Q. 10. God is not changeable, to forgive to day what he forgave not yester day: What then is his forgiving Sin?
A. The unchangeable God changeth the Case of Man: And, 1. By his Law of Grace, forgiveth penitent Believers who were unpardoned in their impenitence and unbelief: And, 2. By his Executive Providence he taketh off and preventeth punishments both of Sense and Loss, and so forgiveth.
Q. 11. How can we pray for pardon to others, when we know not whether they be penitent Believers, capable of Pardon?
A. 1. We pray as Members of Christ's Body for our selves, and all that are his Members, that is, penitent Believers.
2. For others we pray that God would give them Faith, Repentance and Forgiveness: As Christ prayed, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do; that is, Qualify them for Pardon, and then pardon them: Or give them Repentance and Forgiveness.
