But all these Acts of Repentance Souls in Heaven have. 1. They know more of their sins both as to the matter and evil, then ever they did on Earth. 2. They own their Culpability, that is, that they are the Souls that committed these sins, and deserved Death and Hell for them. 3. They know the goodness of all the ways that are contrary to their sin. 4. They love all that good, and hate all their sin more than they did here. 5. They wish they had never committed them. 6. If it were to do again, they would not do it.
This is proper true Repentance: Either you deny the Things, or but the Name. If the Thing, which of these deny you.
1. If Saints in Heaven know not sin better then they did here, Heaven is to them as dark as Earth.
2. If they know not that they themselves were the Subjects, and Actors of these sins, they are ignorant, or erroneous.
