of_o a_o real_a and_o most_o complete_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n now_o to_o make_v both_o a_o true_a and_o perfect_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n there_o be_v five_o thing_n indispensible_o necessary_a first_o that_o in_o be_v sacrifice_v it_o shall_v be_v substitute_v in_o the_o room_n of_o a_o offender_n to_o be_v punish_v for_o he_o in_o order_n to_o his_o be_v release_v from_o his_o own_o

his_o own_o person_n second_o another_o necessary_a condition_n of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v pure_a sound_a and_o unblemished_a and_o indeed_o this_o condition_n be_v require_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n whether_o expiatory_a or_o eucharistical_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v pure_a or_o legal_o clean_a and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v sound_a and_o without_o

sin_n or_o immorality_n in_o they_o yet_o the_o prohibition_n of_o these_o natural_a blemish_n in_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v incapable_a of_o moral_a one_o denote_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o moral_a

lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o without_o spot_n 1_o pet._n 1.19_o three_o another_o necessary_a condition_n to_o a_o perfect_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o such_o a_o intrinsic_a worth_n and_o value_n as_o that_o its_o death_n may_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o equivalent_a commutation_n for_o the_o punishment_n which_o the_o offender_n deserve_v for_o the_o

it_o be_v high_o requisite_a that_o the_o punishment_n shall_v ordinary_o be_v equivalent_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o the_o crime_n otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n to_o warn_v and_o deter_v man_n from_o commit_v it_o and_o herein_o consist_v the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o ancient_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n that_o what_o they_o suffer_v be_v much_o short_a of_o what_o the_o offender_n they_o suffer_v for_o deserve_a for_o they_o only_o substitute_v the_o life_n of_o a_o brute_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v of_o far_o great_a worth_n and_o value_n and_o therefore_o by_o how_o much_o less_o valuable_a the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n be_v than_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n by_o so_o much_o less_o be_v the_o punishment_n transfer_v upon_o the_o sacrifice_n than_o the_o guilt_n contract_v by_o the_o offender_n four_o another_o necessary_a condition_n to_o the_o make_n of_o a_o true_a and_o perfect_a sacrifice_n be_v that_o it_o
