The Renewed sprinkling, is upon a two-fold account,— 1. Upon the account of some great sin committed,— and 2. Upon the account of some special duty to be performed.

Title, A Psal• of David, when Nathan the Prophet came unto him that was, after Nathan came to him.— And what di• ⟨p. 405⟩Nathan say, he told him his sin was pardoned, yet saith David, v. 7. Purge me with Hyssop, I must have a fresh sprinkling; after some great sin committed there must be a fresh sprinkling with the blood of Jesus.
