Again, §2The more Evangelical your Repentance is, the more you will be humbled, and grieved for sins against the Gospel. I will send (says Christ) the Comforter, and he shall convince the world of sin: what sin? of sin, and of unbelief. Oh! says the soul that Repents Evangelically; who more guilty of unbelief than I? Oh! never any one more Ignorant of Christ than I: Oh! the unkindness of my soul towards Christ! Legal Repentance, it pitches upon some breach of the Law, and there it rests.

Again, §3Evangelical Repentance, complies with spiritual joy, and is a friend unto it. You grieve for sin, and you rejoice in God: and when you rejoice in God, you grieve for sin. I will send the Comforter (says our Saviour.) He does not say, I will send the Spirit: No, but I will send the Comforter, and he shall convince the world of sin, and of unbelief. The Comforter, because it shall be a work of Comfort, unto the soul that is convinced of sin Gospel-wise. and the more a man rejoices in Christ, the more he grieves for sin: and the more he grieves for sin, the more he rejoiceth in Christ again.
