How
we
m
beg,
tred
that
oar
repentance is vnfained.
wee
finde
by
the
preaching
of
the Gofpell,
that
our
gra-
tious
God
hath
font
his fonr
c
into
the
world;
to the
end
that
he
might flue
and deliuer
vs
out
of
this miferable
efiate,if
we
beleeue
in
him,
and
alto
hath
commanded
vs
to
.
beleeue.
Which
being
made
effe
&call
by
the
inward operation
of
Gods
holie ípirit,we
haue
true faith
begot
in vs,whereby
We
are allured
of
Gods
mercie in Iefus Chrif},
and
ofthefüll
remiffionofall
our finnes; the
confideratron
whereof
cloth
comfort
.
and
.
raife
vs
vp
from falling
into
defperation
and
vtter
del}ru6tion.
Seuenthlie,after
this aflurance
of
Gods
loue,and
ofthe
forgiueneffe
of
our
tinnes,
there followeth
firfl
a
true
hatred
of
finne,
becaufe
it
is
finne,
and
vnfained
forrow, not
fo
much
in
regard
of
thepunifhment,which by
ourfinnes
wee haue
iuf
}lie
deferued,
as
that
becaufe
we
haue
offended
our
fo
gratious
a
God
and tender
louing father.
Secondly,this forrow
will
not
fuffer
vs
to hide,
excufe,
or
ex-
tenuate our finnes,but
tnoueth
vs
in
all
humilitie
to
profirate
our
felues
before
Gods
mercie feate, and
in
griefe
offoule
to
confeffe
them, acknowledging
that
confufion
and condem-
nation
is
due
vnto
vs,
which by no
meanes wee can
efcape
but
by
,Gods
mercie, and
the
merits and righteoufneffe
of
lefus
Chrift.
Thirdlie, being
aflüred
of
the pardon
of
our
fi
ones
wee labour and
¡trine
for
the
time
to
come
to
legue
and for
-
fake
them,
and
to
mortifie the flefh and corruptions
there-
of;
whereby
we
are
led captiue.vnto finne, and alto
we
inde-
uour with
a
feruent..zeale
of
Gods
glorie
to
ferue
the
Lord
inholineffe
and righteoufiieflé,
that fo
by
our godlieliues
wee
may glorifie him and.expreffe
our
rhankfulnefle
for
all
his
eneff
unable
benefits.
Fourthlie,
ifat
any
time betides or
contrarie to our purpofe,we
be
ouertakenby
our corruption,
and
fall
into
fine,
there followeth
in
vs
an
holie anger and
indignation
with
our
felues, becaufe
wee
did
not
more
care
-
fullie look
e
to our waies; which
.godlie
anger proceedeth
to
the taking
ola
holy kind
ofreuenge, to
the end
that
there-
by our
fumes may
bee.
fubdued,and our corruptions
mortifi-
ed.
For
example,heethat
hath
offended
through gluttonie
find
drunkenneffe,being truly
penitent
and angrie with him-
felfe
