I. For the first, what true Repentance is, I answer, It is a grace of Gods Spirit, whereby both the heart and affections within, and also ⟨p. 113⟩the life and actions without are reformed. In this description I take the full nature of Repentance to be comprised. Many do add hereunto an inward sorrowing and mourning of the heart, which doth indeed always accompany true Repentance, but it is not of the nature thereof: For then, wheresoever sorrow for sin were, there should be true Repentance, which is not so, as the examples of Saul, Judas, and other wicked men do declare. Briefly to open this definition of Repentance.
