'l'hey eat up the Sin oftny People, that is, the Sacrifice, or Sin-offering, for Sin has a three-fold Acceptation. (1.) It lignifies the 'J'ranfgreflion of God's Law, 1 John iii. 4· ( 2.)

By which Words the Reajo11 of this tropical Speech, whereby Sin is taken for Sacrifice is noted; Illyricus fays, 'l'hefe Sacri– fices were fo called, becaufe the Sins of the People (with refpefl to Punifhmmt) were after a certain Manner by Imputation transferred upon them, not that the Verb iil!li1 fignifies to expiate, Cl.
