7. He will put up all Wrongs, and bear exceedingly with thee Many think even when God hath sealed love to them, if any little sin be committed, then they are cast off; no, if under the Law so indeed, but when espoused to him, 'tis not weaknesses, nor wilfulness can make the Lord cast thee away, but he will heal the one, and afflict thee for (yet not cast thee off) for the other, Psal. 89. 33. My loving kindness will I never take away. Yea, he will forgive both, Luke 7. 47. Much forgiven because she loved much. Nay, thy wrongs shall be an occasion to make him love thee more, Rom. 5. Where sin abounds, Grace abounds.
