There are sins of all sorts described, and which is to be observed, God putteth no term or bounds to his mercy, whereas he doth set some to his anger. Let not therefore the greatness of sin be thought more then the greatness of mercy pardoning, and Christs obedience suffering; as it is hypocrisy to extenuate and make our sins less then they are, so it is unbelief to diminish his grace; and Gods greatness above us is as much celebrated in this his kindness, as in any other attribute. The sins of all the world, if they were thy sins, were but like a drop of water to his mercy, no more then our essence or power is to his Majesty: Take heed then of saying Such and such sins may be forgiven, but can he forgive such as mine are also?

The Sea could as easily drown an whole Host of Pharaohs men, as twenty Soldiers. The Apostle is excellent, Rom. 5. in this, making an opposition between the first Adam and second, aggravating the superlative power of the gift by grace, above the evil through sin: Hence it's called the riches of his grace, rather then power or wisdom, because of the plenty, and abundance of it. Who would not think that while Gods goodness in the Scripture is thus unfolded, there should not be a dejected, unbelieving Christian in the world? shall our sin abound to condemnation, more then his grace to justification? because sin is too strong for us, is it therefore too much for the grace of God also? you see by this, that we may drink wine enough, in the Scripture Wine-cellars, to make our hearts glad,
