CHAP. I.
Containing the Preface or Introduction.
Holy David in the front of this Psalm, shows us, wherein true happiness consists; not in beauty, honour, riches, (the Worlds Trinity) but in the forgiveness of sin. Vers. 1. Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven. The Hebrew word to forgive *signifies to carry out of sight; which ⟨p. 2⟩well agrees with that, Jerem. 50. 20. In those days (saith the Lord) the sins of Judah shall be sought for, and they shall not be found. This is an incomprehensible blessing, and such as lays a foundation for all other mercies. I shall but glance at it, and lay down these five Assertions about it.
