The truly blessed man

2. In removing this Guilt, God turns away his Vindictive eye from it: though the Sin remains, and the merit too, yet God will no longer look on him as a Guilty Sinner; he will not see iniquity in him; the man deserves that he should; but God is resolved that he will overlook it, as a thing out of sight; he hath nothing to lay to the man• charge, nor will he hear of any Charge laid against him, Rom. 8.33. and this is aptly expressed by his ⟨p. 69⟩covering it, for if he should mark, who could stand? Psal. 130.3.

3. Hereupon the Guilt comes to be utterly lost; it is a strange expression, Jer. 50 20. The Iniquity of Israel shall be sought for▪ and there shall be none, and the Sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; alas! if search be made, there is enough to be found, that hath been sinful and provoking; but it refers to punishment, which presumeth Guilt, and so there shall be none found. When they are put on trial for their lives, and enquiry is made, What Sins are to be charged on such? the answer is, there are none to be found, they stand condemned for none: and why? for they are cast into the Sea; they are all blotted out of the book of accounts; the Indictment against them is defaced; they are covered as a thing that is buried out of sight, as one that is dead and forgotten; they are blotted out as a Cloud,
