The Gof pel oftheSin-Oferhzg. 24S', , with that clearful and full SatisfaUion that were tobe defired, and which is to be found in other Things. Therefore I fhall but tell you my own judgment of it in a fewWords. The Sin -Offering may be taken either in a larger Senfe, as including ,thy Trefpafs-Offering ; or in a flraiter Senf, as contradiftinguifhed to it. Take it in the largeft Senfe; and fo it extends to any Sin whatfoever that is pardonable; and thus the Sin- Offering isagenus including two fpecies, namely, the Sin -Offering ftrialy taken, and the Trefpafs-Of= fering. Thus it is oppofed only to prefumptuous finning, which had no Sacrifice provided for it in the Law : For fuch Perfons were to be cut off: And ofthis Senfe, and this Oppofition, Numb. 15. fpeaketh clear ly, fee i"erf. 27.28, 29. compare this with Verf 3o. >, There is a way of finning for which there is. no Forgivenefs. Thus axovwas & ° ixoiNiag are opppfed.. Of the latter the Apoftie faith, Hell. to. 26. There re- maineth na-more Sacrifice for Sin. But there be other Sins which though. againft Knowledge, yet are not prefumptuous to fuch an height ; but the Soul is carried alide out of ignorance and Surprize, and by the Violence of Temptation and of finful.Pallions and Lufts, through Inadvertency, Careleffnefs, Un- ad.vifednefs, en. For thefe there is a Sin-Offering. In this Senfe, even the Trefpafs- Offering is and may be called aSin-Offering, Cap,, 7. Verf.> 7. See Cap. 5., Verf:6. i I I2. But take the Sin-offering in a morenarrow Senfe.as contradiftinguifh- ed unto the, Trefpafs-Offering, and here lies the Difficulty, wherein the Sin -Offering (whofe Rites are here fet down in this fourth Chap- ter) doth differ from the Trefpafs-Offering in the fifth Chapter, as to. the fpecial End and life. of . it ? Some have thought the. Sin- Offering ,refers to Sins cf hrniffon, the Trefpafs-Offering to Sins of Commilon. But this Rule will not hold;. for the Trefpafs -Offering.concerning Sins of.Qmifiiön, as well as the other, Cap. 5. i. If he do not utter it, when he..ocsgbt to- do it. F Here is an Omiflion, for which a Trefpafs-Offering is there- appointed. Some have thought that the Sin- Offering was for Sins againft the fecond Table, and the Trefpafs -Offering for Sins againft"thefirs7. But the Text is. clear, That the Trefpafs-Offering relates both to firtt and fecond Table Sins, fuch as Deceit and Violence to one's Neighbour,= as well as Perjury againft God, Çap.6. 2. Ifa Soul fn: and commit a Trefpafs againft the Lord, and lie unto his Neighbour, &c. Others hath ftated it thus, That there is ignorantia faf$i, Ignorance- - of the Fait in the one ; and , ignorantia jai), ignorance of the Rule in the;£.-
