this_o i_o will_v take_v some_o pain_n in_o prove_v this_o point_n because_o it_o may_v be_v of_o special_a use_n for_o tender_a conscience_n reason_n 1_o first_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v true_a by_o the_o charge_n that_o god_n give_v man_n to_o repent_v 1.16_o isa_n 1.16_o as_o in_o isaiah_n 1.16_o wash_v you_o make_v you_o clean_o put_v away_o the_o evil_a of_o your_o do_n from_o before_o

17.30_o god_n now_o command_v all_o man_n every_o where_o to_o repent_v now_o i_o reason_v thus_o if_o god_n command_v that_o man_n shall_v repent_v of_o their_o sin_n then_o sure_o there_o be_v pardon_n to_o be_v obtain_v upon_o repentance_n for_o the_o foul_a sin_n but_o god_n command_v the_o great_a sinner_n to_o repent_v therefore_o upon_o their_o repentance_n they_o shall_v be_v pardon_v nay_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o lord_n threaten_v to_o plague_v those_o that_o repent_v not_o and_o say_v tertullian_n god_n will_v never_o threaten_v the_o man_n that_o repent_v not_o if_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o pardon_v he_o upon_o his_o repentance_n nay_o to_o add_v more_o weight_n to_o that_o reason_n we_o may_v observe_v the_o encouragement_n which_o god_n afford_v sinner_n thereby_o to_o move_v they_o to_o repent_v which_o be_v so_o many_o argument_n to_o assure_v they_o that_o there_o be_v pardon_n for_o the_o great_a sin_n as_o that_o in_o isaiah_n 1.18_o 2.13_o isa_n 2.13_o though_o your_o sin_n be_v as-scarlet_a they_o shall_v he_o as_o white_a as_o snow_n the_o word_n there_o for_o scarlet_a in_o the_o original_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

so_o infinite_a and_o bottomless_a that_o it_o shall_v pardon_v the_o gross_a sinner_n if_o they_o repent_v reason_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o example_n of_o those_o great_a

shall_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o the_o incestuous_a corinthian_a who_o be_v a_o notable_a sinner_n yet_o upon_o his_o repentance_n he_o be_v absolve_v or_o shall_v i_o tell_v you_o of_o the_o

therefore_o be_v persuade_v and_o assure_v that_o every_o sin_n be_v remissible_a if_o we_o can_v but_o repent_v reason_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n first_o from_o his_o power_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n whatsoever_o but_o he_o can_v forgive_v it_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n micah_n say_v micah_n 7.18_o who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o unto_o thou_o 7.18_o mi●●_n 7.18_o that_o pardon_v iniquity_n he_o be_v not_o as_o man_n who_o can_v pardon_v a_o few_o offence_n but_o he_o can_v pardon_v all_o sin_n as_o well_o the_o great_a as_o the_o small_a

to_o die_v for_o sinner_n and_o when_o our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o do_v converse_v with_o sinner_n at_o which_o though_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n snuff_v say_v he_o be_v

for_o god_n to_o pardon_v cain_n do_v lie_v when_o he_o say_v his_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o can_v be_v forgive_v i_o read_v of_o one_o that_o be_v tell_v by_o the_o devil_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v

what_o offence_n can_v a_o man_n commit_v against_o another_o that_o the_o party_n offend_v shall_v not_o forgive_v let_v our_o displeasure_n be_v as_o just_a as_o may_v be_v yet_o there_o be_v no_o
