It is not only ablativa mali, but collativa boni: it is not a mere negation of punishment due to us, but a plentiful vouchsafing ⟨p. 144⟩of many gracious favours to us, such as a Sonship, and a right to eternal life, as also Peace with God, and Communion with him. God also never pardons any sin, but where he sanctifieth the nature of such an one. Indeed it will be worth the enquiry, Whether this connection of pardon of sin with inherent holiness, arise from a natural necessity, so that one cannot be without the other; or whether it be by the mere positive will, and appointment of God; for the present this is enough, God hath revealed he will never dis▪join these.
