1 THE school Sophisters err greatly in the definition of repentance, saying,1 that to repent is to lament the sins which are past, & not to commit such things as they may lament.2 They err also when they divide it into the contrition of the heart, the confession of the mouth, and satisfaction of the work: for a man may be truly penitent without the confession of the mouth.
