5. God having forgiven sin, he will call it ⟨p. 4⟩§5no more into remembrance, Jer. 31. 34. the Lord will make an* act of Indemnity, he will not upbraid us with former unkindnesses, or sue us with a cancelled Bond. Micah 7. 19. he will cast our sins into the depth of the sea. Sin shall not be cast in as Cork which riseth up again; but as Lead which sinks to the bottom. How should we all labour for this Covenant-blessing!
