it_o be_v a_o fearful_a sin_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n look_v in_o deut._n 9.20_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v what_o moses_n say_v concern_v it_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o aaron_n for_o this_o

he_o he_o have_v destroy_v he_o now_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o come_v like_o fire_n to_o flame_v out_o against_o his_o servant_n but_o upon_o mighty_a provocation_n sure_o god_n

shall_v not_o have_v condescend_v out_o of_o weakness_n to_o this_o request_n of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a but_o it_o please_v god_n to_o leave_v aaron_n to_o himself_o he_o will_v suffer_v he_o to_o

to_o order_v that_o evil_a to_o some_o superior_a event_n that_o be_v good_a sure_o there_o be_v some_o special_a end_n why_o god_n suffer_v aaron_n to_o fall_v into_o such_o a_o fearful_a sin_n as_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o conceive_v the_o first_o be_v this_o to_o show_v that_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v imperfect_a how_o can_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n perfect_o reconcile_v a_o poor_a sinner_n to_o god_n since_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n himself_o look_v in_o heb._n 7._o and_o you_o shall_v see_v there_o the_o apostle_n show_v the_o difference_n between_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o highpriest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n verse_n 27._o the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n stand_v in_o need_n to_o offer_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n first_o and_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v not_o only_o to_o offer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n but_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n yea_o first_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n now_o how_o shall_v one_o sinner_n reconcile_v another_o sinner_n to_o god_n it_o can_v be_v therefore_o say_v our_o apostle_n there_o verse_n 26._o it_o become_v our_o highpriest_n to_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o highpriest_n to_o be_v holy_a and_o harmless_a separate_v from_o sinner_n and_o make_v high_a than_o the_o heaven_n that_o be_v one_o reason_n to_o show_v that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o old_a law_n can_v not_o perfect_o reconcile_v man_n to_o god_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n permit_v he_o to_o fall_v be_v that_o in_o so_o great_a dignity_n as_o aaron_n be_v now_o assign_v to_o in_o so_o great_a a_o
