signify_v in_o our_o heart_n so_o when_o we_o see_v man_n offer_v say_v he_o we_o know_v that_o visible_a sacrifice_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v offer_v unto_o any_o other_o but_o unto_o he_o who_o invisible_a sacrifice_n we_o ourselves_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n thus_o s._n augustine_n whereby_o we_o see_v that_o exterior_a visible_a sacrifice_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o invisible_a sacrifice_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o of_o his_o dominion_n over_o we_o and_o our_o subjection_n unto_o he_o as_o sounding_z or_o articulate_a word_n be_v sign_n of_o thing_n and_o therefore_o as_o when_o man_n speak_v word_n to_o god_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o same_o intention_n in_o their_o heart_n which_o their_o articulate_a or_o sound_a word_n do_v signify_v
