What David expresseth by Sin Psal. 40.6. is expressed by For sin, Heb. 10.6. both places intend the sin-offering, therefore you still argue against your self and for us: it is called a sin-offering because sin was typically imputed to it; it is said to be for sin, because it was offered for the expiation of sin; the same offering is said to be a sin-offering in respect of its nature, and said to be for sin, that is for the expiation of sin in respect of its use: the use of a thing destroyeth not the nature of it. The particle For besides the taking away of sin, notes the manner of its taking away, viz. by way of expiation.
