14. That this persuasion of pardon doth inflame much to Holiness, appeareth from the nature and state of those who are in it. They are sons, Now by experience we see, that in an ingenuous son, the more apprehension there is of his fathers tender love and kindness to him, the more obsequious and serviceable he is; Can we think that the fathers great love to his prodigal son, was not like coals of fire poured on him to melt and thaw him? We rather see jealousies and suspicions of love to breed hatred at last. Hence diffidence worketh despair, and despair hatred of God: It is therefore a special duty lying upon the people of God, to entertain good thoughts of God, and to be persuaded of his loving kindness to them.
