of
thé
feveral
Miftakes

about
S
the
Pardon
of
their
Sins.
®V
r
work
now
is to
Pew
who
they
are
that
have their
fins
pardoned
;
for there
is
nothing
in all
the
world
fo
much
concerns us,
as
to
know
how
things
Rand
with
us
in
relation
to God.
and.
our
fouls,
whether
we
be
pardoned
or
no
;
for
a
miilake
in
this
is
a wonderful miftake
;
and
yet
how many
thoufands
are there that
venture
the weight
of
this
great
bu-
finefs
upon
poor,
weak,
and flight
grounds
,
yea
rather
on
meer
fuggeftions
of their
own
hearts
and
therefore
we
mull firft
labour to
convince men
of their
miflakes about
pardon
of
fin
;
and then
lay
down
feme found Evidences
of
pardon
, in
which there may
be
true
and
folid
peace. Peo_
ple
are exceeding
at
to
miftake
in
point
of
pardon
of
fits',
hoping that
God
has
pardoned
them,
and
that they
(hall
not
be
laid-to
their
charge
,
but upon
very
flight
grounds,
that
will
deceive them
;
And
therefore
I
delire
tha
day
you
would look
upon
your
felves
as
arraign'd
before
the
great
God,
as
one
day
you
mull
be
.
And
let
your
hearts
fo
hear,
and
attend
to what
we
deliver,
as if
God
fhould
fpeak
to
you,
and-
fay, Thou (inner,
fuch and fuch
things thou
art
privy
to,
and
haft
been
guilty of,
What
can'ft
thou
fay
why
the
fentence
of
everlafting death fhould not
be
part upon
thee
?
why
God
fhould not declare againft thee according
to
his Law
I
fuppofe, fcarce any
of
you
but have fóme
hope
that God
will
never proceed againft
you
according to
his
Law
for
i
inked,
if
he
do,
you are
undone-
for
ever. But
what are the grounds
of your
hopes
?
why
you
think
God
will
not
proceed
again&
you for
your
fins, but will
pafs
them
by;
and
forgive
you
?
Let
us
a
little examine the grounds
of it
,
for
it
is
of very great
Confequence;
and
certainly
many
people are now
funk
down into
the
buttomlefs
pit
of
lüiell,.
by
rafting
upon
falfe
grounds
;
I
(hall labour to
