Whether a thing be wrong or right, Guilt may pursue him that doth contrary to his Conscience. But suppose a Man should deny his God or his Christ, or relinquish a good Profession, and be under the real guilt thereof? Shall he therefore conclude he is gone for ever. Let him come again with Peter's Tears, and no doubt but he shall obtain Peter's Forgiveness. For the Text includes the biggest Sinners.

And 'tis observable, That before this Clause was put into this Commission; Peter was pardoned his horrible Revolt from his Master. He that Revolteth in the Day of Trial, if he is not shot quite dead upon the place, but is sensible of his wound, and calls out for a Chirurgeon, shall find his Lord at Hand to pour Wine and Oil into his Wounds, that he may again be healed: And to encourage him to think that there may be. Mercy for him, besides what we find recorded of Peter, you read in the Acts, some was through' the Violence of their Trials, compelled to Blaspheme, and yet are called Saints, Acts 26.9, 10, 11.
