former_a without_o show_v of_o the_o express_a precept_n so_o it_o be_v a_o like_a rashness_n to_o deny_v the_o other_o by_o way_n of_o true_a construction_n as_o make_v more_o in_o favour_n than_o the_o other_o and_o imply_v the_o same_o authority_n and_o hazard_n in_o case_n of_o violation_n as_o the_o other_o wherefore_o under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o law_n we_o must_v know_v that_o a_o rule_n

this_o latter_a sort_n i_o be_o ready_a now_o not_o only_o to_o prove_v but_o to_o demonstrate_v unto_o any_o clear_a and_o unprejudiced_a man_n by_o these_o two_o irrefragable_a argument_n 1._o because_o though_o god_n in_o all_o age_n leave_v to_o humane_a prudence_n the_o order_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v agreeable_a only_o unto_o humane_a order_n yet_o he_o never_o suffer_v it_o so_o deprave_v especial_o as_o it_o be_v since_o the_o fall_n to_o excogitate_v any_o way_n of_o worship_n whatsoever_o much_o less_o a_o entire_a way_n to_o please_v he_o such_o as_o sacrifice_n with_o all_o its_o appurtenance_n ever_o be_v which_o if_o i_o take_v for_o the_o assumption_n of_o my_o argument_n i_o believe_v it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v in_o its_o kind_n ergo_fw-la the_o offer_n of_o sacrifice_n can_v not_o be_v of_o any_o man_n excogitation_n the_o major_a likewise_o will_v hold_v its_o own_o unless_o a_o instance_n can_v be_v give_v in_o any_o other_o thing_n beside_o sacrifice_n itself_o which_o i_o believe_v can_v be_v do_v and_o if_o they_o still_o insist_v no_o less_o on_o that_o than_o before_o we_o say_v it_o be_v very_o strange_a that_o so_o important_a a_o thing_n as_o sacrifice_v about_o which_o god_n afterward_o establish_v but_o a_o better_a order_n destroy_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n for_o offer_v strange_a fire_n before_o the_o lord_n 10.1_o which_o he_o command_v they_o not_o shall_v be_v the_o sole_a exception_n but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v further_o why_o may_v not_o god_n accept_v of_o sacrifice_n which_o man_n have_v offer_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n after_o make_v a_o ordinance_n of_o they_o as_o christ_n himself_o do_v of_o baptism_n in_o use_n among_o the_o jew_n before_o or_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o be_v use_v at_o the_o passover_n to_o frame_v his_o own_o supper_n by_o it_o according_a to_o their_o use_n i_o answer_v that_o for_o baptism_n if_o it_o have_v be_v ground_v in_o pharisaical_a wash_n it_o will_v have_v avail_v the_o objector_n somewhat_o but_o that_o which_o be_v ground_v on_o the_o law_n and_o warrant_v by_o it_o before_o may_v well_o be_v take_v out_o and_o vary_v by_o the_o giver_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o for_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o he_o abolish_v the_o passover_n he_o take_v bread_n and_o wine_n out_o of_o it_o as_o he_o have_v take_v a_o rib_n out_o of_o adam_n and_o make_v another_o creature_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o of_o humane_a invention_n therefore_o leave_v in_o either_o of_o these_o have_v both_o their_o first_o original_n from_o god_n before_o man_n be_v conversant_a about_o they_o in_o sine_fw-la if_o it_o be_v urge_v that_o if_o sacrifice_n be_v by_o no_o law_n it_o remain_v that_o they_o must_v needs_o have_v their_o original_a from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o man_n bethink_v themselves_o what_o service_n be_v proper_a for_o they_o to_o offer_v unto_o their_o maker_n lord_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o all_o and_o that_o none_o appear_v like_a to_o sacrifice_n of_o live_a creature_n and_o oblation_n of_o other_o precious_a thing_n they_o shall_v then_o make_v way_n for_o my_o second_o argument_n viz._n that_o second_o because_o illumination_n come_v between_o therefore_o sacrifice_n must_v needs_o be_v from_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n in_o which_o i_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o prove_v first_o that_o illumination_n come_v in_o and_o second_o that_o it_o amount_v to_o a_o law_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v rid_v of_o this_o too_o now_o in_o the_o touch_n upon_o this_o point_n methinks_v i_o can_v but_o foresee_v that_o my_o adversary_n be_v ready_a to_o compound_v with_o i_o by_o some_o concession_n viz._n that_o god_n be_v not_o deficient_a to_o they_o that_o use_v their_o right_a reason_n to_o illuminate_v they_o some_o way_n yet_o as_o by_o the_o use_n of_o their_o own_o natural_a reason_n and_o not_o by_o ungrounded_a infusion_n or_o outward_a revelation_n any_o more_o than_o he_o do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o bezaleel_n who_o he_o fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n 5._o in_o wisdom_n and_o in_o understanding_n and_o in_o knowledge_n to_o fit_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o yet_o he_o wrought_v as_o a_o artist_n still_o but_o i_o be_o not_o so_o much_o afraid_a of_o my_o

of_o they_o shall_v hap_v to_o be_v afterward_o convert_v to_o profane_a use_n which_o do_v not_o amount_v to_o so_o much_o as_o the_o heathen_a do_v imagine_v who_o think_v their_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o that_o celestial_a element_n of_o fire_n or_o the_o jewish_a rabbin_n enemy_n unto_o christ_n or_o any_o mystery_n relate_v unto_o he_o for_o they_o hold_v 1._o that_o burnt-offering_n be_v to_o expiate_v for_o matter_n whereupon_o there_o be_v a_o penalty_n and_o that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o beast_n that_o be_v sacrifice_v do_v serve_v to_o expiate_v even_o for_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o which_o we_o may_v collect_v that_o they_o also_o think_v their_o offering_n to_o have_v be_v purify_v by_o the_o ●ir●_n of_o the_o altar_n now_o i_o can_v hardly_o forbear_v at_o the_o first_o entrance_n to_o declare_v my_o opinion_n that_o whoever_o doubt_v ●o_o deny_v that_o sacrifice_n come_v in_o ure_n by_o the_o use_n of_o natural_a reason_n excogitate_v any_o acceptable_a service_n unto_o god_n or_o to_o determine_v and_o affirm_v with_o we_o that_o they_o come_v in_o by_o institution_n only_o according_a to_o the_o illumination_n of_o the_o very_a first_o patriarch_n and_o be_v not_o essential_a to_o salvation_n before_o moses_n they_o can_v hardly_o come_v so_o clear_o off_o from_o pelagianism_n or_o socinianism_n as_o to_o
