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 complete_o forgive_v without_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o meritorious_a without_o the_o instrumental_a but_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o the_o presence_n and_o the_o

do_v his_o duty_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o we_o need_v go_v no_o further_o save_v to_o look_v back_o upon_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o verse_n next_o save_v two_o precedent_n know_v therefore_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o persuade_v man_n it_o be_v the_o very_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n both_o in_o that_o verse_n and_o in_o the_o forego_n verse_n to_o declare_v with_o what_o argument_n among_o other_o he_o be_v move_v or_o impel_v unto_o faithfulness_n in_o discharge_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o apostleship_n which_o the_o false_a apostle_n in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n do_v traduce_v viz._n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o reward_n of_o life_n and_o death_n heaven_n and_o hell_n at_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n 2._o by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o the_o antinomian_o say_v that_o threaten_n be_v need-not_n and_o useless_a to_o believer_n because_o say_v they_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v they_o to_o duty_n why_o may_v they_o not_o infer_v that_o precept_n promise_n exhortation_n their_o own_o vow_n and_o covenant_n be_v need_v note_n and_o useless_a also_o so_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o for_o any_o one_o to_o profess_v to_o live_v above_o any_o piece_n or_o part_n of_o god_n word_n for_o as_o unfaithfulness_n in_o a_o lsttle_a be_v the_o direct_a way_n unto_o faithfulness_n in_o much_o so_o the_o cast_v off_o of_o one_o ordinance_n or_o one_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o cast_v off_o all_o scripture_n and_o all_o ordinance_n 3_o the_o very_a truth_n
