5. There is no other way of Peace with God, and therefore a Necessity of Christ's Mediation; because without the shedding of Blood, 1there is no Remission; no Pardon, and so no Peace; there could be no discharge from the guilt of Sin, no removal of the Punishment of Sin, nor any Purgation from the filth and pollution thereof, without the Blood of Christ be shed.
