Q. When is Confession in Repentance such as it ought to be?
A. This Confession is then such as it ought to be, when in confessing we are humbled, abhorring and condemning our selves for our Sins, with shame and sorrow; and when we make supplication to God with earnestness and hope for Pardon and Acceptance.
[This Confession must be with humiliation and supplication. 2 Chron. 7.14. & 33.12. Repentance is sometimes set forth by Humiliation, 2 Chron. 33.19. Jam. 4.10. by a contrite, broken, and humble Heart, Psal. 51.17. Isa. 57.15.
