Phile. 1Let it repent you, that ever you offended so loving a father, and s• gentle a Lord. Be heartily sorry fo• your misdoings. Lament and inwardly bewail your wretchednes•ses, which so wickedly have transgressed & broken the holy commandments of the Lord. For this ha•ty and unfeigned repentance is a goodly preparative to salvation▪ and without it none can be •aved Therefore John Baptist,2 Christ & his Apostles began their preaching of repentance.3 For whosoever is not brought into the knowledge of him self, he shall never have delight to come unto Christ▪ For such as think them selves whole, have no pleasure in a physician, but they that are sick.
