common_a they_o concern_v both_o they_o and_o we_o in_o those_o duty_n and_o devotion_n that_o belong_v to_o both_o we_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o prophet_n have_v reference_n to_o the_o condition_n of_o that_o time_n &_o do_v invite_v both_o the_o priest_n and_o the_o people_n to_o that_o outward_a service_n of_o sacrifice_n and_o offering_n in_o the_o exercise_n whereof_o it_o please_v god_n in_o his_o wisdom_n then_o to_o train_v they_o up_o but_o because_o we_o hear_v god_n so_o often_o profess_v that_o he_o respect_v not_o their_o naked_a and_o bare_a sacrifice_n and_o seem_v so_o to_o reckon_v of_o they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o give_v commandment_n of_o any_o such_o namely_o when_o they_o be_v destitute_a of_o that_o inward_a piety_n and_o obedience_n and_o devotion_n which_o god_n will_v have_v to_o be_v exercise_v thereby_o therefore_o we_o must_v conceive_v that_o the_o prophet_n here_o also_o look_v further_o then_o to_o outward_a service_n and_o in_o commend_v to_o they_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o do_v call_v they_o to_o inward_a affection_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n unto_o god_n see_v then_o the_o outward_a solemnity_n and_o
