Hence also we may know, whether we have truly repented: It is a sign of true mortification, when 1.1 A man hath seriously condemned himself before God for his sin. 2. When he feels the wonted violence of affections after sin, and the world to be deadened, and his hart grown dull, and out of taste in matters of sin and the world: He is crucified, that hath his lusts and affections crucified, Gal. 5.24. 3. That he is aweary of life it self, by reason of the remainders of sin in his flesh, Rom. 7. 4. That hath felt as sensible sorrows for his sins, as he was wont to do for his crosses: sorrows, I say, that are voluntary, and for sin as it is sin.
