A86586	An exercitation concerning the nature of forgivenesse of sin. Very necessary (as the author humbly conceiveth) to a right informaion [sic], and well grounded decision of sundry controversal points in divinity now depending. Directly intended as an antidote for preventing the danger of antinomian doctrine. And consequently subservient for promoting the true faith of Christ and fear of God, in a godly righteous, and sober life. / By Thomas Hotchkis, Master of Arts of C.C.C.C. and minister of Gods word at Stanton by Highworth in the county of Wilts. To which is prefixed Mr. Richard Baxters preface.	Hotchkis, Thomas.; Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1654 (1654)	Wing H2891; Thomason E1518_1; Thomason E1632_1; ESTC R208563	133,342	405

write_v about_o six_o year_n ago_o but_o have_v not_o yet_o publish_v to_o the_o question_n therefore_o i_o answer_v that_o a_o penitent_a and_o true_o believe_v sinner_n have_v confess_v his_o sin_n once_o be_v notwithstanding_o in_o order_n to_o forgiveness_n to_o confess_v they_o upon_o occasion_n again_o and_o again_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o david_n and_o other_o of_o the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n psal_n 25.7_o 18._o and_o 51.9_o and_o i_o think_v beside_o other_o reason_n e.g._n 1._o then_o shall_v no_o christian_a ever_o mention_v original_a sin_n in_o his_o confession_n to_o god_n have_v once_o in_o his_o life_n acknowledge_v it_o 2._o if_o we_o may_v infer_v from_o the_o text_n in_o hand_n that_o sin_n be_v but_o once_o to_o be_v confess_v because_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n god_n be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o why_o may_v we_o not_o by_o a_o like_a reason_n conclude_v that_o we_o be_v but_o once_o in_o our_o life_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v whosoever_o shall_v call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v rom._n 10.13_o beside_o i_o say_v these_o and_o other_o reason_n i_o think_v the_o true_a know_v ledge_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n as_o be_v afore_o declare_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o here_o perfect_a but_o in_o perfect_a more_o and_o more_o till_o out_o die_v yea_o till_o our_o rise_a day_n be_v a_o very_a sufficient_a and_o satisfactory_a ground_n and_o reason_n for_o the_o same_o see_v we_o be_v more_o and_o more_o capable_a of_o receive_v or_o capable_a of_o receiu●ng_v more_o and_o more_o of_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o in_o order_n thereunto_o viz._n the_o degree_n of_o pardon_n make_v confession_n of_o they_o again_o and_o again_o beside_o although_o it_o be_v grant_v as_o be_v afore_o acknowledge_v and_o assert_v that_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o a_o penitent_a sinner_n have_v confess_v his_o sin_n he_o be_v immediate_o pardon_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o that_o his_o obligation_n to_o damnation_n be_v take_v away_o yet_o who_o can_v or_o dare_v say_v that_o this_o dis-obligation_n shall_v be_v continue_v to_o such_o a_o sinner_n as_o shall_v never_o afterward_o so_o much_o as_o once_o in_o his_o life_n god_n prolong_v his_o life_n confess_v those_o sin_n again_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n be_v make_v only_o to_o those_o who_o do_v patient_o continue_v in_o well_o do_v i._n e._n in_o all_o the_o way_n of_o do_v well_o among_o which_o i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v one_o viz._n frequent_a prayer_n and_o frequent_a confession_n and_o so_o the_o continuance_n of_o our_o pardon_n and_o justification_n be_v yet_o but_o conditional_a in_o the_o covenant_n though_o certain_a in_o decree_n as_o well_o for_o the_o confirmation_n as_o explanation_n of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v in_o the_o

be_v it_o further_o consider_v 1._o the_o sin_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n or_o sin_n commit_v after_o conversion_n as_o well_o as_o sin_n commit_v before_o conversion_n be_v mortal_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o do_v deserve_v punishment_n even_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n and_o damnation_n what_o law_n it_o be_v by_o virtue_n whereof_o the_o sin_n of_o believer_n do_v deserve_v damnation_n be_v not_o so_o unanimous_o by_o divine_n agree_v upon_o it_o be_v a_o question_n agitate_a among_o they_o whether_o the_o old_a law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v only_o relax_v or_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o abrogate_a to_o all_o mankind_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v scarce_o discern_v any_o real_a difference_n in_o this_o controversy_n one_o choose_v to_o style_v that_o a_o abrogation_n which_o another_o think_v fit_a with_o a_o precise_a respect_n to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n to_o call_v a_o relaxation_n and_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o the_o controversy_n be_v rather_o verbal_a then_o real_a i_o hope_v therefore_o that_o i_o may_v without_o the_o offence_n and_o with_o the_o good_a leave_n of_o either_o party_n express_v my_o sense_n in_o the_o same_o to_o be_v this_o viz._n i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o whereas_o in_o the_o old_a law_n or_o covenant_n of_o work_n all_o manner_n of_o sin_n be_v threaten_v with_o death_n as_o unavoidable_a ex_fw-la parte_fw-la legis_fw-la that_o law_n as_o threaten_a death_n in_o such_o sort_n and_o upon_o such_o term_n and_o as_o command_v perfect_a universal_a obedience_n as_o the_o only_a condition_n of_o life_n be_v take_v away_o so_o that_o mankind_n be_v not_o under_o that_o law_n or_o covenant_n as_o in_o the_o sense_n aforesaid_a in_o stead_n whereof_o we_o all_o be_v sub_fw-la lege_fw-la remediante_fw-la under_o a_o new_a law_n or_o covenant_n of_o the_o lord_n redeemer_n in_o which_o law_n there_o be_v threaten_n of_o two_o sort_n viz._n conditional_a and_o peremptory_a in_o the_o former_a all_o manner_n of_o sin_n be_v threaten_v with_o damnation_n in_o the_o latter_a only_o final_a impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n but_o it_o be_v not_o material_a to_o my_o present_a purpose_n to_o determine_v aught_o in_o that_o question_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o i_o only_o to_o say_v that_o all_o protestant_n divine_n do_v unanimous_o accord_v in_o this_o viz._n 1._o that_o all_o sin_n be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n mortal_a and_o deserve_v damnation_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o one_o law_n or_o another_o either_o the_o new_a or_o else_o the_o old_a threaten_v in_o that_o respect_n or_o so_o far_o forth_o be_v in_o force_n or_o continue_v 2._o all_o sin_n deserve_v damnation_n by_o virtue_n of_o divine_a commination_n it_o will_v follow_v thereupon●_n that_o the_o sinner_n upon_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n be_v actual_o oblige_v to_o suffer_v according_o for_o why_o or_o whence_o be_v sin_n say_v to_o be_v mortal_a but_o from_o that_o strength_n which_o it_o have_v from_o or_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o law_n commination_n to_o oblige_v the_o sinner_n to_o damnation_n 3._o as_o a_o consequent_a hereof_o it_o follow_v that_o a_o sinner_n have_v need_n of_o pardon_n for_o every_o sin_n that_o so_o the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n may_v not_o be_v execute_v according_a to_o the_o obligation_n 4._o in_o order_n to_o the_o procure_n of_o the_o say_a pardon_n or_o dis-obligation_n and_o to_o the_o divert_v of_o damnation_n threaten_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o godly_a shall_v use_v such_o mean_n from_o time_n to_o time_n as_o god_n have_v in_o his_o word_n command_v they_o to_o use_v i._n e._n that_o they_o shall_v confess_v their_o sin_n pray_v for_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o fly_v for_o refuge_n by_o faith_n to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n daily_o 5._o immediate_o upon_o a_o sinner_n take_v such_o a_o course_n or_o use_v such_o mean_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v he_o to_o take_v and_o use_v for_o pardon_n the_o law_n be_v disable_v and_o the_o sinner_n be_v disoblige_v from_o damnation_n because_o its_o threaten_n be_v only_o conditional_a viz._n in_o case_n of_o non-repenting_a and_o faith_n which_o condition_n be_v perform_v the_o new_a law_n or_o covenant_n can_v no_o long_o hold_v the_o sinner_n guilty_a 6._o this_o disobligation_n of_o the_o sinner_n be_v that_o particular_a and_o new_a pardon_n of_o which_o as_o be_v assert_v a_o godly_a man_n have_v need_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o new_a and_o particular_a sin_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o some_o divine_n do_v not_o use_v in_o this_o case_n the_o expression_n new_a and_o particular_a pardon_n but_o a_o renew_a application_n of_o pardon_n but_o because_o this_o expression_n be_v to_o my_o seem_v very_o obscure_a they_o not_o explicate_v what_o they_o do_v intend_v by_o the_o say_v renew_v application_n of_o pardon_n whether_o they_o mean_v some_o renew_a act_n of_o the_o sinner_n or_o else_o some_o renew_a act_n of_o god_n and_o because_o i_o know_v no_o fitness_n in_o the_o phrase_n in_o what_o sense_n soever_o it_o be_v take_v for_o if_o any_o one_o allege_v the_o former_a sense_n i_o answer_v that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n active_o take_v be_v not_o our_o act_n but_o go_n beside_o a_o sinner_n renew_v application_n of_o pardon_n to_o himself_o be_v his_o renew_a act_n or_o act_n of_o faith_n which_o act_n of_o faith_n i_o shall_v choose_v to_o express_v by_o a_o sinner_n renew_v application_n of_o himself_o to_o christ_n or_o the_o promise_v of_o christ_n for_o pardon_n and_o not_o by_o the_o sinner_n renew_v application_n of_o pardon_n to_o
