CHAP. XV. Prescribing some Means for Repentance.
I Shall in the last place prescribe some Rules or Means conducible to Repentance.
1. The first is serious consideration,1 Psal. 119. 59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. The Prodigal, when he came to himself, and did seriously consider his riotous luxuriances, then he repented. Peter, when he thought of Christs words, wept. There are four things, which if they were well considered of, would be a means to make us break off a course of sinning.
