A PRESENT FOR JEHOVAH PSAL. 51.17 The Sacrifices of God are a broken Spirit a Broken and Contrite Heart O God thou wilt not dispise SUch is the necessity of true and unfeigned Repentance Introduction that without it even the most Righteous man upon the face of the Earth cannot be Saved in the Day of the Lord. John the Baptist began his preaching with Repentance Saying Repent yee for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand Mat. 3.2 Our Saviour Christ followed on Mat. 4.17 from that time Jesus began to preach and to say Repent For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand The Apostles followed his Example Acts 2.38 To those who were pricked in their hearts is Repentance preached Repent and be baptized every one of you for the Remission of sins And ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost But Luke 13.5 our Saviour tell those of Galilee Except ye Repent ye shall all likewise perish Obj. But these were notable Sinners Ans I but the Church of Ephesus Revel 2.5 which had many good things in her is commanded to remember from whence she had fallen and to repent So the Church of Sardis Revel 3.3 Remember how thou hast received and heard and hold fast and repent Thus you see the necessity of Repentance to all notwithstanding which How many be there in our Church seeming-Christians who contenting themselves with the Knowledge of the bare Name of Repentance never seek after the Knowledge of the Nature thereof How many who know the Nature never practice any part thereof Are not our fiduciaries such as those of St. Bernard who tells of many wayes whereby men Irreligous were wont to excuse their Sins Aut non feci quod dicis aut feci quod dic is sed benefeci aut si malé non multum malé aut si multum malé non mala intentione ut sentis Either I have not done that which thou sayest or if I have done it I did well But if 't were evil 't was no great hurt I pray God I may never do worse but if it was great hurt I had no intent to do it as thou thinkest Some stoutly deny their sins and with a Whorish Forehead put God as it were to his Proof for their sins They Mal. 1.6 Wherein have we despised thy Name Wherein have we polluted thee Some with Jonah Jonah 4.9 disobediently stick not to tell God to his Face That Hee did well to be angry unto the Death Some with Abemilech King of Gerar who when he took the Wife of Abraham Gen. 20.5 said He did it with an upright Heart Some put it off upon others as Adam upon Eve Gen. 3.12 13. 1 Sam. 15.21 Eve upon the Serpent Saul upon the People But thus did not our princely Prophet he took the Shame to himself Judged himself Judged himself Condemned himself came with an Halter about his * 1 Kings 20. v. 31 32. Neck as a Condemned Malefactor with his Pecavi Misereri mei Deus Informa pauperis Have mercy upon me O God This Psalm is a perfect Coppy and exact pattern of true and sound Repentance 2 Sam. 12.13 Penn'd by our Royal Prophet The title of the Psalm when Nathan the Prophet came unto him after he had gone in to Bathsheba and had defiled
