1There must be a sprinkling of the blood of Christ on our souls, to make it our own▪ We are come to the blood of sprinkling, it is not the blood of Christ that makes our peace only as blood, but as it is sprinkled by the hand of faith, that is as the Hyssop that sprinkled the blood of the Sacrifice upon the people. We must not think to have any good by the blood of Christ, when we want the blood of sprinkling, that is, this particular faith: Christ loved me, and hath chosen me, and I choose him, and love him again, and so go with boldness to God as a Father, unless there be this passage of the soul, between God and us, let us not talk of peace: for if we might have good by Christ, without a spirit of application, and if there were not a necessity of sprinkling the blood of Christ upon our souls by faith, all the world should be saved.
