Sinners mourn for sin: Be afflicted, mourn and weep: Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into heaviness, Jam. 4. 9. Get your proud hearts humbled, and your hard hearts broken for those sins whereby you have broken Gods Law; get your hearts broken for sin, and get your hearts broken from sin; Break off your sins by Repentance; Cast away all your transgressions like menstruous clothes, saying, get ye hence, Isa. 30. 22. Let the wicked forsake his way, & the unrighteous man his thoughts, & turn to the Lord, &c. Isa. 55. 7. Thrust these Inhabitants out of doors who have so long ⟨p. 249⟩had possession; suffer not to lodge any longer within you; remember that they are Vipers which will poison you, that they are enemies which will wound and kill you: Do not harbour sin any longer, do not entertain it with smiles and a pleasing countenance, but with tears and frowns: Get your hearts set against sin; labour for deep-rooted hatred of it, and accordingly behave your selves towards it; get the strong holds of sin demolished in your hearts; get the rooms in which your lusts have scattered defilement, washed with the tears of Repentance, and the blood of Jesus Christ: let Christ have his Throne where sin hath reigned; let your thoughts and affections be brought into captivity and obedience unto Jesus Christ: Keep the door of your hearts with all diligence, least your old enemy enter again upon you: Flee from sin as from a Cockatrice, and if you be pursued, manfully resist, resist even unto blood, striving against sin; never parley with sin, hearken not to any terms of composition; Be not enticed unto sin by pleasing baits, neither be affrighted to sin by frowns and threatenings: Fight the good fight of Faith; Turn by repentance from sin, break off the course of sin, and walk not in the way thereof, and turn by repentance unto the Lord; let the Bias of your hearts be turned unto him; Deliver up your selves unto the obedience of his Law, yield your selves unto God, &c. Rom. 6. This is Repentance. And that you may repent of Sin:
