A86586 An exercitation concerning the nature of forgivenesse of sin. Very necessary (as the author humbly conceiveth) to a right informaion [sic], and well grounded decision of sundry controversal points in divinity now depending. Directly intended as an antidote for preventing the danger of antinomian doctrine. And consequently subservient for promoting the true faith of Christ and fear of God, in a godly righteous, and sober life. / By Thomas Hotchkis, Master of Arts of C.C.C.C. and minister of Gods word at Stanton by Highworth in the county of Wilts. To which is prefixed Mr. Richard Baxters preface. Hotchkis, Thomas.; Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691. 1654 (1654) Wing H2891; Thomason E1518_1; Thomason E1632_1; ESTC R208563 133,342 405

in_o what_o sense_n to_o be_v disclaim_v and_o not_o trust_v unto_o for_o salvation_n as_o also_o in_o what_o sense_n or_o how_o far_o forth_o they_o may_v be_v trust_v unto_o or_o rest_v in_o for_o

his_o apostle_n do_v press_v any_o person_n or_o people_n to_o repent_v from_o the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o sinner_n be_v frequent_o exhort_v to_o repent_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n in_o his_o readiness_n to_o pardon_v they_o i.e._n to_o pardon_v they_o in_o such_o way_n or_o upon_o such_o term_n as_o in_o and_o upon_o which_o god_n be_v purpose_v to_o dispense_v pardon_n i.e._n to_o pardon_v they_o if_o they_o do_v repent_v joel_n 2.12_o 13_o 14._o but_o where_o shall_v we_o read_v in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n that_o sinner_n be_v urge_v and_o exhort_v to_o repent_v from_o the_o belief_n sense_n or_o consideration_n of_o god_n grace_n and_o goodness_n in_o this_o that_o he_o have_v already_o pardon_v those_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o be_v call_v upon_o to_o repent_v 2_o suppose_v that_o some_o instance_n can_v be_v produce_v out_o of_o scripture_n of_o some_o sinner_n or_o sinner_n that_o have_v be_v inform_v from_o god_n and_o tell_v before_o hand_n that_o their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v and_o be_v thereupon_o exhort_v to_o repent_v i_o will_v answer_v that_o such_o a_o instance_n or_o instance_n will_v not_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o christian_n duty_n to_o repent_v from_o and_o not_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o scripture_n sometime_o to_o pronounce_v or_o make_v promise_n of_o the_o end_n and_o then_o to_o direct_v and_o exhort_v unto_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n for_o the_o accomplish_n of_o that_o end_n and_o without_o the_o use_n whereof_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v accomplish_v e._n g._n god_n do_v first_o tell_v hezekiah_n that_o he_o shall_v recover_v of_o his_o disease_n and_o that_o he_o will_v add_v to_o his_o life_n fifteen_o year_n and_o thereupon_o god_n direct_v he_o what_o mean_v to_o use_v for_o his_o recovery_n viz._n a_o bunch_n of_o fig_n apply_v to_o his_o boil_v because_o god_n have_v tell_v hezekiah_n before_o hand_n that_o he_o will_v add_v fifteen_o year_n to_o his_o life_n shall_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o hezekiah_n do_v apply_v the_o bunch_n of_o fig_n and_o do_v ever_o after_o that_o time_n eat_v and_o drink_v from_o life_n and_o not_o for_o life_n 3._o to_o say_v that_o a_o sinner_n must_v repent_v from_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o not_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o they_o if_o he_o will_v repent_v evangelical_o be_v to_o make_v a_o sinner_n pardon_v to_o go_v before_o his_o repentance_n whereas_o the_o scripture_n inform_v we_o that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n do_v follow_v repentance_n and_o not_o go_v before_o it_o as_o reward_n follow_v the_o service_n or_o as_o the_o bestow_n of_o a_o promise_a reward_n do_v follow_v

pardon_n do_v whole_o and_o sole_o depend_v upon_o the_o do_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o meritorious_a cause_n thereof_o so_o our_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o part_n or_o benefit_n in_o the_o say_a purchase_n and_o satisfaction_n do_v depend_v upon_o the_o do_n or_o perform_v of_o all_o such_o gospel_n duty_n which_o christ_n have_v appoint_v or_o command_v as_o the_o condition_n
