In heaven and in earth was there none found that could satisfy Gods anger for our sins, or get heaven for man, but only the Son of God, JESUS CHRIST, the Lyon of the Tribe of Judah, who by his blood hath wrought the work of Satisfaction; and he only is worthy all honour, glory, and praise; for he hath opened the book with the seven Seals.
In heauen and in earth was there none found that could satisfie Gods anger for our sins, or get heauen for man, but only the Son of God, IESVS CHRIST, the Lyon of the Tribe of Iuda, who by his bloud hath wrought the worke of Satisfaction; and he only is worthy all honour, glory, and prayse; for hee hath opened the booke with the seuen Seales.
Dearly beloved, therefore abhor this abomination, even to think that there is any other satisfaction to Godward for sin, then Christs blood only. Blasphemy it is, and that horrible, to think otherwise. The blood of Christ purifieth (saith Saint John) from all sin. And therefore he is called the Lamb slain from the beginning of ⟨p. 13⟩the world, because there was never sin forgiven of God, nor shall be from the beginning, until the end of the world, but only through Christs death: Prate the Pope and his Prelates as please them, with their Pardons, Purgatory, Purgations, Placebos, Trentals, Diriges, works of Supererogation, Superabomination &c.
