fruit_n grain_n or_o seed_n will_v answer_v the_o ravenous_a appetite_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o it_o require_v blood_n which_o be_v the_o high_a life_n in_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o can_v

this_o may_v be_v illustrate_v in_o every_o particular_a man_n when_o he_o do_v suffer_v the_o fierce_a wrath_n and_o fire_n to_o burn_v in_o he_o he_o become_v like_o a_o rage_a bedlam_n nothing_o

without_o doubt_v the_o original_a cause_n of_o kill_v of_o beast_n and_o offer_v they_o in_o sacrifice_n be_v to_o see_v whether_o it_o will_v have_v satisfy_v that_o fierce_a poisonous_a wrath_n which_o man_n have_v so_o terrible_o awaken_v by_o his_o violence_n and_o corrupt_v the_o whole_a whence_o the_o deluge_n proceed_v but_o after_o the_o flood_n which_o have_v so_o sweep_v away_o all_o

to_o make_v atonement_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n because_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n have_v both_o the_o near_a affinity_n to_o the_o original_a property_n of_o man_n life_n and_o also_o to_o the_o awaken_v wrath_n as_o well_o within_o as_o without_o he_o for_o man_n can_v kindle_v the_o wrath_n within_o themselves_o but_o they_o must_v do_v it_o without_o they_o also_o but_o ●●ill_o the_o

of_o mankind_n and_o therefore_o beside_o their_o daily_a sacrifice_n the_o high_a priest_n be_v once_o every_o year_n to_o go_v into_o the_o second_o tabernacle_n but_o not_o without_o blood_n

the_o holy_a of_o all_o be_v not_o manifest_a that_o be_v the_o holy_a and_o good_a love_n of_o god_n in_o his_o son_n be_v not_o know_v or_o manifest_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v

all_o sacrifice_n kill_v and_o blood_n of_o beast_n can_v not_o sufficient_o appease_v god_n wrath_n nor_o reconcile_v man_n unto_o god_n otherwise_o than_o as_o if_o one_o man_n kill_v another_o the_o blood_n of_o he_o that_o be_v slay_v do_v call_v for_o vengeance_n on_o the_o slayer_n but_o all_o this_o while_n the_o principle_n of_o god_n fierce_a wrath_n be_v by_o their_o violence_n and_o
