To this I shall speak more particularly, when I handle the Doctrine of Justification before Faith. As for the Assertion it self, it is plain by all those places of Scripture, which make repentance requisite to pardon, Ezek. 14.6. Ezek. 18.30. Mat. 3.2. Luk. 13.3. The learned Dr Twice, Vind. grat. p. 18. confesseth, that there are Arguments on both sides in the Scripture: Sometimes he saith, Pardon of sin is subjoined to confession and repentance, of which sort he confesseth there are more frequent and express places; but yet sometimes remission of sin already obtained, is made an argument to move to repentance, and he instanceth in David and Mary Magdalen, who did abundantly and plentifully break out into tears, upon the sense of pardon. But these instances are not to the purpose, for David repented of his wicked▪ness before Nathan told him, That his sin was taken away; and his penitential Psalm was not made so much for the first pardon of his sin, as the confirming and assuring of him in his pardon. Thus it was also with Mary Magdalen. But more of this in time.
