The blood of Christ does speak also to Me. And how good and comfortable are the words of it! Soul be of good chear, thy sins are forgiven thee, thou hast destroyed thy self but in me is thy help and Salvation found. God was angry with thee, but I have appeased his Wrath. He whom thou wast ready to find
a consuming Fire, is become a God in Cove∣nant, nay a Father to thee. That blood which was shed upon the Cross has made thy Peace, though heretofore never so much a stranger, ne∣ver so great an Enemy. Behold Hell lockt up, thou shalt never fall into that place of Wo; behold the way into the Holiest of all is open. Thou hast liberty to come with boldness to the Throne of Grace, and within a little while thou shalt have an abundant entrance into Glory! Dear Lord! What am I, that blood, and such blood as thine, should be shed for me! Why wast thou at such expence and cost for the Redemption, and Salvation of such a Wretch, such a Rebel! Thou hast mercy because thou wilt have mercy, thy exceeding rich and glorious Grace must be matter of a delightful transport and sweet astonishment to Eternity.
