(1.) To apply the Promises of God, the Offers of Grace in the Word, and the Blood of Christ, and all these to purge out Corruption. It applieth the Blood of Christ, urgeth the Soul with it; he died to purchase that Grace which thou wantest. The Water and Soap cleanseth, but the Hand of the Laundress must apply it, and rub the Clothes that are washed. This is called sprinkling the Conscience with the Blood of Christ; Heb. 10.22. Let us draw near with a true Heart, in full assurance of Faith, having our Heart sprinkled from an evil Conscience, and our Bodies washed with pure Water. We should thus argue with our selves; Surely Christ died to sanctify Sinners, his Death cannot be in vain. Grace is bought at a dear rate: in the offers of the Word, God maketh a tender; why should I not accept of it? Heb. 4.2. For unto us was the Word preached as well as unto them, but the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with Faith in them that heard it. But we do not say, What shall we say to these things? By Faith the Plaster is laid on the Sore.
