[This turning to G•d, or this Repentance, does lie in a confession of Sin, and ⟨p. 91⟩in a resolution of serving God, that is, of forsaking Sin. The Parable of the Prodigal, in Luke 15.17, &c. speaks forth this. Add Prov. 28.13. He that covereth his Sins shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have Mercy. See Hos. 14.1, 2, 3. Sometimes the whole is set forth by one of these. Thus it is by this confession and acknowledgement of sins, 1 John 1.9. Psal. 32.5. & 5.3. Jer. 3.13. Thus also by this resolution of serving God. Jer. 5.24. & 30.21. 2 Chron. 11.16.
