Secondly, it appeareth to be so, by his prayer to God afterward, vers. 28. whereby we understand, that he believed in him, (even as Jonah did the like 1in the Whales belly.) For as the Apostle saith; How can we call upon him, in whom we believe not? And if he believed, then he also repented: for faith and repentance cannot be separated. The third proof of his repentance, is, that he was a Nazarite of Gods own ordinance, and therefore the elect of God, and one that must of necessity return again after his fall, or else he could not have been one of the Lords, as it is certain he was, being a Nazarite. The fourth is, the testimony that is given of him in the Epistle to the Hebrews, where he is reckoned among them who lived, and died in 2faith. And now that it is proved that he repented, let us make our benefit of that his example.
