which_o god_n first_o appoint_v the_o sun_n keep_v his_o just_a hour_n of_o rise_v the_o moon_n observe_v her_o certain_a revolution_n so_o all_o the_o dumb_a creature_n and_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o

creature_n come_v we_o then_o to_o their_o sacrifice_n which_o true_o be_v as_o natural_a as_o be_v their_o law_n for_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o pledge_n of_o our_o thankfulness_n which_o thankfulness_n be_v a_o branch_n of_o common_a justice_n this_o justice_n be_v natural_o ingraft_v in_o all_o creature_n that_o receive_v ourselves_o from_o god_n we_o shall_v offer_v up_o ourselves_o unto_o god_n

indeed_o but_o nature_n sacrifice_n shall_v we_o yet_o come_v near_o and_o show_v how_o they_o partake_v in_o a_o true_a sacrifice_n what_o be_v the_o stone_n in_o the_o temple_n but_o indeed_o offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n sacrifice_n for_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o all_o shall_v consecrate_v who_o attend_v at_o the_o altar_n all_o can_v be_v principal_n if_o the_o material_a

we_o then_o to_o the_o strict_a sense_n what_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n sacrifice_n but_o indeed_o the_o offer_v up_o of_o dumb_a creature_n then_o sure_o these_o dumb_a creature_n be_v no_o small_a part_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n they_o can_v be_v exclude_v but_o these_o be_v only_a type_n and_o shadow_n of_o a_o true_a sacrifice_n come_v we_o then_o to_o that_o one_o and_o only_o true_a sacrifice_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n as_o we_o partake_v in_o his_o sacrifice_n in_o regard_n of_o our_o nature_n the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n so_o all_o the_o creature_n can_v be_v
