Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Of blood in general, See Chap. 2. v. 14. §. 137. The Apostle doth not here speak of the blood of Christ as it remained in his veins; in that respect it would set forth the life of Christ, Gen. 9. 4, 5. but he speaketh of it as shed out of his body, for so it▪ signifieth death; and withal the kind of his death, which was a sacrifice: For the blood of those beasts which were made sacrifices under the Law, was shed, Lev. 1. 5. In reference to the blood of the beast sacrifices, frequent mention is made of Christs blood.

It was Christs death that ratified the new Covenant, whereby it became a Testament, (Hebr. 9. 16, 17.) Thereby this Covenant came to be unalterable, Gal. 3. 15.
