The Doctrine of Repentance

1. He discourseth of the manner of his life before his conversion, ver. 5. after the most strait Sect of our Religion, I lived a Pharisee. During the time of his unregeneracy, he was zealous for Traditions; and his false fire of zeal was so hot, that it scorched all that stood in his way, ver. 10. Many of the Saints I shut up in prison.

2. Paul discourseth of the manner of his conversion, ver. 13. I saw in the way a light from Heaven, above the brightness of the Sun. This light was no other but what shined from Christs glorified body: And I heard a voice speaking unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? The body being hurt, the head in Heaven cried out. At this light and voice Paul was amazed, and fell to the earth, ver. 14. And I said, who ⟨p. 3⟩art thou Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest, ver. 15. Paul was now taken off from himself; all opinion of self-righteousness vanished, and he did graft his hope of Heaven upon the stock of Christs Righteousness.
