then_o burn_v with_o fire_n some_o have_v distinguish_v these_o two_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o end_n and_o use_n thus_o that_o the_o slay_a sacrifice_n respect_v chief_o the_o suffering_n and_o passive_a obedience_n of_o christ_n as_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o death_n and_o blood_n and_o that_o the_o meat-offering_a relate_v chief_o to_o his_o active_a obedience_n whereby_o he_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a and_o bless_a life_n good_a work_n be_v as_o it_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n to_o a_o holy_a heart_n in_o the_o meat-offering_a therefore_o say_v they_o be_v shadow_v by_o the_o burn_a and_o ascend_v of_o inanimate_a thing_n the_o obedience_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v
