1. He is there a Priest for ever, intercepting betwixt the Divine Presence, and all that hate us, by his Blood; Sin, Satan, Death, Hell, the Law, the Grave, or the like, cannot be heard, if his Blood be presented to God, as the Atonement for us: This is called the Blood of Sprinkling which speaks better things than the Blood of Abel, Heb. 12. 24. By this Blood he entered into Heaven, by this Blood he secureth from wrath, all that come unto God by him: but should his Blood have had a Voice in Heaven to save withal, had it not merited first, even in the Shedding of it, the Ransom, and Redemption of Souls.

Having obtained Eternal Redemption for us.
