do_v god_n say_v here_o mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v quest_n do_v not_o god_n require_v sacrifice_n as_o well_o as_o mercy_n yea_o god_n do_v require_v sacrifice_n as_o well_o as_o mercy_n answ_n but_o we_o must_v understand_v this_o with_o these_o limitation_n 1._o i_o will_v have_v sacrifice_n but_o not_o without_o the_o spirit_n sacrifice_n without_o the_o spirit_n join_v with_o they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a when_o spiritual_a worship_n be_v join_v with_o their_o outward_a sacrifice_n than_o they_o be_v accept_v of_o institute_v worship_n separate_v from_o natural_a worship_n be_v regard_v 2._o not_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o their_o sin_n the_o people_n think_v by_o their_o sacrifice_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o their_o life_n though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o vile_a and_o base_a but_o say_v god_n i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o thus_o i_o will_v have_v it_o only_o typical_a in_o relation_n to_o christ_n but_o they_o leave_v out_o christ_n in_o they_o therefore_o say_v god_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v 3._o not_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v of_o your_o own_o they_o have_v many_o sacrifice_n of_o their_o own_o which_o god_n do_v neither_o require_v nor_o will_v he_o accept_v they_o from_o they_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o &c._n &c._n 4._o not_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v such_o as_o be_v injurious_o get_v the_o jew_n be_v a_o very_a oppress_a grind_a people_n they_o will_v be_v much_o in_o sacrifice_n but_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o right_n of_o the_o poor_a they_o will_v oppress_v and_o grind_v the_o poor_a and_o then_o think_v to_o make_v up_o all_o again_o by_o their_o sacrifice_n in_o this_o case_n i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o &c._n &c._n 5._o not_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v comparative_o mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_v this_o negative_a in_o scripture_n be_v often_o set_v out_o for_o half_a the_o thing_n itself_o as_o in_o prov._n 8.10_o receive_v instruction_n and_o not_o silver_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n rather_o than_o fine_a gold_n receive_v instruction_n not_o silver_n that_o be_v rather_o than_o silver_n god_n require_v of_o knowledge_n do_v not_o forbid_v man_n seek_v estate_n but_o it_o show_v we_o rather_o that_o knowledge_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v before_o it_o so_o paul_n be_v send_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o not_o to_o baptize_v that_o be_v rather_o than_o to_o baptize_v for_o paul_n do_v baptize_v in_o some_o place_n so_o say_v god_n here_o i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v that_o be_v let_v i_o have_v both_o but_o if_o both_o can_v be_v have_v let_v i_o have_v mercy_n of_o the_o two_o i_o do_v so_o much_o delight_n in_o it_o that_o if_o i_o can_v have_v mercy_n and_o sacrifice_n together_o let_v i_o not_o miss_v of_o mercy_n quest_n 3_o why_o shall_v god_n require_v mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_v answ_n 1_o because_o mercy_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o but_o sacrifice_n be_v good_a only_a in_o reference_n to_o something_o else_o the_o good_a of_o sacrifice_n be_v only_o in_o their_o reference_n to_o jesus_n christ_n answ_n 2_o mercy_n be_v good_a in_o itself_o but_o sacrifice_n be_v good_a because_o command_v by_o god_n prerogative_n god_n command_n put_v its_o goodness_n upon_o it_o answ_n 3_o mercy_n be_v part_n of_o god_n image_n in_o man_n but_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o and_o by_o how_o much_o more_o excellent_a god_n image_n be_v in_o man_n above_o any_o other_o excellency_n by_o so_o much_o be_v mercy_n more_o excellent_a than_o sacrifice_n answ_n 4_o all_o institute_v worship_n be_v make_v for_o man_n not_o man_n for_o it_o but_o for_o natural_a worship_n man_n be_v make_v for_o it_o and_o not_o it_o for_o man_n therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v more_o excellent_a christ_n reason_n thus_o warrant_v this_o reason_n say_v christ_n the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n not_o man_n for_o the_o sabbath_n now_o this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o natural_a worship_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o fear_v god_n love_v of_o god_n trust_v in_o god_n answ_n 5_o there_o be_v more_o self-denial_n in_o a_o duty_n of_o mercy_n than_o in_o any_o sacrifice_n to_o do_v good_a to_o the_o poor_a and_o that_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n argue_v more_o self-denial_n than_o to_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n sacrifice_n it_o put_v a_o great_a honour_n upon_o the_o creature_n to_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n because_o then_o man_n have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n in_o a_o immediate_a manner_n mercy_n be_v aeternae_fw-la veritatis_fw-la it_o be_v a_o eternal_a everlasting_a duty_n it_o answ_n 6_o be_v always_o and_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o the_o habit_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o to_o all_o eternity_n though_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o object_n to_o be_v delire_v out_o of_o misery_n yet_o this_o disposition_n of_o mercy_n remain_v in_o they_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o typical_a duty_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o pardon_n answ_n 7_o of_o sin_n but_o mercy_n be_v a_o moral_a duty_n now_o that_o which_o be_v a_o moral_a duty_n be_v better_a than_o that_o which_o be_v but_o to_o further_a we_o in_o the_o get_n of_o pardon_n for_o a_o moral_a offence_n commit_v against_o the_o great_a god_n because_o sacrifice_n be_v but_o to_o further_a we_o in_o natural_a duty_n answ_n 8_o to_o what_o end_n serve_v sacrament_n and_o why_o do_v i_o receive_v sacrament_n but_o to_o strengthen_v my_o faith_n increase_v my_o love_n and_o to_o further_a my_o appetite_n in_o hear_v god_n mind_n why_o do_v i_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o that_o it_o may_v turn_v i_o unto_o god_n now_o the_o end_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v better_a than_o the_o mean_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o that_o end_n therefore_o upon_o these_o ground_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o desire_v mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_v what_o be_v these_o case_n in_o which_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n quest_n 4_o the_o principal_a case_n be_v these_o ten_o case_n answ_n in_o 10._o case_n sometime_o in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o beast_n he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v if_o a_o beast_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v its_o life_n by_o any_o casualty_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n god_n do_v allow_v we_o to_o forbear_v all_o church_n ordinance_n at_o that_o time_n rather_o than_o let_v the_o beast_n perish_v but_o because_o this_o liberty_n by_o god_n be_v allow_v to_o man_n in_o this_o case_n yet_o you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o a_o beast_n be_v better_a than_o all_o god_n ordinance_n in_o case_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o poor_a and_o that_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o principal_a scope_n of_o the_o word_n of_o this_o text_n these_o people_n here_o they_o wrong_v oppress_a and_o tyrannize_v over_o the_o poor_a and_o then_o they_o think_v to_o make_v amends_o to_o god_n by_o their_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n man_n must_v not_o lay_v out_o so_o much_o of_o their_o estate_n either_o in_o superfluity_n or_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o god_n true_a worship_n as_o to_o hinder_v they_o in_o their_o benevolence_n and_o charity_n to_o the_o poor_a no_o ordinance_n of_o god_n shall_v hinder_v we_o in_o show_v mercy_n to_o the_o least_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n although_o those_o which_o be_v next_o we_o aught_o to_o be_v first_o relieve_v yet_o know_v it_o be_v a_o shame_n that_o other_o shall_v be_v neglect_v and_o forget_v yea_o it_o be_v a_o reproach_n to_o the_o way_n of_o god_n that_o profane_a man_n shall_v be_v more_o liberal_a to_o the_o poor_a that_o more_o hungry_a belly_n shall_v be_v

to_o excuse_v you_o before_o god_n when_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o poor_a shall_v come_v up_o before_o he_o that_o you_o have_v be_v at_o such_o and_o such_o charge_n for_o the_o ordinance_n and_o for_o
