very_a thought_n and_o intendment_n of_o repentance_n prevail_v with_o he_o thus_o david_n find_v it_o psalm_n 32.5_o i_o say_v i_o will_v confess_v my_o sin_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o thou_o forgave_v the_o iniquity_n of_o my_o sin_n so_o god_n promise_v before_o you_o speak_v i_o will_v hear_v and_o answer_v you_o second_o the_o imperfect_a act_n of_o repentance_n prevail_v with_o he_o if_o true_a and_o sincere_a though_o not_o according_a to_o the_o purification_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n david_n cry_v out_o i_o have_v sin_v present_o god_n absolve_v he_o three_o nay_o god_n be_v so_o propitious_a to_o repentance_n that_o even_o outward_a repentance_n if_o it_o be_v serious_a have_v some_o good_a success_n with_o he_o for_o the_o escape_n of_o temporal_a judgement_n ahab_n be_v a_o wicked_a man_n his_o sorrow_n be_v not_o for_o sin_n but_o for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n yet_o god_n pass_v by_o he_o for_o that_o time_n upon_o his_o humiliation_n so_o the_o israelite_n repentance_n psalm_n 78._o be_v a_o unsound_a repentance_n yet_o upon_o that_o he_o be_v so_o merciful_a that_o he_o will_v not_o destroy_v they_o first_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o gracious_a nature_n to_o relent_v upon_o submission_n and_o deprecation_n not_o to_o be_v implacable_a and_o revengeful_a it_o be_v so_o with_o man_n how_o much_o more_o be_v god_n gracious_o incline_v he_o be_v slow_a to_o anger_n ready_a to_o forgive_v two_o rare_a property_n among_o man_n those_o that_o be_v soon_o angry_a if_o they_o be_v soon_o please_v we_o count_v they_o good_a nature_n on_o the_o contrary_n they_o go_v too_o often_o together_o hardly_o anger_v and_o hardly_o please_v but_o god_n be_v hardly_o anger_v soon_o please_v if_o thy_o brother_n come_v and_o say_v it_o repent_v i_o forgive_v he_o a_o second_o reason_n especial_o when_o the_o breach_n be_v among_o friend_n than_o love_n will_v be_v soon_o revive_v thus_o it_o be_v betwixt_o god_n and_o his_o people_n though_o he_o be_v angry_a yet_o he_o remember_v his_o old_a love_a kindness_n as_o isay_n 16.6_o i_o will_v remember_v the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n betwixt_o god_n and_o his_o people_n there_o be_v a_o league_n of_o love_n and_o love_v it_o be_v soon_o intreatable_a repentance_n remove_v the_o matter_n of_o god_n anger_n and_o displeasure_n fire_n burn_v no_o long_a than_o the_o fuel_n feed_v it_o our_o sin_n be_v the_o fuel_n of_o his_o wrath_n repentance_n remove_v they_o and_o his_o wrath_n cease_v namely_o it_o be_v his_o own_o gracious_a covenant_n the_o sweet_a condescension_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v condition_v with_o we_o if_o you_o repent_v he_o will_v be_v merciful_a we_o owe_v it_o to_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n thus_o our_o repentance_n prevail_v with_o he_o come_v we_o to_o the_o second_o particular_a of_o this_o hope_n that_o he_o will_v repent_v that_o be_v another_o gracious_a effect_n of_o our_o repentance_n it_o will_v cause_n god_n to_o repent_v a_o strange_a work_n to_o see_v god_n repent_v repentance_n it_o be_v for_o man_n and_o for_o sinful_a man_n god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v 1._o sam._n 15.29_o repentance_n it_o be_v but_o in_o two_o case_n neither_o incident_a unto_o god_n first_o when_o any_o thing_n happen_v upon_o our_o action_n which_o we_o do_v not_o foresee_v god_n be_v not_o mistake_v know_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v all_o his_o work_n from_o the_o beginning_n second_o when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o we_o do_v not_o approve_v god_n work_n be_v all_o holy_a and_o unblameable_a why_o shall_v he_o repent_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v the_o scripture_n use_v this_o language_n it_o repent_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v make_v man_n and_o it_o grieve_v he_o at_o his_o heart_n gen._n 6.6_o so_o it_o be_v say_v in_o samuel_n it_o repent_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v make_v saul_n king_n 1._o sam._n 15.35_o not_o that_o god_n have_v those_o motion_n and_o affection_n which_o we_o find_v and_o feel_v when_o we_o repent_v for_o first_o repentance_n change_v we_o there_o be_v no_o change_n in_o god_n second_o repentance_n afflict_v we_o god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o sorrowful_a affliction_n three_o repentance_n condemn_v and_o blame_v that_o action_n of_o which_o we_o repent_v all_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v just_a and_o holy_a and_o unreprovable_a it_o be_v a_o speech_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n not_o that_o god_n have_v the_o affection_n of_o repentance_n but_o he_o exercise_v those_o action_n which_o in_o man_n do_v flow_v from_o repentance_n when_o god_n change_v his_o deed_n and_o deal_n with_o man_n than_o the_o scripture_n say_v he_o repent_v repentance_n in_o god_n import_v a_o change_n in_o some_o affect_v of_o he_o no_o change_n of_o his_o mind_n gregory_n say_v he_o be_v say_v to_o reverse_v his_o sentence_n but_o not_o to_o alter_v his_o council_n or_o take_v it_o thus_o repentance_n have_v a_o double_a aspect_n first_o it_o look_v backward_o to_o what_o have_v be_v do_v so_o it_o be_v nolle_n fecisse_fw-la i_o wish_v i_o have_v not_o do_v so_o this_o action_n be_v not_o in_o god_n he_o be_v never_o sorry_a for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v 2._o repentance_n look_v forward_o and_o so_o it_o be_v noble_a ultra_fw-la facere_fw-la i_o will_v do_v so_o no_o more_o this_o god_n assume_v to_o himself_o i_o will_v punish_v no_o more_o i_o will_v change_v my_o deal_n bless_v where_o i_o curse_v promise_v where_o i_o threaten_v yet_o we_o must_v not_o part_v with_o this_o sweet_a expression_n of_o god_n repent_v towards_o we_o we_o see_v god_n clothes_n himself_o with_o this_o repent_v and_o melt_a affection_n it_o repent_v the_o lord_n because_o of_o their_o groan_n judge_n 2.18_o he_o repent_v according_a to_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o mercy_n psalm_n 106.45_o so_o god_n threaten_v many_o judgement_n then_o add_v the_o lord_n repent_v of_o this_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v amos_n 5.7_o see_v how_o god_n relent_a and_o reverse_v his_o threaten_n agree_v with_o his_o repent_v first_o in_o all_o their_o affliction_n he_o be_v afflict_v esay_n 63.9_o how_o do_v he_o seem_v to_o condole_v their_o punishment_n she_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n hand_n double_a for_o all_o her_o sin_n isa_n 40.2_o how_o shall_v i_o give_v thou_o up_o ephraim_n my_o heart_n be_v turn_v within_o i_o my_o repenting_n be_v kindle_v together_o second_o that_o be_v another_o expression_n of_o repentance_n to_o break_v off_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v intend_v thus_o god_n assume_v repentance_n if_o he_o have_v punish_v he_o will_v cease_v from_o punish_v if_o he_o have_v threaten_v he_o will_v cancel_v his_o threaten_n if_o he_o have_v pass_v sentence_n he_o will_v reverse_v it_o he_o desire_v to_o repent_v of_o the_o evil_n he_o have_v purpose_v against_o they_o three_o he_o that_o repent_v be_v angry_a with_o all_o that_o provoke_v he_o to_o do_v what_o he_o repent_v of_o or_o be_v helper_n or_o instrument_n in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o thus_o do_v god_n all_o those_o that_o have_v any_o hand_n in_o afflict_a o●_n his_o people_n he_o be_v high_o displease_v with_o they_o as_o a_o parent_n cast_v the_o rod_n into_o th●_n fire_n he_o will_v afflict_v those_o that_o afflict_v his_o people_n thus_o god_n threaten_v edom_n thou_o shall_v not_o have_v look_v upon_o th●_n day_n of_o thy_o brother_n in_o the_o day_n that_o he_o become_v to_o be_v a_o stranger_n obad._n 12._o verse_n thus_o go_v tell_v abraham_n the_o nation_n that_o shall_v oppress_v they_o i_o

five_o a_o true_a penitent_n will_v vow_v the_o contrary_a so_o do_v god_n swear_v to_o they_o to_o spare_v they_o for_o this_o be_v as_o the_o water_n of_o noah_n unto_o i_o for_o as_o i_o have_v

afflict_v his_o people_n for_o a_o little_a anger_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o love_n and_o mercy_n for_o a_o small_a moment_n have_v i_o forsake_v thou_o but_o with_o great_a mercy_n will_v i_o gather_v
