It was the Song of his praise, Rev. 1.5. He hath Loved us, & Washed us, (and so Healed us) from our Sins, in His own Blood. The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, is a Sin-pardoning Blood, and a Sin-subduing Blood, and all the Help that we have against our Sin lies in the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ shed for our Sin.
