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

actual_o there_o be_v a_o fear_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n that_o be_v not_o from_o the_o say_v spirit_n of_o adoption_n e.g._n god_n adopt_a once_o for_o want_n of_o assurance_n and_o through_o a_o misapprehension_n of_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n to_o god_n ward_n may_v possible_o and_o ofttimes_o do_v actual_o fear_v hell_n and_o damnation_n even_o with_o that_o kind_n of_o fear_n which_o we_o common_o style_v legal_a or_o slavish_a i.e._n they_o fear_v hell_n as_o that_o which_o they_o think_v they_o be_v actual_o oblige_v to_o suffer_v but_o this_o fear_n in_o they_o be_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o they_o shall_v cast_v off_o or_o cast_v away_o that_o fear_n it_o be_v for_o the_o slave_n of_o satan_n and_o not_o

the_o next_o i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o confectary_n with_o the_o say_n of_o bernard_n as_o i_o have_v see_v he_o quote_v who_o write_v to_o one_o who_o he_o think_v not_o to_o be_v sufficient_o

these_o two_o thing_n to_o answer_v 1._o i_o do_v conceive_v that_o the_o great_a work_n of_o a_o minister_n and_o the_o grand_a bent_n of_o his_o preach_n and_o that_o which_o he_o shall_v chief_o and_o direct_o have_v a_o eye_n upon_o in_o all_o his_o preach_n aught_o to_o be_v the_o future_a and_o eternal_a safety_n of_o people_n rather_o than_o their_o present_a ravishment_n and_o comfort_n in_o the_o way_n 2._o whatsoever_o i_o have_v write_v in_o this_o or_o in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o this_o exercitation_n do_v most_o direct_o tend_v unto_o and_o make_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o if_o for_o their_o safety_n then_o consequent_o and_o necessary_o for_o their_o comfort_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v yea_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o no_o doctrine_n be_v indeed_o and_o in_o a_o scripture_n sense_n comfortable_a doctrine_n but_o that_o which_o do_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n minister_v to_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o to_o their_o preservation_n in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o if_o i_o be_v not_o herein_o mistake_v i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o people_n will_v make_v use_n of_o that_o say_n whereby_o to_o judge_n what_o manner_n of_o preacher_n be_v the_o most_o comfortable_a preacher_n and_o what_o doctrine_n be_v the_o most_o comfortable_a doctrine_n chap._n xxvii_o that_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v no_o warrant_n so_o to_o absolve_v a_o believer_n as_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o tell_v he_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v as_o absolute_o pardon_v and_o that_o he_o be_v as_o absolute_o sure_a of_o heaven_n as_o if_o he_o be_v already_o in_o heaven_n consect_n xx._n 20._o it_o follow_v that_o a_o minister_n have_v no_o warrant_n to_o tell_v a_o believer_n how_o that_o he_o may_v assure_v himself_o for_o his_o comfort_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v as_o absolute_o pardon_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v as_o absolute_o be_v save_v as_o if_o he_o be_v already_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o abraham_n and_o actual_o translate_v with_o enoch_n and_o elias_n the_o obligation_n of_o a_o sinner_n as_o to_o eternal_a condemnation_n be_v take_v off_o not_o absolute_o but_o conditional_o for_o what_o be_v to_o come_v or_o as_o to_o the_o actual_a enjoyment_n of_o what_o mercy_n be_v to_o come_v for_o what_o dismission_n soever_o god_n do_v vouchsafe_v to_o a_o sinner_n in_o this_o

it_o and_o which_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v remember_v viz._n that_o though_o the_o obligation_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o eternal_a condemnation_n be_v actual_o take_v off_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v
