1. Forgiveness of sin is an act of Gods Free Grace. The Greek word to forgive *deciphers the Original of pardon; it ariseth not from any thing inherent in us, but is the pure result of Free Grace. Isa. 43. 25. I, even I am he, that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake. When a Creditor forgives a Debtor, he doth it freely. Pardon of sin is a fine thread spun out of the bowels of Free Grace. Paul cries out, I obtained mercy, 1 Tim. 1. 13. [Greek or Hebrew], I was be-mercied: he who is pardoned, is all bestrewed with mercy. When the Lord pardons a sinner, he doth not pay a Debt, but give a Legacy.
