The last thing to be observed is, that he calleth their 1heinous sins by the name of blood; to note both unto them and us, that sin maketh us subject to the greatest guilt and punishment, even to the shedding of blood, yea, our dearest life blood. So the Lord threatened our first parents. Gen. 2. 17. In the day that ye eat thereof, ye shall dye the death. 2And Ezech. 18. he reckoneth up divers sins, and concludeth 3that he who committeth any of them, shall dye the death, and that his blood shall be upon him. Verse. 13. And this was signified by the sacrifices of the Law, in which for the expiation of sin, was required the shedding of blood: for the the Apostle saith, Heb. 9. 22. almost all things are by the 4law, purged with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. In the offering whereof the law provided, that 5the offender should lay his hands upon the head of the beast which was slain, thereby testifying that by his sin, he had justly deserved that death which the poor beast suffered. Not that the blood of Bulls and Goats could take away the guilt and punishment of sin, but only the precious blood of Christ, which was thereby signified and prefigured. Heb. 9. 12.6
The last thing to bee obserued is, that hee calleth their 1hainous sinnes by the name of bloud; to note both vnto them and vs, that sin maketh vs subiect to the greatest guilt and punishment, euen to the shedding of bloud, yea, our dearest life bloud. So the Lord threatned our first parents.
