II. What we meane by the name of repentance.

:464p. 143

By the name of repentance we understand two things especially; first, an earnest grief, & a true sorrow for our sins committed against God: and that not so much for the fear of punishment due to sin, as for that we have offended God himself, our chiefest good, yea our maker and loving father: and then, an unfeigned changing of our minds, hearts, wills and intents, and so of our whole life. For this part, which Christ calleth properly repentance, and the Prophets, a turning to God, ¹and the circumcision of the heart, the Apostle teacheth to come of the former, joining both parts together, where he saith, Godly sorrow causeth repentance unto salvation.

By the name of repentance we vnderstand two things especially; first, an earnest griefe, & a true sorrow for our sinnes cōmitted against God: and that not so much for the feare of punishment due to sinne, as for that we haue offended God himselfe, our chiefest good, yea our maker and louing father: and then, an vnfained chaunging of our mindes, hearts, wills and intents, and so of our whole life. For this part, which Christ calleth properly repentance, and the Prophets, a turning to God, ¹and the circumcision of the heart, the Apostle teacheth to come of the former, ioyning both partes together, where he saith, Godly sorrowe causeth repentance vnto saluation.
