it
was
to bring the
news
unto
David
of
the pardon
of
his
fin
;
firft
Nathan
convinces
him
of
his
fin, that
he
fhould do it
before
IJrael,
and
before
the
Sun, and
having convinc'd
him,
he
fays
further,
the
Lord
bath
put away
thy
fan
: Now
a
fecure
heart
might go away,
and
fay,
all
is
well,
I
(hall
not
dye
, God
bath
pardoned
my
fin,
I
need
not
be
troubled any more
about
that matter
:
But mark the Pfalmift, how
he
cries unto
God
,
Have
mercy
O
Lord
upon
me,
and
blot out
all
my
tranfgrejons,
wafh
me,
purge
me ;
and then
he
prays
for
reftoring
mercies
for
his
broken
bones ,
and
then
cries out
for further
afhurance
;
the
very
grace
of
God
that
Nathan
brought to
him
of
the
par-
don
of
his fin,
that
very grace of
God
did
melt
and
break his
heart
fo
much the more
;
after
God
had fent him
the pardon
of
his
fin,
he
mourned more than ever
before we
never
read that
David
was fo much
troubled
for
his
fin
as
in this
5
s
Pfal. that
was
after
Nathan
had
come
unto
him
:
Now
if
you
find
that at
that time when
God
is
pleas'd
to
come
un-
to
you
in
the
Miniftry
of
the
Word
,
or
in
private to declare
unto you the pardon
of
your
fin,
and
to give
you
the
com-
fortable
Evidence
of
it, that
then
your
hearts
are
molt devo-
ted
to mourn
for
them,
and
to melt before
God,
Be
of
good
comfort,
thy
fins
are pardoned.
