if

they

now
meet
withal
perhaps
you
meet
with
fome
now,and
more than
you did
before,
but for ought
you know,
thofe miferies you meet with
now,
might
have
been feven
-fold more than now
they are,

Firft,
Becaufe
thegreatnefs
of
the good
that
there is
in
pardon
of fin,
makes
the bitterefl.
and
faddeJt evil
;Aar
there is
in
af
i-
Elion
to be
as
nothing
;
as
to
inftance, fuppole
a
Malefa6tor that
is
condemned to fome grievous
and
hideous death
, i
},.ould
have
a
friend
at
Court
to
fue
for
pardon, or
he
comes
up
to
get pardon
:
Well
,
he
comes and
is
admitted to
come
into
the Kings
Prefence
,
and he
receives
him gracioufly,
pardons him
freely
, quits him fully
of
all
his
guilt
,
and
puts him fully out
of
all
the danger he
was
in
;
perhaps
as
he
is
coming
from the
King he
lofes his
Glove
or
Handker-
chief
;
Would
not
that
be
an
unfeemly
thing for
a
man, that af-
ter
he has
got
his
Pardon,
yet becaufe
he
has
loft
his
Glove,
fhould whine and
wring
his
hands,
becaufe
of
the
lofs
of
his
Glove
;
would not
that
be an
unreafonable
thing
?
Certainly
there
is
as
much unreafonablefs
for
any
man
or
woman
that
hath
the
pardon
of
their
fin,
for
them
to wring their
hands,
and
whine,
and keep
a
ftir
ás
though they were
undone
becaufe
they
are
aflli&ed
:
For
the
greateft
aflliétion
that
can befall
any
in
this
world,
compared
with
the good
of
pardon of
fin,
is
not
fo
much
as
the
lofs
of
a
Glove for
the laving
of
any
mans life
by
the
Kings
Pardon
;
though your
'afflicctions
may
be
more
than
the
lofs
of
a
Glove.; yet
your
pardon
of
fill is
greater
than
any Kings
pardon
in
the
world
:
put
thefe
together,
and
know
hereby the
-unreafonablenefs, and
when to check
thy
fell'',
(ha-
ving any
afl'urance
of
pardon
of
fin)
that thou fhouldft
b-
fo
troubled
at
any
affliaion,
and have fo much
good from
God in
the pardon
of
thy
fin
:
Further, for
thofe
that are troubled
at
G
aff
iftions,
