2. He is White in the beauty of his Innocency, and Holiness, and ruddy in the blood of his Oblation. Whiteness is the badge §. 10 of Innocency and Holiness. It is said of the Nazarites for their Typical Holiness, They were purer then snow, and whiter then Milk. Lam: 4. v. 7. And the Prophet shows us, that scarlet, red, and crimson, are the colours of Sin and Guilt, Whiteness of Innocency. eIsa: 1. v. 18. Our beloved was a Lamb without spot or blemish: 1 Pet: 1. 18. He did no sin, neither was there any guile found in his mouth. 1 Pet. 2. 22. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners. Heb. 7. 24. as afterwards will appear; and yet he, who was so White in his Innocency, was made ruddy in his own blood: and that two ways: Naturally, in the pouring out of his blood (his precious blood) in that Agony of his soul, when thick drops of blood trickled to the ground: Luk. 22. v. 24. as also when the Whips and thorns, nails and spears, poured it out abundantly: there came forth blood and water: Joh: 19. 34. He was ruddy, by being drenched all over in his own blood. And 2dly, Morally, by the Imputation of Sin, whose colour is red and Crimson. God made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: 2 Cor. 5. 21. He who was white, became ruddy for our sakes, pouring out his blood, an oblation for Sin. This also renders him Graceful: by his Whiteness, he fulfilled the Law, by his redness he satisfied Justice: this is our beloved, O ye daughters of Jerusalem.
