By mercy — By a merciful and just and faithful frame of heart and course of life. Is purged — As they qualify a man to offer up acceptable prayers to God for the pardon of his sins. By fear — By a filial reverence unto God. Depart — They are kept from abusing pardoning mercy, and from returning to folly or wickedness.
