are argument's
in

againft it.
r.
That
remiflìon
which
is
given
upon
a
price, more then
fuf-
ficient
to anfwer
all
the
punifhment
of
finne,
that
is
nota
halfere-
million.
a. That
finne
which
is
remitted
or
pardoned,
that
is is
not to be
fatisfied
for
:
to pardon,
is
without fatisfaaion ,
or
any revenge
taken
to
forgive
that which
is
committed againft me.
Should the King,when
he
might
execute
a
Traitour,not
take his
life,
but
keepe
him
in
prifon, he fhould
not
forgive
the
fault, but change
a
greater punifhment into
a
leffe.

Againe
;
that which
is
given from
the
riches
ofgrace,
is
no
fcant
halfe
pardon.
But
the
remiflion
which God giveth,is from
his rich
grace.
True
it
is,
that God doth
after he hath forgiven
a
fin,take temporary
correction
ftill;as
in
David5but
to
offer
himfelf
as
a
fatherfor our good,
is
one
thing, to
revenge himfelfe
as
a
judge,for the fatisfying
of
his
ju-
{tice,is
another;
the
fling
ofrevenging
juftice
is
pulled
forth,
from what
time we have
forgiveneffe
;
this done ,
the
evil!
is
no
curfe
of
the Law,
and Ergo, it
may ftand with
full and free forgiveneffe.
Should
force
7urke have fentence
a(fe
on him
to
dye for force
murther which
a-
p
mongft Chriftians
he
is
found
to
have
committed;fhould Chriftians
be-
tweene
the
fentence and time
ofexecution,
tabour with him, and
con-
vert
him
to the faith
of
Chrift,
fhould he
now, when the home of
exe-
cation were
at
hand,being duely
prepared
to
it,take Baptifine, I hope
he
fhould
be
fully forgiven, and
yet
he fhould have
no
releafe
from
this
death,
which by
his
murther
he
had deferved.
In
a
word,
there
is
no
ground
for this
opinion,but
it
is
onely defendedthat the
flame
of
purga-
tory
might not
be extinguifhed. Aske
the queftion,whydoth
this man,
having after-Baptifme fallen
to force mortali
finne, and then repenting,
why
