22 , "And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman that is a bond-maid , betrothed to an husband , and not at all redeemed , nor freedom given her , they shall be scourged ; they shall not be put to death , because she was not free . And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the
Lord unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , even a ram for a trespass-offering * And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass-offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done : and the sin which he hath done , shall be forgiven him . " Here is another wilful crime and of no small magnifcude for which atonement was appointed to be made . And it is evident that these are crimes that
would often be committed , and therefore atonement would not un . frequently be made for them . And if we consult the following passages of scripture , &c . we shall see instances in which atonement was actually made for breaches of the moral laws of God . Num . xvi . 46 , 47- Chap . xxv . xi .

And even sins of ignorance , which all persons allow atonement was made for ; ( Levit . iv . 2 , 23 , 26 . ) had often real guilt attached to them ; ( I . Tim . i . 13 , )
