Will you say that godliness is unpleasant, because it makes a man sorry for his ungodliness?.... Would you wish a man that hath lived so long in sin and misery, to have no sorrow for it in his return—especially when it is but a healing sorrow, preparing for remission, and not a sorrow joined with despair, as theirs will be that die impenitently?
Richard Baxter 1615-1691
