shall_v attain_v these_o two_o grace_n first_o for_o repentance_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o repentance_n there_o be_v a_o false_a repentance_n and_o a_o true_a repentance_n a_o false_a repentance_n be_v that_o which_o a_o man_n be_v drive_v to_o through_o fear_n of_o hell_n and_o damnation_n when_o a_o wicked_a man_n lie_v upon_o his_o deathbed_n than_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v sorry_a for_o his_o sin_n past_a and_o make_v many_o fair_a promise_n of_o a_o new_a life_n if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o restore_v he_o again_o though_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o like_v and_o love_v those_o sin_n he_o seem_v to_o repent_v of_o and_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o former_a health_n he_o follow_v his_o old_a course_n again_o now_o this_o kind_n of_o repentance_n can_v never_o be_v effectual_a to_o salvation_n 2._o now_o you_o must_v mind_n what_o true_a repentance_n be_v true_a repentatce_n be_v a_o save_a grace_n whereby_o a_o sinner_n out_o of_o a_o true_a sense_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o apprehension_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n do_v with_o grief_n and_o hatred_n of_o his_o sin_n turn_v from_o it_o unto_o god_n with_o full_a purpose_n of_o and_o endeavour_v after_o new_a obedience_n but_o now_o see_v without_o this_o repentance_n there_o be_v no_o get_n to_o heaven_n and_o that_o we_o can_v repent_v of_o ourselver_n it_o be_v of_o god_n free_a gift_n i_o will_v therefore_o give_v you_o some_o plain_a direction_n how_o repentance_n may_v be_v have_v and_o how_o to_o go_v through_o with_o it_o for_o though_o we_o can_v repent_v of_o ourselves_o yet_o if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v the_o fault_n lie_v upon_o we_o 1._o the_o first_o step_n to_o true_a repentance_n be_v the_o examination_n of_o yourselves_o try_v your_o heart_n and_o search_v into_o your_o former_a life_n how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n you_o have_v spend_v your_o time_n since_o you_o have_v be_v a_o child_n and_o to_o this_o end_n i_o counsel_v you_o to_o make_v a_o catalogue_n of_o all_o your_o sin_n you_o can_v possible_o call_v to_o mind_n for_o which_o purpose_n you_o must_v take_v the_o ten_o commandment_n for_o your_o pattern_n have_v i_o time_n and_o room_n i_o will_v for_o your_o memory_n write_v you_o a_o catalogue_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v against_o each_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n but_o they_o be_v so_o many_o that_o i_o can_v do_v it_o in_o so_o small_a a_o book_n as_o this_o but_o i_o counsel_v you_o to_o get_v you_o a_o book_n wherein_o be_v the_o exposition_n on_o the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o show_v what_o be_v those_o sin_n of_o omission_n and_o commission_n which_o be_v against_o every_o command_n and_o try_v yourself_o by_o these_o and_o labour_n to_o find_v out_o as_o many_o of_o those_o sin_n as_o you_o know_v yourself_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o for_o you_o will_v find_v many_o sin_n there_o that_o you_o in_o your_o place_n can_v commit_v you_o may_v only_o take_v but_o one_o commandment_n or_o two_o at_o a_o time_n according_a as_o your_o memory_n will_v hold_v and_o if_o your_o memory_n can_v contain_v all_o the_o sin_n that_o you_o find_v yourself_o guilty_a of_o you_o may_v write_v they_o down_o according_a as_o you_o find_v they_o out_o which_o way_n i_o think_v to_o be_v the_o best_a and_o then_o every_o evening_n you_o may_v make_v use_n of_o this_o catalogue_n for_o the_o find_v out_o the_o sin_n that_o you_o commit_v in_o the_o day_n likewise_o every_o sabbath_n the_o sin_n you_o commit_v in_o the_o week_n likewise_o before_o you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v repent_v and_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o 2._o the_o second_o step_n to_o true_a repentance_n be_v the_o confession_n of_o those_o sin_n you_o have_v thus_o find_v out_o you_o must_v spread_v they_o all_o before_o the_o lord_n and_o confess_v they_o all_o in_o particular_a with_o all_o circumstance_n as_o the_o time_n when_o place_z where_o and_o manner_n how_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n be_v commit_v now_o many_o confess_v in_o general_a that_o they_o be_v sinner_n but_o few_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o if_o your_o sin_n be_v so_o innumerable_a that_o you_o can_v find_v out_o every_o particular_a sin_n so_o as_o to_o confess_v they_o all_o in_o particular_a then_o confess_v the_o rest_n in_o the_o general_a and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o god_n will_v take_v this_o for_o a_o true_a and_o sincere_a confession_n in_o that_o there_o be_v no_o know_a sin_n that_o you_o will_v willing_o hide_v from_o god_n 3._o another_o step_n to_o true_a repentance_n be_v godly_a sorrow_n for_o those_o sin_n thus_o confess_v and_o it_o be_v godly_a sorrow_n that_o work_v repentance_n to_o salvation_n never_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o now_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n you_o must_v use_v these_o mean_n 1._o lay_v to_o heart_n how_o good_a and_o how_o merciful_a god_n have_v be_v to_o you_o how_o many_o token_n of_o his_o love_n and_o kindness_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o you_o and_o yet_o how_o ill_o you_o have_v require_v he_o serious_o consider_v how_o he_o have_v

from_o such_o and_o such_o enemy_n that_o not_o withstand_v your_o many_o provocation_n yet_o he_o have_v bear_v with_o you_o all_o this_o while_n he_o have_v patience_n with_o you_o and_o waif_n for_o your_o repentance_n who_o may_v in_o justice_n have_v snatch_v you_o away_o whilst_o you_o be_v sin_v and_o send_v you_o quick_a to_o everlasting_a burn_n yet_o still_o he_o spare_v you_o yet_o he_o give_v you_o every_o day_n fresh_a supply_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o as_o before_o you_o be_v to_o make_v a_o catalogue_n of_o your_o sin_n so_o here_o make_v a_o catalogue_n of_o god_n mercy_n those_o several_a kind_n of_o mercy_n and_o favour_n you_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o and_o then_o lie_v to_o heart_n what_o a_o base_a unthankful_a wretch_n you_o have_v be_v thus_o to_o provoke_v

of_o those_o sin_n whereby_o you_o have_v most_o dishonour_v god_n and_o grieve_v his_o spirit_n this_o also_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o work_v in_o you_o godly_a sorrow_n 3._o ply_v the_o throne_n of_o grace_n by_o earnest_n and_o constant_a prayer_n that_o god_n may_v take_v away_o that_o stony_a heart_n of_o your_o flesh_n and_o give_v you_o a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n as_o he_o have_v promise_v
