CHAP. III. Of the wonderful Mysteries of Godliness in forgiveness of Sin.
Thirdly, Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven, because there is a glorious mystery of godliness in forgiving of sin; the work of God in forgiving a sinner hath abundance of ⟨p. 11⟩glorious mysteries in it, the Argument stands thus; That man or woman for whom God shall work, such a work as hath multitude of glorious mysteries in it; that man or woman is blessed: But where ever sin is forgiven, God works for that soul such a strange work, the strangest that ever he did; a work that hath so many admirable mysteries in it, that in the opening of them will declare every way that this soul is blessed. And this is the business I would now do, to open the mysteries that are in the forgiveness of sin; and it is to this end, that as I might set before you the great work of God in pardoning sin, so also that you might have higher thoughts of it than ever you had before, for that's it I aim at, to raise up the thoughts of men to the right understanding of this great point of the Justification of a sinner, that so you may sanctify Gods Name, by having such thoughts of it as the thing it self calls for.
