A Practical Commentary on the Epistle of Jude

2. Humiliation intimated in the word repent; 'tis not enough to know your selves fallen, many are convinced of their collapsed and decayed estate, but do not judg themselves for it in Gods presence, go bewail it to God, smite upon the thigh, praying for pardon; that's the notion of the word [repent] here, 'tis not enough to repent of gross whoredom, theft, drunkenness, we must repent also of the ⟨p. 523⟩decays of love, the blind world thinketh we are to repent of nothing but what is publicly odious: In friendship coldness is taken for a great injury, go arraign thy self before God for growing cold in his Love and Service.
