P. P. We can Plead nothing but the Blood of our SAVIOUR!
M. And That plea, will do.— How much, How much, ought this Consideration to melt & break your Hearts within you? Can your Souls be any other than Surprised, Amazed, Ravished, when you consider it? The Eternal SON of GOD, united the Man JESUS unto Himself: having engaged unto His Eternal FATHER, That he would undergo the Punishment, which would become du• for the Sins of the People committed unto Him […] and become a Sacrifice to Divine Justice for them. Our SAVIOUR came according to His Engagement; and He underwent the Punishment of ou• Sins, in the Day when GOD laid on Him the Iniquities of us all: and after many Distresses. H• Dyed upon the Cross. All that you have now to do, is, To lie in the Dust before the Glorious GOD, Mourning for your Sins against Him, and Afraid o• what they Expose you to; and there to Plead […] Lord, Let me not be punished for my Sins; my SAVIOUR has been Punished for them. Lord, Let my Sins be Pardoned; my SAVIOUR has made Satisfaction for them. Lord, Let not thy Vengeance come upon me for the Debts which I owe unto […]; my SAVIOUR has paid t•em all. Thus are you to Plead, with […] Good Hope through' Grace, that GOD has allowed you• Plea, and has Forgiven you. Conclude; L••d, […] ⟨p. 42⟩•ill Pr•ise thee; for th•ugh th•u wast Angry with •e, thine A•ger is turned away, and thou dost Comfort me. Will you take this Course?
