not abide this
grace
of
God, I
know not how
to
open
it
to Be-
lievers
but
with
a
great
deal
of
danger to
others
;
but how
much
danger foever
it may
be
to
others,
yet it muft
be
opened and
delivered
to Believers
;
it
is
Gods
mind
that
his
grace ihoúld
be
nude
known unto
them,
he would
have
them to know it,to
the full,
that
his
Pardoning Mercy
is
irrevocable
;
and
there-
fore
a
Believer
íhould not
qu.ftion
his
Juftification
up
in
every
fading
in
his
Sançtification, this
is a
diíhonour
to the
free and
r
ch
grace
of
God,
if
on
every failing
we
call
in queftion
that
great work of
the
Juftification of
our fouls,either
to
fay,or think,
I
indeed did
hope before that
God
had pardoned the
fins
of
my
youth,
and
all
my antient fins, but
falling
into
fin
again,
I
am
afraid
all
is
undone
;
all that
God
ha.h
done
unto
me
is
undone
again
,
and
I
muft anfwer for
all
my
fins
:
this
I
confefs
will
come upon the Confcience
, fpecially
upon the committit
g
of
any
new
fizz
;
but
though
it
do,
yet
it
ever
you
have
been affured
of
the pardon
of your
fin, know
, this mercy [hall
never
be
recalled

the
foundation of
God fd'andeth

and this
is
a
fundamental
mercy that aiwayes abides:therefore
