Secondly, if we have sinned, this consideration should 1move us most earnestly to labour that Gods wrath may be appeased, his justice satisfied, and that we may be freed from the heavy burden of sin, which maketh us subject to death and condemnation. And considering that the guilt and punishment can not otherwise be done away, but by blood, even by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, which alone purgeth away all sin. 1 John 1. 7. Therefore when 2our consciences are guilty of sin, let us labour above all things in the world to apply unto our selves the virtue of Christs blood, death and merits, and hunger and thirst after his righteousness, that thereby being justified, we may stand righteous in his sight.
