look once again, and thou shalt find a blasphemer, a persecuter, (for such was Paul himselfe ) nay murderers, even those who had a hand in the murder of Christ himselfe, (for such were those converts at St. Peters sermon) cleansed mercyfully by this very bloud which they shed so cruelly. Sinners, this bloud still as it were runs afresh, and the efficacy of it is as full now, as it was at first, onely remember that this bloud which was shed, cleanseth not unlesse it be sprinkled, so much David intimateth in that prayer, purge me with hisope, hysope being that by which the bloud of sacrifice was sprinkled, to which answereth faith, wereby our souls are sprinkled with this bloud of Christ. The brazen Serpent cured those who were stung with the fiery Serpent, but not without their looking on it: The bloud of Christ can cleanse us from all our sins, but not without our applying it. Go then oh sinner in a sence of thy own filthiness to thy blessed Saviour, say to him with the Leper, Lord if thou wilt thou canst make me clean, with the Father of the child, Lord I believe, help my unbelief, remember his gracious invitation to come, and his comfortable promise of ease, and be not faithless but beleeving. Nor needest thou mingle any water with this bloud, popish pennances, pilgrimages, indulgencies or any such like inventions of superstitious dotages, this bloud alone can cleanse ▪ and by joyning any thing with it, thou dost what lyeth in thee to defile and debase this bloud. To him then, and him alone ; |
look once again, and thou shalt find a blasphemer, a Persecutor, (for such was Paul himself) nay murderers, even those who had a hand in the murder of christ himself, (for such were those converts At Saint Peter's sermon) cleansed mercifully by this very blood which they shed so cruelly. Sinners, this blood still as it were runs afresh, and the efficacy of it is as full now, as it was At First, only Remember that this blood which was shed, Cleanseth not unless it be sprinkled, so much David intimateth in that prayer, purge me with Hyssop, hyssop being that by which the blood of sacrifice was sprinkled, to which Answers faith, whereby our Souls Are sprinkled with this blood of christ. The brazen Serpent cured those who were stung with the fiery Serpent, but not without their looking on it: The blood of christ can cleanse us from all our Sins, but not without our applying it. Go then o sinner in a sense of thy own filthiness to thy blessed Saviour, say to him with the Leper, Lord if thou wilt thou Canst make me clean, with the Father of the child, Lord I believe, help my unbelief, Remember his gracious invitation to come, and his comfortable promise of ease, and be not faithless but believing. Nor Needest thou mingle any water with this blood, popish penances, Pilgrimages, Indulgences or any such like Inventions of superstitious dotages, this blood alone can cleanse ▪ and by joining any thing with it, thou dost what lies in thee to defile and debase this blood. To him then, and him alone; |
