116. [verse 16] 'Repent' signifies so that they may be on their guard against such works, and do works that are good. These things are signified by 'repenting', because it has treated of goods for the sake of recompense, and of hypocritical goods, against which those who place everything of the Church and of salvation in good works and not anything in truths of doctrine will be on their guard; when yet truths of doctrine teach how and of what there must be a willing and thinking, or loving and believing, in order that the works may be good.
