12. That the day of grace may be so past with some, as that sincere faith, and repentance, and a changed will that loveth holiness, and consenteth to the Covenant of grace, may be rejected of God, and unavailable to salvation.
XIII. Of Justification and pardon.
1. That God forgiveth the deserved punishment of no sin, but requireth it of the sinner himself, and Remission is only the destroying of sinful dispositions and preventing future sin, and not forgiving the punishment of what is past, or will be.
