to wit Repentance. Then per comparationem alterius legis; to wit the law of forgiveness to such as sincerely do Repent. If God hath threaten'd us with Destruction upon a supposal of our Impenitence, (which is the sole reason for which he threatens,) And if our Repentance shall interpose betwixt the Threat and the Execution, (which Repentance is an Emergency, to which the Will-of-God-to-punish is most Repugnant,) Then by vertue of the Promise of God to men, [ That when soever they repent, they shall not fail of his Pardon, ] he cannot possibly be obliged to put his Threat in Execution. For whatsoever may have been said to a yet-sinning People, (as once to Nineve,) yet such a People (like the Ninevites) may seasonably break off their sins by Righteousness, and make it just that the Statute should void the sentence. that is to say, that the Statute enacting Pardon to the Penitent, should void the sentence of Destruction which was but made to unrepenting and desperate Sinners. |
