that_o all_o the_o world_n be_v become_v guilty_a before_o god_n that_o be_v just_o chargeable_a with_o their_o crime_n and_o liable_a to_o his_o judgement_n the_o act_n of_o sin_n be_v transient_a

a_o sentence_n shall_v pass_v upon_o they_o no_o excuse_n shall_v suspend_v the_o judgement_n nor_o mitigate_v the_o immediate_a execution_n of_o it_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n contain_v the_o

creature_n be_v infinite_o above_o the_o impression_n of_o evil_n yet_o as_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o one_o that_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n with_o a_o impure_a desire_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v adultery_n with_o she_o in_o his_o heart_n though_o the_o innocence_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v unstained_a so_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v act_n of_o foul_a ingratitude_n against_o his_o

law_n for_o though_o subordinate_a judge_n have_v only_o a_o limit_a power_n and_o must_v acquit_v or_o condemn_v according_a to_o the_o law_n yet_o the_o sovereign_n may_v dispense_v with_o it_o this_o be_v declare_v in_o scripture_n by_o god_n himself_o i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o blot_v out_o thy_o transgression_n for_o my_o name_n sake_n 43._o he_o repeat_v it_o with_o a_o emphasis_n he_o be_v proclaim_v with_o this_o royal_a title_n the_o lord_n gracious_a and_o merciful_a pardon_v iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o dispensation_n of_o divine_a sovereignty_n to_o pardon_v the_o guilty_a it_o be_v true_a god_n pardon_v as_o a_o father_n according_a to_o that_o most_o gracious_a promise_n 3._o i_o will_v spare_v they_o as_o a_o father_n spare_v his_o son_n that_o serve_v he_o but_o as_o invest_v with_o the_o dignity_n of_o a_o sovereign_n our_o saviour_n direct_v we_o in_o the_o perfect_a form_n of_o prayer_n dictate_v to_o his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o our_o father_n sit_v in_o heaven_n upon_o a_o high_a throne_n from_o whence_o he_o pronounce_v our_o pardon_n his_o majesty_n be_v equal_o glorious_a with_o his_o mercy_n in_o that_o bless_a dispensation_n his_o royal_a supremacy_n be_v more_o conspicuous_a in_o the_o exercise_n of_o mercy_n towards_o repent_v sinner_n than_o in_o the_o

his_o enemy_n it_o be_v the_o peculiar_a prerogative_n of_o god_n to_o pardon_v sin_n the_o prophet_n challenge_v all_o the_o repute_a deity_n of_o the_o heathen_n as_o defective_a in_o this_o royal_a

inconsistent_a with_o a_o depend_v authority_n a_o creature_n be_v as_o incapable_a of_o the_o supremacy_n of_o god_n in_o pardon_v sin_n as_o of_o his_o omnipotence_n to_o create_v a_o world_n for_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n alone_o have_v the_o key_n of_o life_n and_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o our_o saviour_n declare_v that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n have_v power_n to_o forgive_v sin_n the_o answer_n to_o this_o will_v be_v clear_a by_o consider_v there_o be_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n the_o divine_a nature_n that_o original_o belong_v to_o he_o and_o be_v

of_o christ_n the_o principle_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o the_o actual_a suffering_n be_v sole_o in_o the_o humane_a nature_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n they_o be_v
