The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. Psalm 51:17
上帝所要的祭就是忧伤的灵（broken spirit）：上帝啊，忧伤痛悔（contrite heart）的心，祢必不轻看。诗篇 51篇17节
In this great work of preparation for Christ, observe two things: first, the dispensation of the work of grace on God’s part ─ he pulls a sinner from sin to Himself; and secondly, the frame and temper of spirit that God works in the hearts of those whom he draws.
在为基督预备的这项伟大工作中，要观察两件事：首先，是上帝方面恩典之工的施予（dispensation of the work of grace）——祂将罪人从罪恶中拉出来归向祂自己；其次，是上帝在祂所吸引之人的心中所做成的灵性状态和气质（frame and temper of spirit）。
And that makes itself known in two particulars: partly in contrition, partly in humiliation.
这表现在两个方面：一部分是痛悔（contrition），一部分是谦卑（humiliation）。
To better proceed in the prosecution of these two main points, I will handle them separately and at large.
为了更好地继续对这两个主要论点的论述，我将分别详细地处理它们。
And first, we will sift out what this CONTRITION and HUMILIATION are, so that we may not deceive ourselves, and think we have them, when it is nothing so.
首先，我们将细究这痛悔和谦卑是什么，以免我们自欺，以为我们拥有它们，而实际上并非如此。
What Contrition Is
痛悔是什么
This contrition (as I conceive it) is namely, when a sinner by the sight of sin and its vileness and the punishment due for it; is made sensible of sin and made to hate it; and has his heart separated from it.
这种痛悔（按我的理解）就是，当一个罪人藉着对罪及其邪恶和应得的惩罚的看见；被使之感受（sensible）到罪并使之恨恶罪；并且他的心与罪分离。
And so, the sight of sin makes itself known in these three particulars:
因此，对罪的看见在以下三个方面体现出来：
First, when the soul is sensible of sin.
第一，当灵魂感受到罪时。
Secondly, when it has a hearty and sound sorrow for it, and an earnest detestation of it.
第二，当灵魂对罪有衷心和真实的忧伤，以及热切的憎恶时。
Thirdly, when he has his heart separated from his corruptions.
第三，当他的心与他的败坏（corruptions）分离时。
