1The adversaries hereof, are first the Atheist, who denieth God himself, and consequently his judgement. Secondly the drowsy Protestants, who in judgement deny not the last judgement, but yet plainly show in their lives that they are not persuaded of it, for then would they make more conscience of sin, and of pleasing God in all thi•••.

The first ground of practise is,1 Luke 13.3. Except ye repent ye shall perish. In which two things are to be observed. First the duty required, that is, Repentance, the necessity of which appeareth, in that without it men perish. Secondly the adversaries. Concerning repentance two things must be taught: first, what it is: secondly, what is the use of it. For the first;2 Repentance (as Paul describeth it) is a conversion whereby a sinner turneth himself unto God, and bringeth forth fruits worthy amendment of life. There be two kinds of conversion of a sinner: first, that whereby God turneth man. Secondly, that whereby a man being turned by God, turneth himself by grace: the former is not repentance properly, but the latter.
