Thirdly, I said, it implies the execution, or practice of what the mind resolves upon, Psal. 39. vers. 1. I said I will take heed to my ways, 1&c. that is, I did look to my ways, and I am put upon the practice of taking care unto my steps and to my ways: the meaning of the phrase is this, I said I will confess my transgression, I have bethought it so in my mind, and it is good and meet so to do, I have purposed and resolved in my will, and am actually put on the practice of it.
Thirdly, I said, it implies the execution, or practice of what the minde resolves upon, Psal. 39. vers. 1. I said I wil take heed to my waies, 1&c. that is, I did look to my waies, and I am put upon the practice of taking care unto my steps and to my waies: the meaning of the phrase is this, I said I will confesse my transgression, I have bethought it so in my minde, and it is good and meet so to do, I have purposed and resolved in my will, and am actually put on the practice of it.
I said I will confess my transgression. 1The Septuagint interpret this place thus [Greek or Hebrew]. I said I will confess my transgression, I will confess against my self: upon which one hath this note, Many confess their sins, but they blame not themselves but God, the stars, and what not. It is worth your notice, that sin is expressed by three words in this Text; first, transgression, secondly, iniquity, and thirdly, sin; I will confess my transgression, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. There are but four places as I remember in the Scripture where in these three words are joined together in one verse, Transgression, Iniquity, and Sin.
