Thomas Watson — from the Text Creation Partnership’s transcription of the 1668 edition, keyed by hand from the page images.

Watson preaches repentance from Acts 26:20, taking it apart into six ingredients — sight of sin, sorrow for sin, confession, shame, hatred, and turning — and then pressing it home with motives, cautions and means. Spelling and punctuation are as printed in 1668. A few words the transcribers could not read, and the Greek and Hebrew their transcription does not carry, are marked […].
