repentance_n may_v goefarre_o 1._o if_o we_o consider_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o 2._o if_o we_o consider_v the_o concommitant_n first_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o substance_n it_o may_v go_v far_o for_o 1._o he_o may_v serious_o consider_v his_o way_n 2._o he_o may_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n for_o his_o sin_n 3._o he_o may_v sue_v for_o pardon_n for_o his_o sin_n as_o do_v many_o hypocrite_n 4._o he_o may_v desire_v faith_n and_o repentance_n as_o francis_n spira_n do_v but_o here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a desire_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n first_o from_o a_o self-love_n not_o out_o of_o a_o love_n to_o the_o grace_n but_o fear_v of_o hell_n and_o this_o may_v be_v in_o false_a repentance_n second_o from_o a_o love_n to_o the_o grace_n have_v sensible_o taste_v they_o this_o desire_n be_v grace_n 5._o there_o may_v be_v a_o amendment_n for_o a_o time_n as_o do_v saul_n and_o pharaoh_n 6._o he_o may_v come_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o if_o the_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v commit_v again_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o for_o all_o the_o world_n as_o judas_n second_o true_a repentance_n and_o false_a be_v very_o like_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o concomitant_n 1._o this_o false_a repentance_n may_v cause_v a_o remorse_n yea_o it_o may_v bring_v forth_o tear_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o saul_n 1_o sam._n 24._o 17._o he_o lift_v up_o his_o voice_n and_o weep_v 2._o this_o false_a repentance_n may_v cause_v confession_n free_o and_o full_o as_o do_v pharaoh_n exod._n 9_o 27._o take_a shame_n to_o himself_o and_o ascribe_v glory_n to_o god_n thus_o do_v saul_n 1_o sam._n 26._o 21._o he_o confess_v that_o he_o have_v sin_v exceed_o so_o that_o one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o it_o have_v be_v true_a 3._o it_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o fast_o and_o pray_v for_o pardon_n as_o do_v ahab_n 1_o king_n 21._o 27._o but_o it_o be_v not_o in_o truth_n but_o only_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o misery_n 4._o they_o may_v come_v to_o restitution_n as_o judas_n do_v 5._o they_o may_v bring_v forth_o some_o fruit_n of_o amendment_n of_o life_n so_o that_o very_o far_o this_o false_a repentance_n may_v go_v as_o the_o second_o and_o three_o ground_n and_o now_o behold_v true_a repentance_n in_o substance_n and_o concomitant_n what_o can_v you_o find_v more_o in_o it_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o be_v deceive_v with_o false_a repentance_n which_o be_v so_o like_o the_o true_a but_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o touchstone_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o broad_a difference_n between_o they_o as_o after_o you_o shall_v see_v now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o point_n be_v take_v from_o the_o false_a ground_n from_o whence_o repentance_n come_v which_o be_v these_o 1._o it_o come_v from_o self-love_n when_o sin_n prove_v hurtful_a and_o the_o hurt_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n than_o it_o may_v work_v but_o all_o out_o of_o self-love_n a_o hypocrite_n when_o he_o find_v fire_n in_o the_o sin_n he_o throw_v it_o away_o but_o when_o once_o the_o fire_n be_v out_o of_o the_o coal_n he_o will_v play_v with_o it_o and_o fool_n himself_o he_o fear_v only_o the_o fire_n not_o the_o foulness_n of_o sin_n he_o hate_v the_o sting_n not_o the_o sin_n 2._o this_o repentance_n come_v from_o the_o common_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o a_o carnal_a man_n may_v have_v as_o first_o he_o may_v disapprove_v the_o foulness_n of_o sin_n second_o he_o may_v hate_v the_o ugliness_n thereof_o but_o here_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v extinguish_v in_o some_o more_o than_o in_o other_o as_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o it_o be_v rife_o in_o judas_n when_o sin_n right_o be_v propound_v to_o we_o far_o we_o may_v go_v in_o false_a repentance_n three_o their_o repentance_n come_v from_o the_o beauty_n sweetness_n and_o excellency_n a_o carnal_a man_n may_v find_v in_o god_n way_n which_o may_v make_v he_o amend_v and_o turn_v unto_o god_n for_o a_o while_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o john_n baptist_n they_o confess_v and_o turn_v to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o while_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v a_o burn_a and_o a_o shine_a light_n and_o they_o rejoice_v in_o his_o light_n so_o the_o second_o ground_n find_v a_o sweetness_n in_o the_o word_n and_o left_a all_o but_o yet_o return_v as_o 2_o pet._n 2._o latter_a end_n some_o in_o the_o excellency_n of_o preach_v may_v see_v a_o sweetness_n and_o rejoice_v a_o while_n but_o yet_o return_v again_o to_o their_o sin_n four_o their_o repentance_n may_v arise_v from_o a_o good_a family_n company_n or_o ministry_n thus_o joash_n 2_o chro._n 24._o good_a while_o jehojada_n live_v which_o seem_v to_o be_v thirty_o year_n so_o vzzia_n 2_o chro._n 26_o be_v good_a all_o the_o day_n of_o zacharia_n so_o many_o be_v good_a while_o they_o be_v under_o careful_a governor_n and_o in_o good_a company_n so_o long_o as_o good_a mean_n last_o they_o will_v be_v good_a i_o can_v compare_v such_o man_n better_o than_o to_o the_o swine_n which_o while_o they_o be_v in_o fair_a meadow_n keep_v themselves_o clean_o which_o be_v no_o thank_n to_o they_o but_o the_o place_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o come_v to_o the_o mire_n they_o tumble_v in_o it_o so_o will_v these_o man_n so_o soon_o as_o opportunity_n be_v give_v they_o 2._o so_o likewise_o confession_n may_v arise_v from_o false_a ground_n first_o from_o passion_n be_v in_o good_a mood_n they_o confess_v sometime_o not_o otherways_o but_o sound_a humiliation_n as_o a_o spring_n make_v we_o always_o ready_a to_o confess_v second_o from_o some_o evident_a discovery_n of_o his_o sin_n when_o the_o light_n shine_v so_o in_o his_o eye_n that_o he_o can_v but_o confess_v as_o saul_n when_o he_o evident_o see_v david_n kindness_n can_v not_o but_o confess_v three_o from_o some_o extort_n cause_n as_o here_o do_v judas_n when_o god_n and_o his_o conscience_n press_v he_o to_o it_o so_o do_v pharaoh_n when_o he_o be_v under_o the_o rack_n three_o restitution_n may_v also_o arise_v from_o false_a ground_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o restitution_n of_o judas_n and_o zacheus_n judas_n be_v sick_a and_o oppress_v with_o his_o silver_n piece_n as_o a_o man_n of_o meat_n in_o his_o stomach_n therefore_o no_o wonder_n though_o he_o will_v be_v rid_v thereof_o but_o zacheus_n do_v it_o most_o willing_o and_o free_o this_o show_v unto_o we_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o popish_a 1_o doctrine_n which_o make_v but_o three_o part_n of_o repentance_n confession_n contrition_n satisfaction_n all_o these_o have_v judas_n yet_o who_o can_v say_v he_o true_o repent_v one_o may_v do_v all_o that_o they_o say_v yet_o be_v damn_v let_v man_n than_o look_v to_o themselves_o that_o have_v not_o 2._o go_v as_o far_o as_o judas_n namely_o have_v not_o repent_v confess_v and_o restore_v for_o though_o these_o be_v in_o false_a repentance_n yet_o be_v they_o in_o true_a also_o only_o in_o false_a there_o be_v these_o only_a in_o true_a there_o be_v these_o and_o more_o also_o for_o as_o the_o guilt_n in_o counterfeit_a gold_n which_o make_v it_o like_o the_o true_a be_v good_a so_o the_o fault_n be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o throughout_o such_o as_o the_o outside_n be_v so_o these_o thing_n in_o false_a repentance_n be_v good_a the_o fault_n be_v that_o their_o ground_n be_v not_o good_a also_o and_o again_o they_o which_o have_v go_v as_o far_o as_o judas_n and_o seem_v to_o have_v repent_v let_v they_o try_v themselves_o and_o take_v heed_n they_o be_v not_o deceive_v now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o hinder_v we_o from_o judge_v aright_o of_o our_o estate_n 1._o unwillingness_n to_o search_v 2._o unability_n to_o judge_n first_o

christ_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christian_n have_v this_o kind_n of_o sorrow_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o great_a turbulent_a sorrow_n that_o break_v the_o heart_n answ._n and_o mollify_v and_o soften_v it_o but_o there_o be_v another_o sorrow_n which_o i_o call_v a_o temper_a sorrow_n and_o that_o sorrow_n have_v in_o it_o both_o a_o sight_n of_o hell_n and_o a_o sight_n of_o heaven_n a_o sight_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o sight_n of_o grace_n in_o christ_n which_o far_o exceed_v this_o sorrow_n for_o as_o it_o be_v with_o joy_n the_o great_a joy_n be_v not_o express_v by_o laughter_n for_o that_o be_v the_o great_a joy_n that_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o the_o inward_a man_n so_o it_o be_v not_o the_o great_a grief_n that_o be_v express_v by_o tear_n and_o as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o great_a fire_n that_o make_v the_o most_o crackle_v and_o noise_n nor_o that_o the_o deep_a water_n that_o make_v the_o most_o roar_a so_o be_v it_o not_o the_o great_a grief_n or_o sorrow_n that_o express_v itself_o by_o this_o turbulent_a passion_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o the_o great_a grief_n be_v nothing_o when_o a_o sinner_n apprehend_v sin_n within_o and_o see_v it_o in_o its_o own_o colour_n than_o it_o humble_v he_o second_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v degree_n of_o this_o sorrow_n and_o this_o arise_v from_o the_o nature_n answ._n of_o man_n some_o man_n be_v of_o a_o more_o hardy_a nature_n than_o other_o and_o again_o some_o be_v of_o a_o more_o soft_a and_o tender_a disposition_n for_o example_n some_o man_n flesh_n will_v heal_v soon_o than_o other_o though_o the_o wound_n be_v the_o same_o so_o some_o have_v more_o soft_a and_o gentle_a nature_n and_o therefore_o soon_o wrought_v upon_o again_o some_o god_n intend_v to_o build_v a_o great_a work_n upon_o and_o therefore_o he_o humble_v they_o the_o more_o again_o some_o he_o will_v season_v above_o other_o and_o therefore_o will_v humble_v they_o the_o more_o that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v fit_a for_o it_o three_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o all_o answ._n have_v not_o the_o like_a measure_n of_o sorrow_n neither_o the_o same_o apprehension_n of_o sin_n that_o other_o have_v &_o therefore_o be_v not_o so_o much_o cast_v down_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o other_o be_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o humble_a at_o all_o but_o because_o the_o condition_n follow_v it_o so_o close_o that_o it_o have_v not_o power_n to_o work_v that_o effect_n in_o they_o which_o it_o do_v in_o other_o that_o see_v the_o same_o condition_n a_o far_o off_o or_o not_o at_o all_o they_o apprehend_v christ_n by_o faith_n and_o see_v reconciliation_n through_o he_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o so_o deject_a as_o other_o that_o see_v he_o not_o thus_o and_o therefore_o be_v not_o discourage_v though_o thou_o find_v that_o thy_o humiliation_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o other_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o apprehension_n the_o same_o but_o christ_n the_o condition_n of_o thy_o peace_n be_v apprehend_v near_o thou_o by_o faith_n and_o this_o qualify_v the_o tempest_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o christ_n be_v not_o see_v of_o the_o other_o as_o a_o saviour_n and_o this_o make_v the_o difference_n as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v two_o man_n set_v upon_o by_o robber_n the_o one_o see_v no_o help_n or_o no_o way_n to_o escape_v and_o hereupon_o he_o be_v marvellous_o afflict_a and_o astonish_v because_o he_o find_v himfelfe_n unable_a to_o resist_v or_o make_v his_o party_n good_a with_o they_o but_o the_o other_o man_n beset_v with_o robber_n see_v another_o near_a hand_n that_o will_v stand_v close_o to_o he_o and_o thereupon_o he_o trust_v hope_n and_o depend_v upon_o the_o man_n to_o help_v he_o this_o man_n see_v the_o danger_n aswell_o as_o the_o other_o and_o fear_n but_o his_o fear_n be_v not_o a_o distract_a fear_n neither_o be_v it_o so_o great_a as_o the_o other_o because_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o joy_n and_o confidence_n in_o that_o he_o see_v a_o way_n to_o escape_v yet_o he_o fear_v the_o same_o that_o the_o other_o fear_n and_o be_v true_o humble_v and_o thankful_a unto_o he_o that_o save_v he_o from_o the_o danger_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o many_o christian_n they_o that_o have_v a_o turbulent_a kind_n of_o sorrow_n see_v death_n and_o hell_n and_o sin_n and_o damnation_n but_o he_o see_v christ_n so_o far_o off_o that_o he_o can_v depend_v upon_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n and_o hence_o for_o the_o present_a be_v marvellous_o cast_v down_o but_o he_o that_o have_v the_o mix_a sorrow_n speak_v of_o see_v the_o same_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n but_o withal_o he_o apprehend_v christ_n as_o a_o helper_n as_o a_o saviour_n and_o here_o upon_o be_v not_o so_o much_o deject_v and_o cast_v do_v wne_z as_o the_o other_z and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o be_v as_o true_o humble_v and_o thankful_a as_o the_o other_o therefore_o labour_v to_o get_v a_o heart_n sensible_a of_o sin_n that_o be_v labour_v to_o know_v sin_n and_o the_o evil_a of_o it_o and_o withal_o labour_v to_o see_v christ_n or_o else_o you_o will_v be_v
