there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o effusion_n of_o the_o beast_n blood_n because_o blood_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o beast_n life_n the_o separation_n of_o blood_n from_o the_o flesh_n show_v and_o

and_o needful_a for_o that_o these_o sacrifice_n be_v satisfaction_n for_o typical_a and_o carnal_a sin_n but_o the_o absolute_a satisfaction_n and_o expiation_n for_o sin_n must_v consist_v in_o the_o death_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o thing_n offer_v because_o the_o apostle_n peremptory_o and_o true_o tell_v we_o 6.33_o rom._n 6.33_o that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n from_o

apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n prove_v by_o legal_a figure_n that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v die_v and_o shed_v his_o blood_n in_o sacrifice_n because_o say_v he_o 9.22_o heb._n 9.22_o that_o according_a to_o the_o law_n all_o thing_n be_v purge_v and_o purify_v by_o blood_n and_o without_o the_o effusion_n of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n so_o jesus_n christ_n by_o shed_v his_o

as_o it_o be_v in_o pass_v you_o learn_v two_o thing_n i._o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o there_o be_v any_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n without_o blood_n and_o consequent_o impossible_a that_o the_o mass_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o death_n nor_o effusion_n of_o blood_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n as_o our_o adversary_n call_v it_o two_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v represent_v to_o we_o distinct_o and_o several_o for_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sign_n to_o wit_n the_o bread_n

great_a advantage_n and_o singular_a benefit_n and_o prerogative_n above_o the_o old_a one_o of_o the_o law_n see_v that_o herein_o god_n full_o discover_v the_o rich_a treasure_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o nature_n we_o see_v god_n goodness_n towards_o man_n for_o that_o for_o a_o time_n he_o entertain_v and_o maintain_v himself_o in_o life_n by_o the_o death_n of_o beast_n who_o flesh_n serve_v he_o for_o food_n and_o sustenance_n but_o here_o god_n give_v and_o purchase_v to_o man_n a_o eternal_a life_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o only_a son_n here_o he_o give_v to_o man_n not_o his_o creature_n as_o in_o the_o creation_n but_o his_o only_a well_o belove_a son_n himself_o yea_o and_o to_o sinful_a man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v to_o the_o
