the_o term_n be_v consider_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o sin_n very_o considerable_a 1._o macula_n the_o blot_n defilement_n and_o blackness_n of_o sin_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o absence_n and_o privation_n of_o that_o moral●_n rectitude_n the_o want_n of_o that_o whiteness_n innocence_n and_o righteousness_n which_o the_o holy_a and_o clean_a law_n of_o the_o lord_n require_v to_o be_v in_o the_o action_n inclination_n &_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n sin_n 2._o there_o be_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v somewhat_o which_o issue_v from_o this_o blot_n and_o blackness_n of_o sin_n according_a to_o which_o the_o person_n be_v liable_a and_o obnoxious_a to_o eternal_a punishment_n this_o be_v the_o debt_n of_o sin_n the_o law-obligation_n to_o satisfaction_n passive_a for_o sin_n just_a as_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o debt_n so_o these_o two_o be_v in_o sin_n for_o when_o a_o man_n borrow_v money_n and_o profuse_o and_o lavish_o spend_v it_o this_o be_v unjustice_n against_o his_o brother_n in_o matter_n of_o his_o good_n and_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o eight_o commandment_n again_o this_o breach_n in_o relation_n to_o policy_n to_o the_o magistrate_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n put_v this_o break_a man_n under_o another_o relation_n that_o he_o be_v formal_o a_o debtor_n and_o so_o it_o be_v just_a that_o he_o either_o pay_v the_o money_n or_o suffer_v for_o this_o act_n of_o unjustice_n and_o satisfy_v the_o law_n of_o the_o five_o commandment_n which_o be_v that_o he_o satisfy_v the_o law_n and_o the_o magistrate_n the_o public_a father_n tutor_n of_o a_o wrong_a and_o oppress_a brother_n now_o here_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o debt_n sin_n 1._o a_o unjust_a thing_n a_o hurt_v of_o our_o brother_n in_o his_o good_n this_o be_v a_o blot_n and_o a_o thing_n privative_o contrary_a to_o justice_n 2._o a_o just_a thing_n a_o guilt_n a_o just_a debt_n according_a to_o which_o it_o be_v most_o just_a that_o the_o break_a man_n either_o pay_v or_o suffer_v now_o these_o two_o as_o all_o contrary_n do_v faciunt_fw-la numerum_fw-la they_o make_v a_o number_n as_o just_a and_o unjust_a must_v be_v two_o thing_n and_o two_o contrary_a thing_n i_o know_v there_o be_v cavil_n and_o subtlety_n of_o schoolman_n touch_v the_o blot_n or_o macula_n peccati_fw-la and_o reatus_fw-la the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v the_o naked_a truth_n which_o i_o have_v declare_v some_o say_v the_o blot_n of_o sin_n be_v that_o uncleanness_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v wash_v away_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o very_a guilt_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v whole_o remove_v in_o justification_n but_o i_o easy_o answer_v the_o blot_n of_o sin_n have_v divers_a relation_n and_o these_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o as_o 1._o there_o be_v the_o blot_n of_o sin_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o holy_a law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o the_o rectitude_n and_o holiness_n that_o the_o spiritual_a law_n require_v and_o it_o be_v formal_o sin_n and_o not_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o which_o consideration_n as_o nothing_o remove_v blindness_n consider_v but_o see_v eye_n or_o deafness_n but_o hear_v ear_n so_o nothing_o formal_o remove_v sin_n but_o only_o the_o perfect_a habit_n of_o accomplish_a sanctification_n and_o so_o the_o blot_n of_o sin_n macula_n be_v not_o that_o which_o be_v formal_o remove_v in_o justification_n but_o only_o in_o perfect_v sanctification_n 2._o the_o blot_n of_o sin_n in_o relation_n to_o god_n as_o offend_v and_o injure_v put_v on_o the_o habit_n of_o guilt_n and_o so_o it_o be_v wash_v away_o in_o the_o fountain_n open_v to_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o formal_o remove_v in_o justification_n but_o now_o it_o be_v not_o formal_o consider_v as_o sin_n but_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v accidental_a in_o sin_n to_o wit_n obligation_n to_o punishment_n which_o may_v be_v and_o be_v remove_v from_o sin_n the_o true_a essence_n and_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v save_v whole_a and_o entire_a hence_o sin_n have_v divers_a consideration_n 1._o as_o sin_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v formal_o sin_n and_o this_o essential_a form_n and_o life_n
