Hom. XX. Of Repentance. Which is a returning again of the whole man unto God, from whom we be fallen away by sin. — We must return from those things whereby we have been withdrawn, plucked, and led away from God. —Unto whom alone we must return,—not to the creatures, or the inventions of men, or our own mercies, —by Jesus Christ,—who hath made satisfaction to the Justice of God,—with our whole heart,—forsaking all that is contrary to Gods will,—out of a sincere love of godliness,—a purpose of our selves by Gods grace to renounce our former wicked life; and a full conversion to God in a new life to glorify his name, &c. We must beware and take heed, that we do in no wise think in our hearts, imagine or believe, that we are able to repent aright, or turn effectually unto the Lord, by our own might and strength, for this must be verified in all men, Without me ye can do nothing, Joh. 15.5. Again, of our selves we are not able as much as to think a good thought, 2 Cor. 3.5.
