6.1 The blood of Christ, in regard of the cry of it, is styled better. It is said to speak better things then that of Abel: because Abel's blood cried for vengeance; Christs, for pardon. Christ when he was upon the cross, where he shed his blood,2 thus cried, Father, forgive them. Yea further Christs blood is better then that blood which was shed on the Altars under the Law:3 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins: 4but the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.
