Wherefore Repentance is here •oined with F••th in the way of receiving the Gospel, Faith is that without which it cannot be received at all: And Repentance, without which it cannot be received unfeignedly. When therefore Christ says he would have Repentance and Remission of Sins preached in his Name among all Nations▪ it is as much as to say, I will that all Men every ⟨p. 7⟩where be sorry for their Sins, and accept of Mercy at God's hand, through' me, lest they fa•l under his Wrath in the Judgment. For, as I said, without Repentance what Pretence soever Men have of Faith, they cannot escape the Wrath to come; wherefore Paul saith, God Commands all Men every where to repent (in order to their Salvation) because he hath appointed a Day in the which he will Judge the World in Righteousness by that Man whom he hath ordained, Acts 17.30.
