Of the Foundation of Eternal Life laid in Pardoning Mercy.
8. Blessed is the man that hath his iniquities forgiven; for this is the foundation of eternal life; whoever hath this mercy, hath a certain pledge put into his hands of eternal life, Rom. 8.30. Whom he predestinated, them he called: whom he called, them he justified: and whom he justified, them he glorified: thou who art justified, and hast thy sin pardoned, thou shalt certainly be glorified: A Prince may pardon a man, but he cannot assure him of eternal life, though he give him his natural life: But God if he pardon, he makes it known to that soul that he shall live eternally with him in glory: Oh blessed is he then that hath his iniquities forgiven, for this is a pledge unto him of eternal life.
Of Pardon of Sin being the bottom of all true Comfort.
9. Blessed is he that hath his sin pardoned; for pardon of sin is the very bottom of all true comfort: Be of good comfort your sins are forgiven; if Christ speak but this word to a soul, though he be never so much dejected, it is enough to raise any drooping soul ⟨p. 49⟩
