2. There is Deliverance from Blood-guiltiness after it is Contracted, by the Commission of Murder: i. e. The Merciful God has admitted Sinners to Repentance, even in this Case: And there is forgiveness of it, and cleansing from it, through the Blood of Christ. It has been repented of we see in our Text, & it has been pardoned, 2 Sam. XII. 13. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, the Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Manasseh was a great Sinner and Murderer; he filled Jerusalem with the Innocent Blood which he shed; yet was he afterward an Eminent Penitent, and obtained Mercy.
