Observe; That Repentance is the renewing of our Communion or acquaintance with God.
As sin is a turning from God, so repentance is a returning to God; 'tis a change first of our mind, and then of our way. Impenitency brings the soul into an acquaintance and unholy familiarity with Satan; Repentance brings back the soul into its former acquaintance, and holy familiarity with God. As the first conversion (which is from a state of sin) so the second and every renewed conversion (which is from our falls into sin) renews our converse with the most high.
