By this washing them also in the same precious Blood: Nothing could purge away the Filth and Guilt of our polluted Souls, but Christ's Blood; and if he wash us not, we have no part with him: He hath loved us, and washed us from our Sins in his own Blood. This Love is wonderful Love, amazing Love, exceeding all Love. ¹O in what a Stream, in what a Fountain are the Sheep of Christ washed! Think upon it, our Pollution was great, but Christ hath washed us. God sent his Son to take away our Sin, and it must be done this way; It is the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son that cleanses ²us from all Sin.
