Q. 2. In what act doth all true Repentance begin?
A. It begins in a true sight and sense of sin, and the danger and misery we are in by sin, Acts 2.37. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, &c.

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, they that •e whole need not a Physician, •ut they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth.
