A. All sin is pardoned (though the Pardon be not perfect at first) to all true penitent Believers. But final Impenitence, unbelief and unholiness never had a Pardon purchased or offered: But that which is not final is forgiven: Yea, no sin is actually forgiven as to the everlasting punishment to final Impenitents and Unbelievers.l

Q. 12. Are sins pardoned before they are committed?
A. If you call the mere purpose or purchase a Pardon unfitly, or if you speak but of the General Act of Oblivion, which pardoneth all Men on Condition that they penitently and believingly accept it, so sins to come are pardoned: But (not to strive about words) no one hath any actual proper Pardon for any sin before it is committed: for it's no sin, and so no pardoned sin.
