VERSE 3.

BVt the offerers of them have still conscience of sinne.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is put for 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

Not onely of their present sins, but of their sinnes past too. All of them doe lye as a loade still on their consciences, whereof the yeerely sacrifice by the High-Priest putteth them in minde, Levit. 16.21.

As they in the time of the Law had many sacrifices to put them in remembrance of sinne: so wee in the time of the Gospell have many remembrancers of sinne. Sundry Monitours to admonish us that we be sinners. The Raine-bow may be a remembrance of sin to us, that the world was once drowned for sinne, and that it might be so still, but for the goodnesse and mercy of God. Baptisme dai∣ly ministred in the Church putteth us in minde of sinne: for if we were not sinners, we needed not to be baptized. The Lords Supper puts us in minde of sinne: doe this in remembrance of me, that my body was broken for you and my bloud shed for you on the Crosse. The immoderate showers that come oft in harvest, and de∣prive us of the fruits of the earth, may put us in minde of sin: for they bee our sinnes that keepe good things from us. Our moyling and toyling for the sustentation of our selves with much care and wearisome labour: for if we had not sinned, it shold not have bin so. The sicknesses and diseases that bee among us, terrible agewes that bring men to deaths doore, and continue with them many weekes together: the plague and pestilence that hath raged among us, swept many, thousands away, and in a manner consumed some Townes, &c. the death of so many of our brethren and sisters con∣tinually before our eyes, &c. may put us in minde of sin, for if we had not sinned, wee should not have dyed. There bee a number of things to put us in minde of sinne: but there is nothing that can take away sinne, but Iesus Christ, the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world. All these should humble us, and make us to knocke on our breasts with the poore Publican, and say, ô God bee mercifull to us sinners. Therefore let us all flye to this heavenly Phy∣sition for the curing of us.
