The first difference is in the object: the object of worldly sorrow, is the punishment of sin, 1the wrath of God, he looks upon these without any relation to Christ: but the object of godly sorrow is sin, as it stands in opposition with the love of God towards him in Christ, and howsoever a regenerate man looks upon the punishment, yet in a different degree, not so much because he fears punishment as that he should give his father such cause, to take such displeasure against him: but it is sin that he principally looks upon. viz. that he hath displeased so good, so gracious a Father as God hath been unto him, and this is that which works humiliation in him: but the other sees the wrath of God, and hell, death, and that final separation between him, and happiness, and hereupon for fear of punishment he is humbled: Thus you see the difference in the objects.
