sacrifice_n of_o god_n be_v a_o break_a spirit_n the_o demonstration_n be_v this_o because_o a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n god_n will_v not_o despise_v in_o the_o assertion_n we_o have_v two_o thing_n present_v themselves_o to_o our_o consideration_n 1._o that_o a_o break_a spirit_n be_v to_o god_n a_o sacrifice_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v to_o god_n as_o that_o which_o answer_v to_o or_o go_v beyond_o all_o sacrifice_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n be_v a_o break_a spirit_n the_o demonstration_n of_o this_o be_v plain_a for_o that_o heart_n god_n will_v not_o despise_v it_o a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n o_o god_n thou_o will_v not_o despise_v whence_o i_o draw_v this_o conclusion_n that_o a_o spirit_n right_o break_v a_o heart_n true_o contrite_a be_v to_o god_n a_o excellent_a thing_n that_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o go_v beyond_o all_o external_n duty_n whatever_n for_o that_o be_v intend_v by_o this_o say_n the_o sacrifice_n because_o it_o answer_v to_o all_o sacrifice_n which_o we_o can_v offer_v to_o god_n yea_o it_o serve_v in_o the_o room_n of_o all_o all_o our_o sacrifice_n without_o this_o be_v nothing_o this_o alone_a be_v all_o there_o be_v four_o thing_n that_o be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o god._n the_o first_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o our_o sin_n of_o this_o you_o read_v heb._n 10._o for_o there_o you_o have_v it_o prefer_v to_o all_o burn_a offering_n and_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v this_o that_o please_v god_n it_o be_v this_o that_o sanctify_v and_o so_o set_v the_o people_n acceptable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god._n second_o unseigned_a love_n o_o god_n be_v count_v better_a than_o all_o sacrifice_n or_o external_a part_n of_o worship_n and_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o the_o heart_n with_o all_o the_o understanding_n and_o with_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o the_o strength_n and_o to_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o be_v better_a than_o all_o whole_a burnt-offering_n and_o sacrifice_n mar_n 12._o 33._o three_o to_o walk_v holy_o and_o humble_o and_o obedient_o towards_o and_o before_o god_n be_v another_o mich._n 6._o 6_o 7_o 8._o have_v the_o lord_n as_o great_a delight_n in_o burnt-offering_n and_o sacrifice_n as_o in_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n behold_v to_o obey_v be_v better_a than_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o harken_v the●_n the_o fat_a of_o ram_n 1_o sam._n 15._o 22._o four_o and_o this_o in_o our_o text_n be_v the_o four_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n be_v a_o break_a spirit_n a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n o_o god_n thou_o will_v not_o despise_v but_o note_n by_o the_o way_n that_o this_o break_a this_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n be_v thus_o excellent_a only_o to_o god_n o_o god_n say_v he_o thou_o will_v not_o despise_v it_o by_o which_o be_v employ_v the_o world_n have_v not_o this_o esteem_n or_o respect_n for_o such_o a_o heart_n or_o for_o one_o that_o be_v of_o a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a spirit_n no_o no_o a_o man_n a_o woman_n that_o be_v bless_v with_o a_o break_a heart_n be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o get_v by_o that_o esteem_v with_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v but_o burden_n and_o trouble_v house_n wherever_o they_o be_v or_o go_v such_o people_n carry_v with_o they_o molestation_n and_o disquietment_n they_o be_v in_o carnal_a family_n as_o david_n be_v to_o the_o king_n of_o gath_n troubler_n of_o the_o house_n 1_o sam._n 21._o their_o sigh_n their_o tear_n their_o day_n and_o night_n groan_v their_o cry_n and_o prayer_n and_o solitary_a carriage_n put_v all_o the_o carnal_a family_n out_o of_o order_n hence_o you_o have_v they_o browbeaten_a by_o some_o contemn_v by_o other_o you_o and_o their_o company_n flee_v from_o and_o disert_v by_o other_o but_o mark_v the_o text_n a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n o_o god_n thou_o will_v not_o despise_v but_o rather_o accept_v for_o not_o to_o despise_v be_v with_o god_n to_o esteem_v and_o set_v a_o high_a price_n upon_o but_o we_o will_v demonstrate_v by_o several_a particular_n that_o a_o break_a spirit_n a_o spirit_n right_o break_v a_o heart_n true_o contrite_a be_v to_o god_n a_o excellent_a thing_n first_o this_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o comparison_n thou_o desire_v not_o sacrifice_n else_o will_v i_o give_v it_o thou_o delight_v not_o in_o burnt-offering_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o god_n be_v a_o break_a spirit_n etc._n etc._n mark_v he_o reject_v sacrifice_n offering_n and_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v all_o levitical_a ceremony_n under_o the_o law_n and_o all_o external_n performance_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o accept_v a_o break_a heart_n it_o be_v therefore_o manifest_a by_o this_o be_v there_o nothing_o else_o to_o be_v say_v that_o prove_v that_o a_o heart_n right_o break_v a_o heart_n true_o contrite_a be_v to_o god_n a_o excellent_a thing_n for_o as_o you_o see_v such_o a_o heart_n be_v set_v before_o all_o sacrifice_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v but_o lo_o a_o break_a spirit_n be_v above_o they_o all_o a_o contrite_a heart_n go_v beyond_o they_o yea_o beyond_o they_o when_o put_v all_o together_o thou_o will_v not_o have_v the_o one_o thou_o will_v not_o despise_v the_o other_o o_o brethren_n a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n have_v i_o say_v a_o break_a heart_n a_o break_a and_o a_o contrite_a heart_n be_v esteem_v above_o all_o sacrifice_n i_o will_v add_v second_o it_o be_v of_o great_a esteem_n with_o god_n then_o be_v either_o heaven_n or_o earth_n and_o that_o be_v more_o than_o to_o be_v set_v before_o external_n duty_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n heaven_n be_v my_o throne_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v my_o
