As for instance, forgiveness of sins: if we receive Christ, God will forgive us our sins, and be reconciled to us for Jesus Christs sake; We have an 1advocate with the Father, and he is the propitiation for our sins. The blood of Christ shall cleanse us from all sins. These promises shall be Yea, and Amen to thee: if thy sins trouble thee, they shall be done away. How many promises to this purpose have we of the forgiveness of sins.

Again, if so be thou find want of Grace all the promises in Christ are 1Yea and Amen: he hath promised his holy Spirit to them that ask him, Luke 11. There is a promise shall be Yea, and Amen, if thou beg it. He hath promised the fundamental graces: He will put his fear in our hearts, that we shall never depart from him. He will teach us to love one another, you are taught of God to love one another. He hath promised private blessings in this kind, to circumcise, and cut off the fore-skin of our hearts: If a naughty, and stony heart vex thee, he will take away that, and give thee an heart of flesh, a tender heart. So these promises in Christ shall be Yea, and Amen, if we apply, and believe them, to take away our corruption, and subdue that; and to give, and plant Graces, he hath promised to do this: therefore make use of them, not only of the promises of pardon and forgiveness of sins, but of grace necessary.
