I just ran across this witness to the doctrine of the Puritan preacher Anthony Burgess. I thought it was worth sharing.

Anthony Burgess’ book, “The True Doctrine of Justification” deals with the question of seeking daily pardon of sin in Lecture 14. Here is an outline which might be helpful:
Observation. It is the duty of justified persons to pray for the forgiveness of their sins.

1. That God would not require of us the satisfaction of his justice for our sins.
2. That God would lay our sins upon Christ.
3. As we pray for justification, so for continuance in it.
4. We pray for daily renewed acts of pardon and imputation of Christ’s righteousness.
5. We pray for the sense of this pardon in our consciences more and more.
6. We pray that as God doth forgives the sins, so he would release the punishment.
7. We pray to be delivered from those effects of sin.
8. We pray for pardon and the concomitants thereof.
