2. This Price is Redemptive from the stain of Sin, the power of Sin and the tyranny of Satan, and that by procuring the holy Spirit for us; We are saved by the renewing of the holy Ghost, and that is shed on us through Jesus Christ, Tit. 3. 5, 6. and where it is shed, there it redeems.
1. From the stain of Sin; Sin is the dross or rust of the Soul, Isai. 1. 22. but the Spirit refines and purifies from it; Sin is the ⟨p. 248⟩wrinkle of the old man, Eph. 5. 27. but the Spirit smooths and removes it. Christ came by water and blood, 1 Joh. 5. 6. and the water sprung out of the blood; the Spirit is that clean water, Ezek. 36. 25. which fetcheth out the spots and stains of Sin, and that healing water coming out from the side of the Temple, even the pierced side of Christ, Ezek. 47. 1. which by degrees cures all the Ulcers and Plague-sores of the heart. The Corinthians were all over mire and dirt, but they were washed in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of God, 1 Cor. 6. 11. the Spirit washed them, and washed them in the name of Jesus, that is, for his Merits sake. The Soul in sinning runs to the Cabul of the Creature, dirtying and fouling it self; but the Spirit brings it back again to the holy one, and as it approaches nearer and nearer to him the macula peccati goes off, and the nitor animae appears.
