection_n new_a purpose_n of_o amendment_n of_o life_n so_o that_o in_o david_n we_o may_v see_v a_o inward_a sorrow_n a_o last_a grief_n as_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n do_v every_o where_n declare_v which_o lay_v he_o out_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o anotamie_n yea_o and_o great_a reformation_n both_o in_o inward_a &_o outward_a sin_n here_o therefore_o behold_v what_o be_v repentance_n likewise_o s._n peter_n through_o infirmity_n have_v deny_v his_o lord_n and_o master_n christ_n and_o be_v punch_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n &_o waken_v with_o the_o alaram_fw-la

then_o what_o be_v repentance_n the_o prophet_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n exhortinge_v y_o e_o rebellious_a jew_n unto_o repentance_n use_v common_o a_o hebrew_n verb_n which_o signify_v turn_v

again_o the_o contrary_a way_n so_o those_o y_o it_o have_v stray_v from_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n to_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n must_v come_v back_o again_o as_o fast_o as_o ever_o they_o go_v forward_o &_o altogether_o change_v the_o course_n of_o their_o life_n so_o that_o repentance_n be_v a_o earnest_n turn_v unto_o god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n soul_n and_o mind_n saint_n john_n baptist_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n exhort_v unto_o repentance_n use_v a_o greek_a word_n which_o signify_v a_o change_v of_o the_o mind_n afterward_o or_o afterwitte_n so_o that_o those_o which_o through_o their_o folly_n &_o want_n of_o former_a wit_n have_v slip_v into_o the_o deep_a pit_n and_o dangerous_a gulf_n of_o sin_n when_o they_o come_v to_o themselves_o &_o have_v recover_v their_o wit_n will_v be_v wise_a afterward_o &_o take_v heed_n they_o never_o come_v there_o again_o according_a to_o the_o pron_v the_o burn_a child_n will_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o fire_n by_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v you_o see_v what_o be_v repentance_n it_o be_v not_o every_o sorrow_n but_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n not_o for_o some_o sin_n but_o for_o all_o sin_n not_o for_o a_o hour_n but_o for_o ever_o not_o for_o a_o day_n but_o continual_o not_o for_o a_o week_n but_o as_o long_o as_o we_o live_v some_o think_v every_o sorrow_n be_v repentance_n but_o so_o shall_v worldling_n repent_v some_o think_v every_o little_a pante_v for_o sin_n be_v repentance_n so_o shall_v pharaoh_n repent_v some_o think_v all_o weep_a and_o lament_v for_o sin_n be_v repentance_n so_o shall_v esau_n judas_n &_o cain_n repent_v some_o think_v every_o little_a humble_v of_o ourselves_o be_v repentance_n but_o so_o shall_v achab_n repent_v some_o think_v you_o to_o good_a word_n and_o

will_v see_v what_o it_o be_v indeed_o look_v back_o to_o y_z t_z which_o have_v be_v say_v afore_o for_o he_o that_o will_v repent_v in_o good_a earnest_n must_v not_o hang_v down_o his_o head_n
