A word spoken in season (says Solomon) is like Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver; and considering,1 how large I have been in opening of the Evil of Sin unto you, if ever a word was spoken in due season, I hope it may be out of this Text: ⟨p. 2⟩The word of Reconciliation and pardon of Sin; and if God enable me to clear up unto you the excellency of those Truths contained in this Scripture, I hope they will prove in all your eyes to be as Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver.

The words read, are the first words of one of David's Penitential Psalms, and they are indeed the genuine voice of a true Penitent; the very Character of an humble Penitential Soul; he is one that has admiring thoughts of the blessedness of the pardon of sin: I will not spend time in Analysing the whole Psalm, because the sweetness and blessedness of the Argument draws my heart to come presently to it; And blessed may your ears be, who after hearing of the dreadful evil of sin, may come to hear the blessed doctrine of Pardon; it is that which God has denied to many thousands: And who knows but many even of those that in this Congregation have heard the sorrow of that Doctrine, are now gone (perhaps to their own place) and feel what they then heard, and much more, and are past ever hearing the argument of pardon and forgiveness of sin: that blessed sound shall never come to their ears; but the horrid noise of yelling, roarings, and cursings of damned spirits, for the wrath of God that lies heavy on them for their sin.
