1. The unvaluable preciousness of the Blood of Christ, that cleanseth Sinners from all sin and unrighteousness, 1 Joh. 1.8, 9. The precious Blood of Christ purgeth the Consciences of Sinners from dead works, Heb. 9.14. And ⟨p. 29⟩Christ both justifieth and sanctifieth Sinners by his precious Blood, Rom 5.9. Heb. 13.12. & 1 Cor. 6.11. This speaks forth the worth of Christ.
2. God shows the Sinner in the Glass of the Gospel, the unsearchable Riches of Jesus Christ, Eph. 3.8. the exceeding Riches of his Grace, Eph. 2.7.
