Again, §2It's one thing for a man to be pricked in heart: and another thing for a man to Repent. Ye shall find therefore, that in the 2. of the Acts: 'tis said concerning divers, That they were pricked in their heart, and said, What shall we do? Peter said nnto them, Repent. They were pricked in their heart, and said, what shall we do? and he said, Repent. Possibly then, a man or woman may be pricked in the heart, and yet not Repent. Those that have the work of the Law upon them, may have more legal prickings: but those that have the work of the Gospel, they Repent more.

And a Malefactor, a murderer, when he sees what shall become of him, that he must die for his sin; he may Repent of his sin, in genere entis; wishing that he had never done it: and yet my be not Repent, in genere morris. Ye read concerning Esau, in the 12. of the Hebrews, That he sought his birth-right with tears; but found no room for his Repentance. He Repented, he Repented with Tears; but found no room for his Repentance. What Repentance was this? Says Austin: He grieved that he had lost his birth-right; not that he had sold his birth-right.
