X. It was not enough for the Jews to have the Lamb slain, and the Blood shed within the House, but the Blood must be sprinkled without Doors; signifying (as some observe) If Christ's Blood, (i. e. the Merits of it,) be received into our Hearts for Justification, the sprinkling of it will appear, and be seen outwardly in a holy Life, and real Sanctification.
1XI. The Blood of the Lamb was to be sprinkled with a Bunch of Hyssop dipped in it, which might signify, that such who would be sprinkled with Christ's Blood must obtain true Faith; for Hyssop bears a Resemblance to Faith in three things: (1.) It is a ground, low, and weak Herb: Faith in it self, and as it is in Believers, is weak, and teacheth Humility. (2.) It will grow on a Rock or Wall: So Faith roots it self in Christ, that true spiritual Rock. (3.) Hyssop hath a cleansing and healing quality: So Faith purifies the Heart and Life of a Sinner, and heals all the Sores of a wounded Conscience.
