whereas_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v say_v to_o cause_n repentance_n and_o so_o seem_v to_o be_v not_o par_fw-fr thereof_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o repentance_n be_v there_o more_o strict_o take_v for_o the_o forsake_v of_o sin_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o description_n of_o it_o following_z 7.11_o 2_o cor._n 7.11_o for_o behold_v this_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v be_v godly_a sorry_a

and_o thus_o we_o be_v come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v three_o call_v repentance_n the_o forsake_v of_o all_o sin_n and_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n and_o every_o one_o of_o these_o may_v well_o be_v

his_o sin_n be_v and_o confess_v they_o must_v needs_o have_v grief_n of_o heart_n therefore_o and_o he_o know_v that_o all_o this_o will_v little_o avail_v if_o with_o the_o dog_n he_o shall_v

sight_n of_o fearful_a judgement_n hang_v over_o their_o head_n cause_v this_o sorrow_n and_o confession_n in_o they_o whereas_o in_o such_o as_o be_v true_a penitent_n confession_n and_o sorrow_n arise_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o duty_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v and_o of_o the_o many_o bond_n of_o god_n favour_n towards_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o have_v do_v it_o
