Secondly. Let no Sinner fall into an Enfeebling Despair, as if it ⟨p. 36⟩were Impossible, he should ever obtain a Victory over his Violent Sins. It is not Impossible, for a woman that has been a […] Sinner against the Lord, to become. Great Lover of the Lord. Many ••e discouraged, like those, Jer. 18.12. They said, There is no Hope, but we will every one do the Im•• nation of his Evil Heart; Or, like those, Jer. 2.25. Thou saidst, There is no Hope▪ No, for I have Loved Strangers, and after them I will go. Thus, they say, There is no Hope, that ever I, shall shake off the Chains of Darkness […] are upon my Soul; There is […] Hope that ever I shall be Effectually Reclaimed from all my Evil Courses; There i• no Hope, that ever I, shall attain the Graces, and Comforts, of an Heavenly Life. Oh! Say not so! There is Hope, there is Hope. Even a Rahab her self, may become Renowned for Godly •• •version; God may fetch a •ain• […] of the St•ws, and make a Rahab, ⟨p. 37⟩a Pattern of Godliness, to […] Israel. A Wanton may […] Pattern of Chastity; A […] may become a Pattern of Sobriety; A Swearer may come to have […] Tongue made a Tree of Life; and the Mouth which Cursed Many, may come to Feed Many. And be it known to thee, O Desolate Sinner; when thou art come to Repentance, all thy Old miscarriages will be Forgotten, as if they had never been at all. The Blessed God will fulfil that word unto thee, Jer. 31.34. I will Forgive their Iniquity, and I will Remember their Sin no more. And no Man will Remember it, and Mention it, for thy Disgrace, except he be a Base man, unworthy the Name of a Man: and one to whom the Reviled person may say, as Beza did of them that basely twitted him, with the Repented Vanities of his youth, What strange Folks are these, to Envy me the Grace of my Lord Jesus Christ!
