sometime_o be_v afraid_a to_o go_v into_o god_n presence_n or_o they_o doubt_v their_o access_n they_o be_v so_o unworthy_a to_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n why_o this_o word_n priesthood_n satisfy_v

at_o his_o mouth_n a_o godly_a christian_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o direct_v other_o and_o hold_v forth_o the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n for_o the_o profit_n of_o other_o and_o as_o dumb_a minister_n

say_v i_o have_v handle_v at_o large_a verse_n 5._o only_a for_o the_o present_n remember_v these_o few_o thing_n 1._o that_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v worth_a nothing_o without_o a_o altar_n to_o

second_o any_o notable_a wickedness_n three_o evil_a opinion_n four_a worldly_a grief_n and_o passion_n which_o like_o leaven_n sour_v the_o sacrifice_n thus_o of_o the_o second_o principal_a use_n use_v 3_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o reproofe-of_a diverse_a sort_n of_o man_n as_o first_o of_o the_o papist_n they_o have_v fire_n but_o no_o altar_n and_o therefore_o can_v sacrifice_v they_o have_v zeal_n but_o not_o knowledge_n as_o be_v say_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o lewes_z who_o know_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ._n second_o of_o the_o carnal_a protestant_n they_o have_v a_o altar_n in_o that_o they_o profess_v justification_n by_o christ_n but_o either_o they_o have_v no_o sacrifice_n or_o no_o fire_n the_o rich_a among_o they_o bring_v not_o their_o sacrifice_n of_o alm_n and_o all_o sort_n neglect_v prayer_n and_o good_a work_n or_o if_o they_o do_v any_o service_n to_o god_n there_o be_v no_o fire_n to_o burn_v the_o sacrifice_n they_o serve_v god_n without_o zeal_n and_o holy_a affection_n three_o hypocrite_n be_v here_o rebuke_v they_o bring_v for_o matter_n the_o right_a sacrifice_n sometime_o and_o they_o have_v fire_n too_o but_o it_o be_v strange_a fire_n many_o time_n they_o have_v zeal_n but_o it_o be_v rash_a and_o unwarrant_v they_o do_v good_a duty_n in_o a_o ill_a manner_n or_o spend_v their_o zeal_n on_o tradition_n either_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n or_o on_o the_o right_n four_o fearful_a christian_n be_v here_o reprove_v because_o when_o they_o have_v sacrifice_n and_o a_o altar_n and_o fire_n too_o yet_o they_o believe_v not_o the_o atonement_n may_v come_v by_o it_o or_o the_o acceptation_n of_o they_o from_o god_n thus_o of_o the_o four_o point_n a_o holy_a nation_n the_o holiness_n of_o a_o
