Conclusion 4.

:37p. 17

[Take away mine Iniquity] The word, Take away, signifies a Causing to pass away, and indeed therein, a passing by. Whence we have this Conclusion.

:38p. 17

In Justification the Great God causes the Sin of Men, to pass away, without Notice of it.

In Iustification the Great God causes the Sin of Men, to pass away, without Notice of it.

:39p. 17–19

Sin is passed by, and made to pass away, when it is Forgiven to us. Our God therein says unto us, as in 2 Sam. 12. 13. The Lord hath put away thy Sin. As we do by Gods Law, in Sinning, so God does by our Sin in Forgiving. Hence the same word, is used for both. In Sinning we pass by His Law, as a thing not worthy of our Notice; thus in Forgiving, He passes by our Sin, without any such Notice of it, as to Damn us, or to Judge us, for the same. Our sin becomes now, in some sort as tho' it had never been at all; but as 'tis said, in Jer. 50. 20. Iniquity shall be sought ⟨p. 18⟩
