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

of_o god_n constrain_v we_o answ_n here_o again_o i_o answer_v as_o before_z viz._n that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o oppose_v thing_n compatible_a and_o consistent_a such_o as_o be_v the_o love_n of_o

that_o as_o a_o believer_n be_v constrain_v by_o the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o moreover_o by_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v he_o constrain_v i.e._n strong_o powerful_o and_o effectual_o induce_v to_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

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
