Of
Pardoning Mercy,
being
fach
a Mercy
as
is
denyed
to
the
fallen
Angels.
Leffed is the
Haan
that
bath
his
iniquities
forgiven
for
this
Io.
A
is
a
mercy
that
God
hath
denyed
to
the
fallen Angels
:
God
gument
in
pardoning
thy
fin
,
does more
for
thee
than
he would
do
for
thofe thoufand
thoufand
millions
of
Angels
;
it
is
a
mercy
that God
has denyed to thofe millions
of
Angels
that
finned
againft him
:
Suppofe
a
poor wretched
man
be
guilty
of
Treafon
againft the
King,
and
as
he
is,
fo a
great
part
of
the chief
No-
bility
of
the Land are
guilty
alfo,
as
well
as
he
:
But
now when
the
King
comes
to look upon
them,
he
fets
his
heart
on
this
peor
man
(
that
perhaps-
begged from
door
to
door
)
and
fayes
this
poor
creature
{hall
be
forgiven
;
I
will
pafs by his offence,
and not
only
fo
,
but advance him into
high
and
great
favour
at the
Court,
and
condemns
all
the Nobles
:
Now if
this
poor
man
(hall
fee all
the Noble
men in
chains,
that were guilty
but
of
one offence
:
and he
perhaps
hath
been
guilty
for
aing
in
a
treafonable way
forty,
fifty,
or
fe.venty
years
...and
the
No
ble
men
guilty
but
for
one offence
:
and
this
poor
wretched
cream
ture
fees
thefe
Noble
men
in
chains,
and knows
that
all
they
and
every
one
of them
are
condemned
to
Puffer
melt
dreadful
tortures
,
to dye
a
molt
dreadful
torturing
tormenting
death
:
Now
what
a
mighty aggravation
is
this
of
the
mer-
cy
of the King
,
that (hall pardon the
offence
of
this
poor
creature
;
how
will he
{land
amazed, admiring
at
the
greatnefs
.
of
it
I
that
am
guilty
of
the
fame offence,
yea,
more guilty
than
they
,
and
that
I
(hall
be
pardoned
s
and
the
chief
of
the
Nobility
of
the Kingdom muff
dye
a
aloft
torturing
tormenting
death,
for
their
offence ;
what
.a
difference
hath the
Kings
fa-
vour
made between
me
and them
!
Certainly
this
is
the
cafe
for
all
the
world,
with
any
poor
foul
whofe
fins
are pardoned
;
God
has
done
as
much
for .thee, to the
full ;
the Angels were the
molt
glorious
creatures that
ever
God
made,
and
thou
art
bur
a..
pour worm
in compárifon of them
;
they
finned
againft
