repentance Matth. 12. Heb. 6. Sometimes it rusheth mediately and directly against God and sometimes it reacheth more properly to the hurt of our neighbour But who is able to reckon up all the branches of this most bitter and venomous tree wherefore to looke more nearely unto it whence proceedeth this deadly poyson Cause Eficient what may be the cause whereof it commeth and the fountaine from whence it springeth Surely my soule it is even thy selfe thou art the roote that bringeth forth all this bitternesse thou art the fountaine from whence all this deadly venome doth arise For every man is tempted to sinne and hee is drawne away of his owne concupisence and enticed Beware therefore O rebellius soule that thou lay not the blame upon the Lord neither make him the author of thy sinne for thou O God as thou canst not be tempted to evill thy selfe so thou temptest no man to commit sinne being a thing which thou so straitly forbiddest to all and so severely threatnest in whomsoever it is found and for which thou so grieveously plaguest the wicked and so sharpely correctest thine owne children Iam. 1.13 14.
