1 John1:7

Verſe 7. We have fellowſhip one, &c.] That is, God and we: inaſmuch as we are made partakers of the divine nature, and are pure as God is pure, 1 Joh 3.3. in quality, though not in an equality.

And the bloud of Jeſus] That whereas Gods pure eye can ſoon finde many a foul flaw in the beſt of us (our righteouſneſſe being mixt, as light and darkneſſe, dimneſſe at leaſt in a painted glaſſe, died with ſome obſcure and dim colour, it is tranſparent and giveth good, but not clear and pure light) loe here a ready remedy, a ſweet ſupport, The bloud of Jeſus Christ his son cleanſeth us from all ſin.
