Now, that this legal sorrow may be wrought, it is fit to use some choice parcel of the law, which may reprove some one notable sin in men that are not as yet humbled.

Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. Act. 2. 23.
