1. Sin is taken away by Justification, when the Atonement being accepted for the Sinner, he is pardoned, and his Guilt removed. As long as the Law makes its demands of the sinner personally, so long his sin lieth upon him, & he is Guilty; but when this pardon is bestowed, he ceaseth legally to be a Sinner, i. e. He is not a Guilty one, because he is discharged from the Sentence that was out against him: his sin is in that regard as if it had never been; we read in, Jer. 50. 20. In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and th•re shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon &c. And this is done by Gods accepting▪ of a• Atonement, when he saith as, Job 33. 24▪ Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom
