Counterfeit repentance is either Ceremoniall or Desperate.
Ceremonial, when men repent in outward show, but not in the truth of heart. As Saul. Then said Saul to Samuel, I have sinned: for I 1have transgressed the commandments of the Lord, & thy words: because I feared the people & obeyed their voice. Now therefore I pray thee take away my sin, & turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord &c. Again, I have sinned, but honour me I pray thee before the elders of my people. Of Ahab. When Ahab heard these words •e rent his clothes and put on sackcloth, 2& fasted, & went softly. And the word of the Lord came to Elijah saying, seest thou how Ahab is humbled before me.
