Seek a Pardon, and seek it PENITENTLY. And there are especially Two Expressions of Repentance, which we are to be exercised in, They are conjoined in Prov. 28. 13. He that Confesseth, and Forsaketh his Sins, shall find Mercy.

Wherefore,
VVherefore,
1. Confess all your Sins, if you ⟨p. 51⟩would have the pardon of them. It was said upon a devout purpose of Confession, in Psal. 32. 5. I said, I will Confess my Transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgavest the Iniquity of my Sin. How much more, will an exact performance of it, have such a Consequence?
