4. A Proclamation of Peace doth not particularly give an account of all the horrid Crimes and Offenders that are by virtue thereof, freely pardoned upon their coming in; for such a Proclamation is rather put out by a Prince to reclaim Stubborn Rebels, in which their Names are inserted; but this Proclamation, i.e. the Gospel, proclaims Free Pardon for all manner of Sins, Iniquities, and Transgressions; and to all the vilest Traitors, Enemies and Rebels against the Eternal God; as to all Swearers, Liars, Drunkards, Harlots, 1Whoremongers, ⟨p. 128⟩or Adulterers, Idolaters, Effeminate Persons, Abusers of themselves with Mankind, Proud Persons, 2Covetous Backsliders, Thieves, Extortioners, Malicious Persons, Murderers, Back-biters, 3Blasphemers, Sorcerers, yea all manner of Sinners have Free Pardon offered to them upon their coming in, and laying hold of Jesus Christ;4 and none are excepted but such who have sinned against the Holy Ghost.
