who_o be_v his_o and_o who_o be_v holy_a i_o e._n in_o office_n and_o function_n as_o the_o next_o word_n plain_o declare_v and_o who_o ought_v to_o approach_v near_o unto_o he_o i._n e._n as_o a_o priest_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n burn_v incense_n and_o perform_v other_o sacerdotal_a function_n and_o indeed_o the_o lord_n show_v it_o with_o a_o vengeance_n by_o the_o dismal_a destruction_n of_o these_o unhallowed_a rebel_n and_o so_o you_o see_v how_o these_o rebel_n here_o most_o profane_o pervert_v and_o abuse_v god_n sacred_a word_n because_o all_o the_o congregation_n be_v holy_a as_o be_v separate_v from_o all_o other_o people_n by_o the_o choice_n of_o almighty_a god_n to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n therefore_o by_o this_o equivocate_a trick_n and_o shift_n they_o will_v have_v set_v up_o this_o whole_a congregation_n to_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o aaron_n for_o the_o priestly_a office_n and_o so_o have_v thrust_v he_o out_o of_o that_o eminent_a

when_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v present_a and_o here_o most_o impudent_o they_o abuse_v god_n honour_n to_o cover_v their_o unworthy_a and_o base_a practice_n for_o they_o can_v

pleasure_n 49.23_o it_o can_v be_v no_o derogation_n from_o his_o honour_n or_o glory_n that_o moses_n be_v lift_v up_o above_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o have_v it_o be_v
