therefore_o now_o proceed_v unto_o two_o or_o three_o question_n that_o remain_v to_o be_v consider_v before_o we_o leave_v this_o point_n quest_n 1._o the_o first_o be_v whether_o the_o legal_a sacrifice_n may_v not_o be_v otherwise_o distribute_v and_o what_o other_o distribution_n there_o be_v of_o they_o ans_fw-fr the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o scripture_n give_v other_o distribution_n also_o as_o well_o as_o this_o in_o the_o text_n but_o i_o choose_v to_o handle_v they_o in_o this_o as_o the_o plain_a for_o weak_a memory_n they_o be_v sometime_o thus_o divide_v into_o zebach_n and_o mincha_fw-mi that_o be_v slaughter_a offering_n and_o meat-offering_n dan._n 9.27_o he_o shall_v cause_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n to_o cease_v the_o word_n be_v the_o slaughter_n offer_v and_o the_o meat_n offer_v to_o cease_v zebach_n and_o mincha_fw-mi and_o in_o many_o other_o scripture_n the_o meat_n offering_n be_v of_o inanimate_a thing_n offer_v up_o to_o god_n by_o fire_n upon_o the_o altar_n but_o the_o slaughter_v offering_n be_v of_o live_a creature_n and_o these_o be_v offer_v up_o both_o by_o fire_n and_o blood_n the_o beast_n be_v first_o slay_v and_o then_o burn_v with_o fire_n some_o have_v distinguish_v these_o two_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o end_n and_o use_n thus_o that_o the_o slay_a sacrifice_n respect_v chief_o the_o suffering_n and_o passive_a obedience_n of_o christ_n as_o make_v satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o his_o death_n and_o blood_n and_o that_o the_o meat-offering_a relate_v chief_o to_o his_o active_a obedience_n whereby_o he_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o we_o by_o his_o holy_a and_o bless_a life_n good_a work_n be_v as_o it_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_n to_o a_o holy_a heart_n in_o the_o meat-offering_a therefore_o say_v they_o be_v shadow_v by_o the_o burn_a and_o ascend_v of_o inanimate_a thing_n the_o obedience_n and_o merit_n of_o christ_n to_o come_v but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v to_o his_o active_a obedience_n only_o for_o the_o burn_a and_o destroy_v the_o meat-offering_a by_o fire_n do_v plain_o represent_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o divine_a justice_n as_o be_v former_o show_v more_o full_o in_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o meat_n offer_v moreover_o the_o slaughter_a offering_n may_v be_v subdivide_v from_o their_o end_n and_o use_n thus_o that_o they_o be_v either_o simple_o for_o atonement_n and_o pardon_n of_o sin_n or_o for_o other_o occasion_n also_o those_o for_o atonement_n of_o sin_n be_v either_o for_o all_o sin_n
