the Father
?
certainly,
except
thou
doff fo,
all
thy Sacrifices
are call
out
as
dung and filth in
thy face, and
are an
abomination unto
God.
M
in the time
of
the
Law
we
know,
let
a
man
offer
never
fo
good
a
Bullock, or
Sheep, though they were worth
never
fo
much,
yet
if
hee
did not
offer
them
by
the Prieft,,
we
know they
were
abomination
unto God
:
fo
our
fervi-
ces are
as
our Sacrifices , and they
mull
be offered up
unto
God
by
this
otir High
Prieft
;
and in
this
Jefus Chrifi
is
wonderful
in
his
Prief
+ly
Office, for
by
verrue of
that
Sa-
crifice
of
his
that
he offered
to the Father,
all
the
Sacrifi-
ces of all
the
dal
ones are
tendered
up
to the Father,
and
fo
come
to
be
accepted
;
And then doe wee exercife our
faith upon Chrift
aright,
when we can look
upon
our High
Prieft, and
tender
up our Sacrifices
by
faith unto the
Fa-
ther
through
him, To
beleeve
in Chrift
is
to
have
thy faith
as
upon
Chrift in
his
feveral
Offices. Oh
what ftrangers
are
molt
unto
die glory of Jefus Chrifl
?
what
little
glory
hath
Chrift
from
you,
when
you
underftand
him
nor
in
thofe
things
that
are
his
glory
?
or
you
that
doe underftand him,
eh
but
how
feldome
bath your faith a6ted upon
him,
accor-
ding
as
bee bath been
fet out
unto
you
in
thofe feveral.
things
?
The
Prophcric1
Office
of
aril!,
Chrifi
is
wonderful in
his
Prophetical Office;
I
will
but
name
one
or
two particulars about
that,
which
is
exceeding
comfortable.
Firft,
a
wonderful Prophet he mull needs be,
for hee
is
one
that
knowes all
the minde of
God
the Father
perfealy,
which
certainly all the Creatures
in
the world
doe
not
;
take
all
the
Angels
in
Heaven, and Men
in
the World,
and
they know not all
that
is
in the
heart of God the
,
Father.
Now
Chrift
he knows
all
that
is
in
the
very heart of
the
Father,
and whatfoever
the
Father doth,
Jefus
Chrift
knows
it
;
