Vnderstanding novve by these fevve former speeches vvhat true repentance is; * Let vs, (according to the counsell which* 1.1 the Prophet Ieremie giueth,) search & try our wayes, and turne againe vnto the Lord. Let vs lift vp our harts with our hands vn∣to God in the heauens.
Yea, let vs, (as Erasmus willeth,) returne* 1.2 againe vnto the Lord our God, with hartie sorrow, and true repentance; humbly con∣fessing before him, the faultes which vvee haue committed; and earnestly desiring of him, that hee vvill alvvaies heereafter, so strengthen vs with his grace, that wee may daily more & more, dutifully becom obe∣dient to his holy will, & euer study to please him, our whole life time following.
For, if we acknowledge our sinnes, God* 1.3 is faithfull and iust, to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.
