The differing of one man from another is their faith and repentance, some there be whose sins are greater then others, yet by the Spirit of God and faith, they work them out every day. It is faith in the brazen Serpent that takes away the sting of the fiery Serpents.

I have done with the conviction of sin. Let us now come to speak of the conviction of Righteousness.
I have done with the conviction of sinne. Let us now come to speake of the conviction of Righteousnesse.
Of righteousness, 2because I go to my Father and you shall see me no more; It is a fit time for ⟨p. 16⟩the Holy Ghost to convince Gods people of righteousness when they are convinced of sin before, then they can relish Christ: Balm is balm indeed when the wound is discovered and felt, O then a pardon is welcome when the party is condemned. The reason of this conviction of righteousness is, because I go to my Father and you shall see me no more. The Holy Ghost as he sets on sin upon the conscience, so he takes off sin by applying to the conscience the righteousness of Christ, this is his office, first, to convince the world of sin, and then to convince of righteousness, whereby we stand righteous before God.
