The Prophet Isaiah expounds it to be not our grace, or works of grace, (although wrought by grace) but his own name sake. ²In some respect indeed it is just for God to forgive, viz. in regard of Christs satisfaction. 1 Joh. 1.7. Rom. 3.20.

If therefore you think the Lord pardons your sins because you have been less sinners then others; or if you think the Lord will not pardon your sins, because you are greater sinners then any else, you sin exceedingly against the riches of Gods grace in this point.
