Fourthly, Here is laid down the course that the Psalmist took to procure pardon of sin, that is in my Text, I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Thus I have brought you by the hand to the Text. I shall give you a short paraphrase of the words: I said, this word implies in Scripture phrase three things: First, it notes a deliberation or consideration of ⟨p. 3⟩the mind, Psal. 14. vers. 1. 1The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God: (that is) he hath thought so in his mind, 2that there is no God. Psal. 30. vers. 6. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved: that is, I thought so. Saying, is not always an act of the tongue, but sometimes of the mind: I said I will confess my sin, that is, I have bethought my self, and considered in my mind, that it is meet for me to get pardon and to confess my sin to God. I said, It notes secondly the purpose and the resolution of the will; so you have it, Psal. 119. vers 57. 3Thou art my portion O Lord, I have said, that I would keep thy words. There saying, is explained to be purposing or resolving of the will.
