A DISCOURSE OF The Pardon of Sin.
Psalm 32.1, 2. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputes not iniquity.
This Psalm, as Grotius thinks, was made to be sung upon the Annual day of the Jewish Expiation, when a general confession of their sins was made. 'Tis one of David's penitential Psalms, supposed to be composed by him after the Murder of Uriah, and the pronouncing of his pardon by Nathan, v. 5. and rather a Psalm of Thanksgiving. 'Tis called Maschil, a Psalm of understanding. Maschil is translated eruditio, intelligentia, and notes some excellent Doctrine in the Psalm, not known by the light of Nature. Blessed [Greek or Hebrew]] Blessednesses. Ex omni parte beatus. Three words there are to discover the nature of sin; and three words to discover the nature of pardon.
