I will repent of the evill that I thought to do] Not that God repenteth, as man repenteth, Numbers 23:19. 1 Samuel 15:29. through oversight, or want of due foresight, or by altering his secret purpose: but he is said to repent, because he doth as men use to do when they repent, 1 Sam. 25. 33, 34. not putting in execution, what before he had denounced: so that repentance in man is a changing of the will; repentance in God is the willing of a change: and thus repentance in man causeth repentance in God: when man repenteth of his sinnes, God repenteth of the plague, Jon. 3. 10.
