The application of redemption

He that hath his […] pierced through, and is truly §3affected with his sins, he loathes himself and his soul for it, sees that shame is his due, and that which his sin hath, deserved, and therefore is willing to take that which is his due and desert, desirous to shame and dishonour that which hath been the greatest shame and blot to his person and profession, and the greatest dishonour to God; this is made the guise and behaviour of all those whom God doth kindly and really break off from their sins, and bring them to himself, Ezek. 36. 31.
