6 f tWsea ' . And , this all cheerfng Sdctrirtt is amply confirmed 6 v ^ the demonstrable evidence that tttfe Father Was with Jesus in all
rtrat he drdy and by his raising Mm ftom the dead , and by the various wonderful gifts of the H & ly Spirit wHhicfe were bestowed trpon the apostles . If we repent therefore and be converted our
Sins will be blotted out ; and if tve turn unto God with ^ 11 the heart , and live soberly , righteously and godly , we shall win the crown of life . This thought is sufficient to comfort us in all our
tribtrlarions , to preserve us in a uniform course of well doing , and to make us even rejoice , when , like our blessed Master , we are frated by the world for doingjtistly ,
t & titig mercy , and walking humbry with our God . We should , therefore * , whatever vtfe do , impress this truth upon our hearts , that all tb £ sincere followers of 3 £ sus shaW rive' and reisnrwith

righteousness of another , nor have the wickedness of another imputed to him . The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father , neither
shall the father bear the iniquity of the son . The soul that sinneth shall alone suffer the punishment of his sin . Such is the justice of God , who in all his
perfections is without any variableness or shadow of turning . Arid so great is his mercy , that instead of requiring the innocent to be a substitute for the guilty , that he is not even strict to mark our own
iniquities , but is ready to pardon and willing to be gracious . Repentance is the only satisfaction that he dem ^ , nde \ h to be reconciled to the sinner , and if \ ve become Dure . merciful and
