Well, yet hear the Physician of souls speaks to thee from Heaven. Weep on, bleed on, this bleeding shall not be unto death. Jesus Christ hath a Balsam, that shall not only stanch thy bleeding, but fill the veins of thy soul with comfort. His blood is an Antidote for thine. One drop of that shall satisfy for more sins, then ever thou hast committed.

Weep on for thy Transgressions: Those floods of tears shall not drown thee. Yea rather, like the waters of that universal Deluge, in that saving Ark Christ Jesus, they shall bear up thy soul higher towards Heaven. They shall not drown thee, yea they shall rather save thee from being drowned. This is that Secunda Tabula, after shipwreck; the main plank that shall preserve thee from perishing, emergent repentance.

There be two most Valiant and Puissant soldiers, that are the Souls Champions, Faith and Repentance. They fight not only against lust and sin, those Giants of the world: but even against Principalities and Powers, those infernal spirits of darkness. Faith hath her weapons and Forces, but Repentance hath many disadvantages.
