to_o continue_v in_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n the_o apostle_n see_v that_o this_o sorrow_n which_o as_o paul_n witness_v be_v not_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o be_v well_o begin_v in_o they_o but_o in_o

which_o bring_v eternal_a death_n not_o in_o a_o godly_a grief_n which_o bring_v repentance_n wherefore_o we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o repentance_n begin_v in_o we_o continue_v and_o end_v with_o sorrow_n now_o if_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v expedient_a to_o show_v what_o repentance_n be_v in_o one_o word_n repentance_n be_v not_o a_o bare_a leave_v of_o sin_n but_o a_o utter_a condemn_v and_o

lord_n will_v not_o take_v away_o his_o holy_a spirit_n from_o he_o how_o can_v these_o two_o stand_v together_o first_o to_o pray_v that_o a_o new_a spirit_n may_v be_v create_v in_o he_o and_o then_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v take_v from_o he_o sure_o the_o spirit_n itself_o be_v still_o in_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o pray_v that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v take_v from_o he_o but_o the_o grace_n &_o gracious_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v and_o therefore_o he_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v be_v renew_v in_o he_o by_o this_o than_o we_o
