to_o take_v thy_o guilt_n away_o 2._o a_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n though_o he_o pardon_v may_v yet_o deny_v the_o manifestation_n of_o it_o be_v because_o hereby_o god_n will_v make_v we_o

of_o god_n favour_n do_v not_o present_o break_v through_o the_o cloud_n that_o so_o david_n may_v feel_v how_o bitter_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o sin_n against_o god_n as_o god_n suffer_v isaac_n

will_v kill_v and_o wound_v those_o who_o he_o intend_v to_o make_v alive_a he_o will_v bruise_v they_o and_o break_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v judge_v the_o seem_a good_a in_o sin_n to_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o real_a evil_n that_o follow_v it_o 3._o and_o from_o this_o second_o issue_v a_o three_o reason_n viz._n to_o make_v we_o more_o watchful_a and_o diligent_a against_o the_o time_n to_o come_v peter_n bitterness_n of_o soul_n be_v a_o special_a preservative_n against_o the_o like_a temptation_n as_o bitter_a potion_n kill_v the_o worm_n in_o child_n stomach_n it_o must_v needs_o

potion_n when_o sin_n present_v itself_o certain_o the_o heart-aches_a that_o paul_n find_v afterward_o though_o pardon_v for_o his_o former_a persecution_n be_v like_o a_o flame_a sword_n to_o keep_v he_o off_o from_o such_o attempt_n again_o he_o may_v more_o true_o say_v than_o that_o heathen_a do_v he_o will_v not_o buy_v repentance_n so_o dear_a 4._o 4._o by_o reason_n of_o the_o difficulty_n and_o supernatural_a way_n of_o believe_v it_o be_v that_o pardon_n may_v be_v in_o heaven_n when_o we_o can_v apply_v it_o in_o our_o conscience_n hence_o though_o the_o promise_n be_v never_o so_o much_o for_o our_o ease_n and_o thereupon_o infinite_o to_o be_v desire_v yet_o the_o way_n of_o believe_v this_o be_v so_o far_o above_o natural_a conscience_n which_o expect_v justification_n by_o work_n that_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n have_v much_o ado_n to_o close_v with_o it_o therefore_o faith_n be_v not_o like_o other_o grace_n or_o duty_n viz._n love_n of_o god_n humility_n etc._n etc._n which_o have_v some_o obscure_a footstep_n in_o the_o natural_a dictate_v of_o conscience_n but_o it_o be_v whole_o supernatural_a yea_o adam_n in_o the_o state_n of_o integrity_n know_v not_o this_o kind_n of_o believe_v in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o mediator_n for_o as_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n viz._n christ_n be_v only_o by_o revelation_n no_o council_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n can_v have_v excogitated_a such_o a_o truth_n so_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v the_o hand_n or_o organ_n apply_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v a_o duty_n not_o manifest_v by_o humane_a light_n but_o whole_o from_o above_o and_o as_o flesh_n and_o blood_n do_v not_o reveal_v to_o we_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n so_o neither_o that_o we_o be_v to_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n only_o by_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n hence_o the_o scripture_n make_v faith_n the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n into_o our_o heart_n meet_v with_o much_o contrariety_n and_o opposition_n of_o doubt_n and_o unbelief_n no_o wonder_n therefore_o if_o after_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n have_v be_v awaken_v for_o sin_n there_o remain_v some_o commotion_n a_o long_a while_n after_o even_o as_o the_o sea_n after_o tempest_n &_o wind_n though_o they_o be_v allay_v yet_o for_o some_o space_n after_o roar_v and_o rage_v not_o leave_v its_o trouble_n

not_o be_v comfort_v because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o comfort_n flow_v in_o the_o way_n we_o look_v for_o viz._n by_o work_v and_o for_o this_o reason_n though_o david_n hear_v nathan_n pronounce_v his_o

two_o material_a objection_n be_v to_o be_v answer_v and_o then_o i_o shall_v proceed_v 1._o the_o first_o be_v if_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o regenerate_a yet_o cover_v and_o not_o impute_v how_o will_v this_o stand_v with_o the_o omnisciency_n truth_n and_o holiness_n of_o god_n his_o omnisciency_n for_o he_o can_v but_o see_v sin_n if_o it_o be_v there_o his_o truth_n for_o god_n must_v needs_o

be_v in_o he_o this_o the_o learned_a among_o the_o papist_n do_v much_o urge_v pererius_n tiriws_n etc._n etc._n at_o most_o say_v suarez_n the_o justificatione_n it_o make_v remission_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o remission_n of_o the_o punishment_n not_o of_o the_o offence_n or_o fault_n the_o very_a same_o be_v urge_v by_o antinomist_n last_o how_o do_v it_o consist_v with_o god_n holiness_n for_o he_o must_v needs_o hate_v sin_n in_o whosoever_o he_o find_v it_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o saint_n to_o have_v sin_n in_o they_o and_o yet_o god_n not_o to_o impute_v it_o to_o they_o seem_v a_o contradiction_n but_o to_o all_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a as_o for_o god_n omnisciency_n none_o say_v but_o by_o that_o god_n behold_v sin_n where_o it_o be_v and_o in_o that_o sense_n sin_n be_v not_o at_o all_o say_v to_o be_v cover_v for_o he_o know_v all_o in_o man_n as_o for_o his_o truth_n god_n do_v judge_n as_o the_o thing_n be_v for_o as_o he_o see_v sin_n so_o he_o judge_v sin_n to_o be_v in_o they_o and_o accord_a to_o that_o eternal_a rule_n lay_v down_o psal_n 89.32_o 33_o he_o chastise_v they_o with_o the_o rod_n though_o he_o take_v not_o his_o love_a kindness_n from_o they_o so_o that_o god_n do_v not_o judge_v thing_n otherwise_o then_o they_o be_v and_o as_o for_o his_o holiness_n he_o be_v not_o only_o angry_a with_o their_o sin_n but_o also_o will_v proceed_v to_o their_o eternal_a condemnation_n be_v it_o not_o for_o christ_n their_o surety_n so_o that_o their_o sin_n be_v punish_v though_o not_o in_o their_o own_o person_n neither_o be_v this_o a_o take_v away_o of_o sin_n only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o punishment_n but_o of_o the_o offence_n also_o god_n be_v whole_o reconcile_v with_o his_o people_n though_o the_o corruption_n which_o be_v remove_v by_o sanctification_n not_o justification_n be_v by_o degree_n purge_v away_o the_o second_o objection_n be_v how_o can_v god_n see_v sin_n see_v they_o have_v christ_n righteousness_n and_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o that_o 2._o therefore_o god_n must_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v without_o any_o sin_n at_o all_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o when_o we_o say_v christ_n righteousness_n be_v make_v they_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v subjective_o answ_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o quality_n inherent_a in_o they_o for_o then_o indeed_o god_n can_v not_o see_v sin_n in_o they_o but_o relative_o he_o be_v their_o mediator_n and_o by_o his_o obedience_n they_o be_v acquit_v so_o that_o the_o righteousness_n be_v in_o christ_n but_o by_o faith_n it_o become_v they_o not_o formal_o but_o as_o the_o merit_n for_o which_o god_n do_v justify_v they_o and_o god_n do_v account_v it_o to_o they_o as_o they_o now_o this_o be_v no_o contradiction_n to_o be_v sinful_a in_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n acquit_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o it_o be_v true_a those_o expression_n of_o make_v christ_n righteousness_n a_o formal_a righteousness_n or_o as_o other_o a_o material_a righteousness_n and_o those_o disputation_n whether_o christ_n active_a or_o passive_a obedience_n both_o or_o either_o of_o they_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o have_v much_o darken_a the_o question_n whereas_o if_o we_o consider_v of_o it_o as_o a_o relative_a righteousness_n perform_v by_o our_o surety_n in_o our_o stead_n the_o matter_n will_v be_v make_v much_o clear_a yet_o i_o speak_v not_o this_o as_o if_o christ_n active_a obedience_n be_v not_o make_v we_o as_o in_o time_n may_v be_v show_v i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o observation_n out_o of_o the_o text_n which_o be_v it_o that_o those_o only_o do_v esteem_n pardon_v of_o sin_n as_o a_o blessedness_n who_o feel_v inward_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n david_n here_o in_o this_o psalm_n be_v deep_o wound_v with_o the_o guilt_n of_o his_o sin_n judge_v not_o his_o kingdom_n his_o wealth_n his_o conquest_n over_o enemy_n a_o
