much_o as_o idolater_n do_v wander_v fro_o whatsoever_o they_o do_v in_o their_o rite_n turn_v to_o their_o own_o destruction_n the_o other_o thing_n be_v that_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o oblation_n consist_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o come_v not_o of_o our_o own_o invention_n and_o fayninge_n sacrifice_n whither_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n may_v be_v both_o a_o sacrament_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n here_o arise_v a_o doubt_n because_o we_o have_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o sacrament_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o if_o the_o elder_n in_o their_o oblation_n and_o sacrifice_n have_v the_o self_n same_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v when_o we_o celebrate_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o no_o man_n doubt_v but_o to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n how_o shall_v that_o be_v true_a that_o we_o say_v before_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o sacrament_n see_v that_o of_o necessity_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o elder_n must_v also_o be_v sacrament_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v diverse_a and_o yet_o that_o let_v not_o but_o that_o one_o thing_n may_v be_v both_o a_o sacrament_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o no_o man_n doubt_v but_o that_o philosophy_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o body_n be_v diverse_a thing_n which_o nevertheless_o may_v be_v see_v both_o in_o one_o man_n so_o also_o it_o happen_v here_o that_o one_o thing_n may_v be_v both_o a_o sacrifice_n &_o a_o sacrament_n sacrifice_n the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v both_o a_o sacrament_n &_o a_o sacrifice_n although_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o sacrament_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n be_v diverse_a when_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v celebrate_v in_o that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v by_o faith_n &_o spirit_n give_v unto_o we_o to_o be_v receive_v and_o the_o promise_n of_o that_o conjunction_n which_o we_o have_v with_o christ_n be_v seal_v so_o that_o we_o be_v the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n in_o this_o respect_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n and_o also_o so_o call_v because_o in_o that_o action_n god_n geve_v his_o gift_n unto_o us._n but_o in_o that_o by_o the_o same_o action_n we_o do_v celebrate_v the_o memory_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o render_v thanks_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o gift_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v we_o consecrate_v &_o offer_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v sacrifice_n the_o kill_n of_o sacrifice_n be_v both_o sacrament_n and_o also_o sacrifice_n &_o may_v be_v call_v a_o just_a sacrifice_n whereby_o we_o geve_v most_o acceptable_a oblation_n unto_o god_n himself_o this_o self_n same_o thing_n may_v we_o see_v in_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v in_o the_o old_a time_n do_v before_o god_n for_o they_o be_v both_o sacrament_n where_o in_o christ_n be_v give_v to_o the_o man_n in_o the_o old_a time_n to_o be_v receive_v of_o they_o by_o faith_n &_o by_o which_o they_o communicate_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o eat_v &_o drink_v together_o all_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v pertain_v to_o the_o reason_n of_o a_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o be_v also_o sacrifice_n when_o as_o there_o they_o do_v both_o consecrate_v they_o &_o themselves_o unto_o god_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o history_n when_o as_o very_o many_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n namely_o for_o sin_n and_o for_o fault_n peaceoffering_n also_o and_o burntoffering_n it_o be_v uncertain_a which_o of_o these_o the_o israelite_n use_v at_o this_o present_a for_o the_o history_n declare_v it_o not_o but_o by_o as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v conjecture_v by_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v he_o shall_v not_o err_v in_o my_o judgement_n which_o shall_v affirm_v that_o they_o sacrifice_v for_o sin_n for_o to_o this_o end_n pertain_v both_o the_o sermon_n that_o be_v preach_v and_o also_o the_o weep_a of_o the_o people_n name_o to_o

tabernacle_n of_o god_n be_v not_o fix_v when_o as_o in_o deuter._n it_o be_v most_o manifest_o forbid_v by_o a_o law_n that_o the_o people_n shall_v not_o sacrifice_v in_o any_o other_o place_n not_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o sacrifice_v there_o where_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o god_n be_v not_o but_o as_o touch_v that_o law_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o efficacye_n till_o such_o time_n as_o the_o ark_n and_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o fix_a and_o firm_a place_n which_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v before_o solomon_n have_v build_v the_o most_o noble_a

give_v furthermore_o they_o which_o think_v that_o this_o man_n of_o god_n which_o preach_v this_o sermon_n be_v phineas_n do_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v marvel_v that_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v here_o at_o bochim_n as_o the_o history_n teach_v for_o it_o may_v easy_o be_v that_o the_o self_n same_o man_n which_o preach_v the_o sermon_n offer_v sacrifice_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n for_o sin_n for_o that_o he_o exercise_v the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n for_o he_o succeed_v eleazar_n his_o parent_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o by_o these_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v entreat_v of_o in_o this_o place_n assembly_n what_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o a_o holy_a assembly_n we_o may_v gather_v what_o thing_n ought_v chief_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o a_o holy_a assembly_n the_o word_n of_o god_n before_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v preach_v unto_o the_o people_n thereby_o to_o allure_v the_o hearer_n to_o repentance_n namely_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o sin_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v and_o to_o repent_v they_o thereof_o then_o must_v they_o proceed_v to_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n where_o the_o faithful_a may_v be_v make_v more_o assure_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v by_o christ_n forgeven_v they_o they_o may_v also_o geve_v thanks_n unto_o god_n and_o with_o many_o and_o sundry_a praise_n celebrate_v and_o call_v upon_o he_o 6_o and_o when_o josua_n have_v send_v the_o people_n away_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n go_v every_o man_n into_o his_o inheritance_n to_o possess_v the_o land_n 7_o and_o the_o people_n serve_v the_o lord_n all_o the_o day_n of_o josuah_n and_o all_o the_o day_n of_o the_o elder_n that_o outlive_v josua_n which_o have_v see_v all_o the_o great_a work_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o do_v for_o israel_n this_o narration_n be_v therefore_o put_v in_o to_o declare_v how_o long_o the_o israelite_n keep_v the_o sincere_a and_o true_a woorship_v of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o they_o be_v come_v into_o the_o land_n of_o chanaan_n they_o do_v their_o duty_n well_o as_o long_o as_o josua_n live_v &_o as_o long_o as_o the_o elder_n be_v remain_v which_o have_v see_v the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o the_o israelite_n sake_n and_o undoubtedlye_o it_o have_v be_v unapt_o if_o this_o history_n shall_v have_v declare_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v note_v the_o time_n wherein_o it_o happen_v apt_o therefore_o be_v the_o death_n of_o josua_n and_o the_o elder_n which_o live_v in_o his_o time_n repeat_v in_o this_o place_n and_o afterward_o be_v mention_v that_o a_o other_o age_n of_o man_n succeed_v which_o know_v not_o god_n neither_o have_v they_o see_v his_o work_n wherefore_o the_o israelite_n easy_o fall_v from_o the_o lawful_a worship_v of_o god_n we_o gather_v by_o this_o place_n that_o the_o repentance_n of_o the_o hebrews_n before_o declare_v which_o happen_v after_o the_o death_n of_o josua_n people_n the_o profit_n of_o the_o repentance_n before_o mention_v of_o the_o people_n when_o the_o public_a wealth_n be_v

the_o repentance_n now_o mention_v bring_v forth_o his_o fruit_n some_o peradventure_o will_v
that_o they_o commit_v this_o act_n now_o when_o they_o come_v to_o make_v this_o war_n or_o else_o before_o when_o every_o year_n they_o invade_v the_o land_n of_o the_o israelite_n in_o the_o time_n of_o harvest_n of_o mount_n thabor_n we_o have_v before_o speak_v when_o we_o entreat_v of_o the_o victory_n of_o barak_n and_o deborah_n live_v it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o save_v these_o king_n on_o live_v as_o the_o lord_n live_v if_o you_o have_v save_v their_o lyve_n gideon_n may_v have_v save_v these_o king_n lyve_n if_o they_o have_v not_o slay_v his_o brethren_n but_o because_o they_o have_v slay_v they_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n there_o be_v a_o law_n wherein_o it_o be_v ordain_v that_o the_o next_o of_o kin_n must_v not_o suffer_v the_o

that_o in_o the_o old_a time_n it_o be_v not_o uncomely_a to_o slay_v the_o guilty_a far_o hangeman_n the_o hebrews_n have_v no_o hangeman_n that_o it_o be_v not_o see_v that_o the_o hebrews_n have_v hangeman_n and_o undoubted_o that_o this_o be_v no_o office_n among_o the_o hebrews_n this_o testify_v because_o in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v write_v that_o a_o blasphemer_n be_v take_v be_v so_o stone_v to_o death_n that_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wytness_n do_v throw_v the_o first_o stone_n against_o he_o neither_o be_v the_o put_n to_o death_n of_o any_o body_n commit_v to_o any_o peculiar_a hangman_n and_o there_o be_v many_o example_n which_o testify_v that_o it_o be_v not_o ignominious_a to_o slay_v the_o guilty_a saul_n when_o he_o will_v have_v the_o priest_n slay_v call_v not_o hangeman_n to_o do_v it_o but_o turn_v to_o the_o noble_a man_n which_o be_v with_o he_o and_o command_v they_o to_o invade_v the_o priest_n who_o reverense_v their_o ministry_n and_o dignity_n dare_v not_o obey_v only_o doeg_n the_o edomite_n dare_v execute_v so_o great_a a_o wicked_a act_n who_o be_v not_o of_o least_o estimation_n with_o the_o king_n samuel_n also_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n
