holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o forsake_v the_o jew_n religion_n they_o continue_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o outward_a strictness_n in_o religion_n and_o yet_o have_v commit_v that_o unpardonable_a sin_n therefore_o you_o may_v apostatise_v for_o from_o god_n though_o you_o do_v not_o forsake_v the_o public_a ordinance_n of_o god_n they_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o

upon_o he_o that_o be_v typify_v by_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o you_o offer_v but_o you_o want_v that_o inward_a spiritual_a worship_n in_o your_o soul_n i_o account_v all_o your_o sacrifice_n but_o flesh_n most_o people_n offer_v nothing_o up_o unto_o god_n in_o all_o their_o sacrifice_n 2._o but_o flesh_n their_o offering_n be_v flesh_n that_o be_v thus_o even_o in_o your_o prayer_n in_o your_o hear_n in_o your_o receive_n you_o offer_v sacrifice_n but_o all_o be_v but_o flesh_n god_n have_v the_o outward_a man_n and_o it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v fleshly_a end_n in_o what_o you_o do_v and_o fleshly_a carnal_a heart_n you_o offer_v the_o flesh_n many_o a_o man_n that_o have_v excellent_a gift_n in_o prayer_n prayer_n and_o seem_v to_o offer_v up_o a_o excellent_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n but_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o flesh_n there_o be_v little_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n of_o the_o sanctify_a spirit_n nothing_o it_o may_v be_v a_o man_n that_o perhaps_o may_v preach_v excellent_o preach_v yet_o in_o fleshly_a wisdom_n nothing_o but_o fleshly_a excellency_n oh_o my_o brethren_n what_o be_v our_o sacrifice_n if_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o fleshly_a excellency_n you_o know_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v all_o flesh_n be_v grass_n and_o as_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o field_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v for_o ever_o enterprete_v all_o a_o man_n part_n all_o thing_n be_v but_o flesh_n that_o be_v not_o spiritual_a &_o the_o sanctify_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o word_n but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n abide_v that_o be_v the_o impression_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o sanctify_a work_n of_o god_n spirit_n abide_v for_o ever_o but_o all_o flesh_n be_v grass_n you_o have_v get_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o fleshly_a excellency_n in_o part_n so_o as_o other_o admire_v your_o gift_n part_n i_o but_o this_o flesh_n be_v as_o grass_n it_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o all_o your_o esteem_n will_v come_v to_o nothing_o oh_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n my_o brethren_n that_o our_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o flesh_n for_o though_o they_o may_v glitter_v a_o while_n in_o the_o world_n within_o a_o few_o year_n all_o will_v be_v as_o grass_n and_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o but_o further_o 1._o they_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n why_o god_n command_v they_o to_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n here_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o accusation_n not_o that_o they_o sacrifice_v but_o that_o they_o sacrifice_v nothing_o but_o the_o outward_a part_n flesh_n do_v not_o think_v that_o that_o be_v the_o main_a meaning_n but_o this_o rather_o in_o the_o burn_a offering_n all_o the_o whole_a sacrifice_n be_v tender_v up_o to_o god_n but_o now_o there_o be_v another_o offering_n that_o be_v the_o peace_n offer_v and_o there_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v some_o part_n of_o it_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o offerer_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v eat_v part_n of_o the_o offering_n when_o they_o come_v to_o offer_v that_o they_o come_v with_o their_o friend_n because_o they_o be_v to_o have_v some_o of_o it_o exp._n now_o say_v god_n they_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n that_o be_v they_o change_v my_o ordinance_n when_o as_o that_o i_o look_v for_o burn_a offering_n from_o from_o they_o the_o whole_a offering_n they_o will_v rather_o offer_v peace_n offering_n wherein_o they_o shall_v have_v part_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o can_v take_v content_a in_o thus_o i_o find_v interpreter_n carry_v it_o and_o i_o very_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o from_o hence_o the_o note_n be_v 3._o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o god_n worship_n wherein_o any_o self_n respect_n may_v come_v in_o there_o we_o be_v content_a to_o be_v forward_o but_o yet_o in_o that_o we_o rather_o aim_v at_o serve_v ourselves_o then_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o this_o usual_o do_v eat_v out_o all_o true_a devotion_n when_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o be_v do_v and_o part_n of_o that_o duty_n god_n require_v and_o we_o show_v respect_n to_o god_n in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v another_o part_n wherein_o we_o enjoy_v ourselves_o now_o such_o kind_n of_o duty_n as_o these_o be_v man_n can_v be_v content_a well_o enough_o withal_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o part_n which_o concern_v themselves_o do_v eat_v out_o all_o the_o true_a devotion_n unto_o god_n although_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v pretend_v yet_o self-respect_n they_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v most_o upon_o fast_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o keep_v of_o festival_n they_o like_v they_o well_o enough_o and_o we_o do_v not_o read_v so_o much_o charge_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o because_o there_o be_v something_o agreeable_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o now_o for_o the_o day_n of_o their_o fast_n say_v god_n whosoever_o afflict_v not_o his_o soul_n that_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o mind_n to_o that_o in_o the_o ten_o day_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n therefore_o god_n threaten_v that_o whosoever_o do_v not_o afflict_v his_o soul_n that_o day_n it_o shall_v be_v cut_v off_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n indeed_o why_o man_n be_v so_o much_o set_v upon_o their_o feastival_n they_o pretend_v god_n worship_n and_o honour_n to_o their_o bless_a saviour_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o belly_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n and_o their_o sport_n and_o the_o licence_n to_o the_o flesh_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o keep_v i_o warrant_v you_o let_v the_o time_n as_o now_o it_o fall_v out_o be_v the_o time_n of_o a_o fast_a it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o regard_v and_o for_o any_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o feastival_n when_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n call_v to_o fast_v certain_o that_o man_n regard_v his_o own_o belly_n rather_o than_o god_n and_o that_o by_o which_o all_o these_o feastival_n be_v uphold_v it_o be_v because_o that_o together_o with_o a_o seem_a kind_n of_o religion_n the_o belly_n get_v so_o much_o but_o now_o such_o duty_n where_o god_n be_v serve_v and_o nature_n deny_v they_o be_v great_a testimony_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o our_o heart_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o when_o we_o can_v offer_v up_o our_o burn_a offering_n whole_o to_o god_n and_o ourselves_o deny_v they_o be_v testimony_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o we_o simile_n as_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o instance_n in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o first_o of_o king_n the_o 13._o you_o read_v of_o the_o lion_n that_o do_v slay_v the_o prophet_n that_o go_v contrary_a to_o god_n commandment_n 13_o now_o it_o be_v a_o special_a end_n of_o god_n that_o send_v the_o lion_n to_o slay_v he_o and_o that_o god_n will_v give_v a_o testimony_n that_o the_o lion_n do_v not_o come_v of_o a_o chance_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o prophet_n and_o kill_v he_o therefore_o the_o text_n observe_v that_o the_o lion_n stand_v by_o the_o carcase_n and_o do_v not_o meddle_v with_o it_o after_o it_o be_v once_o slay_v it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o lion_n to_o have_v feed_v upon_o the_o carcase_n but_o here_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o be_v mere_o from_o god_n what_o the_o lion_n do_v so_o when_o any_o man_n shall_v perform_v a_o duty_n mere_o for_o god_n and_o in_o that_o duty_n shall_v deny_v himself_o shall_v be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o honour_n or_o preferment_n cause_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n god_n be_v in_o it_o and_o so_o in_o this_o public_a service_n oh_o who_o will_v not_o venture_v himself_o for_o the_o public_a cause_n i_o but_o there_o be_v a_o public_a pay_n too_o as_o well_o as_o the_o public_a cause_n pay_n but_o now_o if_o a_o man_n can_v venture_v to_o the_o uttermost_a though_o he_o have_v not_o that_o which_o he_o
expect_v yet_o he_o be_v content_a to_o venture_v himself_o as_o much_o as_o he_o do_v before_o god_n be_v in_o this_o man_n certain_o when_o he_o can_v do_v a_o work_n and_o deny_v himself_o that_o work_n and_o true_o we_o shall_v be_v willing_a so_o to_o do_v why_o because_o god_n do_v not_o require_v of_o we_o self-denial_n that_o shall_v do_v we_o any_o hurt_n god_n will_v never_o have_v we_o deny_v ourselves_o in_o thing_n that_o immediate_o concern_v our_o communion_n with_o himself_o thing_n and_o our_o eternal_a good_a god_n expect_v self-denial_n but_o it_o be_v only_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o concern_v this_o present_a life_n now_o when_o god_n be_v so_o propitious_a to_o we_o in_o require_v duty_n that_o he_o will_v let_v we_o sometime_o enjoy_v ourselves_o and_o when_o he_o require_v self-denial_n it_o be_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o inferior_a we_o shall_v not_o much_o stand_n upon_o in_o deny_v ourselves_o in_o they_o it_o follow_v but_o the_o lord_n accept_v they_o not_o as_o if_o he_o say_v i_o will_v not_o have_v they_o i_o be_v not_o please_v with_o they_o 4._o whatsoever_o our_o service_n be_v if_o self_n be_v regard_v all_o be_v reject_v not_o only_o if_o sin_n be_v regard_v if_o i_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o my_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hear_v my_o prayer_n but_o if_o self_n be_v regard_v our_o service_n may_v please_v ourselves_o but_o not_o please_v god_n and_o for_o this_o you_o have_v a_o famous_a scripture_n in_o amos_n 5._o 22._o 22._o i_o will_v not_o regard_v the_o peace_n offering_n of_o your_o fat_a beast_n and_o this_o text_n in_o amos_n have_v a_o special_a reference_n to_o this_o very_a thing_n and_o amos_n be_v contemporary_a with_o hosea_n doctrine_n and_o so_o meet_v with_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n that_o here_o hosea_n do_v this_o text_n in_o amos_n may_v help_v we_o to_o understand_v this_o in_o hosea_n i_o will_v not_o accept_v the_o offering_n of_o your_o fat_a beast_n but_o observe_v it_o they_o be_v their_o peace_n offering_n he_o do_v not_o say_v i_o will_v not_o accept_v the_o burn_a offering_n of_o your_o fat_a beast_n but_o of_o your_o peace_n offering_n because_o in_o their_o peace_n offering_n they_o eat_v part_n of_o it_o themselves_o and_o say_v god_n let_v your_o offering_n be_v never_o such_o fa●_n beast_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o accept_v of_o they_o so_o let_v your_o duty_n be_v never_o so_o zealous_a and_o abundant_a yet_o if_o they_o be_v only_o in_o respect_n of_o yourselves_o god_n accept_v they_o not_o it_o follow_v now_o will_v i_o remember_v their_o iniquity_n why_o they_o do_v offer_v their_o sacrifice_n to_o the_o end_n that_o their_o sin_n may_v be_v do_v away_o and_o have_v they_o exercise_v faith_n upon_o christ_n the_o true_a sacrifice_n their_o sin_n shall_v have_v be_v do_v away_o yea_o but_o they_o offer_v in_o regard_n of_o themselves_o he_o say_v i_o will_v remember_v your_o sin_n for_o all_o this_o from_o thence_o the_o note_n be_v 5_o that_o many_o man_n may_v perform_v great_a service_n may_v exercise_v themselves_o much_o in_o holy_a duty_n and_o yet_o have_v their_o sin_n as_o much_o upon_o the_o file_n before_o god_n as_o before_o they_o begin_v all_o their_o service_n and_o this_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o kneel_v down_o and_o pray_v with_o woeful_a guiltiness_n upon_o his_o spirit_n and_o rise_v up_o with_o
