3. There is a double consideration to be had of the forgiveness which is applied to the Sinner, viz.
1. In respect to his Person and State. The natural state of every Child of Adam, is a state of Condemnation, as he stands Guilty of the Imputation of the First Transgression, and as he is Born under the power of In dwelling Original Sin, by virtue whereof his State is a State of Guilt. Now this state is removed in Justification, in which there are two things done for the person, viz He is set free from Guilt, and Condemnation, and adjudged to Eternal Life; called a passing from death to life, 1 Joh. 3.14. The man is removed from under the Law, and put under Grace, Rom. 6.14 And by this the mans state is secured for Eternity, he is for ever out of the reach of the Law threatening.
