first_o i_o answer_v repentance_n proper_o take_v note_n a_o change_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o in_o a_o improper_a or_o allusive_a sense_n there_o may_v be_v repentance_n without_o any_o the_o least_o change_n of_o the_o mind_n when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v as_o in_o those_o text_n allege_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o improper_o or_o only_o in_o allusion_n unto_o man_n the_o scripture_n in_o many_o other_o thing_n speak_v of_o god_n either_o as_o condescend_v to_o man_n understanding_n or_o as_o allude_v to_o the_o common_a action_n of_o man_n god_n do_v not_o act_n as_o man_n do_v yet_o by_o such_o expression_n as_o hold_v out_o what_o and_o how_o man_n act_n we_o may_v come_v the_o more_o easy_o to_o understand_v what_o god_n do_v as_o in_o the_o present_a instance_n when_o man_n repent_v he_o do_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o he_o cease_v to_o do_v what_o he_o begin_v to_o do_v he_o break_v the_o thread_n of_o his_o former_a motion_n second_o when_o

have_v set_v up_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n he_o remove_v and_o take_v it_o down_o thus_o god_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v not_o because_o his_o mind_n be_v change_v but_o because_o as_o a_o man_n that_o repent_v he_o cease_v to_o do_v what_o he_o do_v or_o he_o destroy_v that_o which_o he_o have_v make_v thus_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o repent_v his_o make_n of_o saul_n king_n because_o he_o mean_v to_o remove_v he_o from_o be_v king_n and_o to_o repent_v that_o he_o have_v make_v the_o world_n because_o his_o purpose_n be_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n to_o deface_v and_o destroy_v the_o present_a beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o world_n which_o he_o have_v make_v god_n often_o put_v forth_o the_o effect_n of_o repentance_n towards_o man_n but_o the_o repentance_n of_o a_o man_n never_o put_v forth_o any_o effect_n upon_o god_n second_o we_o may_v answer_v thus_o god_n often_o mind_v a_o change_n 7._o aliud_fw-la est_fw-la mutare_fw-la voluntatem_fw-la aliud_fw-la

do_v mind_n a_o change_n or_o make_v a_o change_n but_o not_o that_o he_o do_v change_v his_o mind_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o to_o mind_n or_o determine_v a_o

his_o mind_n be_v to_o wear_v heavy_a and_o thick_a garment_n that_o he_o may_v be_v warm_a now_o if_o this_o man_n when_o winter_n come_v leaf_n off_o his_o light_n thin_a garment_n &_o put_v on_o
