For his own sake he blots out our sins:
1 For his own glory, that his name may be magnified and feared, Psal. 130.4. Psal. 103.1, 2, 3.
2 For the honour of Christ, he doth it, that he may be honoured through Christ, Ephes. 1.6, 7.
3 For his own sake, that is, without any desert of ours, yea sometimes ⟨p. 88⟩without any desire of ours, Isa. 43, 22, 23, 24, 25. Thou hast not called upon me, nor offered sacrifices unto me, &c. yet I, even I am he, that for mine own names sake putteth away thine iniquities, and will remember thy sins no more.
