The Doctrine of Repentance

1. True godly sorrow is intrinsical, ¹and that two ways: 1. It is a sorrow of the heart. Hypocrites sorrow lies in their faces, Matth. 6. 16. They dis-figure their faces^*: They make a sour face, but their sorrow goes no further: Like the dew that wets the leaf, but doth not soak to the root. Ahab's Repentance was in outward show: His garments were rent, but not his spirit, 1 King. 21. 27. Godly sorrow goes deep, like a Vein which bleeds inwardly^*. The heart bleeds for sin, Act. 2. 37. [Greek or Hebrew], They were pricked at their hearts^*. As the heart bears a chief part in sinning, so it must in sorrowing.
