31. As it was a precept of antiquity, to leane more to vertue, then Parentage: so is it a tenet of Christianity, to repose more trust on the blood of Christ, then our owne merits.
Vertue, not blood was thought of anciently;Yet blood, more then our vertue ought to please us:
For we on blood, not vertue should rely;
Not on our vertue: but the blood of Jesus;
His blood being able to make heavenly Kings
Of men, plagu'd here for lacke of Earthly things.
