Inference 1.
And is there forgiveness with God for such as have been enemies to Christ,1 his truths, and people. Then certainly there is pardon and mercy for the friends of God, who involuntarily fall into sin, by the surprisals of temptation, and are broken for it as ingenious children for offending a good Father. Can any doubt, if God have pardon for enemies, he hath none for children? If he have forgiveness for such as shed the blood of Christ with wicked hands; he hath not much more mercy and forgiveness for such as love Christ, and are more afflicted, for their sin against him, than all ⟨p. 410⟩the other troubles they have in the world? Doubt it not, but he that receives enemies into his bosom, will much more receive and embrace children, though offending ones.
