the_o direct_a be_v then_o most_o fit_a to_o be_v use_v when_o we_o can_v proceed_v in_o and_o prosecute_v the_o direct_a action_n to_o repent_v because_o we_o can_v repent_v and_o to_o grieve_v because_o we_o can_v grieve_v be_v a_o device_n invent_v to_o serve_v the_o turn_n of_o the_o mother_n of_o peter_n gratian_n but_o it_o be_v use_v by_o she_o and_o so_o advise_v to_o be_v in_o her_o

and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o sorry_a for_o our_o sin_n we_o can_v be_v sorry_a for_o want_v of_o sorrow_n it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v we_o can_v because_o want_v of_o sorrow_n to_o which_o

of_o god_n pardon_n for_o the_o imperfection_n of_o our_o repentance_n acceptance_n of_o our_o weak_a sorrow_n supply_v out_o of_o the_o treasure_n of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n and_o thus_o repent_v of_o the_o evil_a and_o unhandsome_a adherency_n of_o our_o repentance_n in_o the_o whole_a integrity_n of_o the_o duty_n it_o will_v become_v a_o repentance_n not_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o 6._o now_o

of_o all_o the_o imperfection_n of_o that_o duty_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v by_o that_o time_n be_v arrive_v to_o contrition_n that_o be_v it_o must_v have_v grow_v from_o fear_n to_o love_n from_o the_o passion_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o the_o affection_n of_o a_o son_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o beside_o the_o precedent_n be_v this_o because_o when_o our_o repentance_n be_v in_o this_o state_n it_o suppose_v the_o man_n also_o in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n a_o well_o grow_v christian_n for_o to_o hate_v sin_n out_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v not_o the_o felicity_n of_o a_o

of_o his_o day_n and_o if_o his_o repentance_n be_v contrition_n even_o before_o this_o state_n of_o sickness_n let_v it_o be_v increase_v by_o spiritual_a art_n and_o the_o proper_a exercise_n of_o charity_n mean_n of_o exciting_a contrition_n or_o repentance_n of_o sin_n proceed_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o which_o purpose_n the_o sick_a man_n may_v consider_v and_o be_v to_o be_v
