John Trapp on Luke 24:47-48

Verse 47. And that repentance, &c.] Blessed be God (saith one) that after our ship-wrack by Adam, there is such a plank as Repentance for a poor sinner to swim to heaven upon. It is a mourning for sin, as it is offensivum Dei, & aversivum a Deo. It is commissa plangere, & plangenda non committere, as Ambrose hath it: to bewaile what is done amisse, and to do so no more.
