2. It doth imply, That God when he hath thus forgiven, deals with a man as no more in that particular a sinner. Therefore David after his murder and adultery are washed away, he is as white as snow in respect of those actual sins; and every true believer repenting, is bound to believe, that God doth this graciously and gloriously to him, That he is no more in Gods account that loathsome leper and unclean person he was.

Therefore David after his murder and adultery are washed away, he is as white as snow in respect of those actuall sinnes; and every true beleever repenting, is bound to beleeve, that God doth this graciously and gloriously to him, That he is no more in Gods account that loathsome leper and unclean person he was.
It doth imply, That God by degrees and in his due time will cover the believers sins, as from his own eyes, so from the believers eyes. So that the guilt of conscience, those arrows of the Almighty, shall not always stick in his heart. Thus as mans love to another, covers a multitude of sins, he will not mention, charge or upbraid the party with them; so doth Gods love cover the multitude of believers sins committed by them, dealing with them as reconciled persons, not upbraiding of them but bestowing all encouraging mercies upon them; so that if we improve this phrase of covering sin no further, we shall split on no rock, and yet he soul have as much comfort as it can rationally desire.
