11. For impenitency, It cannot be denied but that many, yea most, are so settled on their sins, as they hate to be reformed. 1Where are true fruits of repentance to be found? Where shame, where sorrow for sin? Where turning from sin? Men rather grow worse and worse. Gods judgments harden their 2hearts, as they did the heart of Pharaoh. But he paid thoroughly for abuse of so much patience. If by any occasion their consciences be any whit rubbed, and they brought through fear and anguish to promise amendment, they quickly show that no ⟨p. 82⟩true repentance was wrought in them: But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his 3own vomit again: and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
