God puts no such limits in Scripture, but all sin in its own nature brings into a state of condemnation, and yet no sin brings a believer into the state of condemnation; therefore this is a great mystery of God in the pardoning of sin, when God pardons the sin of a believer, he does not only pardon what he hath done at present, but for what he shall do he ⟨p. 22⟩lays in a pardon, and Christ hath purchased it for us, for all sins yet to come: 'tis like a Son running into arrears, his Father comes and pays his debts; but because he sees his Son will run further into arrears, he lays in so much as will pay all for time to come, that if he run into arrears he shall not be cast into Prison: just so it is with God, God pardons all our sins at first, and then he lays up a Pardon, that if we run into arrears we shall not lie in Prison to be condemned and suffer for them. This is a great mystery, and they that teach otherwise rob the people of God of abundance of comfort that otherwise they might have, were this Truth made clearly known unto them.
