The Benefits the Faithful Receive of the Death of Christ

From Nowell’s Catechism (1572):

Master: 
Now rehearse me briefly and in a sum these most large benefits which the faithful receive of the death of Christ, and his most grievous pain.  

Student: 
Briefly, with the one only sacrifice of his death he satisfied for our sins before God, and appeasing the wrath of God, made us at one with him. With his blood, as with "most" pure washing, he hath washed and cleansed away all the filth and spots of our souls; and defacing with everlasting fulness the memory of our sins, that they shall no more come in the sight of God, he hath cancelled, made void, and done away the hand - writing whereby we were bound and convicted, and also the decree by the sentence whereof we were condemned. All these things hath he done by his death, both for the living and for the dead that trusted in him while they lived.
