to_o the_o corbanim_fw-la the_o most_o holy_a or_o to_o the_o terumoth_a which_o be_v simple_o holy_a concern_v this_o last_o which_o we_o translate_v heave-offering_n there_o remain_v two_o thing_n

of_o holies_n the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n i_o frame_v thus_o if_o all_o the_o oblationes_fw-la ignitae_fw-la or_o fire-offering_n be_v therefore_o call_v sanctae_fw-la sanctarum_fw-la holy_a of_o holies_n because_o they_o be_v not_o only_o consecrate_v to_o god_n but_o further_a sign_n and_o type_n of_o holy_a thing_n to_o come_v and_o so_o have_v a_o double_a holiness_n one_o of_o sanctification_n another_o of_o signification_n then_o the_o heave-offering_n which_o never_o be_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o call_v be_v only_o simple_o holy_a but_o no_o type_n of_o holy_a thing_n to_o come_v but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a neither_o can_v other_o reason_n be_v give_v of_o this_o distinction_n therefore_o heave-offering_n be_v no_o type_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v 2._o my_o second_o reason_n shall_v be_v from_o the_o differ_a usage_n of_o terumoth_n from_o the_o most_o holy_a offering_n for_o the_o most_o holy_a offering_n be_v to_o be_v eat_v only_o of_o priest_n by_o condition_n of_o male_n by_o sex_n and_o in_o no_o place_n but_o the_o holy_a place_n and_o that_o because_o christ_n who_o type_n they_o be_v be_v to_o be_v a_o priest_n no_o minister_a levite_n a_o male_a no_o female_a and_o be_v to_o offer_v and_o make_v his_o own_o body_n a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n in_o no_o other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o the_o holy_a city_n of_o jerusalem_n but_o as_o for_o heave-offering_n not_o only_o priest_n but_o every_o levite_n singer_n and_o doorkeeper_n not_o only_o male_n but_o the_o wife_n and_o daughter_n of_o the_o levite_n not_o only_o virgin_n but_o even_o widow_n and_o divorce_v woman_n not_o only_o free_a israelite_n but_o even_o their_o slave_n and_o bondman_n who_o be_v not_o of_o the_o son_n of_o israel_n and_o not_o only_o in_o the_o holy_a place_n but_o in_o every_o place_n they_o eat_v they_o the_o truth_n hereof_o be_v certain_a and_o obvious_a through_o all_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n without_o any_o one_o little_a cross_v it_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o therefore_o with_o quotation_n but_o frame_v my_o second_o reason_n after_o this_o manner_n if_o none_o may_v eat_v of_o the_o most_o holy_a offering_n but_o only_a priest_n only_a male_n and_o only_o in_o the_o holy_a place_n because_o only_a priest_n only_a male_n and_o of_o all_o place_n only_o the_o sanctuary_n or_o holy_a place_n be_v type_n of_o christ_n

that_o in_o every_o place_n those_o offering_n doubtless_o can_v be_v typical_a or_o sign_n of_o christ_n or_o any_o thing_n proper_a to_o he_o unless_o we_o affirm_v that_o every_o levite_n levite_n
