valuable  Consideration  for  Chrift^s  Blood ;  thefe
might  have  been  obtained  at  a  cheaper  Rate  ;  it  is
no  lefs  than  the  adtual  Saving  of  thofe  Perfons,
every  one  of  them,  for  whom  Chrift  died,  that  caa
compenfate  fo  great  a  Price  as  the  Blood  of  Chrift,

Q.  Thu  will  fay  ^  Why  then  are  Men  Damned  ?

A,  I  anfwer,  for  not  believing  and  obeying  the
Gofpel:  Yet  as  their  Unbelief  cannot,  muft  not
make  the  Faith  of  God  of  no  EffeB  ;  fo  their  Punifh-
ment,  be  it  how  longfoever,  how  grievous  foever,
cannot  extinguifh  the  Right  and  Claim  ofChrifs  Blood
for  their  Deliverance^  be  it  after  Ages  and  Genera-
tions ever  fo  many,  Chrift's  Blood  lofeth  not  its
Virtue,  its  Value,  nor  can  be  fatisfied,  but  Cries
till  all  for  whom  it  was  fhed  be  delivered  :  And  it
was  llied  for  the  worft,  the  verieft  Backflider,  one
of  the  worft  fort  of  Sinners,  elfe  how  can  they  be
charged  with  counting  the  Blood  of  the  Covenant,
whereby  they  were  fanftified,  an  unholy  thing,  as
they  are^  Heb.  x,  29.
