DOCTRINE.1
- 1There is a possibility of pardon to any sinner for any sin, except the sin against the holy Ghost.
That there is a possibility of pardon for any Sinner whatsoever, and for any sin whatsoever, to all men for all manner of sin, except the sin against the holy Ghost. Hence the infiniteness of Divine Mercy is in Mica 7. 19. compared to the depths of the sea: The Ocean is of that vast capacity, that ⟨p. 267⟩it can swallow up the highest mountains, as well as cover the lowest Mole-hill. And Isa. 44. 22. it is compared to the strength of the sun, which can scatter the darkest clouds, as well as consume the thinnest vapours. There is in man a continual fountain of sin, in God a continual fountain of Mercy, Zac. 13. 1. still running; yea, there is in man multitude of sins which stream from that corrupt fountain; and there is in God Multitudes of Mercies to heal and stop those various currents; Psalm 51. 1. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out mine offences.
