Gods
grace
in pardoning
my
fan;
and.
this
day
God
calls
me
to
come
in, and
have
the pardon
of
my
fin
fealed with
the
Broad Seal
of Heaven, that
my
foul
may
be
affured,
and
I
may
go away
in
peace,
and
be
comforted
and
quieted in
tbegreat
btifnefs
that
lyes
upon
me, thole
fns
of
mine
that
have
fo
grated
on
my
Confci-
once,
and
for
which
I
have
had dreadful
apprehenfons
of
the
Ofoudsof
Gods
difpleaf
are
hanging
over
my
head:
this
day
I
am
to
go
to
have the
fealing of
a
pardon
of
them
all.
Thus íhould
men
and
women come to the Sacrament
with
fuch
thoughts
upon
their
hearts,
as
an
Ordinance
appointed
and
ordained
by
Chrift
for
the fealing
up
the pardon
of their
fins.

and
thofe
who
are caft out
of
the
Church,
and
then received in again,
find
it to
be an
Ordinance of
Chrift,
to
affure
them
of
remifìion
of
their
fins.
It
cafes
out thofe
that are
fcandalous,
andwhen they
repent;
it receives
them
in
again,
and
thereby
affures
them
of the
pardon
of their
fins.
ATranftion
to the
application.
Having
done
with the
Ex-
plication,
if
you would run over
and
make force
recolledìon
of
what
has been
delivered
of
the glorious
ble[fednefs
of
this
mercy
of
forgivenefs
of
fins,
you might
fee
the
effects
following
there-
upon. I
have {hewed
you the
abundant
grace of God
that
is
de-
clared
in
the
fiòrgivet
efs
of
fin
;
I
have
[hewed you the many
my
fl'eries
that there are
in
it,
and
that
is
is
an
inlet
to
many
other
mercies
:
I
have
[hewed you the great
difficulties
it
paffes
through,
and
how
much
the
heart
of
G
od
the
Father,
Son
and
Holy
Ghoft,
was
in
this
mercy
;
I
[hewed
you,it
was
a per-
fed
and
an irrevocable
nsercy,a
mercy denyed
to
Angels,& [hew-
ed
but
to
a
few
of
mankind,compared
to thofe
that
are
pa
ft
by.,
I
have
[hewed,
it
is a
mercy,
the very
poffibility
of
it
would make
the
damned
to rejoyce,
and
it
is
a
mercy, that
is
the
end
of
all
Ordinances
:
And
now having come
to
forre
period of
the
Ex-
plication
,
methinks
that Scripture
comes
prefently
into my
mind, that notable
place in
Rom. 8.
