That a persisting sinner, is an unpardoned sinner.
There is abundant mercy for returning sinners, but I know of none for those that resolve to go on in sin. There is a promise of repentance, and a promise to repentance, but there is no promise which doth not either offer or require repentance, Repent and thou shalt be saved is the tenor of the Gospel, as well as believe and thou shalt be saved. Though many who are going on in their sins, are overtaken by grace, yet there is no grace promised to those who go on in their sins. The holiest are threatened with wrath, if they do; surely then, none are put into an expectation of mercy, if they do. The promises either find us repenting, or they cause us to repent. No sinner is pardoned for repentance, nor without it. Job speaks that language more clearly in the words following, which some make an exposition of these.
