therefore_o there_o need_v nothing_o else_o to_o signify_v the_o wash_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n christ_n be_v propose_v as_o a_o nourishment_n feed_v we_o and_o uphold_v we_o in_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o because_o bread_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o sustain_v the_o bodily_a life_n without_o wine_n nor_o wine_n without_o bread_n therefore_o two_o sign_n be_v appoint_v to_o show_v that_o we_o have_v our_o whole_a nourishment_n by_o christ._n qu._n what_o resemblance_n be_v there_o between_o the_o wine_n and_o christ_n blood_n

forsake_v not_o his_o sin_n but_o his_o sin_n forsake_v he_o object_n hereunto_o be_v object_v by_o the_o delayer_n of_o repentance_n that_o the_o good_a thief_n on_o the_o cross_n his_o repentance_n

and_o be_v suspect_v as_o for_o the_o good_a thief_n consider_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o this_o be_v a_o rare_a example_n the_o like_v not_o in_o all_o the_o bible_n again_o second_o his_o repentance_n be_v accompany_v with_o so_o many_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o that_o disgraceful_a extremity_n that_o few_o who_o have_v so_o live_v attain_v unto_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n especial_o such_o who_o have_v hard_a heart_n and_o all_o their_o life-time_n put_v it_o off_o until_o that_o time_n but_o we_o must_v not_o presume_v upon_o the_o like_a because_o the_o secret_a of_o god_n acceptation_n be_v coeliarcanum_n a_o divine_a secret_n and_o not_o within_o our_o reach_n repentance_n second_o constrain_v repentance_n when_o one_o do_v repent_v but_o in_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n or_o in_o some_o great_a sickness_n affliction_n or_o when_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o he_o as_o be_v see_v in_o pharaoh_n exod._n 8._o 15._o of_o who_o it_o be_v write_v but_o when_o pharaoh_n see_v that_o there_o be_v respite_n he_o harden_v his_o heart_n and_o hearken_v not_o unto_o they_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v so_o also_o numb_a 16._o 34._o when_o the_o

shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o after_o this_o judgement_n they_o do_v murmur_n against_o god_n and_o against_o moses_n so_o there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n among_o we_o that_o never_o think_v of_o repentance_n but_o when_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n lie_v heavy_a upon_o they_o as_o it_o be_v psal._n 78._o 34._o 35._o when_o he_o slay_v they_o then_o they_o seek_v he_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o hardness_n of_o our_o heart_n from_o we_o and_o give_v we_o a_o melt_a relent_a heart_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n to_o over-rule_v our_o corruption_n first_o let_v we_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o we_o may_v repent_v of_o our_o sin_n with_o inward_a sorrow_n second_o that_o we_o may_v be_v grieve_v for_o our_o sin_n rather_o than_o the_o punishment_n of_o they_o three_o that_o we_o may_v repent_v with_o resolution_n to_o sin_n no_o more_o and_o last_o that_o we_o may_v repent_v of_o all_o our_o sin_n those_o most_o predominant_a as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n which_o we_o seem_v to_o hate_v and_o abhor_v lect_n xiiii_o of_o the_o increase_n of_o repentance_n 2._o pet._n 3._o

the_o contrary_n to_o repentance_n which_o be_v two_o impenitency_n and_o unsound_a repentance_n now_o it_o remain_v in_o the_o next_o and_o last_o place_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o increase_n of_o repentance_n how_o a_o christian_n as_o he_o increase_v in_o other_o grace_n of_o god_n so_o also_o must_v grow_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o repentance_n wherein_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v declare_v 1._o that_o no_o man_n repentance_n be_v perfect_a in_o this_o life_n 2._o because_o our_o repentance_n be_v imperfect_a in_o this_o life_n therefore_o as_o we_o increase_v in_o other_o grace_n of_o god_n so_o must_v we_o grow_v in_o this_o also_o now_o if_o no_o man_n repentance_n be_v perfect_a in_o this_o life_n than_o no_o man_n live_a can_v perfect_o repent_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o have_v repent_v he_o have_v need_v to_o turn_v again_o and_o to_o pray_v god_n to_o forgive_v the_o imperfection_n of_o it_o yet_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v deceive_v in_o this_o we_o must_v know_v that_o two_o way_n repentance_n be_v say_v to_o be_v imperfect_a 1._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o repentance_n 2._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o

have_v true_o repent_v but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o degree_n and_o the_o measure_n of_o it_o it_o do_v not_o want_v any_o part_n of_o true_a repentance_n but_o only_o want_v the_o

i_o say_v it_o want_v the_o perfection_n of_o those_o part_n be_v not_o imperfect_a in_o nature_n but_o in_o measure_n and_o degree_n now_o that_o every_o man_n repentance_n be_v imperfect_a in_o
