SERMON I. DOCT. I. The first steppe to true and sound repentance, is, to be wounded and disquieted in our hearts for sin. 2 Lawful things must be done lawfully, and good things in a good manner. 3 With confession of sin, must be joined earnest requests for pardon thereof. 4 The more sinful any one is, the more foolish he is. 5 It is a wonderful hard thing, to take down the pride of mans heart. 6 The more speedily we judge our selves, the more mercifully the Lord will deal with us.
