raife him unto favour, bring him into
his Privy Chamber ,
and
open
his
whole
heart
and
all
the
myfteries of
the Kingdom
to him
,
here
is
a
great
change
;
thus
does
God
to poor
(inners
,
that he pardons
:
A foul
that
lyes under the
guilt of fin,
is
juft for
all
the
world
like unto
a
ialefacior
that
lyes
in
a
dungeon, that hath
bolts
and
fetters
on him
;
the guilt
of
fin
is
like
bolts and
fetters
on
thy
foul
:
Well,thou
lyeft there
fait
bound
;
but
when
God
comes
in
with
pardoning mercy
,
God
fends
to
thee
in
this dungeon, and
knocks
'off
thy
bolts
by
pardon,
and not
only
fo,
but calls
thee
into
his
Privy Chamber,
and
opens
his
heart
and bofome
unto
thee, and reveals thofe things
that were kept
Lcret
from the
beginning
of
the
world:
Princes do not aiwayes
deal
Co
with Ma-
lefaftors,
if
they
pardon them
they
think they have done enough
for
them; they
may
afterwards go
and fhift
for themfelves,
they
are
not
called
into
the Privy
Chamber
to
have
the King
open
his fecrets unto
them;
but it
is
certainly
fo
to every
foul
God
pardons
;
he pardons
none,
but
whom
he
calls
into his
Privy Chamber,
and reveals
unto
him
the great Counfels of
his
will,
and
what
has been
the great thoughts of
his
heart,
for
the
good
of
than
foul
from
all
eternity
;
though
force fouls
have
more light
than
others,
yet
to
no
foul
that
is
pardoned
bu:
God
comes
in
with
a
great
and
glorious
light
;
and in
refpec`f
of
the light
of Nature,
it
may
be
called
a
glorious light
:
there
is
not
the
weaket
and
pooreft creature
in
the
world that
is
par-
doned
,
but he
underftands more
of
the light

he
dare venture
his foul on thofe
thoughts

no
Rabbin
in

though he
can

yet
he
dares not
venture
his foul
for
the eternal welfare
of it
