Char. 4 A fourth Character, He in whom sin is pardoned, is a man in whom is no guile, Psal. 32. some do take guile in a particular sense, others extend it more largely, as a comprehensive word equivalent to sincerity; he is a man in whose spirit is no guile, an upright man. Thus much for the use of Trial.

I now come to answer the Objections.
Object. 1 The first Objection, me thinks I hear a doubting Christian say, Woe and alas, what state am I in! I have misgiving thoughts that God hath not pardoned mine iniquities, because I cannot find that I have a heart to mourn for my iniquity. And is it imaginable, that Christ should shed blood for those sins, which I never shed a tear for? I can mourn for outward small crosses, but I cannot mourn for great inward corruptions: this makes me doubt whether ever God hath pardoned my sin.
