Sermons preached

The Object of Pardon, about which it is conversant, is set forth under divers Expressions, Iniquity, Transgression, and Sin. As in Law, many words of like import and signification are heaped up and put together, to make the Deed and Legal Instrument more comprehensive, and effectual. I observe it the rather, because when God proclaims his Name, the same words are used, Exod 34. 7.—Taking away Iniquity, Transgression, and Sin. Well, we have seen the meaning of the Expression. Why doth the holy Man of God use such vigour, and vehemency of inculcation, Blessed is the Man! and again, blessed is the Man; partly with respect to his own case. David knew how sweet it was to have Sin pardoned; he had felt the bitterness of Sin in his own Soul, to the drying up of his Blood, and therefore he doth express his sense of Pardon in the most lively terms, Blessed is the Man whose Iniquity is forgiven, &c. And then partly too with respect to those for whose use this Instruction was written, that they might not look upon it as a light and trivial thing, but be throughly apprehensive of the worth of so great a Privilege, Blessed, happy, thrice happy they who have obtained Pardon of their Sins, and Justification by Jesus Christ.
