I. On Repentance.

[8438] Prævaricatorem: comp. ad Ux.b. ii. c. ii. ad init.

[8439] Matt. v. 27, 28; comp. de Idol. ii.

Chapter IV.—Repentance Applicable to All the Kinds of Sin. To Be Practised Not Only, Nor Chiefly, for the Good It Brings, But Because God Commands It.

[8440] Comp. Ezek. xviii. 30, 32.

[8441] The substance of this is found in Ezek. xxxiii. 11.

[8442] Compare 1 Tim. i. 16.

[8443] Comp. c. xii. sub fin. [Ut naufragus alicuius tabulæ fidem; this expression soon passed into Theological technology, and as “the plank after shipwreck” is universally known.]

[8444] Isa. xl. 15.

[8445] Dan. ii. 35; Matt. iii. 12.

[8446] Ps. ii. 9; Rev. ii. 27.

[8451] John xiv. 6.

[8452] Obsequii.

[8453] Or, “paramount.”

[8454] See ref. 1 on the preceding page. The phrase is “as I live” in the English version.

[8455] “Asseveratione:” apparently a play on the word, as compared with “perseverare,” which follows.

[8456] Or, “enjoyment.”

Chapter V.—Sin Never to Be Returned to After Repentance.

[8457] [The formidable doctrine of 1 John iii. 9; v. 18, etc. must excuse our author for his severe adherence to this principle of purifying the heart from habitual sin. But, the church refused to press it against St. Matt. xviii. 22. In our own self-indulgent day, we are more prone, I fear, to presumption than to over strictness. The Roman casuists make attrition suffice, and so turn absolution into a mere sponge, and an encouragement to perpetual sinning and formal confession.]

[8458] i.e., favour.
