The
-
1ir
ji
Scripture
Expreffion
I
full
name
is in
11a.43.
25. where
the
Lord
tells his
people, that
he blots
out
their
tranfi
re
ons
;
God
feems
to
take much
delight
in
this
Phráfe,
aid
therefore
doubles
it,
I,
'even
I
am
he
that
blotteth
out thy
tranf
regions
for
my
own
fake,
and
will
not
remember thyfins
:
Now
this
phrafe of
blotting
out
is
taken
from
the cuflome
of
Tradefinen that
have
their
-Books
of
Accounts, wherein
they
enter
all
their
Debts
that
are owing
to them
by fuch and fuch
men
:
Now
when
thefe
come to
be
paid, the Debt -b
ok
is
croffed
or
blotted
out
;
if
any
of
you
owe a
debt,
when
you
come
to
pay it,
you
call
for
the
Debt-book
to
fee
it
croffed
or
blotted
out,
and then you
allure
your
felv-es
you (hall
never
hear
of it
more. Now
you
mull know, that
all
finners
are
debtors
to the
Lord
;
they
are
in
a
debt
of
punifhment
for
want
or
failing
in
paying him a debt
of
Obedience
:
many
men by
their
fin
run
into debt with
God
dai-
ly,
and becaufe
God
does
not
call
for the
debt
prefently
;
they
think
there's
nothing
between
God
and
them,
but
carry
it
as
if
all
were
well
;
as
many
Gallants
run
into
Tradefinens
debt
to
hang
fine
Cloaths
upon
their
backs, and ruffle it up and down
in
the
world,
and never
think
of
their
debts till
their Creditors
come
and
arreft them,
and
call them
into
Goal,
and
there
they
Iye
in
Prifon,
for
all
:heir
ruffling
it
up and
down
in
the world
:
Ju4f
fo
men
and
women
by
their
fin
run into debt with God,and
though
God
do
not
call
for
the debt
prefently,
yet they
are
re-
corded
in
Heaven
;
it
is
as
certain that
every
fin
Of
any man
or
woman
is
.fet
down
in
Gods Debt
-book,
as
any
debt
you owe
is
fet
down
in
your Creditors
Book
:
and
as
certainly
muff
your
,debts
be
called
for,
and
fatisfadion
and
payment made
unto
God
for them,as certain
as
any Tradefman
will call
for
payment
of
his debt
:
Now
this
is
the
work of Juftification
between
God
and
your;
Souls,
if
ye would know the
nature
of it.
When
Je-
fus
Chrift
fees
a
poor
foul
that
God
the Father
hath
given
to
him
to
fave, thus run
i:nio
debt,
Chrift
comes and
layes
down
a
price
before
God
the
Father, to
pay this debt
:
and
Chrift
fees
that
the
debt
be
blotted
out
of
the
Book
:
Now
when
God
cO
nts
with pardoning mercy to
a
Soul,
God
chews the
Debt-
Book
