3. For what remission of sins is granted.
Remission of sins is granted not verily of any lenity,1 which is repugnant to justice: but, 1. Of the free mercy of God, and of mere grace, and Gods free love. 2. For the intercession and merit of Christ applied by faith: Christ hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. The blond of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin. It pleased the Father that in Christ should all fullness dwell: and by him to reconcile all things to himself, and to set at peace, through the blood of his cross, both the things in earth, and the things in heaven. 2Ye are come to Jesus the Mediator of the new Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things then that of Abel. By Christ we have redemption through his blood, even forgiveness of sins, 3according to his rich grace. For entreaty cannot be made without satisfaction: because that we are to desire that God would yield somewhat of his justice.
