A. In turning from sin as well as grieving for it, Isa. 55.7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, &c. Prov. 28.13. He that covereth his sins, shall not prosper, but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them, shall have mercy.
Q. 7. Is turning from sin sufficient?
A. No, that is but the negative part of Religion, there must be also a sincere turning to God, Psal. 119.59. I thought •n my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. Acts 11.23. —And exhorted them all that with purpose of heart, they would cleave unto the Lord.
