A Practical Discourse Of Repentance by William Payne. This theological treatise argues that repentance is the central Gospel duty and a lasting transformation of character, not merely a momentary feeling or a ritual. Payne contends that true repentance is a thorough alteration of mind and life: sorrow for sins joined with a sincere turning from sin to God, accompanied by obedience and the production of virtuous fruits. He distinguishes genuine repentance from mere remorse (atrition) or superficial tears, and warns against the popular but dangerous notion of “deathbed repentance” as a reliable path to salvation. The work surveys motives to repentance from natural reason and Gospel, addresses the nature of sins (including post-baptism sins, relapses, and the sin against the Holy Ghost), and argues that salvation requires ongoing repentance, faith, and obedience. It prescribes practical steps—confession, restitution, fasting, mortification, and holy living—while affirming that God’s grace does not excuse lax obedience. Ultimately, repentance yields pardon, reconciliation with God, peace of mind, and the hope of heavenly reward, provided it is real and enduring.
