2. He hath laid in enough for your pardon, whatsoever you have been. It may be the greatness of your sins terrify you, or the multitude of them, or your long continuing in them, and the many aggravations circumstancing of them, which makes you think them to outbid a pardon; but know it, that because God delighted in forgiveness, he provided for the glorifying of it, by laying it upon one ⟨p. 271⟩mighty to save: and hence, in the Satisfaction made by Christ, there is sufficient to answer all the demands of Justice, for the greatest Sins and Sinners. Such are therefore encouraged, Isa. 55. 7. There can be no wrong done to the Law of God; & abundance is added to the manifestation of his grace by this: there is therefore no room le•t for your doubting on this account: Nay you may make a plea of it, Psal. 25. 11.
