Sixthly, §6A Repenting person, does not only acknowledge his sin as occasion serves; but he labours to un-sin his sin; and truly, else it is no Repentance. He does walk contrary ⟨p. 245⟩unto himself, and his former self: he does labour to undo what he had done before sinfully: he does labour to unsay what he had said before wickedly. Before the Jailer was converted, he clapped up the Apostle into close prison, and either he whipped him there, or else being whipped, he did not relieve him, and wash his wounds: But the Jailer Repenting, mark how he walks contrary to himself: Repenting, he opens the prison door, he washes the Apostles wounds, brings him into his own house, sets meat before him. Those Sorcerers Acts, 19. repenting, burnt their books, which before they prized, and studies much. How did Manasseh walk contrary to himself, when he once Repented?
