An exposition upon the thirteenth chapter of the Revelation by that reverend and eminent…

Can we see the wrath of God rising again, first in our ⟨p. 180⟩souls, and breaking forth in fierceness of the Lords indignation? How shall we dare to tread under foot the blood of the Covenant, as if it were an unholy thing? If there were no other argument to discourage from sin, this alone might prevail, the nature of sin, that so deeply displeaseth God, as there is no satisfaction but by the blood of Christ; and to consider, that sin hath slaughtered Christ Jesus. And therefore the meditation of the slaughter and death of Christ, should be as a slaughtering knife to cut asunder all temptations to sin. What is it that all pleasures and profits can put upon us, to countervail the loss of the favour of God, and the blood of the Lamb? can any sin procure the favour of God, or any thing answerable to the favour of God? or can any allurements of the world, or temptations that can put upon us, or Satan's suggestions; can they make the blood of Christ an unworthy thing? or give us greater matters then the blood of Christ hath purchased? And therefore how shall we sin against the love of God? how shall we commit this great wickedness, and sin against God? sin against the blood of this immaculate Lamb of God. These very considerations are enough to cut off all sin.
