4 And when the Angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice & wept. 5 And they called the name of that place Bochim, and offered Sacrifices there unto the Lord.

The fruit of the sermon, which was preached is by certain outward signs expressed unto us, which were in a manner apt witnesses of repentance, and of a converted mind.1 Three things therefore are mentioned. First when the people had heard this sermon they lifted up their voice whereby as it is to be believed, they confessed their since, and implored the mercy of God. Secondly it is added that tears were joined with the voices: and lastly that they offered Sacrifices unto God. What they said when they lifted up their voice, the scripture doth not express, but I have expounded what is most likely that they said, and therefore I will stand no longer about that thing: but I will somewhat tarry in those things, which the history hath mentioned of, what things they are, namely as touching tears and Sacrifices. Wherein we must know that true and lawful repentance consisteth chiefly of two principal points,2 namely of a sorrow conceived for the wicked Acts committed, and of a sure confidence to obtain pardon by Christ. Neither ought we to be ignorant, that these two things do burgeon out of faith, as out of their proper and natural root. And faith, when it bringeth forth such fruits, is occupied about two things. First it assenteth unto the law of GOD, and to the threatenings there set forth, and confesseth them to be true, whereby we being assured of the will of GOD, which we understand to be by our since violated, and nothing doubting of the threatenings adjoined, we can not but be grievously sorry. Secondly faith embraceth the promise of forgiveness of punishments by Christ. And whilst it is occupied about these two things, so many outward signs also do follow.
