For all those, tho' now glorious Saints in Light, were sometimes Sinners of the biggest size, who had Sins that were of a notorious hue: Yet now, I say, they are in shining and heavenly Robes before the Throne of God and of the Lamb, blessing for ever and ever, that Son of God for their Salvation, who dyed for them upon ⟨p. 73⟩the Tree; admiring that ever it should come into their Hearts, once to think of coming to God by Christ: But above all, blessing God for granting of them light to see those Encouragements, in his Testament; without which, without Doubt they had been daunted, and sunk down under the guilt of Sin and Despair, as their Fellow Sinners have done.
