grace_n it_o be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n heb._n 13._o 20._o now_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n god_n promise_v a_o world_n of_o mercy_n yea_o no_o less_o than_o a_o eternal_a world_n of_o mercy_n to_o his_o people_n and_o the_o sum_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v this_o i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n but_o this_o he_o branch_n out_o into_o many_o exceed_a great_a and_o precious_a promise_n wherein_o he_o say_v he_o will_v do_v thus_o and_o thus_o and_o all_o that_o be_v needful_a for_o his_o people_n take_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n together_o and_o there_o you_o have_v the_o whole_a covenant_n of_o grace_n unfold_v and_o explain_v and_o oh_o what_o a_o glorious_a covenant_n '_o it_o be_v how_o much_o do_v even_o one_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o this_o covenant_n carry_v in_o it_o so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v bless_a and_o for_o ever_o bless_v be_v all_o they_o who_o be_v partaker_n of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o all_o those_o great_a thing_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o they_o they_o have_v portion_n enough_o that_o have_v part_n in_o the_o promise_n but_o belove_v all_o this_o covenant_n and_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o it_o will_v be_v as_o nothing_o be_v it_o not_o for_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o which_o god_n seal_v all_o to_o believer_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v now_o the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o these_o be_v but_o seal_n of_o a_o second_o nature_n outward_o and_o visible_o but_o that_o which_o be_v represent_v and_o signify_v by_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n and_o by_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o great_a seal_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v 2_o cor._n 1._o 20._o that_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n in_o he_o be_v yea_o and_o in_o he_o amen_o you_o know_v when_o there_o be_v a_o covenant_n or_o conveyance_n make_v a_o man_n make_v great_a account_n of_o the_o conveyance_n but_o why_o because_o it_o have_v the_o seal_n to_o it_o for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o make_v it_o to_o be_v all_o of_o force_n if_o the_o seal_n be_v go_v what_o be_v all_o else_o worth_a now_o when_o jesus_n christ_n come_v to_o redeem_v his_o people_n he_o be_v fain_o as_o i_o may_v so_o express_v it_o to_o pawn_v his_o great_a seal_n for_o we_o that_o which_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v all_o that_o ever_o god_n have_v say_v he_o will_v do_v for_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o 2._o you_o will_v see_v the_o excellency_n of_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o too_o that_o no_o service_n or_o duty_n that_o ever_o be_v perform_v since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n or_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n ever_o be_v or_o ever_o will_v be_v accept_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o this_o blood_n i_o say_v since_o the_o fall_n because_o before_o that_o god_n deal_v with_o adam_n upon_o another_o score_n he_o be_v to_o be_v accept_v in_o the_o way_n of_o perfect_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n but_o since_o that_o if_o ever_o god_n do_v accept_v of_o one_o service_n or_o one_o sacrifice_n or_o of_o one_o duty_n it_o be_v always_o and_o altogether_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o this_o blood_n what_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o all_o the_o beast_n that_o be_v offer_v in_o sacrifice_n though_o in_o never_o so_o great_a abundance_n as_o you_o read_v there_o in_o 1_o king_n 8._o 63._o there_o be_v two_o and_o twenty_o thousand_o ox_n and_o a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o thousand_o sheep_n offer_v at_o one_o time_n yet_o i_o say_v what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o god_n have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o what_o be_v all_o that_o we_o do_v or_o can_v do_v in_o any_o service_n if_o we_o do_v look_v to_o this_o blood_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o and_o if_o god_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o we_o and_o our_o best_a work_n in_o this_o blood_n it_o be_v but_o abomination_n to_o he_o that_o be_v a_o notable_a place_n in_o heb._n 10._o 19_o 20_o 21_o 22._o have_v therefore_o brethren_n boldness_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n etc._n etc._n ver._n 22._o let_v we_o draw_v near_o with_o a_o true_a heart_n in_o full_a assurance_n of_o faith_n i._n e._n let_v we_o come_v and_o present_v our_o person_n and_o our_o service_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o with_o boldness_n note_v that_o there_o be_v acceptance_n for_o we_o but_o how_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n without_o that_o all_o will_v be_v nothing_o now_o what_o a_o precious_a thing_n must_v this_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o put_v value_n to_o all_o the_o service_n of_o the_o saint_n throughout_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o go_v to_o any_o duty_n without_o look_v at_o it_o and_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v not_o look_v upon_o any_o duty_n of_o you_o without_o sprinkle_v this_o blood_n upon_o it_o and_o by_o the_o way_n what_o a_o case_n be_v you_o in_o that_o rest_n in_o your_o duty_n and_o do_v it_o look_v to_o christ_n in_o they_o but_o think_v it_o be_v well_o enough_o if_o you_o do_v but_o take_v a_o bible_n and_o read_v or_o down_o upon_o your_o knee_n and_o pray_v and_o a_o hundred_o such_o thing_n but_o you_o have_v no_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o what_o you_o do_v you_o may_v think_v you_o have_v do_v some_o great_a matter_n now_o and_o oh_o this_o must_v need_v be_v accept_v whereas_o god_n never_o do_v nor_o ever_o will_v accept_v of_o any_o man_n person_n or_o work_n but_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o this_o blood_n i_o pray_v mind_n that_o scripture_n well_o there_o be_v much_o in_o it_o to_o this_o purpose_n rev._n 8._o 3_o 4._o and_o another_o angel_n come_v and_o stand_v at_o the_o altar_n have_v a_o golden_a censer_n and_o there_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o much_o incense_n that_o he_o shall_v offer_v it_o with_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o saint_n upon_o the_o golden_a altar_n which_o be_v before_o the_o throne_n and_o the_o smoke_n of_o the_o incense_n which_o come_v with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n ascend_v up_o before_o god_n out_o of_o the_o angel_n hand_n mark_v some_o thing_n 1._o this_o angel_n be_v christ_n 2._o his_o stand_n at_o the_o altar_n be_v his_o be_v as_o it_o be_v ready_a for_o we_o whenever_o we_o go_v to_o duty_n for_o on_o the_o altar_n under_o the_o law_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n offer_v 3._o he_o have_v a_o golden_a censer_n in_o which_o there_o be_v much_o incense_n which_o be_v his_o own_o righteousness_n 4._o and_o with_o this_o he_o offer_v their_o prayer_n he_o perfume_v their_o duty_n with_o his_o own_o spiritual_a incense_n 5._o they_o be_v not_o the_o prayer_n bare_o of_o man_n but_o of_o saint_n god_n own_o child_n who_o prayer_n be_v more_o pure_a and_o heavenly_a than_o other_o be_v even_o their_o duty_n must_v have_v this_o perfume_n 6._o nor_o of_o some_o saint_n but_o all_o 7._o and_o then_o that_o which_o make_v they_o ascend_v before_o god_n that_o be_v be_v accept_v of_o he_o be_v because_o the_o smoke_n of_o this_o incense_n go_v up_o with_o they_o without_o that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v a_o sweet_a savour_n unto_o god_n 3._o this_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v such_o a_o precious_a thing_n that_o it_o make_v god_n amends_o for_o sin_n if_o we_o do_v but_o know_v what_o unspeakable_a wrong_a sin_n do_v to_o god_n and_o what_o unspeakable_a dishonour_n god_n have_v by_o it_o we_o shall_v even_o be_v ready_a to_o ask_v this_o question_n how_o be_v it_o ever_o possible_a to_o make_v his_o bless_a majesty_n the_o least_o shadow_n of_o amends_o for_o it_o belove_a if_o you_o wrong_v or_o trepass_v your_o neighbour_n you_o can_v put_v that_o to_o a_o arbitration_n and_o make_v he_o amends_o for_o it_o but_o who_o be_v there_o of_o you_o that_o can_v make_v god_n a_o recompense_n for_o the_o sin_n which_o you_o have_v commit_v against_o he_o yea_o for_o the_o least_o transgression_n see_v mic._n 6._o 6_o 7._o all_o your_o tear_n
