( IS) the fins of the World ? And what Sacrificing, or fatis- faCtory 'Life can it have, tobe offered without breaking, hurt, or death ? Is it a living, or dead Body of Chrift that you .offer ? Ifa living Body unhurt, it is none of the Sacrifice the Scripture mentioneth of Chrift: And how is' it propitiatory for fin ? If it be a deadBody, was it ever alive ?

Luke 18. 3 r, 32, 3 3, 34. and 24. 205 2 I.
