First, It showeth us, that it is Grace alone that saveth the sinner, pure Grace, Grace that admits of nothing of ours to be in the least a helper in the matter of our happiness; we are justified freely by his Grace through the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. As he saith by the Prophet, I will pour [CLEAN] water upon you, and you shall be clean, and from all your Idols will [I] cleanse you. Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord. Be ye ashamed, and confounded for all your own evil ways, O House of Israel. Ezek. 36. 25, 26, 27, 32, 33. It is clean water indeed, it is clear in the nature of it, clear in the gift of it, and clear in the working of it: It washeth freely, throughly and perfectly: from all your Idols will I cleanse you, Rev. 21. 6. Ezek. 16. 9. Ezek. 36. 25, 26.
