Theophilus. Therefore it is more then need to cry with Isaiah: Be ye washed, Be ye 1clean. But how? Put away the evil from your thoughts, before mine eyes, saith the Lord. And with Jeremiah: O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness. And with 2Jesus Christ: Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the Cup and Platter that the outside of them may be clean also. Give alms of that you have, and behold all thing is clean unto you. And therefore must we say 3with David: O purge me with Hyssop and I shall be clean, wash thou me and I shall be whiter then Snow. For 4there is none, which can make that holy water, but he only, who hath put the ministry of his Gospel in his Church, which is the true sprinkling of Hyssop, which through the preaching of Jesus Christ crucified, sprinkleth and purgeth with his precious blood our souls and consciences.
