(2.) A second is from the Nature of Forgiveness it self: When Sin is pardoned, it is said to be blotted out; now can any think, that blotting out is only in a Man's own Conscience and Feeling? It is more immediately out of God's Book, (it being a Metaphor taken from blotting or crossing Debts out of a Book of Accounts, &c.) and not only the Guilt that lies upon our Hearts; therefore these are very separable the one from the other. A Man may feel no Weight or Burden of Sin upon him, and yet it stand in red Characters in God's Book: and on the contrary, a Sin may be blotted out there, yet be very heavy and terrible in a Man's feeling and apprehension. So Sin pardoned is said to be covered or hid, not in respect of us, as if it were taken from our Sight, but from God's Sight; and he is said to cast our Sins behind his Back.

(3.) This Explication, as the whole Sense of the Petition, would overthrow all other Scriptures, which make no Pardon of Sin to be, but where the Subject hath such Qualifications as this in the Text, viz. forgiving others, &c.
