the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n if_o you_o look_v therefore_o into_o the_o old_a testament_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o sprinkle_v blood_n upon_o a_o fourfold_a account_n to_o confirm_v and_o ratify_v the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o they_o to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o their_o sin_n for_o the_o sanctification_n and_o purification_n of_o their_o person_n and_o thing_n and_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o person_n according_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n heb._n 9.19_o the_o book_n be_v sprinkle_v so_o in_o the_o 24._o of_o exod._n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v give_v v._o 7._o and_o he_o take_v the_o book_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o read_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n and_o they_o say_v all_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v we_o will_v do_v and_o be_v obedient_a and_o moses_n take_v the_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v it_o on_o the_o people_n and_o say_v behold_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o 9th_o of_o the_o heb._n tell_v we_o that_o he_o sprinkle_v the_o book_n itself_o and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v thus_o much_o that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o do_v ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o covenant_n now_o make_v between_o god_n and_o we_o as_o at_o large_a in_o that_o 9th_o of_o the_o hebrew_n 2._o then_o also_o in_o those_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o sprinkle_v blood_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o four_o of_o levit._n 6_o and_o the_o 20._o verse_n and_o the_o priest_n shall_v dip_v his_o finger_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n seven_o time_n before_o the_o lord_n before_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n the_o mercy_n seat_n and_o the_o altar_n be_v sprinkle_v the_o reason_n be_v give_v at_o the_o 20_o v._o and_o he_o shall_v do_v with_o the_o bullock_n as_o he_o do_v with_o the_o bullock_n for_o a_o fin_n offer_v so_o shall_v he_o do_v with_o this_o and_o the_o priest_n shall_v make_v a_o atonement_n for_o they_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v forgive_v they_o and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n whereby_o we_o have_v atonement_n as_o in_o rom._n 5.11_o 3._o again_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o do_v sprinkle_v blood_n for_o the_o purification_n of_o man_n person_n and_o of_o thing_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o levit._n 14._o v._o 7._o and_o he_o shall_v sprinkle_v upon_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v cleanse_v from_o the_o leprosy_n seven_o time_n and_o shall_v pronounce_v he_o clean_o and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o do_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n as_o in_o the_o first_o epist_n of_o john_n chap._n 1._o 4._o then_o in_o those_o time_n they_o do_v sprinkle_v man_n person_n for_o preservation_n from_o the_o destroy_a angel_n when_o the_o destroy_a angel_n come_v to_o destroy_v the_o egyptian_n the_o post_n of_o the_o israelite_n be_v sprinkle_v that_o they_o may_v be_v preserve_v and_o why_o but_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o we_o be_v preserve_v from_o the_o destroyer_n in_o the_o 1._o v._o of_o the_o 1._o of_o judas_n it_o be_v say_v judas_n the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o brother_n of_o james_n to_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o god_n the_o father_n and_o preserve_v in_o jesus_n christ_n or_o preserve_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o christ_n our_o passover_n be_v sacrifice_v for_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n so_o that_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v brief_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o their_o sprinkle_n blood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o how_o all_o this_o be_v applicable_a to_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n and_o if_o you_o look_v wishly_o into_o the_o scripture_n and_o compare_v thing_n with_o thing_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o moses_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n do_v divide_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n part_v whereof_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o altar_n pour_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o altar_n to_o oblige_v god_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o part_n of_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o people_n to_o confirm_v their_o soul_n in_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o to_o oblige_v they_o to_o observe_v and_o keep_v covenant_n with_o god_n so_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o when_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n speak_v at_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n the_o first_o part_n part_n of_o the_o word_n this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n have_v regard_n to_o we_o show_v that_o our_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v confirm_v in_o this_o that_o we_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o word_n shed_v for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n relate_v unto_o god_n show_v the_o use_n of_o christ_n blood_n to_o satisfy_v god_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o to_o obtain_v our_o remission_n and_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o be_v the_o use_n of_o this_o sprinkle_v i_o say_v sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n note_n application_n what_o be_v we_o the_o better_a for_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v not_o apply_v to_o we_o and_o sprinkle_v on_o we_o there_o be_v two_o great_a attribute_n of_o god_n that_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v withal_o in_o the_o great_a matter_n of_o our_o redemption_n the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v be_v be_v satisfy_v christ_n be_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o his_o blood_n shed_v on_o earth_n that_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n may_v be_v obtain_v christ_n carry_v as_o our_o great_a highpriest_n his_o blood_n the_o virtue_n of_o it_o into_o heaven_n and_o sprinkle_v the_o mercy-seat_n seven_o time_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v sanctify_v and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n this_o blood_n be_v sprinkle_v upon_o we_o too_o as_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o the_o altar_n and_o the_o mercy-seat_n that_o god_n may_v be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o so_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v sanctify_v &_o reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o god_n be_v in_o covenant_n with_o we_o as_o when_o the_o jew_n be_v sprinkle_v with_o blood_n the_o priest_n say_v this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o covenant_n they_o be_v assure_v thereby_o that_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n so_o when_o we_o be_v sprinkle_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n we_o be_v or_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o god_n and_o thus_o now_o you_o see_v what_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v be_v upon_o what_o account_n it_o be_v sprinkle_v and_o what_o be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sprinkle_n thereof_o and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o general_n second_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v which_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n be_v a_o speak_a blood_n and_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o that_o of_o a●el_n or_o than_o abel_n it_o speak_v in_o regard_n of_o its_o continual_a and_o perpetual_a virtue_n and_o operation_n but_o here_o be_v two_o thing_n first_o what_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v 2._o how_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o that_o of_o abel_n first_o what_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v 1._o it_o speak_v a_o necessity_n of_o satisfaction_n for_o without_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n 2._o it_o speak_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n if_o god_n have_v burn_v down_o such_o a_o city_n as_o this_o to_o declare_v his_o righteousness_n how_o much_o more_o do_v the_o shed_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n declare_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v i_o say_v his_o righteousness_n say_v the_o apostle_n in_o rom._n 3._o 3._o it_o speak_v the_o high_a obedience_n that_o ever_o the_o sun_n see_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v obedient_a unto_o death_n lay_v down_o his_o blood_n be_v the_o high_a obedience_n as_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o tree_n so_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o tree_n who_o his_o own_o self_n bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n say_v the_o apostle_n as_o the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o transgress_a a_o positive_a commandment_n which_o be_v the_o symbol_n of_o obedience_n to_o the_o whole_a moral_a law_n so_o
the_o obedience_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n do_v consist_v in_o be_v obedient_a unto_o a_o positive_a commandment_n which_o be_v the_o symbol_n of_o his_o obedience_n to_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n this_o commandment_n receive_v i_o of_o my_o father_n say_v he_o and_o as_o moses_n the_o head_n of_o that_o covenant_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n in_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o as_o the_o l●rd_n command_v so_o do_v he_o so_o jesus_n the_o head_n of_o this_o second_o covenant_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o trust_n and_o as_o the_o lord_n command_v so_o do_v he_o as_o the_o father_n give_v i_o commandment_n say_v he_o even_o so_o i_o do_v john_n 14._o last_o so_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v the_o high_a obedience_n in_o the_o world_n 4._o it_o speak_v also_o the_o worth_n of_o soul_n if_o a_o physician_n have_v a_o patient_n ready_a to_o die_v and_o nothing_o will_v work_v his_o cure_n but_o the_o heartblood_n of_o the_o

be_v of_o great_a concernment_n and_o of_o great_a worth_n so_o it_o be_v here_o and_o what_o do_v this_o argue_v but_o that_o jesus_n do_v look_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n as_o of_o infinite_a worth_n and_o concernment_n 5._o this_o blood_n of_o jesus_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n the_o heinousness_n the_o sinfulness_n the_o evil_a of_o sin_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o do_v speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n but_o of_o all_o thing_n methinks_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n loud_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o name_v some_o that_o so_o you_o may_v compare_v they_o and_o this_o together_o first_o the_o separation_n from_o god_n and_o union_n with_o satan_n speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n as_o by_o grace_n we_o be_v unite_v unto_o god_n make_v one_o with_o god_n and_o separate_v from_o the_o devil_n so_o by_o sin_n we_o be_v separate_v from_o god_n and_o unite_v unto_o satan_n and_o make_v one_o with_o he_o 2._o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n if_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o apple_n commit_v that_o

one_o sinful_a thought_n be_v enough_o to_o spoil_v a_o prayer_n to_o spoil_v a_o duty_n to_o spoil_v a_o sermon_n and_o if_o one_o drop_n of_o ink_n shall_v black_a a_o whole_a glass_n of_o milk_n how_o black_a be_v that_o ink_n 5._o the_o horror_n of_o conscience_n speak_v it_o for_o if_o but_o one_o sin_n set_v on_o upon_o the_o soul_n by_o god_n do_v put_v a_o man_n into_o such_o horror_n of_o conscience_n how_o great_a be_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n 6._o the_o troublesomeness_n of_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o saint_n speak_v it_o sin_n in_o the_o saint_n be_v but_o wasp_n

be_v sin_n in_o itself_o but_o seventh_o and_o above_o all_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n for_o if_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a that_o nothing_o can_v satisfy_v for_o it_o but_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n and_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a that_o nothing_o can_v fetch_v out_o the_o stain_n thereof_o but_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n how_o great_a how_o heinous_a how_o sinful_a must_v the_o evil_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o then_o 6_o as_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n so_o it_o speak_v the_o riches_n and_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n it_o be_v love_n in_o jonathan_n to_o part_v with_o his_o garment_n for_o david_n what_o love_n be_v it_o in_o christ_n to_o part_v with_o his_o blood_n for_o we_o it_o be_v love_n that_o make_v christ_n weep_v over_o lazarus_n they_o say_v behold_v how_o he_o love_v he_o and_o if_o his_o tear_n speak_v his_o love_n what_o do_v his_o blood_n it_o be_v love_n to_o give_v a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n to_o a_o disciple_n what_o be_v it_o then_o to_o give_v one_o warm_a blood_n unto_o enemy_n three_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o do_v make_v a_o gift_n great_o free_a 1._o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o gift_n give_v 2._o the_o unworthiness_n of_o the_o person_n give_v unto_o

die_v and_o give_v his_o blood_n and_o the_o holy-ghost_n come_v and_o sprinkle_v it_o for_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy-ghost_n to_o sprinkle_v this_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n speak_v it_o speak_v the_o riches_n and_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v and_o now_o if_o you_o ask_v how_o and_o in_o what_o respect_v it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o abel_n or_o then_o that_o of_o abel_n for_o it_o may_v be_v translate_v both_o way_n according_a to_o the_o several_a copy_n but_o take_v it_o according_a to_o our_o translation_n better_o than_o that_o of_o abel_n or_o then_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n how_o and_o in_o what_o respect_n do_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n why_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o personal_a blood_n of_o abel_n and_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o sacrifice_v blood_n of_o abel_n it_o speak_v better_a than_o the_o personal_a blood_n of_o abel_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n against_o his_o own_o brother_n but_o the_o blood_n of_o

blood_n but_o other_o think_v rather_o that_o these_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o sacrifice_a blood_n of_o abel_n and_o because_o abel_n be_v the_o first_o that_o stand_v upon_o record_n in_o scripture_n for_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n with_o blood_n it_o be_v as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o abel_n or_o of_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o old-testament_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n here_o for_o the_o design_n of_o the_o apostle_n here_o be_v to_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o new-testament_n sacrifice_n and_o of_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new-testament_n above_o the_o old_a and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n you_o find_v that_o though_o in_o the_o four_o of_o genesis_n it_o ●s_v say_v abel_n blood_n cry_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i●_n be_v not_o

unto_o god_n a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n and_o by_o it_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o speak_v in_o point_n of_o sacrifice_n by_o faith_n he_o yet_o speak_v and_o will_v you_o know_v how_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o sacrifice_a blood_n of_o abel_n or_o than_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n thus._n 1._o the_o blood_n of_o

which_o more_o large_o run_v thus_o observe_v 4._o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a privilege_n which_o in_o these_o gospel_n time_n we_o be_v partaker_n of_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o blood_n of_o

then_o to_o mix_v water_n and_o blood_n together_o and_o to_o sprinkle_v it_o upon_o person_n and_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o pattern_n and_o type_n of_o this_o blood_n of_o jesus_n as_o you_o read_v from_o the_o 13._o verse_n unto_o the_o 24._o of_o the_o 9_o of_o the_o heb._n when_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n die_v upon_o the_o cross_n there_o come_v water_n and_o blood_n out_o of_o

this_o be_v he_o that_o come_v by_o water_n and_o blood_n even_o jesus_n christ_n not_o by_o water_n only_o but_o by_o water_n and_o blood_n again_o this_o be_v he_o even_o jesus_n christ_n that_o come_v by_o water_n and_o blood_n which_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n say_v peter_n express_o in_o his_o 1_o epist_n 1.2_o elect_a according_o to_o the_o foreknowledge_n ●f_fw-fr god_n the_o father_n through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o obedience_n and_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o plain_o then_o and_o brief_o this_o b●ood_a of_o sprinkle_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n call_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v in_o reference_n unto_o those_o type_n and_o ceremony_n of_o sprinkle_v blood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o our_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o show_v you_o brief_o what_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o their_o sprinkle_n blood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o how_o that_o be_v appliable_a to_o
his_o own_o blood_n but_o jesus_n do_v he_o offer_v up_o himself_o by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n as_o in_o the_o 9th_o of_o the_o heb._n 3._o and_o though_o abel_n and_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n offer_v excellent_a sacrifice_n yet_o they_o offer_v often_o and_o so_o those_o sacrifice_n can_v not_o make_v the_o comer_n thereunto_o perfect_a say_v the_o apostle_n but_o christ_n offer_v himself_o once_o for_o all_o and_o so_o he_o have_v for_o ever_o perfect_v they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v heb._n 10._o 4._o though_o abel_n and_o the_o father_n in_o the_o old_a

and_o possible_o they_o may_v have_v die_v before_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n be_v before_o our_o sin_n be_v commit_v we_o can_v die_v between_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o sacrifice_n 5._o and_o though_o abel_n and_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n offer_v excellent_a sacrifice_n the_o blood_n whereof_o be_v sprinkle_v on_o the_o people_n yet_o that_o be_v but_o to_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n at_o the_o 13_o v._o of_o the_o 9th_o chap._n if_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o of_o goat_n and_o the_o ash_n of_o a_o heifer_n sprinkle_v the_o unclean_a sanctifi_v to_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n but_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n purge_v our_o conscience_n from_o

the_o offering_n of_o the_o heathen_a above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o jew_n above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o christian_n above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o heathen_n for_o they_o sacrifice_v to_o devil_n but_o he_o offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n above_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o their_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v sanctify_v to_o the_o purify_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o this_o to_o the_o purge_n of_o your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n above_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o christian_n for_o though_o christian_n offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n as_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n yet_o not_o without_o spot_n but_o he_o offer_v himself_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n without_o spot_n to_o god_n 6._o and_o then_o though_o a●el_v offer_v a_o excellent_a sacrifice_n and_o so_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n yet_o notwithstanding_o those_o be_v for_o themselves_o and_o for_o those_o time_n abel_n offer_v for_o himself_o and_o the_o jew_n for_o themselves_o for_o that_o time_n only_o but_o christ_n offer_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o all_o the_o world_n he_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o w●rld_n 7._o again_o though_o abel_n offer_v a_o excellent_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n offer_v excellent_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o blood_n thereof_o be_v sprinkle_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o sprinkle_v upon_o all_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o 9th_o heb_fw-mi it_o be_v say_v moreover_o he_o sprinkle_v

by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n all_o thing_n be_v purge_v and_o cleanse_v not_o almost_o but_o all_o thing_n be_v purge_v and_o cleanse_v thus_o now_o you_o see_v what_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v speak_v and_o how_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n better_a than_o his_o personal_a blood_n and_o better_a than_o his_o sacrifice_a blood_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o general_n 3._o now_o 3_o unto_o this_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v be_v we_o come_v in_o these_o gospel-t●mes_a we_o be_v not_o come_v unto_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n and_o

so_o that_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n that_o now_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o well_o but_o though_o in_o these_o gospel-time_n we_o be_v now_o come_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n
