1Free forgiveness to us, and full satisfaction made to God; by Jesus Christ for us; are not [Greek or Hebrew], things inconsistent with each other: as in its proper place, shall be fully cleared to you. And for denying that to God, which we allow to men; you must know, that man and man stands on even ground. Man is not capable of being wronged, and injured by man, as God is by man. There is no compare betwixt the nature of the offences.

To conclude, man only can freely forgive man, in a private capacity; so far as the wrong concerns himself; but ought not to do so, in a public capacity, as he is a Judge, and bound to execute justice impartially. God is our Law-giver, and Judge. He will not dispense with violations of the Law, but strictly stands on complete satisfaction.
