Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour was also shadowed out by thousands of burnt offerings of Bullocks, Goats, Lambs and fruits for sin-offerings and peace-offerings in all ages from the beginning of the World before Christs coming, whose blood and the blood of the paschal Lamb which were ⟨p. 5⟩slain by hundred thousands every year, was a shadow and a finger of the precious blood of our glorious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, which willingly offered up himself once for all, whose blood is a sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole World, if they had the grace to lay hold on him by a lively faith, but his death and merits shall save none of them but the faithful, and condemn the wicked Rebels because Christ was offered, and they would not regard him: Christ our High Priest is entered into Heaven, and maketh daily intercession for us: Now we need not to offer the blood of Bulls, Goats and Lambs.
