Moreover. Was part of the Blood, of the Sin Offering for the Congregation, to be put upon the Horns, of the Golden Altar of Incense? Truly, The Intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ, is founded in His Blood: Our Lord Jesus Christ Above, with the Incense of His Intercession concerned for us, ha's carried the mention and the merit of His Blood thither with Him. We are told, By His own Blood. He Entered in once into the Holy place, having obtained Eternal Redemption The Salvations, which our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Place is demanding for us, He demands upon this Consideration, Oh! my God, and my Father; my Blood ha's bought all that I challenge!

Once more. Was the rest of the Blood of Sin Offering for the Congregation, to be Parish forth at the Bottom of the Altar of Burnt-Offering? Truly The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, ha's been Poured forth: Tis said, He hath poured out His Soul unto Death. When Circumcised, when Buffeted in His Agony when Scourged with Thongs, when Crowned with Thom. when Fastened with Iron unto a Tree, (for our Lord, becoming the Servant of God, must have ⟨p. 42⟩his Ear-Bored, and a Body fastened with Iron, unto a post of Wood!) When Pierced with a Spear, in all these, His precious Blood was poured forth. But the Efficacy of this Blood, that which renders if so Precious, is, Its Nearness to the Altar. Our Lords Deity, is that Altar, from which the virtue of His Blood arises: Were not the Blood our Lord Jesus Christ, at the Bottom of that Altar, it would have no virtue, and small value in it.
