Yea further, God hath loved thee so, as he hath pardoned 1all thy sins; here's another twist of Gods Love, in Rev. 1. 5. Unto him that hath loved us, and washed us from our sins, by his own blood. For his giving himself for us that is in Gal. 2. 20. He hath loved us, and washed us from our sins by his own blood: here's a fruit of Love. You do not 2hear it said, that Christ hath loved us and hath purchased great Kingdoms for us, hath made you Lords, and 3Earls, and Countesses, and so hath loved you; no, But he hath loved us, and washed us from our sins by his blood. Now it's a good argument; that the Love of God is upon you, if you account this to be a great fruit of Love to wash you from your sins by the blood of Jesus Christ; Surely if he will do so much for you, as shall cost him so ⟨p. 82⟩dear as his own blood, he loves you; the Love Jesus Christ broke through these difficulties, for when there were such transactions between the Father and Son about redeeming the Soul, saith God, If thou wilt take upon thee to deliver them from their sin, thou must come thy 4self and be made a Curse for their sins. What, will you undertake such a thing as that, to deliver them from their sin? it will cost you thus much. Saith Jesus Christ, Lord, thy will be done in it, yet let me deliver them from their sin, though I lose my life, though it cost me my blood, though I be made a Curse, whatsoever it cost me, yet let their sins be washed from them. He hath washed us from our sins, though it cost him his blood. Oh! the Love of Christ to his Saints! what Bonds of Love have we here! I have seen some that they may twist and bind their cords 5the more fast, they will wet them that so they may close and bind the more. Oh the Cords of the Love of Jesus Christ, are wet with his own blood.
