A. The blood of Christ, is here put, not only for that blood shed on the Cross, but for his whole death, set out by blood, which was the effect of his death, for blood poured out after his death, John 19.33, 34. for it is said of the death of Christ, Rom. 5.8. And the death of Christ is not all, for he suffered many things beside, so that it comprehends all his sufferings, 1 Pet. 3.18. yet there is a further Synecdoche, sometimes his passion is put for his whole obedience, Rom. 5.18, 19. Luke 22.44. for that is attributed to his obedience, that it makes us righteous, that is, free from sin; all his Spiritual desertions, were sufferings of Christ, tending to cleanse u• from sin; blood includes all his sufferings and obedience; And indeed the very blood of Christ, had it not been done in obedience and humility, it would have done no good, for the promise is to him that doth something, Do this and live, John 10.18. his passion was done in obedience, Phil. 2.7, 8.
