in_o the_o new_a testament_n between_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o those_o levitical_a sacrifice_n c_o can_v any_o one_o i_o say_v imagine_v upon_o these_o consideration_n that_o the_o

this_o supposition_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n have_v no_o proper_a influence_n upon_o expiation_n the_o apostle_n b_o discourse_n proceed_v upon_o weak_a and_o

therefore_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v so_o now_o although_o in_o itself_o it_o have_v no_o proper_a efficacy_n for_o that_o end_n but_o the_o apostle_n word_n and_o way_n of_o

rule_n assign_v by_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n if_o we_o 22._o yield_v crellius_n what_o he_o so_o often_o urge_v viz._n that_o these_o

that_o the_o mean_n of_o expiation_n lay_v in_o the_o shed_n of_o blood_n which_o show_v that_o the_o very_a mactation_n of_o the_o beast_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v be_v design_v in_o order_n to_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n to_o a_o inquisitive_a person_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o slay_v such_o multitude_n of_o beast_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n appoint_v by_o god_n himself_o among_o the_o jew_n will_v have_v appear_v far_o less_o evident_a than_o now_o it_o do_v since_o the_o author_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n have_v give_v we_o so_o full_a a_o account_n of_o they_o for_o it_o have_v be_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o have_v think_v that_o they_o have_v be_v mere_o institute_v c_o out_o of_o compliance_n with_o the_o custom_n of_o other_o nation_n since_o the_o whole_a design_n of_o their_o religion_n be_v to_o separate_v they_o from_o they_o and_o on_o such_o a_o supposition_n the_o great_a design_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n signify_v very_o little_a which_o do_v far_o more_o explain_v to_o we_o the_o nature_n and_o tendency_n of_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n in_o use_n among_o they_o that_o have_v any_o respect_n to_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n than_o all_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o egyptian_n or_o the_o commentary_n of_o the_o latter_a jew_n but_o i_o intend_v not_o now_o to_o discourse_v at_o large_a upon_o this_o subject_n of_o sacrifice_n either_o as_o to_o the_o nature_n and_o institution_n of_o they_o in_o general_a or_o with_o a_o particular_a respect_n to_o the_o d_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n since_o a_o learned_a person_n of_o our_o

especial_o those_o on_o the_o day_n of_o atonement_n we_o may_v have_v enough_o from_o they_o to_o vindicate_v all_o that_o we_o assert_v concern_v the_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n for_o that_o those_o be_v design_v by_o way_n of_o substitution_n in_o the_o a_o place_n of_o the_o offender_n will_v appear_v from_o the_o circumstance_n and_o law_n reason_n of_o

the_o not_o understand_v of_o which_o give_v a_o great_a force_n to_o our_o adversary_n argument_n than_o otherwise_o they_o will_v have_v for_o while_o man_n assert_v that_o the_o expiation_n be_v whole_o typical_a and_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o that_o expiation_n which_o be_v real_o obtain_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n they_o easy_o prove_v that_o all_o the_o expiation_n then_o be_v only_o declarative_a and_o do_v no_o more_o depend_v on_o the_o sacrifice_n offer_v than_o b_o on_o a_o condition_n require_v by_o god_n the_o neglect_n of_o which_o will_v be_v a_o act_n of_o disobedience_n in_o they_o and_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o can_v represent_v say_v they_o no_o more_o than_o such_o a_o expiation_n to_o be_v by_o christ_n viz._n god_n declare_v that_o sin_n be_v expiate_v by_o he_o on_o the_o performance_n of_o such_o a_o condition_n require_v in_o order_n thereto_o as_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n be_v but_o we_o assert_v another_o kind_n of_o expiation_n of_o

which_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o those_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o who_o make_v the_o expiation_n whole_o typical_a for_o why_o then_o shall_v not_o the_o great_a sin_n much_o rather_o have_v
