A The Sick Man having examined his Charity in thefe Two Inftances, viz. in Forgiving and Giving; Let him next proceed to Let him s examine the Truth Repentance in another Fruit and Effect of it, viz. Reftitution. Concerning which he is thus Admonished, in the Order for the Vifitation of the Sick. If he hath offended any Other, to ask them Forgiveness. And where he hath done Injury er Wrong to any Man that he make amends to the uttermost of his Power. on tot won な TH Of Reftitution. "Hat I may diftinctly explain the Nature of Reftitution, and thence convince the Sick Perfon of the Neceffity of it, I muft Premife; That as our Duty is Twofold, Our Duty towards God, and Our Duty towards our Neighbour; So alfo Sins and Tranfgreffions, which are a Breach and Violation of that Duty, are likewife Twofold, viz. Sins against God, and Sins against our Neighbour. Both these kinds of Sins fhall certainly be Pardoned upon our true Repentance; becaufe God, who is Faithful and Just, hath exprefly promifed Pardon upon that Condition. But now 'tis pertinent to obferve, That more is required to perfect our Repentance of Sins against against our Neighbour, than of Sins against God only go out to Sins against God only, are fuf ficiently Attoned by Reformation and Amendment. When we return to our Duty, and own the Divine Authority by a fincere Obedience, the Juftice of God is then fatisfied, and he will again receive us into his Grace and Favour, through the powerful Interceffion of our Dear Redeemer. But now as to thofe Sins: which do not barely Offend God, but are alfo Offenfive and Injurious to our Neighbour, the Cafe is different; and there is more required to the Pardon of fuch Sins. 1:0 For Sins against our Neigh bour, do not only include an Of fence against God, (who hath commanded us to Love our Brother but alfo an Affront and In jury against Men. And And therefore, though upon our true Repentance, God will forgive his fhare of the Sin, and will remit it fo far as it is an A& of Difobedience against himfelf; yet he will not forgive the Af front and Injury against Men, till we have first fought a Reconciliation with those we have Affronted, and have made Reftitution to those we have Wronged, by giving Satisfaction for the Damage that hath been done them. From hence we may observe; That a Two-fold Offence may be committed against our Neigh bour." ་ "" 1. An Affront, or Neglect of his Perfon. Which must be Attoned by Reconciliation, 2. Damage or Injury; not only to his Perfon, but also to the reft of his Concerns. For which, Satisfaction is to be made by Re ftitution. And |
