Q. 6. Sin cannot hurt God: what need then is there of forgiveness?
A. It can wrong him by breaking his Laws, and rejecting his moral government, though it hurt him not: And he will right himself.
Q. 6. What is forgiving Sin?
A. It is by tender Mercy, on the account of Christ's Merits, Satisfaction and Intercession, to forgive the guilt of Sin as it maketh us the due subjects of punishment, and to forgive the punishment of sin, as due by that guilt and the Law of God, so as not to inflict it on us.g
