SInne is a filthie thing▪ yea a most cruell filthie thing, ô my soule, as thou mayst easily perceiue, and let this humble thee. Alwayes honorable and precious is that bloud of Iesus: forcible and strong beyond measure is that bloud of blessed Iesus, and let this comfort thee. Iesus his bloud is honorable and precious, for it can do a∣way the filth of sinne, making a man euen cleane in his eyes, before whom the well informed child of God striueth specially to be cleane; forcible and strong is that bloud of Iesus, for it can wash a man, not from one sinne, but from euery sinne, yea from all sinnes, were they neuer so mon∣strous, so presumptuous. Hast thou not, ô my soule, considered that first Chapter of Matthew for thine information, yea for thy speciall consolation, touching this point? O blessed Iesus my Sauiour, of whom art thou come according to the flesh, and so what fathers, what mothers, hath thy Maiestie as thou art man? is thy Maiestie, ô my Sauiour, onely come of A∣braham, and not of Pharez also, whom Iu∣dah begot on Tamar his daughter in law? Will thy Maiestie, ô my Sauiour, haue Sa∣rah onely, the wife of Abraham for thy

mother, and not Rahab the harlot, and Ruth the Moabitesse also? But wherefore, ô my soule, would blessed Iesus haue such fathers and such mothers according to the flesh? Surely, surely, to testifie before God, Angels, and men, that he came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance, were their sinnes neuer so many, and so monstrous, prouiding that they by a liuely faith could keepe that bloud which he hath shed to wash them, and by sincere repentance accompaning this their faith, testifie to the world that they haue lear∣ned (being taught by the Spirit) to ac∣count honourably of this his bloud shed for them?* 1.1
