what_o incense_n or_o sacrifice_n he_o will_v have_v the_o use_n of_o fire_n in_o it_o shall_v be_v only_o that_o fire_n and_o no_o other_o though_o god_n do_v never_o say_v to_o they_o direct_o in_o these_o word_n you_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o this_o fire_n and_o no_o other_o but_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o understand_v this_o that_o be_v their_o sin_n therefore_o in_o offer_v of_o strange_a fire_n now_o fire_n come_v from_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v consume_v they_o some_o think_v this_o fire_n come_v from_o the_o altar_n but_o sure_o it_o can_v not_o be_v any_o ordinary_a fire_n that_o do_v consume_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n at_o this_o time_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o next_o ver_n to_o my_o text_n that_o the_o body_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n be_v not_o consume_v by_o the_o fire_n no_o nor_o their_o clothes_n they_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o fire_n and_o yet_o their_o clothes_n be_v whole_a therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o ordinary_a fire_n it_o be_v some_o celestial_a fire_n strike_v into_o they_o to_o slay_v they_o for_o so_o say_v the_o text_n in_o the_o 4_o the_o ver_fw-la come_v near_o carry_v away_o your_o brother_n from_o before_o the_o sanctuary_n out_o of_o the_o camp_n and_o so_o they_o go_v and_o carry_v they_o in_o their_o coat_n out_o of_o the_o camp_n so_o that_o their_o clothes_n and_o body_n be_v not_o consume_v only_o they_o be_v kill_v by_o the_o fire_n they_o be_v strike_v with_o a_o sudden_a death_n and_o that_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n such_o a_o death_n as_o god_n have_v never_o threaten_v in_o the_o word_n before_o god_n have_v never_o threaten_v the_o priest_n and_o say_v if_o you_o offer_v strange_a fire_n you_o shall_v be_v consume_v by_o fire_n but_o yet_o god_n smite_v they_o with_o death_n by_o fire_n they_o have_v not_o time_n to_o seek_v god_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v as_o to_o say_v lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o they_o have_v no_o time_n to_o

too_o for_o moses_n be_v their_o uncle_n and_o aaron_n their_o father_n they_o can_v not_o but_o be_v exceed_o much_a grieve_v but_o moses_n be_v the_o brother_n of_o aaron_n see_v his_o spirit_n no_o

child_n moses_n come_v and_o speak_v comfortable_o to_o he_o and_o labour_n to_o support_v his_o spirit_n and_o how_o do_v he_o do_v it_o he_o come_v not_o as_o ordinary_o you_o use_v to_o visit_v your_o brethren_n oh_o you_o must_v be_v content_a with_o this_o no_o but_o he_o come_v and_o apply_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o show_v how_o god_n must_v be_v sanctify_v and_o by_o that_o he_o come_v to_o quiet_a the_o heart_n of_o his_o brother_n aaron_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v say_v moses_n he_o seek_v to_o stay_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o brother_n with_o that_o which_o god_n speak_v but_o where_o do_v we_o find_v that_o god_n speak_v this_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o find_v in_o any_o scripture_n these_o very_a word_n in_o ter_z minis_fw-la before_o this_o time_n and_o therefore_o augustin_n think_v it_o be_v only_o the_o word_n god_n speak_v but_o not_o write_v and_o so_o they_o have_v it_o from_o hand_n to_o hand_n by_o tradition_n as_o many_o other_o thing_n as_o the_o prophecy_n of_o enoch_n that_o the_o apostle_n judas_n speak_v of_o you_o do_v not_o find_v it_o write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o it_o so_o that_o indeed_o it_o be_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n yea_o and_o we_o find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n when_o paul_n speak_v of_o a_o thing_n that_o christ_n shall_v say_v how_o that_o our_o lord_n say_v it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v then_o to_o receive_v you_o find_v it_o not_o record_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o christ_n say_v so_o so_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n say_v though_o it_o be_v not_o write_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o genesis_n to_o this_o very_a place_n or_o otherwise_o though_o it_o be_v not_o record_v in_o express_a term_n yet_o something_o be_v record_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o effect_v and_o so_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v reference_n to_o that_o scripture_n exod._n 29._o 43._o there_o we_o have_v a_o scripture_n come_v as_o near_o to_o it_o as_o any_o i_o know_v and_o there_o will_v i_o meet_v with_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o tabernacle_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v by_o my_o glory_n that_o be_v as_o much_o in_o effect_n as_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o come_v nigh_o i_o in_o those_o that_o come_v to_o worship_n i_o in_o my_o tabernacle_n i_o will_v be_v

same_o that_o you_o have_v in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n hallow_a be_v thy_o name_n only_o that_o be_v the_o greek_a word_n and_o this_o be_v the_o hebrew_n but_o if_o you_o will_v translate_v this_o word_n into_o greek_a you_o must_v translate_v it_o by_o the_o same_o word_n that_o christ_n speak_v when_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n to_o pray_v hallow_v be_v thy_o name_n hallow_a and_o sanctified_a be_v all_o one_o lord_n let_v thy_o name_n appear_v to_o be_v holy_a so_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v i_o will_v have_v my_o name_n appear_v to_o be_v holy_a i_o will_v be_v make_v know_v unto_o my_o people_n and_o to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o i_o be_o a_o holy_a god_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v i_o will_v be_v know_v to_o all_o the_o

account_v it_o to_o be_v my_o glory_n that_o i_o shall_v be_v manifest_v to_o be_v holy_a before_o all_o the_o world_n i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v i_o will_v have_v my_o people_n to_o

will_v be_v sanctify_v by_o they_o or_o otherwise_o if_o they_o shall_v not_o in_o a_o active_a way_n sanctify_v my_o name_n that_o be_v if_o they_o shall_v not_o demean_v themselves_o so_o as_o to_o hold_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o my_o holiness_n than_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v upon_o they_o i_o will_v demean_v and_o carry_v myself_o towards_o they_o so_o as_o by_o my_o action_n upon_o they_o i_o will_v make_v it_o appear_v what_o a_o holy_a god_n i_o be_o so_o god_n be_v sanctify_v two_o way_n either_o by_o the_o holiness_n of_o his_o people_n in_o their_o carriage_n towards_o he_o hold_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n holiness_n and_o so_o in_o that_o 1._o pet._n 3._o 15._o sanctify_v the_o lord_n god_n in_o your_o heart_n the_o saint_n do_v sanctify_v god_n in_o their_o heart_n when_o they_o fear_v god_n as_o a_o holy_a god_n and_o reverence_n he_o and_o love_n he_o as_o a_o holy_a god_n and_o so_o sanctify_v he_o in_o their_o life_n when_o their_o life_n do_v hold_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n holiness_n than_o god_n be_v sanctify_v put_v then_o if_o we_o do_v not_o do_v so_o then_o god_n sanctify_v himself_o that_o be_v in_o way_n of_o judgement_n upon_o those_o that_o do_v not_o in_o way_n of_o holiness_n sanctify_v his_o name_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v it_o ezek._n 28._o 22._o and_o say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n behold_v i_o be_o against_o thou_o o_o zidon_n &_o i_o will_v be_v glorify_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o thou_o and_o they_o shall_v know_v that_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n when_o i_o shall_v have_v execute_v judgement_n in_o she_o and_o

know_v i_o when_o i_o shall_v be_v sanctify_v in_o thou_o o_o gog_n before_o their_o eye_n and_o in_o the_o 23._o ver_fw-la thus_o will_v i_o magnify_v myself_o and_o sanctify_v myself_o and_o i_o

do_v approach_v to_o god_n ezek._n 42._o 13._o they_o approach_v to_o god_n especial_o but_o it_o be_v mean_v general_o of_o all_o those_o that_o shall_v have_v to_o deal_v in_o my_o worship_n whosoever_o shall_v come_v to_o worship_v i_o let_v they_o look_v to_o it_o they_o must_v sanctify_v my_o name_n they_o must_v so_o demean_v themselves_o in_o my_o worship_n as_o to_o hold_v forth_o my_o name_n to_o be_v holy_a or_o otherwise_o i_o will_v manifest_v myself_o against_o they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o judgement_n for_o i_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o holy_a god_n i_o will_v have_v the_o glory_n of_o my_o holiness_n one_o way_n or_o other_o say_v god_n in_o those_o that_o come_v near_o i_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v say_v though_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o man_n they_o indeed_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o favour_v those_o that_o be_v near_o they_o but_o i_o will_v not_o do_v so_o man_n will_v soon_o pass_v by_o the_o offence_n of_o those_o that_o be_v near_o they_o then_o those_o that_o be_v not_o as_o suppose_v that_o a_o stranger_n commit_v a_o offence_n you_o will_v be_v severe_a towards_o he_o but_o suppose_v it_o be_v one_o of_o your_o own_o child_n or_o kinsman_n what_o will_v you_o do_v then_o do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o man_n will_v rather_o favour_v their_o own_o kindred_n than_o stranger_n though_o the_o offence_n be_v the_o same_o but_o i_o will_v not_o do_v so_o say_v god_n suppose_v it_o be_v one_o of_o your_o own_o family_n will_v not_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o excuse_v they_o suppose_v it_o be_v your_o own_o child_n that_o shall_v commit_v such_o a_o offence_n oh_o what_o friend_n will_v you_o make_v to_o take_v he_o off_o from_o punishment_n though_o man_n will_v do_v so_o towards_o their_o own_o yet_o be_v bitter_a and_o severe_a towards_o stranger_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o say_v god_n let_v those_o that_o be_v near_o i_o look_v to_o it_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v by_o they_o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o draw_v near_o i_o now_o upon_o this_o when_o moses_n say_v thus_o that_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o draw_v near_o he_o this_o be_v moses_n scope_n to_o aaron_n as_o if_o moses_n shall_v say_v aaron_n though_o i_o confess_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v heavy_a upon_o you_o this_o day_n yet_o it_o be_v fit_a for_o you_o to_o submit_v to_o god_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v what_o ever_o become_v of_o you_o you_o be_v dear_a to_o god_n but_o god_n name_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o than_o you_o be_v what_o ever_o the_o life_n of_o your_o son_n be_v yet_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v honour_v and_o his_o name_n sanctify_v what_o ever_o become_v of_o your_o son_n or_o of_o your_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o let_v your_o heart_n be_v quiet_v you_o have_v have_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o affliction_n upon_o you_o but_o god_n have_v have_v glory_n god_n have_v glorify_v himself_o how_o have_v god_n glorify_v himself_o very_o much_o by_o this_o way_n for_o god_n by_o this_o way_n have_v do_v a_o act_n to_o make_v all_o the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n fear_v before_o he_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o worship_n he_o with_o all_o

will_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o appear_v before_o this_o holy_a god_n we_o have_v need_n take_v heed_n how_o we_o appear_v in_o his_o presence_n and_o worship_n he_o according_a to_o the_o way_n that_o he_o himself_o will_v be_v worship_v as_o if_o moses_n shall_v say_v this_o honour_n that_o god_n have_v by_o this_o mean_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n it_o be_v that_o that_o you_o shall_v account_v a_o great_a good_a than_o the_o life_n of_o your_o child_n what_o ever_o they_o be_v this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o moses_n speech_n to_o aaron_n now_o upon_o this_o the_o text_n say_v aaron_n hold_v his_o peace_n he_o be_v silence_v it_o may_v be_v before_o he_o be_v express_v himself_o in_o grief_n and_o sorrow_v exceed_v much_o in_o word_n but_o now_o he_o be_v quiet_a and_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v he_o do_v by_o his_o silence_n acknowledge_v his_o child_n be_v dear_a to_o he_o but_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v what_o ever_o become_v of_o

spirit_n a_o silence_n in_o the_o very_a heart_n and_o stay_v of_o it_o a_o stay_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n i_o find_v the_o same_o word_n to_o be_v use_v in_o scripture_n when_o joshua_n say_v to_o the_o sun_n si_fw-mi and_o still_o stay_v thyself_o on_o gibeon_n jos_n 10._o 12._o it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v here_o translate_v and_o aaron_n hold_v his_o peace_n that_o be_v he_o be_v stay_v from_o further_a vex_v or_o trouble_v of_o himself_o or_o be_v disquiet_v whereas_o his_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o strong_a violent_a motion_n now_o moses_n speech_n do_v stop_v he_o and_o give_v a_o stop_n to_o his_o heart_n to_o make_v it_o stand_v still_o in_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n as_o the_o sun_n when_o joshua_n speak_v to_o it_o to_o stand_v still_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v speak_v to_o his_o heart_n aaron_n thy_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o mighty_a strong_a motion_n but_o consider_v that_o i_o must_v be_v sanctify_v in_o those_o that_o draw_v nigh_o i_o and_o let_v all_o those_o motion_n of_o thy_o heart_n be_v stop_v and_o quiet_a thus_o now_o you_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o now_o in_o this_o scripture_n you_o have_v these_o three_o special_a and_o notable_a point_n 1_o that_o in_o worship_v of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o 2_o that_o when_o we_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o sanctify_v god_n name_n 3_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o our_o drawing_n nigh_o to_o he_o then_o certain_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n upon_o we_o these_o be_v the_o three_o point_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o handle_v and_o especial_o the_o second_o to_o handle_v large_o among_o you_o i_o confess_v upon_o another_o occasion_n in_o one_o sermon_n i_o have_v speak_v out_o of_o these_o word_n but_o now_o i_o intend_v not_o only_o in_o general_n to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o worship_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o particular_a act_n of_o worship_n as_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o prayer_n in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o several_a chief_a part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n how_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v for_o in_o all_o these_o you_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o for_o that_o end_n i_o have_v pitch_v my_o thought_n upon_o this_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o these_o three_o great_a point_n that_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n in_o the_o word_n read_v unto_o you_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o divers_a other_o note_n of_o observation_n that_o lie_v up_o and_o down_o as_o it_o be_v scatter_v that_o be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o will_v help_v we_o

you_o can_v for_o the_o attain_n of_o that_o grace_n and_o then_o beside_o in_o prayer_n there_o be_v much_o profession_n unto_o god_n of_o our_o sincerity_n and_o uprightness_n and_o of_o our_o
