But in the second place, grant, that there were no legal sacrifices 1appointed for some sins, (as indeed particular sacrifices were commonly for sins, either of ignorance, or if wilful, not of such an high and mortal guilt; particular (I say) for that feast of expiation was general) yet there is no consequence in the world, that therefore there was no pardon to be sued out. How foolish then were David and Manasseh, in suing out pardon for their blood-guiltiness, if there were no such thing allowed by God? How gross is this error? If this doctrine were true, then most of those that are reckoned as godly in the Old Testament could have no pardon, because many of them did fall into such gross sins, for which there was no particular sacrifice appointed.
