Answer. No the blood of Christ will do all this for you, and it will make way for thee into heaven: as Hebr. 10.19, 20.

Answer. No the blood of Christ will doe all this for you, and it will make way for thee into heaven: as Hebr. 10.19, 20.

All you that have an interest in the great worke of God, either for brokennesse of heart, or vocation to call you to rely upon the Lord Jesus Christ, bee thou a sinner, If thou hast faith; I speake not of the measure of faith, but hast thou faith, then why sittest thou here drooping?
