The Forgiveness of Sins.
I believe, O my God, that none can forgive Sins but thou alone a, and that in thy Church for∣giveness is always to be had; and for so inestimable a blessing all love, all glory be to thee.
I believe, O thou lover of Souls, that without true repentance we cannot hope for pardon b, that our repentance is at the best imperfect, that it is out of thy mere mercy, O heavenly Father c, and for the merits and passion of thy crucified Son d that thou dost accept our imperfect repentance, and art pleas'd to forgive us; and therefore all love, all glory be to thee.
descriptionPage 29
Glory be to thee, O most adorable Trinity, for thy infinite love in our forgiveness e; Glory be to thee, O Father forgiving, O Son propitiating, O Holy Ghost purifying, I miserable sinner, who sigh, and pant, and languish for thy forgiveness, and to be at peace with thee f, praise, and adore, and love that most sweet, and liberal, and tender, and ami∣able mercy, that delights in forgiving sinners.
