LECTURE XXIV.
MAT. 6.12. And forgive us our Debts.
1Another Question, which is also of great use, we are to dispatch at this time, viz. Whether a Believer repenting and suing for pardon, is to make any difference between a great sin and a less? For if a man should be persuaded of the negative, then would gross and notorious sins, which Tertullian calls, Devoratoria salutis, whirlpools and gulfs, wherein the party offended is plunged, be no more then those sins, which Austin calls, Quotidiana & levia, daily infirmities, which continually flow from the most sanctified person. Again, on the other side, A Christian falling into such a gross sin, may so far be swallowed up with sorrow, as that he shall think the whole bond of friendship is dissolved between him and God, that he is cast out of that spiritual Paradise he was in, and that God is no more his Father, nor he his child. It is therefore necessary to have a pillar of fire to guide us in this wilderness. And that the whole truth of this matter may be understood, observe these Propositions.
