be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o our_o redemption_n be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n ephes_n 1.7_o revel_v 5.9_o and_o in_o the_o 1_o pet._n 1.19_o all_o run_v upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n revel_v 1.5_o we_o be_v wash_v from_o our_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n 1_o john_n 1.7_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n the_o fetch_v of_o we_o within_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n ephes_n 2.13_o and_o so_o indeed_o be_v the_o whole_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n ascribe_v to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n you_o see_v then_o how_o rich_a and_o plentiful_a the_o scripture_n be_v in_o this_o argument_n all_o tend_v whole_o to_o this_o effect_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o very_a matter_n whereupon_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v found_v and_o establish_v be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o insist_v so_o long_o upon_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n because_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o plentiful_a in_o it_o we_o will_v come_v now_o to_o the_o reason_n reas_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o covenant_n among_o man_n wherein_o stand_v it_o not_o in_o the_o make_n and_o write_v of_o it_o but_o in_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o covenant_n make_v between_o god_n and_o man_n that_o he_o will_v forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o will_v sanctify_v we_o and_o it_o be_v seal_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o all_o the_o covenant_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v firm_a and_o sure_a in_o themselves_o because_o god_n have_v make_v they_o and_o they_o need_v no_o seal_n yet_o because_o god_n have_v make_v this_o covenant_n respective_o that_o he_o will_v have_v it_o seal_v and_o confirm_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o look_v whatsoever_o force_n and_o benefit_n it_o be_v of_o to_o we_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o whosoever_o can_v show_v this_o seal_n for_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v part_n in_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o may_v challenge_v that_o they_o have_v their_o part_n in_o the_o covenant_n and_o whosoever_o can_v they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o it_o reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o testament_n which_o must_v always_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n and_o be_v not_o of_o force_n before_o the_o party_n be_v dead_a the_o apostle_n apply_v it_o so_o in_o hebr._n 9.16_o 17._o reas_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n a_o burn_v offer_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n no_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v kill_v and_o offer_v in_o blood_n levit._n 1.7_o and_o therefore_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n he_o must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v reas_n 4_o the_o four_o reason_n it_o hold_v by_o way_n of_o proportion_n between_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o old_a the_o old_a testament_n be_v confirm_v by_o blood_n and_o so_o must_v the_o new_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o pascall_n lamb_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o kill_v and_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v likewise_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v kill_v slay_v and_o blood_n shed_v so_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o shed_v his_o blood_n reas_n 5_o the_o five_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v necessary_o require_v it_o and_o can_v not_o be_v dispense_v withal_o but_o whosoever_o sin_n must_v die_v the_o death_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v our_o redeemer_n he_o must_v endure_v that_o death_n which_o we_o must_v have_v suffer_v else_o the_o law_n can_v never_o have_v be_v satisfy_v reas_n 6_o again_o it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n which_o must_v have_v a_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n it_o can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n act_v 20.28_o take_v heed_n therefore_o unto_o yourselves_o and_o to_o all_o the_o flock_n over_o the_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v you_o quer-seer_n to_o feed_v the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n mark_v now_o this_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n god_n be_v offend_v and_o he_o must_v receive_v full_a satisfaction_n therefore_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o satisfy_v he_o can_v not_o satisfy_v but_o only_o by_o his_o blood_n nay_o i_o say_v more_o christ_n can_v not_o have_v satisfy_v but_o that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o person_n satisfy_v may_v be_v answerable_a to_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o the_o person_n offend_v and_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n reas_n 7_o then_o another_o reason_n be_v the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o where_o be_v no_o shed_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n and_o therefore_o whosoever_o come_v as_o a_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o procure_v for_o we_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n his_o blood_n must_v be_v shed_v else_o our_o sin_n still_o remain_v unpardoned_a and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o reason_n the_o use_v use_v 1_o first_o it_o teach_v we_o what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o faith_n shall_v principal_o respect_v and_o look_v upon_o christ_n and_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o faith_n principal_o lie_v hold_v on_o when_o we_o do_v embrace_v

when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o come_v to_o behold_v jesus_n christ_n execute_v and_o put_v to_o death_n to_o every_o spiritual_a receiver_n in_o a_o

so_o if_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o part_n of_o the_o word_n that_o principal_o concern_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o meditate_v upon_o that_o which_o christ_n have_v tell_v we_o of_o beforehand_o that_o so_o we_o may_v believe_v it_o and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o notable_a mean_n through_o god_n blessing_n to_o make_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v believe_v that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v we_o and_o that_o it_o be_v effectual_a for_o our_o redemption_n the_o second_o use_n for_o instruction_n be_v this_o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v such_o a_o lively_a representation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n than_o this_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o public_a carriage_n of_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o the_o

to_o esteem_v and_o receive_v it_o gracious_o it_o be_v a_o course_n that_o god_n have_v use_v in_o all_o sacrament_n still_o to_o join_v together_o with_o the_o sacrament_n the_o word_n preach_v

many_o hundred_o year_n before_o out_o of_o the_o bondage_n of_o egypt_n so_o likewise_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n go_v teach_v all_o nation_n baptise_v they_o in_o the_o

three_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v make_v for_o therein_o likewise_o we_o show_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n first_o there_o must_v be_v confession_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o we_o must_v search_v
