first_o word_n of_o the_o text_n for_o some_o read_v they_o negative_o as_o our_o translation_n do_v for_o then_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v cease_v some_o read_v they_o interrogative_o for_o then_o

those_o who_o offer_v they_o and_o if_o once_o they_o can_v do_v that_o full_o and_o perfect_o reason_n itself_o will_v dictate_v they_o may_v cease_v but_o to_o proceed_v unto_o the_o reason_n why_o

which_o necessary_o and_o unavoidable_o follow_v upon_o sin_n once_o commit_v by_o conscience_n of_o this_o sin_n be_v understand_v 1._o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o gild_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v of_o a_o delinquent_n that_o he_o be_v conscious_a to_o himself_o that_o he_o have_v offend_v 2._o some_o effect_n consequent_a which_o either_o be_v apt_a to_o follow_v or_o do_v follow_v thereupon_o as_o sorrow_n fear_v accusation_n therefore_o tremelius_fw-la turn_v it_o sin_n wound_v the_o conscience_n though_o it_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n as_o our_o sin_n as_o render_v we_o guilty_a

the_o soul_n thus_o conscious_a and_o know_v be_v to_o accuse_v threaten_v and_o condemn_v itself_o and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o guilty_a soul_n be_v such_o a_o tormentor_n of_o

this_o benefit_n be_v worshipper_n for_o these_o be_v not_o only_o guilty_a but_o know_v it_o and_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o therefore_o come_v to_o god_n and_o use_v some_o mean_n to_o

and_o yet_o senseless_a and_o so_o no_o worshipper_n continue_v guilty_a still_o yet_o these_o worshipper_n as_o purge_v only_o be_v free_a from_o gild_n and_o this_o purge_n be_v twofold_a 1._o by_o

gild_n be_v not_o actual_o take_v away_o thus_o far_o these_o word_n have_v be_v explain_v as_o consider_v absolute_o in_o themselves_o yet_o we_o must_v further_o examine_v they_o as_o refer_v to_o the_o antecedent_n part_n of_o the_o text_n and_o contain_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n shall_v have_v cease_v if_o they_o have_v perfect_v the_o worshipper_n and_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o i_o must_v resume_v the_o former_a distinction_n of_o purge_v as_o it_o be_v a_o immediate_a effect_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n or_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n upon_o god_n sentence_n of_o absolution_n the_o former_a purge_n be_v here_o principal_o mean_v yet_o so_o as_o not_o to_o exclude_v the_o latter_a yet_o this_o purge_n by_o sacrifice_n offer_v may_v be_v a_o expiation_n of_o some-sin_n for_o a_o time_n as_o make_v liable_a to_o some_o certain_a punishment_n or_o as_o a_o expiation_n of_o all_o sin_n expiable_a and_o make_v the_o sinner_n liable_a to_o all_o punishment_n not_o only_o temporal_a but_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a now_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o such_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n that_o can_v have_v make_v god_n propitious_a for_o ever_o and_o all_o sin_n remissible_a for_o ever_o and_o so_o have_v make_v not_o only_o temporal_a but_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a penalty_n eternal_o removable_a then_o if_o that_o have_v be_v once_o offer_v and_o accept_v there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o offer_v that_o sacrifice_n again_o or_o any_o other_o for_o this_o will_v have_v purge_v the_o worshipper_n so_o as_o to_o free_v he_o from_o the_o gild_n and_o conscience_n of_o sin_n without_o any_o other_o or_o without_o any_o re-iteration_n of_o it_o at_o all_o but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o sacrifice_n therefore_o the_o worshipper_n upon_o new_a sin_n have_v recourse_n to_o a_o new_a and_o to_o another_o sacrifice_n and_o these_o sacrifice_n do_v not_o cease_v but_o continue_v and_o hence_o the_o author_n prove_v their_o imperfection_n under_o the_o gospel_n we_o commit_v new_a sin_n contract_v new_a gild_n and_o have_v conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o do_v often_o reiterate_v the_o offer_n of_o a_o break_a spirit_n renew_v our_o repentance_n and_o our_o faith_n yet_o we_o plead_v no_o new_a sacrifice_n expiatory_a but_o rely_v only_o upon_o one_o sacrifice_n once_o offer_v till_o such_o time_n as_o by_o virtue_n of_o it_o we_o be_v so_o purge_v as_o never_o to_o be_v guilty_a again_o or_o have_v conscience_n of_o sin_n any_o more_o and_o when_o upon_o our_o final_a repentance_n and_o faith_n in_o this_o sacrifice_n we_o receive_v a_o full_a and_o final_a absolution_n then_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n we_o have_v no_o conscience_n of_o sin_n for_o ever_o §_o 4._o the_o

those_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o sin_n every_o year_n than_o they_o do_v not_o purge_v and_o perfect_v the_o worshipper_n but_o in_o they_o there_o be_v a_o remembrance_n again_o of_o sin_n every_o year_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o perfect_a and_o purge_v the_o worshipper_n in_o the_o text_n we_o have_v 1._o a_o yearly_a offering_n of_o sacrifice_n 2._o in_o these_o

this_o be_v the_o general_a and_o public_a sacrifice_n offer_v for_o the_o universality_n and_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o people_n and_o therefore_o be_fw-mi the_o principal_n this_o do_v prove_v that_o they_o cease_v not_o because_o they_o take_v not_o away_o the_o g●ilt_n and_o conscience_n of_o sin_n therefore_o some_o think_v these_o word_n to_o be_v a_o
