Thus doth Faith take up Arguments from God, his Nature, his Mercies.
2. It takes Arguments from our selves, 1. From the necessity of being cleansed. 2. From the conveniency thereof.
1 From the Necessity: Because otherwise, we can have no assurance of Justification. They who are freed from the guilt of sin, are freed from the filth of sin. They who partake of the Blood of Christ for pardon, partake of the water of Christ, to purge. — Christ came by Water and Blood. They who will have him a Redeemer, must have him also a Refiner, to take away their Swinish nature, to wash them inwardly; not outwardly: for so may a Swine be.
