appease or assuage the anger of one that is incens'd so it s taken Gen. 32.20 I will saith Jacob concerning his brother Esau appease him with the present that goeth before me so 2 Sam. 21.3 it signifies also to † Psal 32.1 cover to ‖ Psal 49.7 8. redeem c. but this of atoning or pacifying is most usual Now in order to this atoning God appointed Sacrifices the shedding of whose blood was to make an atonement saith the Lord here and he goes over it again for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the Soul All along in the several kinds of Sacrifices it runs it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him the Priest shall make an atonement for them c. this alwayes comes in as the great end or effect of the Law-Sacrifices Whence they are said to be of a sweet savour unto the Lord not only because of their pleasingness to God but also because they made him propitious to and well-pleased with such as had offended him so Levit. 1.9 13 17. 'T is the same word but sometimes 't is rendred by reconciling as Levit. 6.30 No Sin-offering_ to reconcile withal in the holy place Levit. 8.15 to make reconciliation upon it We find when at any time in some particular judgments the anger of God did break forth either against the people or against particular persons presently they betook themselves to Sacrifices thereby to atone and propitiate him Numb 16.46 And Moses said unto Aaron take a Censer and put fire therein from off the Altar and put on incense and go quickly unto the Congregation and make an atonement for them for there is wrath gone out from the Lord the plague is begun 2 Sam. 24 25. And David built there an Altar unto the Lord and offered Burnt-offerings and Peace-offerings so the Lord was intreated for the Land and the plague was staid from Israel As to the other End or Effect viz. Expiation that also belong'd to Sacrifices they had a power or virtue in them to cleanse and purifie from Sins guilt to procure pardon and remission whence they were called Expiatory and had it not been for this effect they could not have passed under that denomination A full proof of it you have in that one Sacrifice the Heifer which was to be offered for the cleansing of the people when murder had been committed but the acter of it was conceal'd Deut. 21.7 8. And they shall answer and say Our hands have not shed this blood neither have our eyes seen it Be merciful O Lord unto thy people Israel and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israels charge and the blood shall be forgiven them So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from amongst you c. was not here expiation and wherein did that lie but in the putting away of the guilt of innocent blood and in the obtaining of pardon for 't is said and the blood shall be forgiven them This is that which is set forth by cleansing from sin Levit. 16.30 For on that day shall the Priest make an atonement for you to cleanse you that you may be clean from all your sin before the Lord Numb 3.5 for blood defileth the band and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein but by the blood of him that shed it The Apostle sets it forth by purifying of the flesh Heb. 9.13 by which he means the taking away of that ceremonial ritual or civil guilt which any did lie under And he puts it out of all doubt that expiation in the old Sacrifices did not point to the abolition of Sins power but to the ablation of Sins guilt for having said that * Heb. 9.22 almost all things are by the Law purged with blood he tells you what he meant by that purging adding without shedding of blood is no remission or expiation of sins guilt and this is the notion which alwayes he drives at in that Epistle in those several words which he there uses viz. sanctifying purifying purging c. Indeed this was the * Vide Essen Tri. Crucis l. 1. sect 4. c. 8. p. 6. chief and most proper effect of Sacrifices other things might be done by them but this was the main therefore it so often comes in upon this account And the Priest shall make an atonement for them and it shall be forgiven them Levit. 4.20 so Vers 26. 31 35. * Causa cur noluerit Deus alteri Sacrificari quam sibi ea potissimum videtur quod Sacrificia imprimis fierent ad expiandâ peccata solus verò Deus jus habeat ea condonandi Vossius de Idol l. 1. p. 977. And this might be one Reason why God prohibited the offering of Sacrifices to any but to himself because the end of them being the forgiveness of sin and none being able to reach that end but himself therefore none should be sacrific'd unto but himself Four things laid down concerning Atonement and Expiation by Sacrifices For the better understanding of this double Effect of the Law-Sacrifices I desire four things may be considered 1. That the atonement and expiation effected by those Sacrifices must be conceived of as done by them in that notion which was proper to them as Sacrifices None can deny but that they did atone and expiate but how did they so do there 's the question I answer this was done by them as they were substituted in the place of Offenders and were slain in their stead and for their sake other accounts I know by some are given of this but that now set down is the true as appears by what hath been already spoken under the two foregoing Heads 2. That this atoning and expiating virtue was not limited only to the Sacrifices us'd at the anniversary great Expiation but it belong'd to the other Sacrifices For instance to Burnt-offerings I take in those that were made use of before the giving of the Law about Sacrifices see Job 1.5 42.8 after the giving of the Law to Free-will-offerings Levit. 1.3 4 c. to the Meat-offering and Drink-offering Levit. 2. per tot Levit. 23.13 Numb 15.7 10 13 14. to the Peace-offering Levit. 3.15 16. to the Sin-offering and Trespass-offering Levit. 4.6 to the Ram which was therefore call'd the Ram of atonement Numb 5.8 there 's no end of such instances 3. That yet the atonement and expiation proper to those Sacrifices is to be limited according to the bounds which God himself was pleas'd to set for 't was but in such cases and for such sins wherein he did admit of them in order to these effects of which more by and by 4. That these effects were not produc'd by any inherent or innate virtue in the Sacrifices themselves but only as they were instituted by God and as they derived efficacy from the Sacrifice to come Christ himself Take away these two things and what could these Sacrifices have done

Here was much likeness you see of sinful flesh yet 't was but likeness and nothing more some external appearance of sin there was but that was all yet no sin in truth and reality 't was the verity and sameness of natural flesh 't was but the likeness of sinful flesh As 't was with the brazen Serpent that was made in an exact resemblance of the fiery Serpents having that very shape and form which they had yet 't was but the likeness of them for it had not that poison and venome in it which was in them so here as to Christ of whom the brazen Serpent even in this was an excellent type he seem'd to have that very flesh which we have and so he had in such a sense but yet there was this difference ours is envenom'd his not 't is truly sinful flesh in us 't was but like sinful flesh in him This as before may be understood either of Christ's fleshly part or of his whole Humane Nature In the first respect so his flesh was sinless he had a true body but there was no sin in that body 't was pure holy untainted * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cyrill Lib. 15. contra Julian Peccatricem carnem non assumpsit qualis est nostra naturalem vero illam nostram assumpsit Si Caro Adae erat vera Caro antequam peccavit in Paradiso utique Christi caro vera est humana caro etiamsi peccati qualitatem non assumpserit Muscul Nostram induens suam fecit suam faciens non peccatricem eam fecit Tertull. de Car.
