not paid at all. So now 'tis here, The Lord Jesus Christ, he hath come and cross't our book with his own blood: the sins are to be read in your own consciences, but we being not acquainted with the nature of Christs satisfaction, and the crossing of the book, we charge our selves, as if no sin at all were satisfied for us: Yet when the Lord Jesus Christ was made an offering for sin upon the Cross, then he did give full satisfaction unto God the Father. And that's the Third.Fourthly, This now he hath done as our great High-Priest, and in a more transcendant, and eminent way, than ever any high-Priest did before. For, though the High-Priest did come, and make an atonement for a poor sinner, yet he himself was never made a sacrifice; the Priest offered up a sacri∣fice, but himself never was made a sacrifice. But our great High-Priest, does not only offer up a sacrifice, but Himself is made a sacrifice. Yea, that sacrifice, that was then in the times of the old-Testament, it could not purge the con∣science; not only, because (as the Apostle speaks) it was the blood of bulls, and goats: but because the sacrifice was performed successively; as thus, A man sinned, then he brought a sacrifice; sins again, and then he brings another sicrifice: and once every yeare, the High-Priest goes into the holy of holiest to make an atonement: But in the mean while, a poor soul might think thus, What if I die before the year come about, what will become of me? the High-Priest, he goes once a year into the Holy of Holyest, and sprinkles the mercy-seat, but what will become of me if I die before that time? But now, our great High-Priest, he does not only offer up a sacrifice, and Himself the sacrifice; but he offers up a sacrifice once for all. (So saies the Apostle) So that now, when a Christian hath sinned, he is not to think of a sacrifice that is yet to come, a year hence, but he is to look unto that which is done already, a sacrifice once offered, and once for all; So that he needs not be in suspence now, as the Jewes were, his Conscience, it may be fully purged from sin.0
