The righteous will rejoice
And in the discovery of the divine perfections, the righteous will rejoice with joy unspeakable, far from feeling any painful sorrow or shame for any of those past transgressions, which were long since blotted out as a cloud, washed away by the blood of the Lamb. It will be more than enough for them that all the transgressions which they had committed shall not once be mentioned to them, to their disadvantage, and that their sins, and transgressions, and iniquities shall be remembered no more, to their condemnation. This is the plain meaning of the promise. And this all the children of God shall find true, to their everlasting comfort.

11. And in the discovery of the divine perfections, the righteous will rejoice with joy unspeakable; far from feeling any painful sorrow or shame, for any of those past transgressions, which were long since blotted out as a cloud, washed away by the blood of the Lamb. It will be abundantly sufficient for them, that all the transgressions which they had committed, shall not be once mentioned unto them, to their disadvantage; that their sins and transgressions and iniquities shall be remembered no more, to their condemnation. This is the plain meaning of the promise: and this all the children of God shall find true, to their everlasting comfort.
