CHAP. VII. Of the practise of Repentance.
IN the practise of Repentance four special duties are required. The first is a diligent and serious examination of the conscience by the laws and commandments of God, for all manner of sins both original and actual. ⟨p. 744⟩Example of the children of Israel.1 Wherefore is the living man sorrowful? man suffereth for his sin: let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. Of David, I considered my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies.
