God is not blotted out, the Holy Spirit is not blotted out, but turns away from impious minds; not grace but iniquity is blotted out; for it is written: “I am He, I am He that blot out thine iniquities.” Lastly, Moses, making request for the people, says: “Blot me out of Thy book, if Thou sparest not this people.” And yet he was not blotted out, because he had no iniquity, but grace flowed forth.
