the_o act_n of_o our_o repentance_n must_v suit_n with_o the_o act_n of_o our_o sin_n this_o we_o find_v in_o the_o example_n of_o peter_n he_o sind_z great_o and_o he_o weep_v bitter_o he_o sin_v and_o he_o weep_v but_o there_o be_v a_o far_a proportion_n he_o sin_v great_o and_o he_o weep_v bitter_o paul_n be_v a_o persecuter_n but_o when_o he_o be_v convert_v he_o become_v a_o preacher_n there_o be_v a_o proportion_n but_o paul_n who_o be_v a_o bloody_a persecuter_n become_v a_o most_o painful_a preacher_n there_o be_v a_o far_a meetness_n we_o must_v thus_o be_v answerable_a in_o

because_o repentance_n have_v life_n a_o true_a perfect_a life_n now_o where_o be_v perfect_a life_n there_o be_v a_o work_n it_o shoot_v out_o fruit_n he_o that_o be_v a_o true_a penitent_a a_o
