5. Again, Though Moses stood between God and them, and was a Mediator between God and them, and did sometimes make an Atonement, as in the ca•e of the Golden Calf, when they had sinned; yet notwithstanding, he destroyed th•ee thousand of them: Peradventure, saith he, (after he had done it) I shall m•ke an Atonement for your sin, Exod. 32.•0. And he steps in to God for them: And the L•rd said unto Moses, whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot ou• of my Book: and, I have heard thee, saith he; nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. Now Jesus, he makes an Atonement, slays none, neither doth God the Father make any reserve with him, he freely forgives those that he makes Atonement for, all at once without any reserves, or after reckonings.
