The reason hereof may not be sought in the party that sinneth,1 or in the nature of sin (for every sin is mortal, and deserveth eternal condemnation).2 In either of those no reason at all can be found out: But only in the extent of Gods mercy, and in the all-sufficiency of Christs sacrifice. For the mercy of God is greater, not only then any one, but then all sins whatsoever: and the sacrifice of Christ is a sufficient price of redemption for all:3 His blood cleanseth from all sin. As Gods mercy and Christs sacrifice are the cause of pardoning any one sin: so the riches of Gods mercy, and the infinite value of Christs Sacrifice, are the cause of pardoning all sins.
