inseparable_o appertinent_a to_o both_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v which_o he_o say_v speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n this_o be_v particular_o and_o emphatical_o mention_v because_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n the_o shed_n of_o his_o precious_a blood_n be_v the_o great_a performance_n of_o his_o mediatory_a work_n here_o upon_o earth_n the_o grand_a fundamental_a of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o of_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o all_o be_v purchase_v by_o this_o as_o the_o price_n of_o it_o and_o in_o regard_n the_o jew_n have_v be_v much_o accustom_v under_o the_o old_a covenant_n to_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n without_o which_o there_o be_v no_o remission_n the_o apostle_n instruct_v they_o that_o this_o new_a covenant_n infinite_o excel_v the_o other_o in_o that_o very_a particular_a and_o he_o call_v it_o the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v because_o there_o be_v no_o blood_n at_o any_o time_n offer_v under_o the_o law_n but_o part_n of_o it_o be_v sprinkle_v and_o as_o the_o old_a covenant_n at_o horeb_n be_v confirm_v by_o moses_n the_o mediator_n of_o it_o by_o sprinkle_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o ox_n then_o sacrifice_v so_o this_o new_a covenant_n be_v ratify_v by_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o blood_n but_o it_o be_v such_o blood_n as_o of_o which_o all_o that_o be_v shed_v before_o be_v but_o typical_a and_o such_o blood_n as_o be_v of_o a_o infinite_a value_n the_o blood_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o as_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 9th_o chap._n make_v the_o comparison_n if_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n say_v he_o can_v serve_v for_o legal_a typical_a and_o ceremonial_a purification_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v up_o himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n so_o that_o by_o this_o expression_n the_o apostle_n call_v this_o blood_n the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o this_o be_v the_o soul_n purify_n soul-justifying_a and_o soulsaving_a blood_n of_o which_o all_o the_o sacrifice_v blood_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v since_o abel_n first_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o a_o type_n and_o prefiguration_n it_o be_v being_n sprinkle_v with_o this_o that_o give_v entrance_n and_o admittance_n into_o heaven_n the_o true_a sanctuary_n of_o which_o admittance_n into_o the_o earthly_a sanctuary_n by_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o blood_n be_v but_o a_o type_n and_o this_o blood_n as_o it_o be_v of_o transcendent_a power_n and_o virtue_n so_o it_o have_v a_o general_a and_o universal_a efficacy_n so_o the_o prophet_n esau_n tell_v we_o esau_n 52.15_o where_o it_o be_v prophesy_v that_o christ_n shall_v with_o his_o blood_n sprinkle_v many_o nation_n which_o refer_v to_o that_o universal_a advantage_n the_o gentile_a world_n shall_v reap_v by_o it_o this_o blood_n be_v not_o like_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n that_o be_v often_o shed_v and_o reach_v but_o to_o one_o nation_n this_o blood_n be_v of_o that_o infinite_a value_n that_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n the_o whole_a world_n be_v sprinkle_v with_o it_o in_o order_n to_o justification_n and_o salvation_n and_o there_o need_v no_o repetition_n of_o it_o for_o by_o this_o one_o sacrifice_n offer_v up_o christ_n have_v for_o ever_o perfect_v they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n this_o blood_n the_o apostle_n say_v speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n which_o be_v a_o consideration_n of_o great_a moment_n unto_o the_o jew_n some_o modern_a interpreter_n for_o i_o see_v it_o in_o no_o ancient_a author_n conceive_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n here_o be_v not_o mean_v his_o own_o blood_n but_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n he_o slay_v which_o be_v the_o first_o we_o read_v of_o that_o god_n accept_v and_o he_o give_v such_o a_o testimonial_a to_o they_o that_o in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n the_o apostle_n say_v upon_o that_o account_n he_o be_v yet_o speak_v of_o not_o as_o it_o be_v vulgar_o render_v yet_o speak_v but_o be_v yet_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o induce_v they_o to_o make_v this_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n be_v i_o suppose_v the_o little_a advantage_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o the_o comparison_n to_o compare_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o saviour_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o murder_a man_n than_o which_o nothing_o can_v speak_v worse_o for_o it_o must_v needs_o call_v for_o vengeance_n and_o punishment_n and_o therefore_o there_o seem_v at_o first_o view_n to_o be_v little_a commendation_n give_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o say_v that_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n for_o it_o can_v not_o speak_v worse_o but_o to_o say_v it_o speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o very_a first_o sacrifice_n we_o read_v of_o that_o god_n accept_v and_o give_v testimony_n to_o &_o of_o the_o best_a man_n than_o in_o the_o world_n carry_v great_a advantage_n in_o the_o comparison_n this_o interpretation_n upon_o this_o account_n seem_v probable_a and_o be_v plausable_a but_o it_o be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v reject_v by_o the_o word_n upon_o this_o account_n that_o the_o voice_n and_o cry_v that_o abel_n blood_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v after_o his_o death_n and_o god_n tell_v cain_n his_o brother_n blood_n cry_v unto_o he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v abel_n own_o blood_n that_o cry_v now_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o apostle_n in_o say_v that_o christ_n blood_n speak_v better_a thing_n than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n speak_v allude_v to_o the_o speak_n and_o cry_v of_o abel_n blood_n from_o the_o ground_n unto_o god_n as_o it_o be_v record_v in_o genesis_n the_o jew_n have_v not_o only_o many_o false_a and_o pernicious_a instructor_n ready_a to_o dissuade_v they_o from_o receive_v the_o gospel_n at_o first_o but_o after_o any_o of_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o there_o be_v many_o false_a judaize_v apostle_n who_o endeavour_v all_o they_o can_v to_o engage_v they_o to_o a_o relapse_n and_o apostasy_n either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n the_o apostle_n business_n as_o have_v be_v often_o suggest_v be_v to_o prevent_v this_o latter_a and_o to_o establish_v such_o as_o have_v receive_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n but_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o draw_v back_o now_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o among_o other_o discouragement_n

blood_n of_o this_o mediator_n and_o take_v it_o upon_o themselves_o and_o their_o posterity_n and_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n have_v open_o to_o their_o face_n reproach_v the_o jewish_a nation_n with_o it_o that_o they_o have_v be_v the_o betrayer_n and_o murderer_n of_o this_o holy_a and_o bless_a jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o can_v not_o reasonable_o hope_v for_o nor_o expect_v
