4._o it_o be_v command_v that_o if_o the_o household_n be_v too_o little_a for_o the_o lamb_n that_o then_o he_o and_o his_o neighbour_n next_o unto_o the_o house_n shall_v take_v it_o according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o whole_a may_v be_v eat_v the_o like_a seem_v to_o have_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o circumcision_n except_v in_o this_o particular_a that_o they_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o circumcise_v at_o jerusalem_n only_o as_o they_o be_v to_o celebrate_v there_o the_o passover_n for_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v requisite_a to_o circumcision_n fourteen_o john_n the_o baptist_n too_o who_o be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o do_v the_o same_o for_o he_o baptize_v not_o only_o the_o pharisee_n and_o sadducee_n that_o come_v unto_o he_o who_o behaviour_n and_o manner_n he_o very_o well_o understand_v when_o he_o public_o call_v they_o a_o generation_n of_o viper_n but_o also_o the_o publican_n and_o all_o other_o that_o resort_v to_o he_o to_o be_v baptize_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o they_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o former_a evil_a life_n may_v set_v about_o the_o amend_v it_o and_o so_o may_v flee_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v it_o be_v scarce_o probable_a that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o john_n be_v shall_v admit_v of_o man_n of_o such_o profligate_v life_n man_n that_o impious_o audacious_o and_o public_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a have_v he_o not_o know_v that_o the_o law_n forbid_v not_o access_n to_o such_o for_o the_o judaical_a law_n as_o have_v be_v already_o show_v prohibit_v no_o circumcise_a person_n but_o the_o unclean_a and_o leprous_a xv._n beside_o this_o uncleanness_n be_v a_o legal_a ceremony_n not_o any_o impurity_n of_o life_n or_o pravity_n of_o manner_n for_o not_o he_o who_o have_v sin_v or_o commit_v any_o wickedness_n be_v thereby_o unclean_a but_o the_o unclean_a be_v those_o who_o touch_v any_o dead_a corpse_n any_o excrement_n any_o person_n that_o have_v a_o issue_n of_o blood_n or_o the_o like_a and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o cause_n that_o the_o pharisee_n will_v not_o go_v into_o the_o judgment-hall_n when_o they_o have_v deliver_v up_o christ_n to_o pilate_n to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v debar_v thereby_o from_o eat_v the_o passover_n but_o sure_o the_o moysaicall_a uncleanness_n do_v not_o so_o typify_v and_o represent_v our_o iniquity_n that_o as_o they_o who_o be_v thereby_o defile_v be_v shut_v out_o from_o the_o tabernale_a and_o the_o company_n of_o other_o so_o shall_v it_o signify_v that_o these_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v correct_v and_o punish_v by_o withhold_a the_o sacrament_n and_o by_o exclusion_n from_o the_o visible_a church_n as_o appear_v plain_o by_o what_o follow_v for_o 1._o even_o whilst_o legal_a uncleanness_n be_v in_o force_n and_o there_o be_v then_o wicked_a man_n in_o abundance_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o same_o punishment_n appoint_v for_o the_o wicked_a and_o for_o the_o unclean_a what_o probability_n be_v there_o then_o that_o these_o ceremony_n shall_v typify_v their_o punishment_n or_o in_o any_o sort_n signify_v that_o moral_a delinquency_n shall_v be_v thus_o check_v and_o redress_v when_o the_o ceremony_n themselves_o shall_v be_v take_v away_o and_o cancel_v 2._o moses_n have_v plain_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o himself_o have_v he_o in_o fact_n admit_v they_o to_o the_o temple_n and_o ritual_n who_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o by_o those_o ceremony_n signify_v that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v exclude_v for_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o no_o one_o be_v ever_o thrust_v out_o of_o the_o tabernacle_n or_o from_o the_o congregation_n for_o the_o pravity_n of_o his_o manner_n if_o as_o the_o law_n command_v he_o have_v neither_o touch_v any_o dead_a body_n nor_o otherwise_o in_o that_o nature_n defile_v himself_o at_o this_o rate_n therefore_o moses_n shall_v punish_v those_o that_o be_v but_o figurative_o unclean_a and_o let_v such_o as_o be_v unclean_a in_o reality_n go_v unregarded_a i_o mean_v as_o to_o this_o sort_n of_o punishment_n 3._o that_o legal_a impurity_n affect_v and_o taint_v the_o body_n alone_o whereas_o wickedness_n consist_v in_o the_o internal_a action_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o the_o cause_n and_o root_n of_o all_o evil_n be_v bear_v with_o we_o and_o fall_v not_o under_o man_n correction_n whilst_o it_o put_v not_o forth_o its_o fruit_n for_o otherwise_o must_v the_o whole_a world_n be_v excommunicate_a for_o we_o shall_v not_o get_v these_o spot_n out_o of_o our_o soul_n whilst_o we_o breathe_v mortal_a air_n but_o that_o other_o impurity_n which_o be_v but_o a_o bodily_a stain_n be_v punish_v by_o be_v debar_v commerce_n with_o other_o though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o fruit_n no_o far_a evil_n spring_v from_o that_o uncleanness_n nor_o he_o that_o be_v defile_v have_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o law_n but_o for_o the_o action_n and_o transgression_n of_o the_o unclean_a they_o be_v deal_v with_o at_o the_o rate_n of_o other_o transgression_n if_o the_o party_n under_o that_o defilement_n do_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o law_n and_o the_o cleanness_n or_o uncleanness_n of_o the_o sinner_n neither_o aggravate_v nor_o lessen_v the_o moral_a guilt_n 4._o our_o very_a adversary_n confess_v that_o not_o all_o sort_n and_o size_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v redress_v by_o excommunication_n whereas_o the_o law_n command_v that_o every_o uncleanness_n be_v punish_v by_o exclusion_n from_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o public_a sacrifice_n so_o that_o those_o can_v not_o typify_v all_o sort_n of_o iniquity_n 5._o no_o man_n that_o sin_n unwitting_o can_v be_v excommunicate_v but_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o man_n unwitting_o to_o contract_v uncleanness_n and_o not_o only_o without_o any_o blame_n of_o they_o but_o to_o their_o great_a grief_n and_o trouble_n what_o fault_n be_v there_o in_o he_o who_o sleep_v unvoluntary_o suffer_v nocturnal_a pollution_n and_o where_o the_o wife_n may_v unexpected_o fall_v into_o that_o condition_n which_o the_o law_n make_v a_o pollution_n to_o the_o husband_n if_o he_o approach_v she_o or_o by_o the_o decease_n of_o child_n wife_n or_o parent_n or_o the_o like_a which_o usual_o happen_v and_o now_o it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v only_o voluntary_a and_o spontaneous_a crime_n for_o which_o person_n may_v be_v as_o some_o man_n think_v debar_v access_n to_o the_o sacrament_n 6._o a_o far_o severe_a punishment_n be_v ordain_v for_o he_o that_o kill_v a_o man_n against_o and_o without_o any_o will_n or_o intention_n of_o so_o do_v than_o a_o naked_a seclusion_n from_o the_o sacrament_n for_o some_o few_o week_n or_o day_n if_o therefore_o a_o unpremeditated_a and_o involuntary_a offence_n and_o by_o consequence_n a_o sin_n of_o the_o lesser_a die_n undergo_v a_o more_o sharp_a and_o bitter_a chastisement_n than_o the_o foul_a legal_a impurity_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o punishment_n for_o they_o be_v not_o intend_v to_o represent_v the_o punishment_n for_o moral_a iniquity_n 7._o it_o often_o fall_v out_o that_o man_n of_o the_o great_a sanctity_n and_o integrity_n become_v unclean_a and_o be_v debar_v both_o from_o enter_v into_o the_o temple_n and_o from_o the_o use_n of_o sacrifice_n whilst_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n man_n most_o notorious_o wicked_a have_v admission_n to_o either_o without_o control_n whereas_o if_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n both_o aught_o to_o undergo_v the_o same_o punishment_n the_o latter_a shall_v rather_o be_v seclude_v than_o the_o former_a 8._o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o god_n do_v at_o no_o time_n or_o place_n absolute_o prohibit_v all_o legal_a impurity_n for_o some_o be_v to_o attend_v the_o die_a person_n some_o those_o that_o be_v infect_v with_o a_o unclean_a disease_n some_o must_v bury_v the_o dead_a and_o in_o fine_a some_o must_v purify_v the_o unclean_a by_o which_o mean_n they_o themselves_o become_v defile_v v_o numb_a 19_o so_o that_o god_n will_v not_o that_o all_o legal_a impurity_n shall_v be_v avoid_v but_o god_n prohibit_v sin_n of_o all_o kind_n and_o to_o all_o man_n and_o at_o all_o time_n and_o never_o indulge_v the_o perpetrate_a any_o wicked_a action_n at_o any_o time_n or_o place_n whatever_o 9_o god_n command_v that_o sin_n shall_v be_v restrain_v by_o fire_n sword_n halter_n stoning_n stripe_n mulct_n imprisonment_n and_o other_o penalty_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n but_o ordain_v that_o the_o legal_o unclean_a shall_v be_v purify_v by_o sprinkle_v and_o wash_v with_o water_n and_o the_o like_a numb_a 19_o v_o 17_o 18_o 19_o 10._o he_o that_o have_v contract_v uncleanness_n according_a to_o the_o definition_n of_o legal_a pollution_n and_o die_v in_o that_o state_n as_o for_o instance_n woman_n in_o their_o menstruousness_n or_o man_n
