obferve
what
I
fay
;
it
follows from
the point
wherein I
opened
the
wonderful
work
of
God
in
pardoning
any one

Thus,
Is
it fo
great
a
work
of
God
to
pardon
one
fn?
Shall
I
go on
then
to
add
fin
unto
fin
to
make
the work greater?
Friend,ifGod
pardon
but one
fin
in
thought that
thou haft
been
guilty
of
in
all
thy
lift,
it would
be
a
work that
would yield thee
matter
of
praife
to
all
eternity
;
and
wilt thou
be fo
defperate
then
as
to
add
fin
unto
fin
?As
fuppofe
a
man

if

.,
yea,
and perhaps he could tell
others,
that there
is
force
poflïbiliy,
and
yet
he
goes on to
increafe the
malignity
more
and

how

O
that
we would confider
of
the unreafonable

nefs
of
the dealings
of
men
with God
;
men
are
ashamed to
be
unreafonable
in
their
dealings
with
men,
but
in
their
dealings
with
God, they
are
as
unreafonable
as can
be
imagined
;
you

yes,you

;
have you hope?
if
