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

it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v it_o perfect_o so_o far_o as_o upon_o ground_n of_o reason_n and_o religion_n the_o saint_n can_v expect_v or_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o do_v in_o this_o life_n viz._n

the_o rather_o to_o profess_v my_o dissent_n in_o this_o particular_a because_o such_o a_o position_n as_o this_o the_o saint_n here_o be_v as_o perfect_o and_o absolute_o pardon_v as_o can_v be_v
