by_o a_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o those_o sacrifice_n because_o they_o be_v but_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n which_o have_v no_o possibility_n to_o take_v away_o sin_n i._n it_o can_v effect_v that_o man_n shall_v afterward_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o so_o have_v no_o further_a conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o fear_v no_o punishment_n of_o they_o for_o what_o force_n can_v the_o blood_n of_o beast_n have_v to_o produce_v this_o effect_n but_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v this_o efficacy_n and_o force_n and_o all_o man_n may_v easy_o acknowledge_v it_o if_o they_o will_v of_o which_o point_n we_o have_v former_o treat_v in_o several_a place_n yet_o the_o author_n say_v not_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o those_o beast_n have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o in_o no_o measure_n and_o for_o no_o time_n to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o those_o sin_n for_o which_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v see_v this_o be_v evident_o false_a for_o if_o it_o expiate_v not_o sin_n at_o all_o in_o no_o measure_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o offer_v year_n by_o year_n why_o do_v the_o author_n himself_o affirm_v that_o the_o worshipper_n for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v be_v once_o purge_v by_o it_o certain_o then_o they_o do_v purge_v some_o sin_n for_o some_o time_n namely_o sin_n of_o error_n for_o a_o year_n therefore_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o author_n be_v as_o we_o have_v explicate_v it_o before_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n have_v not_o any_o force_n and_o impossible_a it_o be_v it_o shall_v have_v any_o to_o withdraw_v man_n from_o their_o sin_n and_o to_o effect_v that_o afterward_o they_o shall_v not_o sin_n and_o so_o to_o free_v they_o from_o fear_n and_o guilt_n of_o all_o future_a punishment_n 5._o wherefore_o when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n from_o the_o imperfection_n and_o infirmity_n which_o he_o have_v show_v to_o be_v in_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n the_o author_n gather_v or_o rather_o affirm_v that_o therefore_o god_n have_v reject_v they_o and_o in_o their_o room_n have_v elect_v the_o only_a offering_n of_o christ_n this_o he_o prove_v by_o a_o testimony_n take_v psal_n 40.6_o where_o david_n and_o under_o the_o person_n of_o david_n christ_n himself_o be_v bring_v in_o speak_v hereof_o but_o in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v a_o great_a question_n what_o shall_v be_v understand_v by_o this_o come_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o world_n yet_o the_o thing_n itself_o show_v that_o they_o be_v much_o mistake_v who_o interpret_v this_o come_n of_o the_o nativity_n or_o birth_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o we_o must_v understand_v these_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o christ_n then_o when_o he_o prepare_v and_o address_v himself_o for_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o perform_v his_o offering_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n loe_o i_o come_v say_v he_o to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n this_o come_n therefore_o of_o christ_n into_o the_o world_n must_v be_v so_o understand_v as_o to_o be_v join_v with_o the_o execution_n of_o god_n will_n but_o this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o christ_n nativity_n for_o christ_n present_o upon_o his_o birth_n do_v not_o perform_v this_o will_n of_o god_n which_o the_o author_n design_n see_v then_o he_o can_v not_o do_v any_o will_n of_o god_n at_o all_o for_o when_o he_o be_v new_o bear_v and_o yet_o a_o infant_n how_o can_v he_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n or_o can_v he_o then_o say_v these_o word_n for_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o author_n speak_v here_o of_o christ_n as_o man_n which_o we_o therefore_o intimate_v that_o no_o man_n may_v think_v here_o to_o fly_v to_o the_o distinction_n of_o his_o nature_n beside_o this_o phrase_n of_o come_v into_o the_o world_n do_v no_o where_n signify_v his_o nativity_n for_o they_o who_o for_o this_o sense_n of_o the_o phrase_n bring_v the_o place_n john_n 1.9_o do_v not_o observe_v that_o
