Is it so, that it is not for any sins that have been past that I am like to perish, but if I perish, I shall perish for continuing rather in evil, than for what evil I have committed, Oh! the Lord forbid then that I should continue, let me this day make a stop in evil. The Lord would have hopes of mercy cast to wicked and vile sinners.

And let us be merciful, as our Heavenly Father is merciful 1That is, Let servants and children that have offended you, let them see, that upon their returning they shall find as much favour from you, as ever they did; sometimes Governors when they are provoked, behave themselves so rigidly towards them that it makes them even desperate: God deals not so with you, do not you deal so with your inferiors.
