Oh then admire the riches of Gods pardoning grace, that he forgives sins clothed with many aggravated circumstances; O then what remains? there are two things to be done by you:
Oh then admire the riches of Gods pardoning grace, that he forgives sins cloathed with many aggravated circumstances; O then what remains? there are two things to be done by you:
First, If at any time you find that you are under these aggravations, that you can call your sins the iniquity of sin; O then you should admire and magnify the multitude of Gods mercy, that great sins cannot out-vie Gods mercy, but Gods mercy out-vies thy great sins, Magnify pardoning grace the more; Paul saith, 1 Tim. 1. 13. I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious, but I obtained mercy, &c. O do thou say so, I have been thus vile and thus wicked, I have thus abounded in sin, yet through the abundance of grace and love, I have obtained mercy. O let this enhance the value of Christs blood.
