be_v no_o question_n aaron_n can_v be_v excuse_v in_o this_o sin_n you_o may_v true_o say_v thus_o far_o for_o aaron_n that_o that_o he_o do_v he_o do_v it_o out_o of_o fear_n and_o out_o of_o

fearful_a sin_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n look_v in_o deut._n 9_o 20._o and_o you_o shall_v find_v what_o moses_n say_v concern_v it_o that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o aaron_n for_o this_o sin_n nay_o he_o be_v very_o angry_a with_o he_o for_o this_o sin_n yea_o so_o angry_a and_o very_o angry_a that_o he_o will_v have_v destroy_v he_o have_v not_o moses_n make_v intercession_n for_o he_o he_o have_v destroy_v he_o now_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o come_v like_o fire_n to_o flame_v out_o against_o his_o servant_n but_o upon_o mighty_a provocation_n sure_o god_n be_v provoke_v mighty_o against_o aaron_n that_o he_o will_v have_v destroy_v he_o have_v not_o moses_n make_v intercession_n there_o be_v no_o excuse_n of_o it_o but_o then_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o some_o use_n let_v i_o not_o pass_v from_o it_o thus_o why_o do_v not_o god_n so_o establish_v this_o servant_n of_o he_o that_o he_o may_v not_o fall_v into_o such_o a_o sin_n as_o this_o the_o apostle_n say_v god_n be_v faithful_a and_o he_o be_v able_a to_o establish_v you_o and_o to_o deliver_v you_o from_o all_o evil_a 2_o thess_n 3._o 3_o the_o apostle_n assure_v himself_o god_n will_v deliver_v i_o from_o every_o evil_a work_n and_o will_v preserve_v i_o to_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n and_o many_o such_o like_a place_n god_n be_v able_a to_o establish_v aaron_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v condescend_v out_o of_o weakness_n to_o this_o request_n of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a but_o it_o please_v god_n to_o leave_v aaron_n to_o himself_o he_o will_v suffer_v he_o to_o fall_v and_o you_o may_v think_v that_o god_n have_v some_o good_a end_n in_o it_o god_n be_v a_o good_a god_n will_v not_o suffer_v evil_a to_o be_v in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o he_o know_v how_o to_o order_v that_o evil_a to_o some_o superior_a event_n that_o be_v good_a sure_o there_o be_v some_o special_a end_n why_o god_n suffer_v aaron_n to_o fall_v into_o such_o a_o fearful_a sin_n as_o this_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o i_o conceive_v the_o first_o be_v this_o to_o show_v that_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v imperfect_a how_o can_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n perfect_o reconcile_v a_o poor_a sinner_n to_o god_n since_o he_o be_v a_o sinner_n himself_o look_v in_o heb._n 7._o and_o you_o shall_v see_v there_o the_o apostle_n show_v the_o difference_n between_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o highpriest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n verse_n 27._o the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n stand_v in_o need_n to_o offer_v for_o his_o own_o sin_n first_o and_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v not_o only_o to_o offer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n but_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n yea_o first_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n now_o how_o shall_v one_o sinner_n reconcile_v another_o sinner_n to_o god_n it_o can_v be_v therefore_o say_v our_o apostle_n there_o verse_n 26._o it_o become_v our_o highpriest_n to_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o highpriest_n to_o be_v holy_a and_o harmless_a separate_v from_o sinner_n and_o make_v high_a than_o the_o heaven_n that_o be_v one_o reason_n to_o show_v that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o old_a law_n can_v not_o perfect_o reconcile_v man_n to_o god_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n permit_v he_o to_o fall_v be_v that_o in_o so_o great_a dignity_n as_o aaron_n be_v now_o assign_v to_o in_o so_o great_a a_o place_n as_o the_o highpriesthood_n aaron_n may_v learn_v to_o walk_v humble_o with_o his_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o will_v beat_v down_o a_o child_n of_o god_n more_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o own_o eye_n than_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o own_o corruption_n and_o the_o conscience_n of_o his_o own_o unworthiness_n solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o the_o affliction_n that_o god_n send_v a_o man_n under_o the_o sun_n be_v to_o humble_v he_o and_o all_o that_o be_v too_o little_a god_n be_v fain_o sometime_o to_o let_v corruption_n loose_v in_o his_o child_n to_o suffer_v his_o own_o child_n many_o time_n to_o have_v many_o a_o fearful_a conflict_n and_o combat_n and_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v they_o a_o prick_n in_o the_o flesh_n to_o molest_v they_o he_o suffer_v they_o to_o have_v many_o fearful_a trial_n in_o the_o flesh_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o jebusite_n in_o the_o land_n such_o a_o enemy_n in_o our_o own_o bowel_n such_o a_o thorn_n in_o our_o eye_n such_o prick_v in_o our_o side_n the_o proud_a heart_n may_v never_o find_v time_n to_o sit_v and_o bless_v itself_o in_o any_o gift_n or_o grace_n wherewith_o god_n have_v honour_v it_o nay_o here_o be_v not_o all_o god_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v corruption_n to_o grow_v and_o to_o rule_v in_o his_o child_n that_o he_o may_v humble_v they_o but_o god_n sometime_o permitt_v his_o child_n to_o fall_v into_o some_o great_a sin_n that_o they_o may_v not_o fall_v into_o pride_n say_v saint_n austin_n i_o be_o bold_a to_o speak_v it_o i_o think_v it_o profitable_a for_o the_o child_n of_o god_n sometime_o to_o sin_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o fall_v into_o pride_n as_o a_o physician_n when_o he_o will_v cure_v a_o convulsion_n he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o procure_v a_o ague_n so_o god_n to_o cure_v pride_n that_o dangerous_a sin_n in_o his_o child_n many_o time_n suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o other_o sin_n though_o they_o be_v fearful_a in_o themselves_o that_o they_o may_v not_o fall_v into_o pride_n when_o man_n grow_v proud_a of_o any_o gift_n or_o grace_n that_o god_n have_v honour_v they_o with_o a_o man_n as_o gregory_n speak_v make_v a_o sore_a of_o a_o salve_n therefore_o god_n suffer_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o other_o sin_n that_o so_o he_o may_v make_v a_o salve_n of_o a_o sore_a that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v be_v
