saith our Saviour, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, except the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. Hast thou therefore been a great Sinner? Hast thou been a Drunkard? Hast thou been a Wanton? Hast thou been a Swearer? Hast thou been an Opposer ⟨p. 371⟩of the People of the Lord? and hath the Lord kept thee from this great transgression? Man or Woman, here is Hope yet. Who would not then turn to God? Come Drunkard, Swearer, Wanton, here is yet hope for thy soul; who would not come in to Christ?

And O! What Comfort is here for Believers that are in Christ? If thou beest in Christ, and a Believer, thou canst not sin this Sin: that look as it is with a man that hath sinned this Sin, he cannot be pardoned; so if a man be the Child of God, a Believer in Christ, he cannot sin this Sin; for he that is born of God sinneth not, neither can he, for the Seed of God abides in him. O! you that are Believers, comfort your selves with this Truth. Here is Comfort for all the People of the Lord, from this Doctrine.
