Men that have cheap and slight thoughts of Gods Pardoning-Mercy; have thereby an evident sign, They never had a pardon: never knew what it was indeed, To have a pardon.
If ever any work in the world did put God to it, then this of the Pardon of sin. And, if ever God do intend thee any good, he will instruct thee, and rectify thy judgement in this, Touching the Pardon of sin.

Therefore doth God humble men, at their Bringing-in, To raise up their esteem of a pardon, To advance the greatness of his own Mercy, in Pardoning sin.
And indeed we should not need such great Preparations and Humiliations in coming to Christ, if we had but Greater thoughts of the Pardon of sin.
