WHereas there are three things to be considered in sin; the transi∣ent action, the irregularity or defor∣mity of that action, and the fault re∣maining upon the sinner with the guilt of punishment coherent there∣unto;
we understand that sin is then forgiven us, when not onely the fault and irregularity is not im∣puted unto us, but also the punish∣ment and condemnation due unto us for the same is pardoned, and we are acquitted from such guilt and li∣ablenesse to justice; seeing we are not said to forgive the offences of our brethren, but when we free them from the satisfaction and perfor∣mance due from them; and that most certainly we are not commanded to ask any thing of God, but what God is willing to grant; and Christ hath cancell'd the obligation of our whole debt, having made perfect payment and satisfaction thereof in our be∣halfe.
