A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadful condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate. The latter tending to the directing and persuading of the godly and regenerate unto several singular duties. As also a word to householders stirring them up to the good old way of serving God in and with their families, from Joshua's resolution, Josh. 24. 15. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Set forth especially for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of St. Sepulchres Parish, London by Tho. Gouge, late pastor thereof.A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadfull condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate.

And therefore this we must lay as a foundation-truth, that Christs Sacrifice was a full satisfaction to the justice of his Father for the sins of the World; it being the Sacrifice of the Son of God, even of him who was God as well as man. For this is that which added an infinite value to what Christ did and suffered for our redemption, that it was the obedience and the sufferings of the Son of God, of him who was God equal with the Father: whereupon the blood of Christ, 1whereby we are redeemed is called precious blood: being of infinite price and merit, able to countervail and answer for all our sins, and to free us from the punishment due unto us for the same.
