Now when Sins are called Debts, or said to be forgiven, it's a Metaphor from pecuniary Debts, as the Debtor was said luere when he paid his Money; and it is generally used of any that are obnoxious to Punishment; so the Grecians say [Greek or Hebrew], and the Latins poenas debere; so the Hebrew Word [Greek or Hebrew], is used both for Debts and Guilt, Dan. 1.10. Ezek. 18.7. as also for Sin, Exod. 32. and [Greek or Hebrew], which is applied to a Sinner, James 2.20. is also frequently used of Punishment, as Mat. 5.21, 22. In Sin there is the obliquity and dissonancy from the Law of God, and this is not called a Debt, for we do not owe this to God, but the contrary, Obedience, and Holiness; in Sin there is Guilt and Obligation unto Eternal Punishment, and this is called a Debt, &c.
