¹Fourthly, Pardoning Grace can as easily triumph in the remitting of great and many Sins, as of few and small Sins. What a great blot upon the Heavens is a thick Cloud, and yet the Beams of the Sun can pierce through that, and scatter it easily. Why now God will blot out our Transgressions as a thick Cloud, so himself tells us by the Prophet, Isa. 44.12. I will blot out thy transgressions as a cloud, and thine iniquities as a thick cloud. A great Debt may as easily be blotted out as a small one. Ten thousand Talents is a great Sum, yet it is as easily and freely forgiven, by the great God, as a few Pence. God proclaims himself, to be a God pardoning Iniquity, Transgression, and Sin; that is, Sins of all sorts and sizes. The greatest Sins repented of, are no more without the Extent of Divine Grace and Mercy, than the least Sins, unrepented of, are without the Cognizance of Divine Justice. Isaiah 1.18.

Say not then, O Sinner, my sins are greater than can be forgiven; this is to stint and limit the Grace of God, which he hath made boundless and infinite: and thou mayest, with as much Truth and Reason say, thou art greater than God, as that thy Sins are greater than his Mercy. Of all things in the World take heed that you be not injurious to this rich Grace, to this free Love and Mercy, that pardons thee even for his own sake. God pardons thee for himself, for his own Sake, and dost thou fear, O Penitent believing Soul, that ever he will condemn thee for thy Sins? no, but as much as God and his Mercy is greater than our Sins, so much more Reason will he find in himself to Pardon the Repenting Believing Sinner, than he can find Reason in his Sins to condemn him.
