Promises. 1. Of Turning from sinne.
Then thou shalt remember thy waies and be ashamed, Ezek. 16.61. Yee shall remember your waies and all your doings wherein yee have beene defiled, and you shall lothe your selves in your owne sight, for all your evills that yee have committed. Ezek. 20.43. the like is repeated 36.31. Vnto you hath GOD raised up his Sonne JESUS, and sent him to blesse you in turning away every one of you from his iniquities, Acts 3.26. GOD promiseth to the Gentiles in their conversion, Then will I change in the people their lip, that it may be pure (so Iunius reads it) with the which all may call up∣on the name of the LORD,* 1.1 that is, I will call them to repen∣tance: and then followes a pro∣mise of taking away the staine of sinne, In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy workes.

The remnant of Israel shall stay up∣on the LORD the holy one of Is∣rael in truth.* 1.2 The remnant shall returne, &c.
Then shall shee say, I will goe and returne to my first husband, for then was it better with mee then now, Hos. 2.7. They shall returne unto mee with their whole heart, Ier. 24 7.
