The Jerusalem-sinner saved, or, Good news for the vilest of men being a help…

This he said to them all, though he knew that they were such sinners. Yea, he said it without the least stick, or stop, or pause of Spirit, as to whether he had best to say so or no. Nay, so far off was Peter from making an Objection against one of them, that by a particular Clause in his Exhortation, he endeavours, that not one of them may escape the Salvation offered. Repent, saith he, and be Baptized every one of you. I shut out never a one of you. For I am commanded by my Lord, to deal with you, as it were, one by one, by the Word of his Salvation. But why speaks he so particularly? Oh! there were reasons for it. The People with whom the Apostles were now to deal, as they were Murderers of our Lord, and to be charged in the general with his Blood, so they had their various and particular acts of Villainy in the guilt thereof, now lying upon their Consciences. And the guilt of these their various and particular acts of wickedness, could not perhaps, be reached to a removal thereof, but by this particular ⟨p. 15⟩Application. Repent every one of you; be Baptized every one of you, in his Name, for the Remission of Sins, and you shall, every one of you, receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
