"God's mercy is overfull."

Certainly, there is more of God's mercy than in men's sins; our ephah is full, but God's mercy is overfull. And there is enough in God to supply all our wants;
—Thomas Manton

If your sins were 'as red as crimson,' saith God, 'I will make them as white as wool,' &c., Isa. i. 18. Crimson sins, double-dyed sins, it is no matter what they are, if we come to God. There is more mercy in him than sin in us.
—Richard Sibbes
