Section 7. HAuing spoken of the oblation of Thankesgiuing it foloweth I speak of the oblation of sin And where should I begin Ierome touchinge the whole saith thus Euery sacrifice â—…n the book of Leuiticus yea euery syllable and the garments of Aaron and the whole Leuiticall Order spirant caelestia sacrameÌ„ta do breath forth sacraments or mysteries That hee saith of the whole I may much more saye of this sorte of sacrifices which in Christ his mystical body be so deeply sealed as they squeaze out blud againe and pierce and presse out the verye life of nature Hitherto I haue not set the ceremony on the rack as hath been vsuall with too manye strayning the ceremonye to their wits and not their wits to the ceremony I would such vnproportionable and fantastique straines were not at this daye forced on plainer scriptures also but I waighed the ceremonye by the plain open waits of the sanctuary for causing the sence to fall out fully euidentlye to the conscionable Reader of the scriptures It remaineth stil that I keepe the kings hy-way not for satisfactioÌ„ of verball spirits nam haud vnquaÌ„ aliud seculuÌ„ tam verbosuÌ„ I shold abounde with manner beyond matter or take vp the time with by respectes of the animate creatures which out of nature might bee many to the weakning and obseuring of the mayn end and purpose of the Holy ghost And so to the mat ter All Sin-sacrifice as afore did properly require blood for without blood no purgation whereupon it is probable that Cain offring an oblation of the fruits of the earth termed in Leuit. 2. mincha did proudly intend a Thanksgiuing without humiliation for sinne when as Abel rather looked to his sin and came to the Lord in humilitie for the purgation thereof by the blud of a lamb This beeing indâ—…ede the humility of the Publican in the Gospell Lord bee mercifull vnto me a sinner when the other was indeed of an elate and puâ—…t vp mind with the Phari see who despising the other said I thanke thee ô God I am not as this man c. but hee went awaye therefore vniustified In the second of Leuit. there is a sacrifice tearmed Zebach Shelámim which worde Shelámim signifying pacifications perfections healâ—…hs it so commeth to passe that it is turned diuersly But let it bee as we haue it turned and the worde primordially signifieth a peace offring it inteÌ„deth an humiliation before GOD for obtayning of peace And indeede till wee bee sprinkeled in our hearts from an euill conscience by the blud of christ apprehended by faith it is impossible to haue peace with God In the 4. of Leuit. there is a sacrifice called Cháâ—…áah and in the fift chap. on called Asháâ—… the firsâ—… turned by some Latins Peccatum the other Delictum taking them with like differeÌ„ce as Augustine taketh the two Latine words when as hee saith Perchance Peccatum is the perpetration of euill but Delictum the desertion of Good But to vnderstand the Hebrewe wordes so I take it to bee more subtile then sure And the rather because the wordes Cháttáah and Ashám are confounded in Chap. 4. and both vsed for the same The sacrifice in the 4 chap. is diuided into 4. â—…eads either it is for the sin of the Priest or of the Congregation or of the Ruler or of the common people The Iewish hy-priest coulde sin though he caried the vrim and Thummim on his breast and what is the Romish Hy-priest whose brest is ordinarilye stuffed with all carnalitye that hee shold not much more sin stand in need of sacrifice Israels congregatioÌ„ or church could sin notwithstanding al the neer helpes they had from God and cannot the church now much more sinne I would it did not The Prince of the people then stood need of a sacrifice and do not our Princes and rulers stand in as much neede Yea their sacrifice was to be presented in an He-goat for that they are not only to be as He-goats before the flocke for comming out of Babel but also for that their sinnes stinke much more and be farre more infectious then the sins of the people though the one and the other proceeded first from ignorance For which respect among others the peoples sin afterwards is represented in a She-goat more weak in euill then the former As therefore good examples in rulers are drawers vnto God god therefore to be much praised so to the other the Prophet saith The Leaders of the people cause them to erre and they that are led by them arc deuoured The sin sacrifices hitherto spoken of intend sin committed first of
