The application of redemption

It wrought a clearing in the one, as the Text expresseth […], and no question in the other upon the same ground, i. e. a naked, full, and free-hearted acknowledgement; Godly Sorrow like a strong Potion, clears the Stomach, casts out the core, suffers no remainders behind, of any secret reservation of a wretched distemper, in any degree or circumstance, makes a clear Conscience quit of any combination, with any lust in the least correspondence. When the corruption which is gathered in the […] erred sore, grows ripe and rotten, it will break presently, though no man lance or touch it, and […] plentifully ⟨p. 643⟩and abundantly. So with this through contrition, it works a separation, and therefore an evacuation, loosens the affection from the sin inwardly, and […] it wholly by acknowledgement.

It's true, In Nature, and Grace, and Reason, each thing […] it self, and therefore expels its contrary, to the utmost distance it may, that it may neither find nor fear any annoyance, or hazard therefrom; and therefore we find in diseases, Agues and Fevers, when Nature by the help of Physic hath gained some strength, forceth the malignant humour as far from the heart as it can, it breaks forth into the lips, and then it's conceived and […], the fits will end, the danger is over. So it is with the soul when it's helped by the Spirit in piercing the soul with Godly Sorrow, he causeth the disease and distemper to break forth into the lips by open confession, and forceth it as far as may be, from ever annoying the heart any more. The sweetness of sin is in this taken off, contrition severs it from the heart, confession vomits out and removes it, that it may never annoy the soul, or disturb the peace of a mans Conscience any more.
