§ 32 Thirdly, This season is designed, [Greek or Hebrew], to make Reconciliation for iniquity. To reconcile iniquity; so our Apostle [Greek or Hebrew] renders this expression, Heb. 2. v. 17. [Greek or Hebrew]; to reconcile iniquities. That is, [Greek or Hebrew], to make reconciliation with God for iniquity; to make atonement. The sense of the word [Greek or Hebrew] when applied unto sin, is known and granted. If it be spoken of God, it is to hide, to cover, to pardon sin, to be gracious unto sinners; if of men in the use of any of his institutions, it is to propitiate, appease, atone, make atonement, or reconciliation, as I have elsewhere at large declared. How this was to be done by the Messiah hath been already evinced. This was that work for which he was promised unto our first Parents from the foundation of the world. That he was to do it, we are taught in the Old Testament, how he did it in the Gospel. To expect this work of making atonement for sin, from any other, or to be wrought by any other ways or means, is fully to renounce the first promise, and the Faith of the Fathers from the foundation of the world.
