1. If thou repent, thou shalt be forgiven, Acts 3.19. repent, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out: they shall be as if they had not been: where God gives repentance for, he also gives remission of sin, Acts 5.31. He that hardeneth his heart in impenitency shall not prosper; but he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find mercy, Prov. 28.13, 14. For God looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned and perverted that which was right (i. e. if any do repent) he will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light, Job 33.27, 28. yea, he is not only merciful, but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1 Joh. 1.9. Oh, how doth this oblige us to repent!
