Mat. 12.32. The Evangelist saith, All other sins may be forgiven, but that against the holy Ghost shall never: Now in that sense, other sins are said to be forgiven, in which sense that is denied to be forgiven: and that is denied to be forgiven, not in respect of Assurance and Declaration to a mans conscience only, but really and indeed. Therefore the sins forgiven are in the like manner forgiven.
1Again, It is plain, That by Pardon is not meant Assurance of Pardon only, because when applied to men, it cannot admit of such a sense. Now the Petition runs thus, That God would forgive us, as we forgive others; and there is no man will explain the later forgiveness of Assurance; and why then the former?
- 1Reas. 2.
1Besides, The equivalent phrase of forgiveness doth evince more then an Assurance of Forgiveness; for when the Scripture calls it blotting out of sin, it is an expression from Debts, which are, as it were written in Gods book, and therefore till he cancelleth them, they do remain in their guilt.
