The Metaphor of purging is taken from the Law: For almost all things are by the Law purged with blood, Heb. 9. 22. The *word here used, is sometimes put for the means of purging, Joh. 2. 6. and sometimes for the act it self of being purged, Mar. 1. 44. To make purgation (as the Greek phrase here soundeth) is to do that which is sufficient to purge, and by a metonymy of the cause, it also implieth the very act of purging. Now Christ by shedding his blood, hath done that which is sufficient to purge away sin: yea, that which he hath done, doth indeed purge the soul, when it is rightly applied. In both these respects it is said, The blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin, 1 Joh. 1. 7.
