here_o be_v the_o pardon_n itself_o which_o for_o the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_n be_v redouble_v i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o blot_v out_o thy_o transgression_n and_o will_v not_o remember_v th●_n sin_n three_o here_o be_v the_o motive_n or_o impulsive_a cause_n that_o prevail_v with_o god_n thi●_n to_o proclaim_v pardon_n unto_o guilty_a malefactor_n and_n that_o be_v for_o his_o own_o sake_n i_o be_o h●_n that_o blot_v out_o thy_o transgression_n for_o m●_n own_o sake_n 1._o as_o for_o the_o first_o particular_a i_o even_o ●_o be_o he_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o god_n seem_v more_o to_o triumph_v in_o the_o glory_n o●_n his_o pardon_v grace_n and_o mercy_n tha●_n he_o do_v in_o any_o other_o of_o his_o attribute_n i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o such_o a_o stately_a preface_n must_v needs_o usher_v in_o somewhat_o wherein_o god_n and_o his_o honour_n be_v much_o advance_v be_v it_o therefore_o i_o be_o he_o that_o spread_v forth_o the_o heaven_n and_o martial_v all_o their_o host_n that_o hang_v up_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o air_n that_o breathe_v forth_o all_o the_o creature_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o it_o that_o pour_v out_o the_o great_a deep_n and_o measure_v they_o all_o in_o the_o hollow_a of_o my_o hand_n that_o ride_v upon_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o make_v the_o cloud_n the_o dust_n of_o my_o foot_n this_o though_o it_o may_v awe_v and_o amuse_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n yet_o god_n count_v it_o not_o his_o chief_a glory_n but_o ay_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o blot_v out_o transgression_n and_o forgive_v iniquity_n so_o we_o find_v when_o god_n condescend_v to_o show_v moses_n his_o glory_n he_o proclaim_v not_o the_o lord_n great_a and_o terrible_a that_o form_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o word_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o can_v destroy_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o nostril_n no_o but_o he_o pass_v before_o he_o with_o a_o still_a voice_n and_o proclaim_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n the_o lord_n god_n gracious_a and_o merciful_a long-suffering_a and_o abundant_a in_o goodness_n and_o truth_n forgive_a iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n so_o that_o when_o god_n will_v be_v see_v in_o his_o chief_a state_n and_o glory_n he_o reveal_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o sin-pardoning_a god_n i_o even_o i_o be_o he_o that_o blot_v out_o thy_o transgression_n and_o will_v not_o remember_v thy_o sin_n 2._o as_o for_o the_o pardon_n itself_o thing_n blot_v out_o of_o sin_n imply_v two_o thing_n that_o be_v express_v in_o two_o thing_n i_o be_o he_o that_o blot_v out_o and_o will_v not_o remember_v blot_v out_o imply_v first_o write_v that_o sin_n be_v write_v that_o our_o transgression_n be_v write_v down_o and_o write_v they_o be_v in_o a_o twofold_a book_n the_o one_o be_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n remembrance_n which_o he_o blot_v out_o when_o he_o justify_v a_o sinner_n the_o other_o be_v the_o book_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n which_o he_o blot_v out_o when_o he_o give_v we_o peace_n and_o assurance_n and_o oftentimes_o these_o follow_v one_o upon_o the_o other_o when_o god_n blot_v his_o remembrance-book_n in_o heaven_n that_o blot_n diffuse_v and_o spread_v itself_o even_o to_o the_o book_n of_o conscience_n and_o blot_v out_o all_o that_o be_v write_v there_o also_o man_n blot_v his_o conscience_n by_o commit_v sin_n but_o god_n blot_v it_o by_o pardon_v it_o he_o lay_v a_o blot_n of_o christ_n blood_n upon_o a_o blot_n of_o our_o guilt_n and_o this_o be_v such_o a_o blot_n as_o leave_v the_o conscience_n of_o a_o sinner_n pure_a and_o clean_a than_o it_o find_v it_o second_o blot_v out_o of_o transgression_n imply_v a_o legal_a discharge_n of_o the_o debt_n a_o book_n that_o be_v once_o blot_v and_o cross_v stand_v void_a in_o law_n whatever_o the_o sum_n and_o debt_n be_v before_o yet_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o book_n signify_v the_o payment_n of_o the_o debt_n so_o be_v it_o here_o i_o will_v blot_v out_o thy_o transgression_n that_o be_v i_o will_v acquit_v thou_o of_o all_o thy_o debt_n i_o will_v never_o charge_v they_o upon_o thou_o i_o will_v dash_v they_o all_o out_o i_o will_v not_o leave_v so_o much_o as_o one_o item_n not_o one_o sin_n legible_a against_o thou_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a meaning_n of_o this_o expression_n and_o notion_n of_o blot_v out_o of_o transgression_n and_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v express_v by_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o word_n and_o i_o will_v not_o remember_v thy_o sin_n not_o that_o there_o be_v true_o any_o forgetfulness_n in_o god_n no_o his_o memory_n retain_v every_o sin_n we_o have_v commit_v sure_a and_o firm_a than_o if_o all_o our_o sin_n be_v write_v in_o leave_n of_o brass_n but_o god_n speak_v here_o as_o he_o do_v elsewhere_o frequent_o in_o scripture_n by_o a_o gracious_a condescension_n and_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v interpret_v only_o by_o the_o effect_n i_o will_v not_o remember_v their_o sin_n that_o be_v i_o will_v deal_v so_o merciful_o with_o they_o as_o if_o indeed_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v the_o least_o of_o their_o provocation_n i_o will_v be_v to_o they_o as_o one_o that_o have_v utter_o forget_v all_o their_o injury_n so_o that_o this_o not_o remember_v of_o sin_n deny_v not_o the_o eminent_a act_n of_o god_n knowledge_n but_o only_o the_o transient_a act_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o be_v no_o more_o than_o his_o promise_a not_o to_o punish_v sin_n as_o if_o god_n have_v say_v i_o will_v not_o be_v avenge_v on_o they_o nor_o punish_v they_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o here_o we_o may_v see_v what_o abundant_a security_n god_n give_v his_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o be_v implead_v for_o those_o sin_n which_o once_o they_o have_v attain_v the_o pardon_n of_o they_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o his_o book_n of_o remembrance_n and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o fear_v he_o will_v accuse_v they_o without_o book_n he_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v utter_o forget_v and_o shall_v never_o be_v remember_v by_o he_o against_o they_o any_o more_o three_o consider_v the_o impulsive_a cause_n that_o move_v god_n hand_n as_o it_o be_v to_o blot_v out_o our_o transgression_n and_o that_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n without_o himself_o but_o say_v god_n i_o will_v do_v it_o for_o my_o own_o sake_n this_o admit_v of_o a_o twofold_a sense_n efficient_a and_o final_a first_o for_o my_o own_o sake_n that_o be_v because_o it_o be_v my_o pleasure_n i_o will_v do_v it_o because_o i_o will_v do_v it_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o royal_a prerogative_n of_o god_n alone_o to_o render_v his_o will_n for_o his_o reason_n for_o because_o his_o will_n be_v altogether_o sovereign_a and_o independent_a that_o must_v needs_o be_v most_o reasonable_a that_o he_o will_v if_o any_o shall_v question_v why_o the_o lord_n pass_v by_o fall_v angel_n and_o stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o take_v up_o fall_v man_n and_o why_o among_o man_n he_o have_v reject_v many_o wise_a and_o noble_a and_o have_v choose_v those_o that_o be_v mean_a and_o contemptible_a why_o he_o have_v gather_v up_o and_o lodge_v in_o his_o own_o bosom_n those_o that_o wallow_v in_o the_o filth_n and_o defilement_n of_o the_o worst_a sin_n when_o other_o be_v leave_v to_o perish_v under_o far_o less_o guilt_n the_o most_o reasonable_a answer_n that_o can_v be_v give_v of_o all_o be_v this_o i_o have_v do_v it_o for_o my_o own_o sake_n i_o have_v do_v it_o because_o it_o be_v my_o will_n and_o pleasure_n to_o do_v it_o even_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o god_n give_v unto_o moses_n i_o will_v be_v gracious_a because_o i_o will_v be_v gracious_a and_o i_o will_v show_v mercy_n because_o i_o will_v show_v mercy_n exod._n 33.19_o which_o be_v the_o same_o answer_v our_o saviour_n give_v to_o himself_o luke_n 10.21_o even_o so_o father_n because_o so_o it_o seem_v good_a in_o thy_o sight_n second_o for_o my_o own_o sake_n we_o may_v take_v it_o in_o a_o final_a sense_n that_o be_v i_o will_v do_v it_o because_o of_o that_o great_a honour_n and_o glory_n that_o will_v accrue_v to_o my_o great_a name_n by_o it_o the_o ultimate_a and_o chief_a end_n of_o god_n in_o all_o his_o action_n be_v his_o own_o glory_n god_n bestow_v pardon_n and_o salvation_n upon_o we_o chief_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n even_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o free_a grace_n our_o salvation_n be_v therefore_o accomplish_v that_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o declare_v to_o the_o world_n how_o merciful_a and_o gracious_a god_n be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o our_o good_a as_o for_o his_o glory_n not_o for_o our_o sake_n
