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

such_o a_o man_n sin_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o pardon_v till_o he_o do_v believe_v for_o as_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o pardon_n do_v not_o make_v a_o sin_n

capability_n of_o pardon_n whether_o his_o merit_n be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a hereunto_o as_o that_o god_n can_v not_o have_v pardon_v a_o sinner_n without_o it_o although_o that_o be_v a_o

such_o punishment_n and_o here_o let_v i_o offer_v this_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o reader_n viz._n that_o as_o in_o some_o respect_n the_o sinner_n be_v say_v to_o make_v himself_o guilty_a
