preach_v excellent_o preach_v yet_o in_o fleshly_a wisdom_n nothing_o but_o fleshly_a excellency_n oh_o my_o brethren_n what_o be_v our_o sacrifice_n if_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o fleshly_a

the_o world_n within_o a_o few_o year_n all_o will_v be_v as_o grass_n and_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o but_o further_o 1._o they_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n why_o god_n command_v they_o to_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n here_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o accusation_n not_o that_o they_o sacrifice_v but_o that_o they_o sacrifice_v nothing_o but_o the_o outward_a part_n flesh_n do_v not_o think_v that_o that_o be_v the_o main_a meaning_n but_o this_o rather_o in_o the_o burn_a offering_n all_o the_o whole_a sacrifice_n be_v tender_v up_o to_o god_n but_o now_o there_o be_v another_o offering_n that_o be_v the_o peace_n offer_v and_o there_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v some_o part_n of_o it_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o offerer_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v eat_v part_n of_o the_o offering_n when_o they_o come_v to_o offer_v that_o they_o come_v with_o their_o friend_n because_o they_o be_v to_o have_v some_o of_o it_o exp._n now_o say_v god_n they_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n that_o be_v they_o change_v my_o ordinance_n when_o as_o that_o i_o look_v for_o burn_a offering_n from_o from_o they_o the_o whole_a offering_n they_o will_v rather_o offer_v peace_n offering_n wherein_o they_o shall_v have_v part_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o can_v take_v content_a in_o thus_o i_o find_v interpreter_n carry_v it_o and_o i_o very_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o from_o hence_o the_o note_n be_v 3._o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o god_n worship_n wherein_o any_o self_n respect_n may_v come_v in_o there_o we_o be_v content_a to_o be_v forward_o but_o yet_o in_o that_o we_o rather_o aim_v at_o serve_v ourselves_o then_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o this_o usual_o do_v eat_v out_o all_o true_a devotion_n when_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o be_v do_v and_o part_n of_o that_o duty_n god_n require_v and_o we_o show_v respect_n to_o god_n in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v another_o part_n wherein_o we_o enjoy_v ourselves_o now_o such_o kind_n of_o duty_n as_o these_o be_v man_n can_v be_v content_a well_o enough_o withal_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o part_n which_o concern_v themselves_o do_v eat_v out_o all_o the_o true_a devotion_n unto_o god_n although_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v pretend_v yet_o self-respect_n they_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v most_o upon_o fast_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o keep_v of_o festival_n they_o like_v they_o well_o enough_o and_o we_o do_v not_o read_v so_o much_o charge_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o because_o there_o be_v something_o agreeable_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o now_o for_o the_o day_n of_o their_o fast_n say_v god_n whosoever_o afflict_v not_o his_o soul_n that_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o mind_n to_o that_o in_o the_o ten_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n therefore_o god_n threaten_v that_o whosoever_o do_v not_o afflict_v his_o soul_n that_o day_n it_o shall_v be_v cut_v off_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n indeed_o why_o man_n be_v so_o much_o set_v upon_o their_o feastival_n they_o pretend_v god_n worship_n and_o honour_n to_o their_o bless_a saviour_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o belly_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n and_o their_o sport_n and_o the_o licence_n to_o the_o flesh_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o keep_v i_o warrant_v you_o let_v the_o time_n as_o now_o it_o fall_v out_o be_v the_o time_n of_o a_o fast_a it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o regard_v and_o for_o any_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o feastival_n when_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n call_v to_o fast_v certain_o that_o man_n regard_v his_o own_o belly_n rather_o than_o god_n and_o that_o by_o which_o all_o these_o feastival_n be_v uphold_v it_o be_v because_o that_o together_o with_o a_o seem_a kind_n of_o religion_n the_o belly_n get_v so_o much_o but_o now_o such_o duty_n where_o god_n be_v serve_v and_o nature_n deny_v they_o be_v great_a testimony_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o our_o heart_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o when_o we_o can_v offer_v up_o our_o burn_a offering_n whole_o to_o god_n and_o ourselves_o deny_v they_o be_v testimony_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o we_o simile_n as_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o instance_n in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o first_o of_o king_n the_o 13._o you_o read_v of_o the_o lion_n that_o do_v slay_v the_o prophet_n that_o go_v contrary_a to_o god_n commandment_n 13_o now_o it_o be_v a_o special_a end_n of_o god_n that_o send_v the_o lion_n to_o slay_v he_o and_o that_o god_n will_v give_v a_o testimony_n that_o the_o lion_n do_v not_o come_v of_o a_o chance_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o prophet_n and_o kill_v he_o therefore_o the_o text_n observe_v that_o the_o lion_n stand_v by_o the_o carcase_n and_o do_v not_o meddle_v with_o it_o after_o it_o be_v once_o slay_v it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o lion_n to_o have_v feed_v upon_o the_o carcase_n but_o here_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v mere_o from_o god_n what_o the_o lion_n do_v so_o when_o any_o man_n shall_v perform_v a_o duty_n mere_o for_o god_n and_o in_o that_o duty_n shall_v deny_v himself_o shall_v be_v

the_o public_a cause_n i_o but_o there_o be_v a_o public_a pay_n too_o as_o well_o as_o the_o public_a cause_n pay_n but_o now_o if_o a_o man_n can_v venture_v to_o the_o uttermost_a though_o he_o

expect_v yet_o he_o be_v content_a to_o venture_v himself_o as_o much_o as_o he_o do_v before_o god_n be_v in_o this_o man_n certain_o when_o he_o can_v do_v a_o work_n and_o deny_v himself_o that_o work_n and_o true_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a so_o to_o do_v why_o because_o god_n do_v not_o require_v of_o we_o self-denial_n that_o shall_v do_v we_o any_o hurt_n god_n will_v never_o have_v we_o deny_v ourselves_o in_o thing_n that_o immediate_o concern_v our_o communion_n with_o himself_o thing_n and_o our_o eternal_a good_a god_n expect_v self-denial_n but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o those_o
