The application of redemption

Concerning the sight of sin so far as it serves our turn in a true conviction of it, in that they stood here as accused by Peter and condemned in their own Consciences as guilty of no less than the blood of Jesus, we have already spoken.

The second thing in the text to be considered is the means how this was wrought. And these are two.

The first, is a particular Application of their special corruption, the Apostle doth not hover in the general and shoot at rovers, but comes close to them, chargeth them expressly in a special manner, and lets fly in the very faces of them, this Jesus whom ye have […], he names not, he blames not any other, he says not Judas was a wretch that betrayed him, the soldiers cruel that took him, Pilate base and fearful and […] that condemned him, no this is the Jesus and you are the men that have committed this villainy, A person could not be more innocent, a practice more bloody, you are men that stand guilty of this horrible abomination of Crucifying the Lord of Glory. The Doctrine from hence is this.
