either
;
fo
when
a
foul comes
to
God
in
Chrift,
when it
comes
to
Pardon
and
Juftification, whether
fins be
little
or
great, 'tis
all
one, the
mercy
of God
makes
no difference at
all
;
take
heed
to what
I
fay,
while
I
am,fpeaking
of
forgivenefs
of
fin,
I
(hall
make known
fo
much
grace,
that
if
you
abufe
it,
it will
be une
of
the
molt
dreadful things
that
ever
you
did
,
and
therefore
while
I
go.along,
take heed
of
abufing
it,
efpecially
you that delire to
h.
ar of
(he
pardoning mercy
of
God
;
whe-
ther your
fins
be
little
or great,
when
you
'come
to
pardoning
mercy
,
it
is
an
infinite
Ocean that
fwallows up all
;
thofe
that
have
not
their
fins.psrdoned ,
whether
their
fins
belittle
or
great,
it
makes no différence,
they
are
truly
damned
for little
as
well
as
gnat
fins,
both
finks
down
into
Hell,
and
the infi-
nite Ocean
of
wrath
and
horror
fwallows up
all
:
fo in
point
of
Juftification, whether your
fins be
little
or
great,
it matters
not, pardoning mercy
fwallows up all.

Of
the
Final
Carsfe
of
Mercy in forgivenefs ofSin.
Secondly,
But
further,
as
Mercy
is
an
infinite
Ocean
that
fwallows
up Sin,
fo
Mercy
is
the Final
Caufe.
It
is
to
this end
that
God
might manifeft
the
riches
of
his
grace
;
when
God
forgives
any
one
fin,
this forgivenefs
comes
from
Gods
mercy,
and
it
is
to
this
end,
That
Ge.d may
declare
before Men
and
Angels, to
all
eternity , what
the
greatnefs
and
infinite
riches
of
his
grace
is,
what the grace
of
God
is
able
to
do when
God
comes to
pardon
fin
;
'tis
for
this end,
as
if
he
fhould fay,
Well,
I
am about
now to pardon
thy
fin, and this
work
I
am
about
to
do,
it
is
for
this
very
end,
that it
may
be
known to
Men
and
Angels to
all
eternity
,
what
the infinite riches
of
the infi-
nite grace
of
God
is
able
to
do
for poor
finners.
Now
cer-
tainly,
that
man
is
a
bleffed
man
,.
if
the
man whofe
fins
are
-
pardoned bath fuch'mercy 'hewed to him ,
and
fuch
a
bletíèd
work
upon
him,
as
is
to
that
end,
that
God
may declare to
all
eternity what
the
glorious riches
of
wee
of
an infinite
God
is
;
furely
this
is
a
great
bleffednefs
, when
God 'hall
feparate
a
manor
woman for this end,
it
muff
be
very
glorious
';

therefore pardon
of
fin
is
no
light
and
mean
thing,' but
