270 FORGIVENESS OF LIN. ing God of his honor 't Nay, God forbid; we hope to reign and rejoice with Christ, even while we see all that vengeance and indignation that is in the right hand of God, poured out unto eternity upon your souls. Prov. 1 :21-33. CHAPTER XIII. RULES FOR OBTAINING FORGIVENESS.

And I shall, First, lay down such general rules as are necessary to be observed by all who intend to come to gospel- peace and comfort. And, Secondly, consider some such objections as seem to be most comprehensive of those special reasonings wherewith distressed persons usually entangle them- selves.
