Luther confesses, That before his Conversion he met not 1with a more displeasing word in all the study of Divinity, then this word Repent: But after the Lord had converted him, and manifested himself to him, he delighted in this work. Then he could sorrow for his sins, and rejoice in his sorrow.

Repentance strips the soul stark naked of all the Garments of the old Adam, and leaves not so much as the shirt behind. In this rotten building there is not one stone left upon another: As the Flood drowned Noah's own friends and servants, as well as strangers, so true Repentance drowns all darling lusts. True Repentance is the cutting off the right hand, and the pulling out of the right eye, and is this such an easy thing? surely no. True Repentance is a gift that is from above, and if the Lord does not give it, man will eternally perish for the want of it. You may read much more of this, in my Treatise called HEAVEN ON EARTH.
