regenerate and renew As to pardon so to purifie As to deliver from the Guilt so from the Filth of Sin Thus Tit. 3.5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of Regeneration and renewing of the holy Spirit But both these justifying and Sanctifying you have connected and connexed 1 Cor. 6.11 And such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God Now thus if I mistake not you are to understand it in the Text who washed us that is who justified us from the Guilt and sanctified us from the Filth of our Sins in his own Blood And washed us from our Sins in his own Blood What this Sin is that is washed from in Christs own Blood Sin in the Nature and Motion of it is a Transgression of the Law Sin supposeth a Law in being Rom. 4.15 For where there is no Law there is no Transgression But where there is Sin there is a Law and a Transgression of that Law 1 Jo. 3.4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth the Law for sin is a Transgression of the Law Yea Sin is not only the Transgression of a Law but of a good Law Rom. 7.12 For the Law is holy and the Commandement holy and just and good Yea the Transgression not only of a good Law but of Gods Law Psa 89.30 31. If his Children forsake my Law and walk not in my Commandements If they break my Statutes and keep not my Commandements Now the Law not only forbids the doing of evil whether in thought word or deed but also commands the doing of Good so that to omit the Good commanded as well as to commit the Sin forbidden is Sin whatever therefore doth transgress the Law of God in whole or in part is Sin whether it break an Affirmative or a Negative precept that is whether it be the Omission of Good or the Commission of Evil. From this all this Christs blood washeth And washed us from our Sins in his own Blood Whether Christ washeth from Sin in his own Blood As it is true none in Heaven nor on Earth nor under the Earth could open the Book and unloose the seven Seals thereof it is as true none in Heaven nor on Earth nor under the Earth can justify a guilty Soul and sanctifie a filthy Soul but Christ unto this my text speaks Who loved us and washed us from our Sins in his own Blood Eze. 16.9 Then washed I thee with water yea I throughly washed away thy Blood from thee thy Bloods from thee according to the Margent Then when when I passed by thee Eze. 16 6. When I passed by thee and saw thee polluted or troden under foot in thine own Blood I said unto thee Live Yea when thou wast in thy blood I said unto thee Live But what I is this This Jehovah God Thus saith Jehovah Eze. 16.3 God unto Jerusalem c. Now this Je●ovah is God or Christ for the Son hath the same name with the Father Jer. 23.6 This is the name whereby he shall be called Jehovah our Righteousness 'T is Christ that washeth Eze. 36.25 26 27. I will sprinkle clean water upon you and ye shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your Idols will I cleanse you A new heart will I give you and a new Spirit will I put within you and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you an heart of flesh And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my Statutes and ye shall keep my Judgements and do them But in short If to wash be to justifie then Souls are washed in Christs own Blood Rom. 3.24 Being justified freely by his grace but how through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus And if to wash be to sanctifie then Souls are washed in Christs own Blood H●b 13.12 Christ that he might sanctifie the People with his own blood suffered without the Gate How Christ washeth from Sin in his own Blood Christ washeth three wayes by his Word by his Spirit and by his Blood By his Word Christ hath appointed and approved his word as a means leading unto this end Jo. 17.17 Sanctifie them through thy Truth thy word is Truth As to wash is to justifie so to sanctifie Now though the word can do nothing without Christ no more then the Instrument can without the hand yet this Instrument together with the hand can justifie a condemned Creature and sanctifie a cont●minated Creature By his Spirit The word that 's as the wax the Spirit that 's as the Seal upon that wax The Spirit indeed is the principal verb in the Sentence Sanctification properly is the work of the Spirit For as it is the proper work of the F●ther to elect and of the Son to redeem so of the Spirit to sanctifie those Elected and Redeemed 'T is therefore called the Sanctification of the Spirit Ye are chosen unto Salvation 2 Thess 2.13 through Sanctification of the Spirit By his Blood As Christ washeth through his Word and through his Spirit so through his Blood But how may Christ be said Question to wash from Sin in his own Blood There is a virtual Solut. and an actual washing in Christs blood That is there is a Satis●action given to God for Man and a sanctification wrought in Man Virtual There is a satisfaction given to God Beloved There is the Active and Passive Obedience of Christ concerning his Active himself speaks I have finished the work Jo. 17.4 which thou gavest me to do Concerning his Passive himself also speaks It is finished Jo. 19.30 Here was the Cross and Crucifixtion of Christ as the Complement of All. These two his Active and Passive Obedience were jointly and equally concerned in giving Satisfaction to infinite Justice Now concerning these two his Action and Passion if I mistake not God saith Mat. 3.17 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Or according to the Greek in whom I acquiesce God did acquiesce in him as Son as Mediator of the promise as one that did and dyed and so satisfied Christ himself did not only arrive at a Satisfaction by his Action and Passion but if I may speak it without Levity and with a holy Reverence arrived God at a Satisfaction by his Doing and Dying and that for All for whom he gave himself and unto whom he hath given and shall give himself Both which I think are legible in that o● the Prophet Isa 53.11 He shall see of th● Travel of his Soul and be ●atisfied by his knowledge shall m● righteous Servant justifie many for he shall bear their Iniquities Actual There is a Sanctification wrought in Man A there is a Satisfaction give
