12. There is a filial apprehending of Gods displeasure, though we are persuaded of the pardon; this is good and necessary, as we see in David, who made that Psalm of Repentance, Psal. 51. though he had his absolution from his sin. Tears in the soul by the former way, are like the water of the Sea, salt and brackish; but those in the latter are sweet, like the rain of the Clouds falling down on the earth.

17. No wicked man ever hath any sin forgiven him; for seeing remission of sins, is either a part or fruit of Justification, no wicked man is more capable of the one then the other: Indeed we may read concerning wicked men, Ahab and the Israelites, when they have humbled themselves, though externally and hypocritically, yet God hath removed those judgements, which were imminent upon them, and thus far their sins have been forgiven them; but God did not at the same time take off the curse and condemnation ⟨p. 23⟩due to them. Though they were delivered from outward calamity, yet not from hell and wrath. This therefore doth demonstrate the woeful condition of wicked men, that have not one farthing of all their debts they owe to God, paid, but are liable to account for the least sins, and it must needs be so, for Christ the true and only paymaster of his peoples debts, doth not own them; so that when their sins shall be sought for, every one in all the aggravations of it will be found out.
