he_o name_v none_o of_o the_o 70._o elder_n but_o these_o two_o beside_o moses_n and_o aaron_n therefore_o these_o two_o that_o be_v consume_v by_o strange_a fire_n be_v renown_a man_n and_o new_o

command_v they_o not_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n but_o have_v god_n ever_o forbid_v it_o where_o do_v we_o find_v that_o ever_o god_n have_v forbid_v they_o to_o offer_v strange_a fire_n or_o appoint_v that_o they_o shall_v oner_o only_a one_o kind_a of_o fire_n there_o be_v no_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o you_o can_v find_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o genesis_n to_o this_o place_n where_o god_n have_v say_v in_o terminis_fw-la in_o so_o many_o word_n express_o you_o shall_v offer_v no_o fire_n but_o one_o kind_n of_o fire_n and_o yet_o here_o they_o be_v consume_v by_o fire_n from_o god_n for_o offer_v strange_a fire_n i_o find_v in_o the_o 30._o of_o exod._n ver_fw-la 9_o that_o there_o they_o be_v forbid_v offer_v strange_a incense_n but_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o they_o be_v forbid_v offer_v strange_a fire_n in_o levit._n 6.13_o and_o divers_a verse_n in_o that_o chapter_n we_o find_v that_o god_n have_v appoint_v that_o they_o shall_v keep_v constant_o the_o fire_n on_o the_o altar_n burn_v and_o never_o to_o let_v it_o go_v out_o now_o that_o be_v it_o seem_v god_n intention_n that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o that_o fire_n and_o that_o fire_n only_o god_n will_v have_v they_o to_o pick_v out_o his_o meaning_n god_n send_v fire_n down_o from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o altar_n so_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 9_o chap._n god_n send_v down_o fire_n from_o heaven_n &_o give_v they_o a_o charge_n to_o keep_v that_o fire_n on_o the_o altar_n constant_o and_o never_o to_o let_v it_o go_v out_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v god_n will_v have_v they_o pick_v out_o his_o meaning_n that_o because_o he_o have_v send_v down_o fire_n from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o altar_n and_o give_v they_o power_n to_o keep_v that_o constant_o god_n will_v have_v they_o therefore_o to_o understand_v that_o 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_fw-la 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 not_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 ver_fw-la come_v near_o carry_v away_o your_o brethren_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 promise_v amendment_n at_o all_o now_o upon_o this_o heavy_a judgement_n the_o heart_n of_o aaron_n can_v not_o possible_o but_o be_v very_o much_o trouble_v yea_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o moses_n 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 question_n exceed_o trouble_v be_v under_o such_o a_o sad_a affliction_n and_o that_o such_o a_o godly_a man_n even_o as_o aaron_n be_v shall_v have_v such_o a_o sad_a judgement_n befall_v his_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 terminis_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

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 whatever_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 faith_n 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 his_o child_n and_o therefore_o aaron_n hold_v his_o peace_n but_o the_o word_n that_o be_v here_o translate_v hold_v his_o peace_n it_o have_v more_o in_o it_o then_o mere_a silence_n for_o the_o hebrew_n have_v another_o word_n to_o signify_v mere_a silence_n of_o speech_n but_o this_o signify_v a_o stay_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o it_o do_v not_o further_o proceed_v in_o any_o trouble_n 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 stand_v still_o stay_v thyself_o on_o gibeon_n jos_n 10.12_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 ●eart_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_n 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 thoughe_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 further_a to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o scriture_n in_o the_o other_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o afterward_o and_o handle_v more_o large_o the_o first_o note_n be_v this_o that_o in_o god_n worship_n there_o must_v be_v nothing_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n but_o what_o he_o have_v command_v whatsoever_o we_o meddle_v with_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v what_o we_o have_v a_o warrant_n for_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o this_o speech_n of_o moses_n be_v upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o aaron_n son_n for_o offer_v strange_a fire_n they_o offer_v fire_n that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v hence_o i_o say_v that_o all_o thing_n in_o god_n worship_n must_v have_v a_o warrant_v out_o of_o god_n word_n must_v be_v command_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o forbid_v and_o what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o it_o but_o it_o must_v be_v command_v i_o confess_v in_o matter_n that_o be_v civil_a and_o natural_a there_o this_o may_v be_v enough_o if_o it_o be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o not_o forbid_v in_o the_o word_n we_o may_v make_v use_n of_o this_o in_o civil_a and_o natural_a thing_n but_o now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n we_o must_v either_o have_v a_o command_n or_o somewhat_o out_o of_o god_n word_n by_o some_o consequence_n draw_v from_o some_o command_n wherein_o god_n manifest_v his_o will_n either_o a_o direct_a command_n or_o by_o compare_v one_o thing_n with_o another_o or_o draw_v consequence_n plain_o from_o the_o word_n we_o must_v have_v a_o warrant_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n one_o will_v have_v think_v that_o these_o priest_n offer_v incense_n to_o the_o true_a god_n what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o take_v other_o fire_n but_o there_o be_v no_o command_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o accept_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v some_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o be_v natural_a and_o civil_a help_n and_o there_o we_o need_v not_o have_v any_o command_n as_o for_o instance_n when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n the_o congregation_n meet_v they_o must_v have_v a_o convenient_a place_n to_o keep_v the_o air_n and_o weather_n from_o they_o now_o this_o be_v but_o a_o natural_a help_n and_o so_o far_o as_o i_o use_v the_o place_n of_o worship_n as_o a_o natural_a help_n i_o need_v have_v no_o command_n but_o if_o i_o will_v put_v any_o thing_n in_o a_o place_n beyond_o what_o it_o have_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n there_o i_o must_v look_v for_o a_o command_n for_o if_o i_o account_v one_o place_n more_o holy_a than_o another_o or_o to_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v accept_v of_o worship_n in_o one_o place_n rather_o than_o in_o another_o this_o be_v to_o raise_v it_o above_o what_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n so_o that_o when_o any_o creature_n be_v raise_v in_o a_o religious_a way_n above_o what_o it_o have_v in_o it_o by_o nature_n if_o i_o have_v not_o scripture_n to_o warrant_v i_o i_o be_o therein_o superstitious_a it_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a rule_n for_o to_o help_v you_o if_o any_o creature_n that_o you_o make_v any_o use_n of_o in_o away_o of_o religion_n beyond_o what_o it_o have_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n if_o you_o have_v not_o some_o warrant_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whatsoever_o specious_a show_n there_o may_v be_v in_o it_o it_o be_v superstition_n as_o now_o for_o the_o place_n there_o be_v a_o place_n that_o be_v holy_a but_o than_o it_o have_v a_o institution_n from_o god_n and_o so_o for_o garment_n to_o use_v those_o that_o be_v decent_a the_o light_n of_o reason_n be_v enough_o but_o if_o i_o will_v put_v any_o thing_n upon_o
