Well remember this, real confession of sin is always attended with real endeavours of turning from sin. Look, as the Patient lays open his diseases to the Physician for this very purpose, that he may be cured and healed; so the penitent soul confesses his sins to the Physician of souls on purpose to be cured and healed. The daily language of the penitent soul is this; Lord, when wilt thou heal the maladies of my soul? when wilt thou heal my unbelief, and heal my pride, and heal my vain glory, and heal my hypocrisy, and heal my impurity, and heal my hard heartedness, and heal my carnalness, and heal my worldliness, and heal my selfishness? &c.

Four things speak out this, &c.
