2. Because this blood answers to the types of the legal sacrifices. This our Apostle exemplifies in a large conference. hThe first Testament was not dedicated without blood. Moses sprinkling the book and all the people, said, This is the blood of the Testament. Almost all things are by the Law purged by blood, and without shedding of blood is no ⟨p. 156⟩remission. No reconciliation, no remission without blood. All directed us to this Lamb of GOD, whose blood only vindicates us from eternal condemnation. Not that the blood of a mere man could thus merit; but of that man who is also God: therefore it is called the iBlood of God.
