And Protestants confess 2the distinction of Mortal and Venial Sin, under the name of Wickedness, or Reigning Sin, and Sin of Infirmity in this sense; that Mortal Sin is that which is inconsistent with true Faith, Repentance, Love, Justification and right to life, and is never pardoned till the person be changed by true conversion: But Venial Sin or Infirmity is that which consisteth 3with all these aforesaid, and is presently pardoned by the Covenant of Grace, upon the actual or habitual Repentance or hatred of it in the Sinners.
