Inference 2.
* 1.1Did Christ die to sanctifie his people. Behold then the love of a Saviour. He loved us, and washed us from our sin in his own blood. He did not shed the blood of beasts as the Priests of old did, but his own blood, Heb. 9.12. And that no common, but pretious blood, 1 Pet. 1.19. The blood of God, one drop of which out values the blood that runs in the veins of all Adams po∣sterity. And not some of that blood, but all; to the last drop. He bled every vein dry for us, and what remain'd lodg'd about the heart of dead Jesus, was let out by that bloody Spear which pierced the Pericardium: so that he bestow'd the whole treasure of his blood upon us. And thus liberal was he of his blood to us when we were enemies. This then is that heavenly Pelican that feeds his young with his own blood. O what manner of love is this! But I must hasten.
