the_o object_n of_o our_o high_a aversion_n well_o then_o it_o be_v hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o hearty_a resistance_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o last_o and_o chief_a act_n of_o repentance_n since_o our_o sorrow_n be_v design_v only_o to_o produce_v this_o effect_n and_o so_o after_o all_o to_o hate_v sin_n and_o most_o careful_o to_o avoid_v it_o be_v most_o true_o to_o repent_v of_o it_o and_o this_o repentance_n our_o first_o father_n even_o in_o his_o innocence_n act_v to_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o we_o do_v since_o his_o detestation_n of_o sin_n be_v great_a and_o till_o

precept_n of_o it_o to_o adam_n in_o his_o uprightness_n be_v altogether_o needless_a no_o not_o at_o all_o for_o a_o precept_n to_o oblige_v man_n to_o what_o be_v due_a and_o just_a be_v necessary_a for_o he_o in_o every_o condition_n and_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o due_a than_o to_o acknowledge_v a_o wrong_n do_v and_o what_o be_v repentance_n but_o a_o hearty_a own_n and_o lament_v the_o
