Forgive us] This forgiveness here asked is a free and full discharge1 from sin and the punishment thereof, without any satisfaction on our part: and this God doth, when he is content for Christs sake, not to impute sin unto us, but to account it as not committed, and the punishment thereof as not due unto us; being fully and freely contented with the all-sufficient satisfaction made by Christ in his death and passion. This forgiveness Hezekias expressed when he said to God, dThou hast cast all our sins behind thy back: and Michah, saying, eHe will subdue our iniquities, and cast all our sins into the bottom of ⟨p. 295⟩the sea. So that our request to God is this, that whereas our sins bind us unto punishment, the Lord would be pleased for his Sons sake, freely to remit all our sins, and never to impute them unto us, and to be fully contented with the suffering of Christ, that the punishment of our sins be never laid upon us.

This forgiuenesse Hezekias expressed when he saide to God, dThou hast cast all our sinnes behinde thy backe: and Michah, saying, eHe will subdue our iniquities, and cast all our sinnes into the bottome of ⟨p. 295⟩the sea. So that our request to God is this, that whereas our sinnes binde vs vnto punishment, the Lord would be pleased for his Sonnes sake, freely to remit all our sinnes, and neuer to impute them vnto vs, and to be fully contented with the suffering of Christ, that the punishment of our sinnes be neuer laide vpon vs.
