4. They prayed hard for a pardon. They besought God for his mercy; yielded that nothing else but mercy could do it; that God must do it for his name sake if at all, and accordingly pleaded it • Psal. 25. 11.
5. They forsook their sins. They turned from and renounced them utterly, Judg. 10. 16. 2 Chr. 33. 15.
2 Believe that if they had not thus done they had never found mercy. If they had gone on impenitently, they had not been made the instances of Gods forgiveness; and indeed the Word of God stands for this, Prov. 28. 13.
