CHAP. V.
SECT. I. The Use of Exhortation.
Having disclosed and lamented our miscarriages and neglects, our duty for the future lies plain before us. God forbid that we should now go on in the sin that we have confessed, as carelessly as we did before. Then would that exclamation of Salvian fall upon us, de Gubern. l. 3. p. 87. Novum siquidem monstri genus est; cadem pene omnes jugiter faciunt, quae fecisse plangunt. Et qui intra•t Ecclefiasticam domum, ut mala antiqua defleant, exeunt; & quid dico exeunt? in ipsis pene hoc orationibus suis ac supplicationibus moliuntur; Aliud quippe or a hominum, aliud corda agunt: Et dum verbis praeterita mala plangunt, sensu sutura meditantur: ac fi oratio eorum rixa est magis criminum quam exoratrix; ut vere illa in eis Scripturae maledictio compleatur, ut de oratione ⟨p. 248⟩ipsa exeunt condemnati, & oratio eorum fiat in peccalum.
