do_v sometime_o afflict_v his_o people_n for_o their_o sin_n so_o that_o they_o can_v be_v in_o every_o sense_n say_v to_o be_v cover_v but_o i_o have_v speak_v large_o of_o this_o already_o answer_v 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 judge_v of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v if_o therefore_o sin_n be_v there_o he_o must_v judge_v it_o to_o be_v there_o otherwise_o we_o make_v he_o like_o the_o wicked_a who_o cover_v sin_n he_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v there_o now_o what_o truth_n be_v this_o to_o say_v of_o a_o regenerate_a man_n he_o be_v cleanse_v and_o wash_v from_o all_o his_o evil_n and_o yet_o his_o evil_n 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 happy_a thing_n but_o pardon_v of_o sin_n now_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o be_v because_o such_o be_v our_o custom_n though_o it_o be_v our_o weakness_n to_o esteem_v of_o mercy_n more_o carendo_fw-la quam_fw-la habendo_fw-la by_o want_v of_o they_o then_o have_v of_o they_o the_o blind_a man_n earnest_o desire_v sight_n the_o lame_a man_n prize_v sound_a limb_n a_o people_n distress_v with_o war_n and_o find_v the_o bitterness_n of_o it_o commend_v peace_n thus_o it_o be_v here_o a_o man_n afflict_a and_o embitter_v in_o his_o soul_n because_o of_o sin_n he_o do_v high_o admire_v forgiveness_n and_o account_v those_o happy_a that_o walk_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n favour_n though_o innocency_n or_o freedom_n from_o sin_n may_v be_v majus_fw-la beneficium_fw-la a_o great_a mercy_n than_o pardon_n and_o reparation_n yet_o this_o be_v dulcius_fw-la beneficium_fw-la a_o more_o sweet_a mercy_n to_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o he_o who_o enjoy_v it_o hence_o that_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v exalt_v god_n permit_v sin_n to_o be_v and_o the_o law_n be_v on_o purpose_n to_o discover_v sin_n and_o aggravate_v it_o that_o christ_n and_o his_o grace_n may_v be_v the_o more_o welcome_a 1_o the_o use_v of_o both_o point_n together_o be_v observation_n 1._o from_o the_o former_a do_v god_n in_o pardon_v cover_v sin_n then_o with_o what_o boldness_n may_v true_a faith_n triumph_n why_o be_v the_o godly_a penitent_n as_o if_o his_o sin_n be_v always_o in_o bloody_a character_n before_o god_n why_o be_v he_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o blood_n of_o christ_n wherein_o these_o egyptian_n be_v drown_v if_o thou_o have_v never_o be_v a_o sinner_n thy_o heart_n will_v not_o have_v tremble_v be_v not_o forgiveness_n make_v of_o a_o sin_n not_o to_o be_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v so_o that_o as_o rachel_n be_v mourn_v for_o her_o child_n because_o they_o be_v not_o so_o may_v thou_o be_v rejoice_v because_o thy_o sin_n be_v not_o and_o although_o they_o be_v not_o cover_v out_o of_o thy_o sight_n yet_o if_o cover_v out_o of_o god_n sight_n that_o be_v thy_o blessedness_n better_o have_v they_o rise_v up_o always_o in_o thy_o conscience_n than_o once_o before_o god_n from_o the_o second_o we_o may_v be_v instruct_v 2._o who_o be_v the_o b●st_a preacher_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o be_v gospel-preacher_n even_o such_o who_o make_v deep_a incision_n and_o wound_n first_o in_o man_n conscience_n by_o the_o law_n the_o only_a way_n for_o a_o minister_n to_o make_v his_o auditor_n relish_n and_o savour_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n indeed_o be_v to_o keep_v they_o in_o a_o godly_a sense_n and_o apprehension_n of_o their_o infirmity_n we_o be_v not_o in_o our_o first_o conversion_n only_o to_o have_v
