the_o spiritual_a and_o inward_a sacrifice_n be_v more_o please_v to_o god_n then_o be_v external_a sacrifice_n yea_o in_o respect_n and_o comparison_n of_o the_o inward_a sacrifice_n god_n as_o it_o be_v despise_v the_o external_a sacrifice_n as_o we_o have_v see_v above_o 7._o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o new_a la_o which_o be_v of_o christ_n all_o those_o external_a sacrifice_n
