CHARACTERS IN BLOOD OR A Bleeding Saviour Held out to a BLEEDING SINNER WHEREIN He may know whether he hath been called by and followed after the Leadings of the Spirit Being a draught of the Spare hours of a Lover of the Faithful By R. Dyer LONDON Printed for W. Redmayne at the sign of the Crown on Addle-Hill near Carter Lane 1676. To all those into whose hands this may fall whether Teachers or Learners MY earnest Request to all is that you would take every one his Portion as you find it according to Truth what 's not Truth let that be returned to me or blotted out but if thou find'st it truth when brought to the test of Holy Write then I advise thee to receive and embrace and put it in practice and if thou dost not resolve so to do lay it down and go no further whether it be reproof to any or consolation to any be sure not to reject it it may be it may meet with some that will cry tear it cut it burn it to the Law and to the Testimony Man if it agree not with that I say so too but if it agree with that take heed as for thy life thy Soul Man or Woman what thou dost whatever Men say Man that 's insignificant thy great concern is to bearken what God the Lord speaks if he speaks Peace man say not thou there is no peace and if he say return no more to folly take heed and venture not for Gods speaking Peace to any admits of no liberty of Sin though this be the very guise of Professors at this very day I shall say no more to thee now only begg thee to be serious and not dally with the things of thy soul R. O. 1 Cor. 5.7 For even Christ our Pass-over is Sacrificed for us THere is not a necessity of opening the design of the Apostle in this Chapter therefore I shall not take up time nor room in it but in the Words you may please to take notice of five things First Of a Pass-over Secondly Who the Pass-over is and that is Thirdly The Service to which he is appointed and that is to be slain or sacrificed this may be proved else where as 2 Acts 23. Fourthly The end for which he is slain that is 1. To declare the glory of Gods grace 2. To work our Salvation Fifthly Here are the persons for which all this is done and that is for Believers and that is gathered from those little words us and our for even Christ our Pass-over is Sacrificed for us what us Paul and the believing Corinthians time is precious with me or else I might a little shew you the import of a Sacrifice and what it doth denote and also shew the necessity of poor Believers Offering a Sacrifice But I intreat to be excused here and that I may discourse a little Methodically let me gather up my design in a plain conclusion from the Words though many may be drawn clearly out of them and 't is this that the sins of Believers are passed over or acquitted by vertue of the Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus I shall First Prove this to be truth from the Word of Truth Secondly Shew a little why it is so Thirdly Improve this point for Soul advantage First Prove that Christ is a Sacrifice for believers sins 3 Rom. 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation By vertue of what or through what why his blood through Faith in his blood Pray you mark he doth say through Faith in him no then he might have done away sins and not have dyed and bled I but 't is through Faith in his Blood not through the Vertue of his Life but through his Death and if you read on you shall see that this was for the remission of sins or the passing over of sins for it will bear that sence so in Rom. 5.6 In due time Christ dyed what for not to be an example only not for the testimony of his Doctrine but for the Ungodly he dyed and he dyed for the Ungodly yea saith Paul and the believing Romans Vers 8. When we were Sinners Christ dyed for us Mark this for sinners not for the righteous and them that be perfit but for sinners and while they were sinners us that are now Believers were Sinners when Christ dyed for us us believers that are now justified by Faith Vers 1. so Heb. 9.12 Not by the Blood of Bulls and Goats not by the tears of our repentance and sorrow no nor by our blood but by his own Blood not our own but by his own Blood whose blood Christ the High-Priest who hath obtained eternal Redemption for us and Vers 15. For this cause he is the Mediator what cause that by means of death he might redeem the Transgressors that were under the first Testament and Ver. 26. But now once in the end of the World hath he appeared to put away sin by the Sacrifice of himself not to bring the news of sinners putting away sins by the sacrifice of themselves but by the sacrifice of himself and he was offered to bear the sins of many Vers 28. where are they then that take upon them to assert he did not bear believers sins are not these plain words need they any interpretation and here is not one single Text only but 't is the whole scope of the Apostle many more might be produced but I 'le only mention one more and then I hope their Sandy Foundation will be shaken that build on their own faith and repentance as if that bear the burden of sin from us 1 Pet. 2.24 Who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the Tree here 't is plain as words can make it certainly thou must renounce thy reason to deny so many plain sillables this the Prophet David prayed for and dost thou think the Spirit of God doth things in vain in the 2 Sam. 24.10 O Lord take away the iniquity of thy Servant so Job 7.21 And why dost not thou take away my iniquity Dost thou think sin and the burden of it can be taken away and not be born on no back shoulders or arms how then should it be taken away and if it must be taken and born away dost thou think the Holy God the infinite first being absolutely considered in his own essence and nature in an abstractive sence disunited to the Humane nature dost thou think the Godhead purely considered will come under sin to bear it away no purity it self is to pure to look on sin much less to touch sin as it were no no poor deluded Creature God in his simple essence and being cannot bear sin but clothing himself with our nature he can bear sin away for which cause he is called the Lamb of God that taketh away Sin John 1.29 A Lamb is queit and dumb before the Shearer which place will well serve to expound that place Isa 53.7 Which thou wilt not have understood
