Suppose thou hadst been an Idolater, a Blasphemer, a Murderer, and Unbeliever (yea, and thou hast been so who ever thou art) yet there is salvation to be had even for thee. Only then thou must do as the Jews shall do when God hath mercy on them▪ That is, Repent and mourn bitterly, for all the wrong thou hast done to God by sin, and return unto him with all thy heart, and he will not reject thee. See Zech. 12.10. Jer. 29.12, 13, 14. This then I do proclaim amongst you from the God of heaven this day▪ Let the vilest sinner return unto the Lord by Repentance and Faith in Jesus Christ, and though his sins were as Crimson, they shall be as Wool; though they were as red as Scarlet, they shall become as white as snow; Wherefore thus saith the Lord, let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
