1. This difficulty, that before thou canst be pardoned, God must be made Man, and yet must remain the same God he was before; thou criest for pardon of sin, or thou art undone; suppose now, that Gods bowels of mercy did even yearn towards thee for to pardon thy sin, yet before this is done, there must be this great work done; that God must be made man, and yet remain the same God he was before; here's a mighty difficult work, a greater work than making of the world, and yet mercy breaks through this.

2. Here's this stands between sin and pardon, That when God is made Man, he must die and be made a curse; and not only so, but God the Father must do it; he must take his own Son and stab him for thee, he must himself take him and put him to death, and himself must pour out his wrath upon his own Son, before thy sins can be pardoned. Now that God the Father should take his own Son, the Son of his delight, stab him to the heart, and himself put him to death, this is a mighty great work; and yet this must be done before thou canst be pardoned.
