thy mouth more because of thy shame, when I am pacified towards thee.So then both these kindes of Humiliations are to be owned and practised; and therefore it is a false and dangerous error to acknowledge no other kinde of Repentance then the later: The Papists will not acknowledge this later Humiliation at all, be∣cause they deny all Faith and Assurance that a believer may have of his sins in particular: And others, that there is only this later, and therefore the fore-mentioned Author, in his Treatise of Go∣spel-repentance, makes this only Gospel-repentance: but as Go∣spel-faith is not that reflect act of the soul in a man, whereby it is perswaded that Christ is his, but a direct act of taking and re∣ceiving Christ to be ours: so a Gospel-repentance is not that mainly whereby we are humbled, because we receive Gods love to us in pardoning, but principally in that loathing of our selves to obtan pardon: It is therefore great ignorance in that Au∣thor, in his Treatise of Gospel-repentance, when pag. 58. he cals Repentance that goeth before this Faith, viz. that my sins are pardoned, a dead work; as if the Faith that justifieth, and with∣out which it is impossible to please God, were the believing that my sins are pardoned; whereas the Scripture makes it to be, the receiving of Christ, and laying hold on him: and seeing that the object must in order of nature be before the act that is im∣ployed about it, it followeth infallibly, that I must have Justi∣fication, before I can believe I have it: Repentance therefore may be thought to go before a two-fold act of Faith; First, That whereby Christ is laid hold upon and made ours, and so the Re∣pentance that precedeth this, may be called legal and slavish.

And that assurance of apprehension of pardon, doth not beget security, but rather increase godliness, will appear several wayes.And first thus: Those places which speak of Gods gracious 0
