Quote by Thomas Hooker
So that godly sorrow may be discerned by this train of graces wherewith it is accompanied, that worldly sorrow wants, at least in the truth of them, though it may have some shadows of them.
Summary
This quote suggests that true repentance or godly sorrow can be identified by the presence of certain virtues or qualities, while worldly sorrow lacks the genuineness of these virtues, even if it may superficially appear to have some semblance of them. In other words, it implies that sincere remorse or regret demonstrates itself through a set of accompanying virtues, which distinguish it from insincere or worldly forms of sorrow.
