Sect. XXIII.

Thirdly, touching their repentance, my answer is True repentance for sin, is a turning from every sin, to the contrary good. In all true repentance is a change, both in the judgment from error to tru••h, and in the will from evill to good, and in the affections from loving evill, and hating good; to love good and hate evill; in the whole man from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God. Without which change, no repentance, no be∣ing saved: The two main and essentiall parts of repentance are contrition or humiliation, and conversion or reformation. It is not true repentance, except humiliation and reformation go both together: for either of these single make but a half, or halting repentance. An unreformed sorrow, is but deformed: and a sorrow less reformation, is but a very sorry one. Hu∣mitation without reformation, is a foundation without a building: and re∣formation without humiliation, is a building without a foundation. Judas was grieved for murthering Christ, yet no change followed: hee fell to murthering of himself. It is not possible a man should truly grieve, and bee displeased for his sins; and yet continue in them without •• change.
