Besides, The saving virtue of his Death as it reaches to all former, so to all succeeding Ages. He is the same, yesterday, to day, and for ever; not only in respect of his Person, but his Office. 1The virtue of the Legal Sacrifices expired with the Offering: upon a new sin they were repeated. Their imperfection is argued from their repetition. But the precious Oblation of Christ hath an everlasting efficacy to obtain full Pardon for Believers. His Blood is as powerful to propitiate God, as if it were this day shed upon the Cross. He is able to save to perpetuity all that shall address to God by Him: Since He ever lives to make Intercession▪ The Pardon that He once purchased, shall ever be applied to contrite Believers. The Covenant that was sealed with his Blood is eternal, and the Mercies contained in it.
