True repentance or conversion is a change or renewing of man wrought by the holy GHOST,1 whereby man upon true acknowledgement of GOD and his will (revealed in the Law and the Gospel) and his own corruption, doth seriously fear GODS anger and judgement against sin: and is sorry that by his sins he ⟨p. 250⟩hath heretofore and doth still offend God: and yet obeying the commandment of faith in Christ and amendment of life, resteth secure upon the mercy of God,2 and his promise of grace by confidence in our mediator Christ: through whom, because he is persuaded that God is pleased, he submitteth himself unto him, as a son to a loving father: and for this his receiving him into favour studieth to show himself thankful unto God for ever.3 Eph. 4. 21. If so be ye have heard him & have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus, That is that ye cast of concerning the conversation in times past the old man, which is corrupt through deceivable lusts. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Tit. 3. 5. He saved us by the washing of the new birth, and the renewing of the holy Ghost. Rom. 7. 18. I know that in me, that is in my flesh, there dwelleth no goodness, &c.: to the end of the chapter. Isay 5. 16. wash and be clean.
