God continues to forgive the sins of those that are justified,⁠¹⁠ and although they can never fall from the state of justification,⁠²⁠ yet they may, by their sins, fall under God’s fatherly displeasure;⁠³⁠ and in that condition they usually do not have the light of his countenance restored to them, until; they humble themselves, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.⁠⁴⁠
