For through him we both have an Access by one Spirit unto the Father At this Door of Christs Blood enters Acceptance with God There 's an Acceptation through Christ and his Blood as to Person and as to Performance There is through Christs Blood an Acceptation as to Person Man was indebted and the Blood of Christ went to pay the Reckoning Eph. 1.6 Ye are bought with a price Christs Blood went for pay To the praise of the glory of his grace wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved There is through Christs Blood an Acceptation as to Performance As God hath respect to the Person of an Abel so to the Oblation of an Abel but respect to both through Christ Christ is a merciful and faithful high Priest Heb. 2.17 in things partaining to God to make riconciliation for the Sin of the People At this Door of Christs Blood enters Salvation Is not Salvation a great thing Is not this worth the hearing worth the having Is not Damnation a bitter Pil a bitter Potion This Salvation is through Christs 〈◊〉 from Wrath and from 〈◊〉 〈…〉 If the wrath of a King be as the Messenger of death 〈◊〉 what 's the wrath of a God then the wrath of the God of Gods then Christ by his blood saveth from wrath Rom. 4.25 Who was delivered for our offences and raised again for our Justification From Sin As the Blood of Christ saveth from the Guilt of Sin so from the Filth of Sin He shall save the People from their Sins Mat. 1.21 As Christ is a Saviour for Sin so from Sin What Vse may be made of this Lastly that Christ wash●th from Sin in his own Blood Here are three uses USE Caution Comfort Counsel Now this Use hath a double Aspect By way of Caution and looks unto the washed and unwashed Now if so there must be a distinct discussion in a way of Caution Art loved To the washed and washed be cautioned then against sinning for Christs Blood must go for washing Beloved what all the water in the Sea cannot do the Blood of Christ can do If thou beest washed from Sin 't is by Christs Blood What Man in his wits will be lavish of his blood Oh what Soul in love with Christ being loved of Christ will be lavish of Christs Blood Soul if there be sinning by Thee and Mee his Blood must go for washing Hath not Christ bled enough already when he hath bled to death to an accursed death but must he bleed again That as he was pierced again must he bleed again Jo. 20.27 Come Thomas reach hither thy hand and thrust it into
