PARDON.

And Moses said unto the Lord, Pardon, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of Thy mercy, and as Thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word.—Numbers, xiv. 13, 19, 20.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.—Isaiah, lv. 7.

But infinite in pardon is our judge.

Milton.

What can we better do than prostrate fall

Befort Him reverent, and there confess

Humbly our faults, and pardon beg, with tears
