First sentence: IT will be in the memory of some that when, nearly three years past, Almighty God (for "secret faults," which He knoweth, and from which, I trust, He willed thereby the rather to "cleanse" me,) allowed me to be deprived for a time of this my office among you, I was endeavouring to mitigate the stern doctrine of the heavy character of a Christian's sins, by pointing out the mercies of God which might reassure the penitent, the means of his restoration, the earnests of his pardon.
