as
fome men
that
in
the time
of their
youth
have
liv'd
in
fome grolle
fins,
they leave them,
and
live better,aüd
fo
think
they are cleanfed, yet certainly the great
work
of
cleanfing
the
foul,
is
the Application of the
blood of Jefus
Christ unto
it to
wafh
the
foul
from
its former
uncleanneflè
;
the heart
is
never pure till then,
all
thy breaking
off,
and leav-
ing thy

living
better,
will
never
make
thy
heart pure before
