Repentance it self is of Gods free grace, 2 Tim. 2. 25. In meekness instructing them that oppose themselves, if God peradventure will 1give them repentance. Repentance is Gods free gift, and therefore Christ is said to be exalted by God, to be a Prince and a Saviour, for 2to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

Repentance is not the cause for which God spares a Nation, 1but only a qualification of that Nation which God will spare: Repentance denotes the Persons whom God hath freely promised to pardon, but not the case for which he promises to pardon; as the Gnomon in the Dial is not the cause why the Clock goes right or wrong, but only an Indication whether it go right or wrong.
