AS concerning the repentance and pen nance which is required of every christian, the holy Scripture understandeth not thereby, that which improperly the Papists call penance. For they through great abuse and ignorance of the language, do call penance, their satisfactions, by the which they think to satisfy God, by their own works, and by their Ceremonies and superstitions. But the word of God taketh penance and repentance, for a true acknowledging and sorrow for sin, the which true acknowledging and true displeasure do proceed of the true fear of God, and of a true reverence and love towards him, conjoined with a certain assurance of his goodness and mercy, and with a true amendment of life, by the which a christian man doth dedicate him self to the service of God, as in time before he was dedicated to the service of the Devil, to the end he may serve to justice and holiness, where before he served sin & iniquity.¹ For in this lieth the sanctification of man, the which sanctification is the very fruit of true faith, which worketh thorough charity, as she is the ⟨p. 47⟩original of every good work.

But the worde of God taketh pennance and repentance, for a true acknowledging and sorowe for sinne, the which true acknowledging and true displeasure do procéede of the true feare of God, and of a true reuerence and loue towardes him, conioyned with a certayne assurance of his goodnesse and mercie, and with a true amendmente of life, by the whiche a christian man doth dedicate him selfe to the seruice of God, as in time before he was dedicated to the seruice of the Deuill, to the end he may serue to iustice and holynesse, where before he serued sinne & iniquitie.
