Secondly. God will display the Infinite Merit of our Lord Jesus Christ, by making the Vilest of Sinners feel the Efficacy of that Merit. If only Sinners, of an Ordinary Elevation in Sin, were Saved, the Merit of our Lord Jesus Christ, would not be seen to be of such an Unlimited Value as indeed it is. But when Extraordinary ⟨p. 16⟩Sinners, & the tallest Giants, and the fiercest Monsters, of Sin, come to be Saved, Then! Then indeed, it is made Evident, that the Blood o• Jesus Christ, the Son of God, cleanses from All Sin. Hence 'tis urged, Psal. 25.11. For thy Names sake, O Lord, Pardon mine Iniquity, for it is Great. What is Great? Why, As the Sin is Great, so, the Name is Great the Name of God, that is to say, the Christ of God. When Great Sin is Pardoned, it shows, that there is a Great Christ who has purchased the Pardon, and that he has paid a Great Price for the purchase of it, and that He is, A Saviour, and a Great One. When the Vilest of Sinners are Saved, […] is a vast Encouragement unto other Sinners to come unto the Lord Jesus Christ, who, they see, will not Cast out the Vilest of Sinners, when they Come unto Him, & whose Blood is an Open Fountain for the Vilest of Sinners. Thus the Apostle, 1 Tim. 1.15, 16. Christ Jesus came into the world, to Save Sinners ⟨p. 17⟩of whom I am Chief; I obtained Mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a Pattern to others. When the Chief of Sinners are Saved, there is a Pattern given, of what the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ can do for them that come unto it.
