impossibility of obtaining it Secondly these false principles removed set upon the meanes by which it may be had And they are these First Faith in the blood of Christ There is no pardon to be had without blood It was the Doctrine of the legall Sacrifices Heb. 9.22 Almost all things are by Law purged with blood and without shedding of blood is no remission And it is not any blood that will serve the turne not the blood of Bulls and Goates Heb. 10.4 It is not possible that the blood of buls and goats should take away sinnes David then might under the Law haue soone had his iniquitie taken away nor yet the blood of men God neuer appointed men to be sacrificed as the Heathens did and as the Idolatrous Israelites did Psal 106.37 38. because as impossible for mans blood as goates blood to take away sin but it must bee the blood of God Act. 20. that is the blood of the Lord Christ who is God Remission of sin is to be had alone by the blood of Christ It is his blood that washes from sinne Apoc. 1.5 yea it is his blood that washes white Apoc. 7.14 God promises to give a white stone to him that overcomes Apoc. 2.17 to give the pardon of sinne A man must be washed in Christs blood and washed white in that before hee can have that white stone given him It is then Christs blood that takes away iniquity But now this blood takes not away unlesse this blood be applyed It washes white but yet there must be washing before there can be whitenesse Therefore the Apostle speakes not onely of blood but of the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ 1 Pet. 1 2. It is not enough that there be the blood of Christ and that hee hath shed it but there must be besides the shedding of it the sprinkling of it Christs blood was shed upon the Crosse and yet all mens sinnes are not pardoned and what is the reason Because though his blood were shed on the Crosse yet that blood is not sprinkled upon their hearts and consciences And pardon must be had not onely from blood shed but from blood sprinkled Therefore David prayes Psal 51. Purge mee with hysope it was the blood that purged but yet it was the hysope that sprinkled the blood It must be sprinkled blood that must be purging blood So it must be Christs blood sprinkled upon the conscience that must take away iniquity Well but how comes Christs blood to be sprinkled upon the conscience It is true that Christ sprinkles his blood upon a sinner Eze. 36.25 I will sprinkle cleane water upon you and yee shall be cleane and Isa 52.15 So shall hee sprinkle many Nations but yet it is as true that a sinner must besprinkle himselfe also Wee must not shuffle off all to Christ and say It is hee that must sprinkle us with his blood and if hee will but sprinkle me then my sinne shall be pardoned But if wee will have our iniquity taken away wee must besprinkle our selves Lay these two Texts together Apoc. 1.6 Hee hath washed us from our sinnes in his own blood Apoc. 7.14 They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lambe So that not onely Christ washes but they also themselves wash with Christs blood And therefore it is that men are called upon to wash themselves Isa 1.15 Wash you make you cleane It is cleere therefore that some way men must have an hand in washing and sprinkling themselves with Christs blood if they will have pardon But now how may a man wash and besprinkle himselfe That is done by faith and by beleeving in Christ Therefore Rom. 3.25 through faith in his blood Faith is the hand of the soule and the soule by faith puts her hand into Christs blood puts her hand into the wounds of Christ takes there of his blood and besprinkles her selfe and washes and wrinces off her guilt and defilement Faith taking Christs blood and besprinkling the soule with it applying it unto the conscience thereby is iniquity taken away and pardoned Zech. 13.1 Christs blood is a fountaine opened for sinne viz. to take away sinne and iniquity God opens that Fountaine and there is an healing vertue in that Bath to purge and cure the soule from guilt But now though there be an healing vertue in the Bath yet a man cannot be healed unlesse hee will goe into the Bath When the Angel moved in the waters at the poole of Bethesda there was some healed but not every one that was diseased but hee that first stept in Men might have lyen long enough in the porches of Bethesda looking on the water and motion and still have beene as leprous and filthy as before but hee that would be healed must step in must plunge himselfe into the poole So Christs blood that fountaine is opened to take away sinne but it is not lying by the fountaine nor looking onely upon the fountaine but it is stepping into the fountaine and wrincing and washing in that fountaine that takes away sinne Now faith is that by which a man goes into that fountaine by which hee washes and wrinces himselfe in that fountaine by which hee plunges and douzes himselfe in the poole and so gets off his guilt Hence it is that in Scripture we are said to have pardon by faith Act. 13.38 Through this man is preached unto you and so offered unto you the forgivenesse of sinnes I it is offered to us in him but how shall we come by it vers 39. And by him all that beleeve are justified from all things c. Matth. 9.2 hee seeing their faith viz. The palsey mans as well as the other said unto the sicke of the palsey Sonne be of good comfort thy sinnes are forgiven thee Luc. 7.48 49 50. And hee said unto her thy sinnes are forgiven And they that sate at meate with him began to say within themselves Who is this that forgiveth sinnes also And hee said to the Woman Thy faith hath saved thee goe in peace There is then the way to get iniquity taken away Faith layes every beleevers sinnes upon Christ as upon the scape goate and he as the scape goate beares and carries them away into a land of separation Thus then remission is had by blood by the blood of Christ by his blood shed by his blood sprinkled upon us by faith in his blood by faith sprinkling and washing us with the blood by faith applying his blood and merit to our selves So then if wee would get sin taken away wee must get faith in Christs blood and strive and wrestle hard to beleeve It is a very hard thing to beleeve in Christs blood A great many thinke it easie to beleeve in Christ and the truth is that it is easie to beleeve as they doe they come easily by their faith that it may well be questioned whether they come honestly by it or not As therefore wee ever desire to
have our sinnes pardoned so never give wee our soules rest till wee have gotten true faith indeed So long as you live and goe on in your unbeleefe it is impossible to have the pardon of sinne Hee that beleeveth not the wrath of God abideth on him Joh. 3. ult There is no pardon so long as under wrath So long as in unbeleefe so long under wrath Tit. 1. To the unbeleeving all things are unclean their consciences being defiled So long then as a man is in unbeleefe so long hee is defiled because sinne being not pardoned the guilt thereof defiles his conscience and his person How many be there that have had the pardon of sinne preached to them and offered to them in the Gospel in the Name of Christ and yet to this day their sinnes are upon them and not taken away And what is the reason of it Because they are not sprinkled with Christs blood And why not Because they want an hand of faith to take the blood of Christ which is shed and to sprinkle it upon their owne consciences And so for want of faith they have all their sinnes lye unpardoned upon their soules Secondly repentance for sin There is no pardon to be had without repentance As there is a faith unto life Joh. 6.47 Hee that beleeveth on mee hath life And a justification of life Rom. 5.18 So there is a repentance unto life Act. 11.18 And as the Lord Christ is a Saviour so hee is a Prince Act. 5.13 And to what end is hee both A Prince and Saviour for to give repentance to Israel and forgivenesse of sinne Hee indeede gives forgivenesse of sinne but hee also gives repentance yea and hee gives repentance that he may give pardon And where hee intends the latter hee workes the former David begs to have his iniquity taken away God hee promises to take away another thing Ezek. 36.26 I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh It is a sure thing that they that will have iniquity taken away must have the stony heart taken away they that will have the sting taken out of their heart must have the stone taken out of their heart hee gives repentance and remission of sinnes when he gives remission hee takes away the sting when hee gives repentance hee takes away the stone and he first takes away the stone before hee removes the sting And therefore Christ joynes both these together in the commission hee gives his Apostles Luc. 24.47 And that repentance and remission be preached in his Name They that preach remission in Christs Name and preach repentance in his Name they must first preach repentance before they preach remission All to teach that they must have repentance that will have remission and that repentance is a speciall meanes to get the pardon of sinne And therefore wee shall see that the promises of pardon are made to repentance that when God promises to give pardon of sinne to any hee promises it to such as are so conditioned and so qualified with repentance Zech. 13.1 There is the promise of a fountaine that shall be opened for sinne that is to take away the sinne of Judah and Jerusalem I but that fountaine is yet unto the Jewes a sealed fountaine their iniquity is not taken away they yet lye under their guilt But yet there is a promise of a day when that sealed fountaine shall be broken up and shall be opened But what day is it In that day In what day It hath reference to that which goes before in the former chapter See vers 10 11. c. They shall looke upon me whom they have pierced that is they shall beleeve in Christ whom they crucified And upon it they shall mourne for him c. They shall repent for that sinne of the rejection of Christ and the murder of him In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem c. And in that day shall a fountaine be opened to the inhabitants of Jerusalem In that day then that Jerusalem shall mourne in that day shall the fountaine be opened to Jerusalem for sinne Oh that mine head sayes Ieremy were as a fountaine of teares When their heads and hearts shall be opened as a fountaine of teares to mourne for their sinnes then shall the fountaine of Christs blood be opened for their sinnes When they shall wash themselves in the fountaine of teares of repentance in that day will God wash them in the fountaine of Christs blood The day of repentance is the day of pardon in that day a sinner repents in that day God pardons and takes away iniquity There is no question but the Lord lives by his owne rule which he gives us to live by The rule hee gives us to live by is that Luc. 17.3 4. If hee repent forgive him if hee trespasse against thee seven times yet if he say I repent you shall forgive him As upon a brothers repentance wee must forgive so upon our repentance God will forgive Repent and thy brother must forgive and repent and God will forgive Alas what are our mercies to the mercies of God Gods mercies are an Ocean a boundlesse bottomlesse sea of mercies our mercies are but small drops out of this Sea Now if God do binde us that have but poore small and a few drops to be thus mercifull as upon repentance to forgive them then surely the Lord whose mercies are as the waters of the Sea that cover the earth upon our repentance will give us pardon or else our drops should do more than his Sea and hee should binde us to doe more with our drops of water then hee will doe with his whole Sea Surely as mans power wisdome justice cannot exceed Gods so neither can mans mercies and compassions goe beyond his He that will have a trespasser against man pardoned upon his repentance before man hee will pardon a trespasser against God upon his repentance before him To this purpose also are those promises Isa 1.16 17 18. Come now c. Now When Wash you make you cleane c. and then come and though your sinnes be as Scarlet c. Scarlet is a deepe dye a dye that will hold a dye that will not easily be fetcht out not easily made white And yet God promises to turne scarlet colour into snow colour scarlet into white It is easie to turne white into scarlet but not so easie to turne scarlet into white And yet God will doe it Hee will wash them with the scarlet blood of Christ and that shall turne their scarlet into white Other blood dyes and staines what is washed in it but Christs blood takes out staines and makes white Apoc. 7.14 These are they which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lambe I but when will God thus change their scarlet white when will hee take away their iniquity Then when they were washed and made cleane c.
