if_o man_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n for_o he_o can_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n he_o may_v then_o stick_v to_o that_o plea_n and_o stand_v at_o the_o bar_n of_o justice_n whereas_o he_o be_v now_o force_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n 3_o that_o god_n only_o can_v forgive_v sin_n for_o man_n be_v here_o direct_v only_o to_o god_n 4_o that_o confession_n of_o sin_n and_o petition_n unto_o

express_o remission_n or_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o then_o consequent_o the_o imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n to_o we_o by_o virtue_n whereof_o we_o may_v find_v acceptance_n with_o god_n the_o father_n in_o and_o by_z and_o through_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o his_o son_n christ._n for_o as_o by_o bread_n in_o the_o former_a petition_n we_o do_v by_o a_o synecdoche_n understand_v all_o the_o necessary_n of_o this_o corporal_a life_n so_o in_o this_o petition_n by_o forgiveness_n we_o may_v understand_v that_o which_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o eternal_a life_n christ_n righteousness_n to_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o or_o in_o one_o word_n in_o this_o petition_n we_o beg_v justification_n of_o our_o person_n as_o in_o the_o next_o we_o beg_v sanctification_n of_o our_o nature_n heart_n and_o life_n in_o short_a since_o there_o be_v forgiveness_n with_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v fear_v we_o who_o be_v so_o many_o condemn_a malefactor_n must_v make_v our_o application_n and_o our_o supplication_n to_o he_o and_o to_o he_o alone_o for_o pardon_n for_o sin_n be_v such_o a_o burden_n and_o of_o such_o intolerable_a weight_n that_o it_o be_v only_o omnipotent_a mercy_n that_o can_v remove_v the_o guilt_n of_o it_o from_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n it_o be_v a_o opposition_n to_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n nature_n who_o be_v infinite_a as_o well_o as_o a_o violation_n of_o that_o law_n which_o be_v exceed_o broad_a and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n sin_n may_v very_o well_o pass_v for_o the_o great_a of_o evil_n since_o 1_o only_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v broad_a enough_o to_o cover_v it_o that_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o sinner_n nakedness_n may_v not_o appear_v 2_o only_o the_o mercy_n of_o a_o infinite_a god_n can_v pardon_v it_o 3_o since_o it_o be_v a_o downright_a deface_v of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o man_n and_o instead_o thereof_o draw_v the_o black_a line_n or_o image_n of_o satan_n upon_o man_n soul_n 4_o and_o be_v consequent_o the_o great_a enemy_n to_o man_n happiness_n and_o perfection_n 5_o it_o do_v procure_v for_o the_o impenitent_a unpardoned_a sinner_n the_o eternal_a wrath_n of_o god_n and_o flame_n of_o hell_n q._n but_o it_o may_v be_v here_o demand_v why_o our_o sin_n be_v call_v debt_n for_o a_o answer_n we_o be_v to_o know_v in_o the_o general_n that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o but_o metaphorical_o with_o allusion_n to_o those_o debt_n that_o be_v contract_v between_o man_n and_o man_n for_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v proper_o as_o a_o creditor_n but_o as_o a_o governor_n so_o that_o in_o strict_a sense_n our_o obedience_n rather_o than_o our_o sin_n be_v our_o debt_n to_o god_n and_o such_o a_o debt_n as_o we_o owe_v to_o he_o by_o the_o law_n of_o our_o creation_n so_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v call_v our_o debt_n only_o because_o sin_n do_v make_v punishment_n to_o become_v a_o debt_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n and_o it_o be_v our_o just_a debt_n and_o of_o the_o two_o it_o be_v punishment_n which_o man_n do_v suffer_v for_o sin_n that_o come_v near_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o notion_n of_o a_o debt_n than_o sin_n itself_o this_o be_v a_o due_a debt_n to_o god_n justice_n as_o obedience_n be_v to_o his_o authority_n however_o we_o can_v pray_v that_o this_o debt_n of_o punishment_n be_v remit_v except_o we_o beg_v that_o guilt_n which_o be_v a_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n be_v first_o remove_v 3_o we_o have_v the_o illustration_n of_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o petition_n by_o a_o apt_a similitude_n or_o resemblance_n sc_n as_o we_o forgive_v our_o debtor_n which_o word_n with_o reference_n to_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v either_o as_o a_o rule_n that_o god_n
