their_o doctrine_n be_v this_o that_o to_o admit_v of_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n either_o as_o to_o temporal_a or_o eternal_a punishment_n for_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemous_a imputation_n on_o

be_v sufficient_a to_o refute_v the_o papist_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n in_o what_o they_o hold_v anent_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n upon_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o antinomian_o run_v on_o another_o

some_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v grant_v as_o truth_n and_o there_o be_v some_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v caution_v against_o as_o error_n the_o truth_n that_o be_v to_o be_v grant_v may_v be_v reduce_v to_o these_o four_o word_n 1._o that_o justify_v person_n never_o meet_v with_o condemnation_n what_o temporal_a lot_n soever_o they_o meet_v with_o and_o though_o they_o be_v not_o secure_v against_o the_o cross_n yet_o they_o be_v secure_v from_o condemnation_n 2._o that_o a_o pardon_v and_o justify_v child_n of_o god_n do_v never_o come_v under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n though_o justify_v person_n may_v come_v under_o god_n fatherly_a displeasure_n yet_o they_o be_v never_o more_o object_n of_o divine_a wrath_n as_o other_o though_o they_o may_v often_o meet_v with_o fatherly_a and_o divine_a displeasure_n as_o child_n they_o come_v not_o under_o wrath_n as_o enemy_n 3._o that_o pardon_v and_o justify_v sinner_n never_o fall_v under_o proper_a punishment_n for_o sin_n or_o affliction_n to_o satisfy_v for_o their_o fault_n though_o for_o other_o end_n they_o may_v as_o to_o invite_v they_o to_o repentance_n and_o to_o be_v humble_v for_o
to_o take_v a_o right_a look_n of_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n profane_a mocker_n begin_v there_o to_o cast_v off_o all_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o if_o say_v they_o it_o be_v decree_v in_o heaven_n they_o will_v get_v it_o and_o if_o not_o they_o want_v it_o other_o that_o be_v more_o tender_a be_v ready_a to_o question_v if_o they_o be_v decree_v for_o life_n and_o if_o christ_n stand_v in_o their_o room_n and_o if_o they_o have_v interest_n in_o his_o death_n but_o these_o be_v not_o thy_o first_o question_n but_o if_o thou_o have_v need_v of_o he_o if_o that_o which_o thou_o master_n

comfortable_a look_n of_o god_n decree_n and_o purpose_n about_o thou_o thou_o will_v never_o get_v but_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o question_n whether_o all_o sin_n of_o the_o justify_v be_v forgive_v at_o once_o the_o expression_n of_o some_o orthodox_n divine_v run_v this_o way_n that_o justification_n be_v a_o indivisible_a instantaneous_a act_n all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o justify_v past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v be_v pardon_v in_o that_o first_o act_n of_o justification_n and_o all_o that_o we_o get_v afterward_o be_v a_o renew_a sense_n of_o our_o justification_n and_o a_o

be_v grant_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o justify_v no_o sin_n that_o he_o fall_v in_o after_o justification_n shall_v eventual_o condemn_v he_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v partly_o the_o sure_a decree_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v save_v his_o own_o elect_a who_o he_o have_v decree_v to_o save_v partly_o the_o purchase_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v lose_v none_o that_o be_v give_v

man_n be_v justify_v he_o shall_v never_o be_v condemn_v though_o he_o fall_v in_o new_a sin_n after_o justification_n but_o this_o we_o say_v not_o upon_o that_o account_n because_o these_o sin_n be_v pardon_v but_o because_o the_o elect_v justify_v man_n shall_v undoubted_o repent_v and_o get_v pardon_n and_o these_o be_v the_o term_n on_o which_o we_o say_v that_o no_o sin_n the_o justify_v man_n fall_v in_o shall_v eventual_o condemn_v he_o but_o more_o particular_o in_o speak_v of_o justification_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n you_o shall_v in_o the_o take_n of_o it_o up_o go_v along_o with_o i_o in_o these_o four_o or_o five_o step_n 1._o a_o justify_v man_n close_v with_o christ_n by_o faith_n his_o person_n be_v reconcile_v and_o receive_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o great_a step_n or_o benefit_v the_o justify_v person_n have_v the_o man_n with_o abraham_n become_v a_o friend_n of_o god_n of_o a_o enemy_n and_o upon_o this_o result_v

man_n be_v not_o a_o perfect_a man_n but_o fall_v daily_o in_o new_a escape_n whereby_o he_o contract_v new_a guilt_n and_o pollution_n therefore_o a_o justify_v man_n beside_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o his_o person_n and_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o be_v under_o for_o the_o time_n he_o have_v a_o right_a to_o that_o open_a fountain_n open_v in_o the_o house_n of_o david_n for_o sin_n

pardon_n be_v there_o must_v be_v a_o crime_n and_o consequent_o sin_n to_o come_v be_v not_o pardon_v they_o not_o be_v as_o yet_o crime_n hence_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o pardon_n of_o

two_o of_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v to_o in_o the_o forenoon_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o be_v suppon_v here_o that_o god_n be_v a_o marker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o what_o it_o import_v and_o second_o

because_o when_o a_o saint_n see_v god_n to_o be_v his_o party_n and_o be_v in_o a_o right_a frame_n he_o pass_v no_o sin_n as_o insignificant_a or_o little_a but_o he_o be_v a_o aggravater_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o this_o i_o gather_v from_o the_o name_n that_o the_o psalmist_n give_v sin_n in_o the_o text_n if_o thou_o lord_n shall_v mark_v iniquity_n he_o call_v they_o not_o only_o many_o iniquity_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n of_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o speak_v but_o iniquity_n gross_a in_o their_o nature_n and_o if_o thou_o lord_n say_v he_o shall_v mark_v sin_n as_o such_o who_o can_v stand_v if_o i_o think_v that_o i_o will_v not_o be_v cut_v short_a by_o the_o time_n i_o will_v here_o observe_v that_o the_o name_n of_o iniquity_n and_o transgression_n be_v frequent_o

though_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n remain_v and_o how_o that_o his_o pardon_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o desert_n of_o sin_n consider_v in_o itself_o but_o that_o it_o take_v away_o that_o desert_n

not_o only_o with_o the_o pollution_n but_o with_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n yet_o he_o need_v not_o be_v afraid_a for_o it_o take_v no_o effect_n against_o he_o since_o he_o have_v betake_v himself_o to_o the_o city_n of_o refuge_n and_o to_o confirm_v this_o i_o give_v you_o several_a scriptural_a expression_n of_o pardon_n which_o may_v quiet_v the_o conscience_n and_o be_v ground_n of_o peace_n that_o although_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o inherent_a desert_n of_o sin_n remain_v yet_o pardon_n be_v a_o real_a security_n to_o the_o pardon_a sinner_n 2._o another_o case_n or_o question_v which_o i_o speak_v unto_o be_v that_o see_v pardon_n free_v the_o pardon_a man_n from_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n whether_o or_o not_o do_v or_o may_v the_o lord_n pursue_v a_o

ground_n of_o refutation_n of_o the_o popish_a doctrine_n who_o will_v have_v the_o fault_n or_o guilt_n remit_v when_o the_o punishment_n be_v retain_v which_o be_v to_o say_v that_o sin_n be_v

and_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v and_o do_v chasten_v
the_o pardon_a sinner_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o sin_n partly_o to_o prevent_v sin_n partly_o to_o rouse_v he_o up_o to_o repentance_n when_o he_o have_v sin_v partly_o to_o set_v sinner_n to_o their_o foot_n that_o they_o may_v be_v right_o affect_v with_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v pardon_v and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v excite_v to_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o pardon_n there_o remain_v yet_o other_o two_o question_n or_o case_n to_o be_v clear_v anenâ—_n the_o nature_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o brief_o speak_v as_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v the_o 3d_o case_n or_o question_n in_o order_n to_o this_o whether_o the_o truth_n of_o pardon_n depend_v upon_o the_o intimation_n thereof_o to_o our_o heart_n yea_o or_o no_o so_o that_o when_o a_o sensible_a sinner_n fall_v down_o at_o god_n footstool_n in_o the_o confession_n of_o sin_n and_o cry_v for_o pardon_n through_o christ_n yet_o he_o find_v nothing_o like_o a_o pardon_n intimate_v to_o his_o conscience_n in_o this_o case_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o have_v he_o ground_n to_o doubt_v that_o neither_o have_v he_o repent_v of_o sin_n nor_o get_v a_o pardon_n from_o god_n for_o it_o the_o general_a answer_n to_o this_o be_v that_o pardon_n and_o god_n intimation_n of_o pardon_n to_o the_o conscience_n be_v not_o to_o be_v confound_v the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 2.12_o give_v a_o general_a rule_n concern_v all_o supernatural_a gift_n that_o when_o we_o have_v receive_v these_o thing_n free_o of_o god_n we_o must_v receive_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v free_o give_v to_o we_o of_o god_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o get_v these_o supernatural_a gift_n gift_v to_o we_o another_o thing_n to_o get_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v of_o god_n to_o know_v they_o be_v give_v we_o and_o this_o have_v place_n particular_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o sentence_n already_o past_a in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o favour_n of_o all_o believer_n and_o penitent_n in_o christ_n so_o that_o no_o soon_o do_v the_o penitent_a sinner_n flee_v unto_o he_o and_o look_v unto_o he_o as_o to_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n for_o pardon_n and_o cure_v but_o as_o soon_o that_o pardon_n become_v he_o before_o he_o can_v subsume_v and_o say_v i_o be_o flee_v

of_o pardon_n be_v suspend_v and_o keep_v up_o and_o hence_o be_v that_o which_o i_o name_v before_o mat._n 9.2_o son_n be_v of_o good_a cheer_n thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v thou_o it_o be_v one_o

forgive_v he_o so_o he_o must_v bid_v he_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o penitent_n pardon_n depend_v not_o on_o the_o intimation_n thereof_o to_o his_o

and_o then_o to_o a_o wise_a hand_n of_o god_n suspend_v the_o intimation_n of_o pardon_n if_o we_o look_v to_o ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v pardon_v we_o can_v discern_v it_o because_o of_o our_o

though_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o bestow_v without_o repentance_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o bestow_v it_o for_o repentance_n therefore_o do_v he_o suspend_v the_o intimation_n of_o pardon_n from_o the_o
