It
is
the worft time,becaufe God
(hall
lofe
a
great
part of
his
end
in pardoning fin
;
for
when
God
pardons
fin it
is
to
this
end,
that
his
poor creatures might
honour
and
worfhip
him
in
this
world,and
do
him
fervice;
but
now to
feek
for Gods
pardoning
grace when thou
canfi do him no
more
fervice in
this
world
;
How
canft thou think
that he
will
accept thee then
?
He
came
to
redeem
us,
that
we
might ferve
him
in
holinefs
and
righteoufne$
all
the days
of
our
lives
;
and
he knows
there
is
no fuch
way to
ingage the
heart
of
man
to
ferve him
as
pardoning grace
;
for
when
once
a
foul
fees
it felf
delivered from
thofe
Enemies
of
in
and
of
the Law that
would
defiroy
him,
his heart
will be
mightily
fet
to honour
God
and ferve
him
in holinefs
and
righteouínefs
all
his
days
;
and
therefore
to
Peek
for pardon
when thou
canff do
God
no
more
fervice
in
this
world,
mull
needs
be
the
worft
time
;
for
how knoweft thou
that
he will
accept
thee
then
?
