IV. To stir up repentance in us, God useth ordinarily the word of the law and the gospel: and therefore the hearing of both is most necessary in the church.

IV. To stirre vp repentance in vs, God vseth ordinarily the word of the law and the gospell: and therefore the hearing of both is most necessarie in the church.

:468p. 144

God accustometh, for the stirring up of repentance in us, to use ordinarily aswell the declaration of his law, which discovereth our sins, and layeth open gods wrath: as also the preaching of the gospel: which showeth remission of sins, & favour of god in Christ: even as it manifestly appeareth to every godly man, which readeth the holy scriptures. And therefore we judge the declaration and hearing of them both to be very needful in the church.

God accustometh, for the stirring vp of repentance in vs, to vse ordinarily aswell the declaration of his lawe, which discouereth our sinnes, and laieth open gods wrath: as also the preaching of the gospel: which sheweth remissiō of sinnes, & fauour of god in Christ: euē as it manifestly appeareth to euerie godly man, which readeth the holie scriptures. And therfore wee iudge the declaration and hearing of them both to bee verie needefull in the church.
