REpentance is so necessa∣ry to the constituting of Good Conscience, that till sinne bee remooued, and newnesse of life begunne, the Soule can neyther bee Purified, nor Pacified. Ther∣fore is King SALOMONS Spouse intreted to forget her
Fathers House; Grande mi∣raculum (saith Saint Ierome) P••ter filiam cohortatur, ne me∣minerit Patris sai; A strange miracle, the Father exhorts the Daughter, not to remem¦ber her Father. And lest that moytie of Repentance might seeme sufficient, it presently followeth, that the Kings Daughter is all glo∣rious within, that is▪ inriched & beautified with alspiritu∣all graces. For when a man hath once attayned to the practice of holy Duties; his Conscience, which before lookt sterne vpon him, be∣ginnes to smile, and amia∣bly to conuerse with him. Therefore the saying of Saint Bernard is excellent:
Psal. 45. 10.
Ad Eusto. De Cust. Virg.
Psal. 45. 13.
De Interior. Domo. ••ap. 45.
