But this forgiveness of sins, what doth it free us from?
But this forgivenesse of sinnes, what doth it free us from?
In sin, we must consider two things; the fault and the punishment. Now consider sin as it is in it self, and as it respects the sinner, as acted by him, as respecting the fault of the sinner, it is [Greek or Hebrew], a transgression of the Law; The punishment is death; as it respects the sinner, it is guilt. The sin is not guilt, but the guilt the sinners. For instance, a man that hath told a lye, or sworn an oath, the act is past, but a thing remains which we call the guilt. As if a man commit murder or adultery, the act is past, but yet if he sleep, or walk or wake, the guilt follows him. If he live an hundred years, he is a murderer still, and an adulterer still, the guilt follows him; and nothing can take away the murder or adultery from the soul, but the blood of Christ applied by faith.
