Sacramental meditations upon divers select places of scripture

Thirdly: Is there any among you that droop, and are discouraged in their spirits, because of their manifold aggravated Iniquities? who being over-weighed with the burdensome sense of sin, despond and sink in their minds: to such I would apply the words of my Text as a sovereign Cordial to revive their hearts and hopes. Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world.

Thirdly: Is there any among you that droop, and are discouraged in their spirits, because of their manifold aggravated Iniquities? who being over-weighed with the burdensome sense of sin, despond and sink in their minds: to such I would apply the words of my Text as a soveraign Cordial to revive their hearts and hopes. Behold the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world.

If the Blood of the Lamb can take away the sin of the world, it can take away thy sin, though there be a world of sin in thee: For do but consider Christ as designed from Eternity to be our Propitiation, Joh. 6. 27. Him hath God the Father Sealed, as Sacrificed in our room in the fullness of time, 1 Cor. 5. 7. Christ our Passover is Sacrificed for us; as accepted by the Father with greatest content and pleasure; even as a ⟨p. 99⟩sweet smelling savour, Eph. 5. 2. as publicly justified and discharged by God the Creditor at his Resurrection, 1 Tim. 3. 16. and John 16. 9. And lastly, Consider him as now in Heaven, where he appears before God for us, as a Lamb that had been slain, Rev. 5. 6. bearing the very marks of his death, and presenting them before God, as the most effectual and moving plea to procure pardon and mercy for his people. Let these things, I say, be duly pondered, and nothing will be found more effectual to relieve the despondent minds of poor Believers against the sinking sense of their sin.
