V.19.Hereby

but
the concltdion
of
all
is
this
;
Hereby
we
IZz4w
that
he

us,
by
the
Spirit
which
he
hathgiven

foul,)
Gods love:
many
there
are
that
would fain have
their
fins
pardoned,
and
would
fain have
fotríe
figns
of
it
;
and
perhaps
I
may
hereafter
give
fume
figns.
But
now
know,that
all
the figns
in
the
world
will
not
ferve
to
quiet
the
heart,
but
that
it
may
return
again to
its
former
doubts,
till
God
come
to
pacifie the
fpirit
by
the witnefs
of
the
Holy Ghoft
;
for
it
is
fo
great
a
matter, where
once
the
S'
;ul
underftands
the infini:e
breach
made between
God
and it by
fn,
that
it
muft
needs
be
more
than
an
ordinary
work to
afire
the
Soul
of Gods
Reconciliation to
it,
and
nothing
can
do
it
fa-
tisí
u
torily
but
the
Holy
Gcft
;
he
muft
come
to the
Soul
to
af-
fure
it
of
this
thing
:
perhaps the
cafe
of
a
poor
Soul
is
thus
;
Suppofe
a
Prifoner
in
Goal
lyes bound
in
fetters
for
fome
great
offence
againft
his
Prince,
and fome
friend
comes and
tells
him
there
is
hope
of
pardon
:
Oh,
fayes
he,
'Lis
too good
news
to
be
true
;
well, another
comes
to the grate
of
the
Prifon,
and
tells
that
he hears
from the
Court,
the King bath
foaled
Pardons,
and
put
fuch
a
ones name in,
this
is
forne
comfort
;
but
yet
this
frees
him not
from
fears and
doubtings.
But
now,
fuppofe
the
Favourite
of
the
Prince
comes
from the King
himfelf,
one
that
is
of
the
Kings
Bed-
chamber,
and one
to whom
the
King
opens
his
whole foul,
and
nothing
the King
doth
but
he
is
ac-
quainted
with
it ;
he
comes
to this
poor
man,
and bids him
be
of
good
comfort, I
come
from the King,
and
bring you
a
Par-
don from
him,
{hews
it
him,
and
fayes
there
it is, take it
Oh
this
revives his
fpirit,
when
fuch
a
fpecial Meffenger
is
fent
unto
him
:
fo in
this
cafe
I
may
compare
all
figns
to
be
like
force
friend
or other,
that
goes
by
the
grate,
and
fpeaks
of
the happi-
nefs
of
fuch
a
man
that
he
is
pardoned
;
but
the
foul
is
under
.fuch
blindnefs and
fears,
by
reafon
of
the guilt
of
fin,that
God
khcws
it
is
no
eafie
matter to
perfwade it
of
pardon
:
But now
God
for
the comfort
of
there that
he intends good will
unto,
fends
his
