answer_v haggai_n and_o say_v so_o be_v this_o people_n and_o so_o be_v this_o nation_n before_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o be_v every_o work_n of_o their_o hand_n and_o that_o which_o they_o offer_v there_o be_v unclean_a this_o second_o sermon_n be_v deliver_v two_o month_n after_o the_o former_a when_o now_o have_v prepare_v material_n as_o ch_z 1.8_o and_o fit_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o space_n of_o three_o month_n ch_n 1.14_o 15._o they_o be_v ready_a to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o temple_n or_o at_o least_o to_o build_v on_o the_o old_a foundation_n that_o have_v be_v lay_v at_o their_o first_o return_v ezra_n 3._o in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v not_o demolish_v as_o appear_v here_o from_o v._o 15._o and_o 18._o and_o the_o scope_n of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o sermon_n be_v from_o rule_v and_o clear_a case_n in_o the_o law_n which_o the_o priest_n can_v resolve_v unto_o they_o to_o discover_v their_o former_a sin_n for_o which_o god_n have_v punish_v they_o while_o they_o rest_v upon_o their_o building_n the_o altar_n ezra_n 3.2_o and_o offer_v sacrifice_n on_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n do_v follow_v their_o own_o interest_n neglect_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o do_v the_o work_n they_o be_v now_o about_o pure_o and_o to_o join_v personal_a reformation_n with_o it_o in_o sum_n it_o be_v as_o if_o haggai_n have_v say_v as_o your_o ordinary_a priest_n will_v out_o of_o the_o law_n resolve_v you_o that_o however_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v consecrate_v to_o god_n and_o now_o holy_a put_v some_o ceremonial_a holiness_n on_o the_o garment_n which_o immediate_o touch_v they_o leu._n 6.27_o yet_o that_o holiness_n can_v be_v extend_v to_o any_o thing_n which_o the_o garment_n touch_v either_o of_o purpose_n or_o by_o chance_n and_o not_o the_o flesh_n immediate_o v_o 11_o 12._o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o ceremonial_a pollution_n do_v make_v not_o only_o a_o man_n garment_n unclean_a but_o whatsoever_o also_o whether_o common_a or_o sacred_a it_o touch_v v._o 13._o which_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o law_n leu._n 11.24_o and_o 15.4_o numb_a 9.10_o and_o 19.11_o 13._o so_o on_o the_o same_o ground_n do_v i_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n assure_v all_o of_o you_o who_o deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o my_o people_n that_o your_o former_a negligence_n can_v not_o be_v cleanse_v by_o your_o sacrifice_n but_o it_o rather_o pollute_v they_o as_o well_o as_o yourselves_o and_o your_o other_o work_n and_o that_o a_o present_a holy_a work_n will_v not_o sanctify_v profane_a worker_n but_o your_o profanity_n will_v rather_o pollute_v it_o as_o to_o you_o v._o 14._o doct._n 1._o all_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n concern_v ceremonial_a pollution_n be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o representation_n of_o the_o moral_a uncleanness_n of_o man_n which_o the_o sensible_a soul_n will_v find_v as_o difficult_a if_o not_o more_o to_o avoid_v as_o the_o jew_n find_v that_o while_o it_o put_v they_o to_o a_o perpetual_a affrightment_n and_o caution_n therefore_o haggai_n by_o the_o one_o points_z at_o the_o other_o as_o the_o substance_n and_o show_v that_o the_o same_o proportion_n hold_v in_o both_o 2._o it_o be_v a_o profitable_a way_n for_o effectual_a convince_a of_o sin_n to_o make_v use_n of_o any_o principle_n of_o light_n that_o be_v in_o man_n and_o by_o they_o to_o draw_v conclusion_n upon_o the_o conscience_n so_o do_v haggai_n make_v use_n of_o acknowledge_v and_o rule_v case_n from_o which_o he_o infer_v a_o guilt_n upon_o they_o which_o they_o do_v not_o so_o clear_o see_v 3._o as_o the_o lip_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v to_o preserve_v knowledge_n and_o they_o be_v to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o by_o his_o people_n in_o resolution_n of_o difficulty_n so_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v on_o as_o infallible_a guide_n as_o if_o every_o thing_n they_o say_v they_o can_v not_o err_v in_o it_o but_o they_o be_v to_o speak_v from_o the_o word_n and_o their_o doctrine_n to_o be_v examine_v by_o it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n that_o we_o ask_v the_o priest_n concern_v the_o law_n 4._o such_o as_o right_o examine_v themselves_o will_v easy_o perceive_v the_o great_a difficulty_n there_o be_v of_o good_a in_o comparison_n of_o ill_a and_o how_o they_o be_v far_o more_o easy_o pollute_v then_o sanctify_v so_o much_o do_v both_o case_n hold_v out_o that_o holiness_n extend_v no_o further_o at_o best_a then_o the_o garment_n which_o immediate_o touch_v the_o holy_a thing_n but_o pollution_n reach_v further_a 5._o external_n performance_n whether_o of_o god_n worship_n or_o in_o his_o public_a work_n will_v not_o of_o itself_o make_v a_o man_n acceptable_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a want_v of_o personal_a reconciliation_n and_o purity_n will_v pollute_v best_a work_n will_v render_v the_o worker_n contemptible_a and_o all_o they_o do_v vile_a so_o do_v the_o lord_n teach_v we_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o former_a and_o present_a pollution_n so_o to_o wit_n unclean_a be_v this_o nation_n before_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o so_o be_v every_o work_n of_o their_o hand_n and_o that_o which_o they_o offer_v there_o be_v unclean_a 6_o it_o be_v a_o profitable_a study_n when_o people_n be_v about_o work_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o right_a to_o be_v sensible_a not_o only_o of_o former_a fail_n and_o neglect_n but_o of_o present_a uncleanness_n which_o they_o may_v contract_v in_o they_o and_o for_o this_o end_n to_o search_v what_o they_o be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o not_o delude_v nor_o please_v themselves_o with_o the_o bare_a work_n for_o this_o end_n come_v this_o sermon_n out_o that_o same_o day_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o build_v that_o they_o may_v not_o so_o soon_o forget_v their_o former_a way_n nor_o be_v unmindful_a that_o there_o be_v more_o require_v for_o
