Secondly, the most comfortable and sweet promise, that the Lord our God did of his mere mercy and goodness, join unto his commandment. For he doth not only say, Return unto me O Israel: but also, If thou wilt return, and put 1away all thine abominations out of my sight, thou shalt never be moved. These words also have we in the Prophet Ezekiel: At what time 2soever a sinner doth repent him of his sin, ⟨p. 539⟩from the bottom of his heart, I will put all his wickedness out of my remembrance (saith the Lord) so that they shall be no more thought upon. Thus are we sufficiently instructed, that God will according to his promise, freely pardon, forgive, and forget all our since, so that we shall never be cast in the teeth with them, if, obeying his commandment, and allured by his sweet promises, we will unfeignedly return unto him.
Secondely, the moste comfortable and sweete promise, that the Lorde our God dyd of his mere mercy and goodnesse, ioyne vnto his comaundement. For he doth not only say, Returne vnto me O Israel: but also, If thou wylt returne, and put 1away all thyne abhominations out of my syght, thou shalt neuer be moued. These wordes also haue we in the Prophet Ezechiel: At what tyme 2soeuer a synner doth repent hym of his synne, ⟨p. 539⟩from the bottome of his heart, I wyll put all his wyckednesse out of my remembraunce (sayth the Lorde) so that they shalbe no more thought vpon. Thus are we sufficiently instructed, that God wyll accordyng to his promise, freely pardon, forgeue, and forget al our synnes, so that we shal neuer be cast in the teeth with them, if, obeying his commaundement, and allured by his sweete promises, we wyll vnfaignedly returne vnto hym.
