and_o in_o the_o same_o place_n he_o deny_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n command_v of_o god_o can_v long_o prevail_v because_o that_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n christ_n jesus_n be_v already_o offer_v of_o

10.17_o there_o be_v no_o more_o offer_v for_o sin_n of_o one_o or_o other_o but_o in_o place_n thereof_o there_o be_v say_v he_o set_v up_o to_o and_o for_o we_o a_o enter_v into_o life_n by_o a_o

your_o mask_a mass_n can_v no_o long_o shadow_n the_o truth_n further_o i_o pray_v you_o whether_o do_v god_n at_o any_o time_n accept_v the_o man_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n or_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o man_n i_o trow_v the_o text_n say_v that_o god_n regard_v not_o 4.4_o cain_n or_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o contrary_o he_o accept_v habell_n and_o his_o oblation_n which_o stir_v up_o

sacrifice_n be_v abominable_a as_o in_o the_o prophet_n 1.10.11.12.13.14.15_o isaiah_n the_o lord_n reprove_v the_o jew_n for_o their_o painful_a serve_v in_o will_n worship_n and_o say_v he_o abhor_v their_o device_n and_o will_v not_o turn_v towards_o they_o with_o favour_n though_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v costly_a because_o they_o be_v sinful_a that_o offer_v they_o and_o the_o people_n for_o

thereof_o he_o say_v 1.16_o who_o require_v this_o at_o your_o hand_n and_o there_o teach_v they_o to_o amend_v from_o their_o wicked_a way_n to_o wash_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n &_o so_o will_v he_o accept_v they_o and_o their_o oblation_n christ_n himself_o also_o do_v nothing_o more_o pacify_v the_o father_n wrath_n in_o his_o most_o holy_a sacrifice_n then_o in_o respect_n that_o according_a to_o the_o father_n will_n he_o have_v yield_v himself_o for_o a_o oblation_n as_o he_o be_v of_o he_o appoint_v by_o his_o write_a word_n say_v a_o 10.5_o body_n have_v thou_o ordain_v

for_o their_o accept_a person_n in_o sacrifyse_v for_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a and_o for_o such_o their_o feign_a propitiatory_a sacrifice_n and_o we_o will_v not_o shame_v for_o loss_n of_o
