part_n of_o that_o natural_a religion_n which_o be_v obligatory_a by_o its_o intrinsic_a reasonableness_n concern_v all_o mankind_n independent_o on_o revelation_n so_o because_o god_n have_v set_v the_o levite_n apart_o for_o himself_o above_o all_o the_o other_o tribe_n of_o the_o israelite_n and_o have_v appoint_v ceremony_n of_o consecration_n of_o which_o they_o alone_o be_v capable_a therefore_o they_o alone_o be_v empower_v to_o intermeddle_v with_o the_o solemnity_n of_o divine_a worship_n because_o their_o consecration_n itself_o be_v understand_v as_o a_o solemn_a admission_n of_o they_o to_o the_o right_n of_o officiate_a in_o the_o solemnity_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o they_o who_o be_v not_o thus_o admit_v be_v repute_v as_o intruder_n and_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v be_v proportionable_o apply_v to_o those_o high_a office_n which_o be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o several_a order_n of_o the_o priesthood_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o different_a degree_n of_o consecration_n above_o the_o other_o ordinary_a levites_n for_o from_o the_o example_n of_o korah_n and_o vzzah_n it_o plain_o appear_v to_o have_v be_v as_o piacular_a and_o sacrilegious_a for_o ordinary_a levite_n to_o invade_v the_o office_n of_o a_o high_a consecration_n as_o for_o ordinary_a laic_n to_o have_v invade_v the_o levite_n office_n without_o any_o consecration_n at_o all_o and_o according_o we_o find_v that_o when_o korah_n murmur_v against_o the_o appropriate_a of_o the_o priesthood_n to_o aaron_n family_n his_o argument_n be_v that_o all_o the_o congregation_n be_v holy_a 3_o num._n xuj_o 3_o plain_o suppose_v that_o it_o must_v be_v their_o holiness_n above_o other_o i_o mean_v this_o relative_a holiness_n which_o be_v transact_v by_o these_o external_a solemnity_n of_o consecration_n that_o can_v give_v they_o this_o advantage_n above_o other_o in_o order_n to_o their_o have_v the_o priesthood_n appropriate_v to_o they_o and_o moses_n by_o way_n of_o reply_n plain_o grant_n this_o but_o withal_o tell_v they_o that_o god_n will_v show_v who_o be_v he_o and_o who_o be_v holy_a 5_o v._o 5_o that_o be_v in_o that_o degree_n of_o holiness_n which_o be_v then_o dispute_v of_o which_o be_v neither_o any_o internal_a holiness_n of_o their_o person_n nor_o all_o degree_n of_o relative_a holiness_n on_o account_n of_o solemn_a consecration_n for_o of_o some_o such_o degree_n it_o be_v notorious_o true_a that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n have_v be_v indeed_o consecrate_v to_o god_n by_o their_o circumcision_n and_o other_o external_a solemnity_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o that_o particular_a degree_n wherein_o the_o priest_n have_v plain_o the_o advantage_n of_o they_o in_o regard_n of_o those_o particular_a solemnity_n of_o consecrate_v they_o to_o their_o office_n which_o the_o ordinary_a levite_n and_o much_o less_o the_o ordinary_a people_n can_v not_o pretend_v to_o however_o we_o plain_o see_v that_o moses_n do_v not_o put_v the_o issue_n of_o this_o dispute_n to_o that_o express_a prohibition_n that_o the_o stranger_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v explain_v here_o numb_a xuj_o 40_o 10_o numb_a iii._o 10_o

they_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v more_o holy_a in_o regard_n of_o this_o relative_a holiness_n and_o the_o evidence_n god_n be_v to_o give_v of_o his_o own_o choice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o aaron_n above_o other_o §_o xix_o and_o do_v not_o this_o reason_n hold_v exact_o here_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o all_o true_a christian_n laic_n as_o well_o as_o other_o be_v a_o royal_a priesthood_n

other_o levite_n at_o least_o as_o well_o as_o those_o of_o the_o family_n of_o aaron_n that_o all_o the_o congregation_n be_v holy_a nay_o god_n himself_o have_v frequent_o own_v it_o in_o call_v

use_v to_o express_v themselves_o in_o this_o same_o matter_n and_o very_o probable_o use_v by_o the_o new-testament_n writer_n in_o allusion_n to_o they_o and_o yet_o as_o that_o do_v not_o excuse_v that_o attempt_n then_o do_v not_o conclude_v against_o a_o peculiar_a holiness_n in_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n and_o the_o family_n of_o aaron_n above_o other_o do_v not_o give_v even_o the_o levitical_a family_n of_o corah_n a_o liberty_n of_o meddle_v with_o the_o office_n of_o the_o priest_n nay_o make_v they_o obnoxious_a to_o a_o unexampled_a vengeance_n for_o such_o their_o presumption_n so_o neither_o can_v the_o like_a pretence_n excuse_v the_o like_a encroachment_n on_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n from_o a_o proportionable_a heinousness_n §_o xx_o for_o what_o be_v there_o that_o can_v make_v this_o crime_n so_o piacular_a then_o that_o will_v not_o proceed_v with_o proportionable_a evidence_n now_o be_v those_o priest_n separate_v from_o that_o holy_a people_n to_o a_o near_a relation_n to_o god_n and_o consequent_o to_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o this_o relative_n holiness_n and_o be_v not_o we_o so_o too_o be_v there_o discriminate_v solemnity_n appoint_v then_o by_o god_n himself_o for_o consecrate_v such_o as_o be_v admit_v to_o that_o honour_n and_o have_v not_o we_o the_o like_a solemnity_n be_v there_o authorize_v person_n continue_v in_o a_o succession_n who_o only_o can_v pretend_v to_o a_o ordinary_a call_n from_o god_n both_o to_o officiate_v themselves_o in_o these_o sacred_a solemnity_n and_o to_o admit_v other_o to_o a_o participation_n of_o the_o like_a divine_a authority_n and_o have_v not_o we_o so_o too_o and_o where_o all_o the_o token_n of_o a_o peculiar_a consecration_n of_o officer_n and_o a_o consequent_a exclusion_n of_o other_o from_o that_o function_n who_o have_v not_o be_v so_o authorize_v be_v so_o extreme_o parallel_v what_o be_v it_o that_o can_v make_v a_o invasion_n of_o it_o less_o piacular_a and_o sacrilegious_a now_o than_o then_o can_v these_o particular_a solemnity_n appoint_v for_o the_o admission_n of_o person_n to_o sacred_a office_n then_o be_v then_o understand_v

more_o punishable_a than_o than_o now_o §_o xxi_o if_o the_o law_n whereby_o this_o invasion_n be_v forbid_v have_v be_v positive_a and_o temporary_a i_o confess_v there_o may_v have_v be_v some_o pretence_n for_o this_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o general_a sense_n of_o religious_a mankind_n have_v think_v it_o condemnable_a by_o the_o general_a principle_n of_o natural_a religion_n and_o that_o what_o be_v so_o be_v so_o eternal_o unlawful_a as_o that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v otherwise_o under_o any_o whatsoever_o positive_a reveal_v religion_n and_o i_o know_v none_o of_o our_o brethren_n themselves_o that_o deny_v it_o they_o who_o have_v defend_v the_o practice_n of_o sacrilege_n have_v not_o do_v it_o on_o this_o pretence_n that_o the_o gospel_n admit_v any_o invasion_n of_o the_o divine_a property_n more_o than_o the_o law_n but_o that_o they_o conceive_v god_n dispensation_n under_o the_o gospel_n to_o leave_v all_o thing_n to_o their_o original_a liberty_n and_o to_o reserve_v no_o peculiar_a property_n to_o himself_o but_o this_o pretence_n have_v be_v already_o prevent_v in_o our_o case_n §_o xxii_o or_o do_v they_o think_v that_o god_n may_v not_o have_v as_o just_a a_o property_n in_o person_n as_o in_o thing_n or_o can_v they_o think_v a_o invasion_n of_o thing_n chargeable_a with_o sacrilege_n if_o the_o invasion_n of_o sacred_a office_n may_v be_v excusable_a from_o it_o this_o be_v not_o only_o contrary_a to_o the_o same_o rule_n of_o natural_a religion_n as_o agree_v in_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o civilise_v religious_a nation_n but_o against_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o government_n which_o allow_v the_o supreme_a prince_n as_o peculiar_a a_o property_n in_o the_o distribution_n of_o office_n as_o of_o his_o land_n or_o tribute_n or_o can_v they_o believe_v the_o invasion_n of_o sacred_a office_n less_o criminal_a than_o that_o of_o sacred_a possession_n but_o however_o we_o make_v the_o comparison_n it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v clear_o otherwise_o if_o we_o make_v that_o the_o great_a sacrilege_n which_o be_v a_o violation_n of_o the_o more_o intrinsic_a unalienable_a divine_a property_n the_o distribution_n of_o office_n be_v by_o the_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o government_n more_o unalienable_a from_o god_n
