35. The Sinne-offering.
| 1. THe bloud of the sinne-offering | Shewing, how the bloud of Christ Iesus our true sinne-offering, behooued t… |
| (what beast so euer it were) was to be powred out. | be powred out and shed vponupon the Crosse. For without bloudshedding there was no reconciliation, Heb. 10. |
| 2. The Priest shall dip his finger in the bloud of the Bullock that is a sinne-offering, and sprinkle thereof seuen times before the Lord. | Shaddowing the perfection of that expiation, and satisfaction for sinne, which Christ should make, in the vertue, quality, and perpetuitie thereof (the number of seuen being the number of perfection.) Heb. 9. 26. |
| 3. The Priest shall bring in of the bloud of the Bullocke into the Tabernacle of the Congregation. | Shewing thereby, how the merit of Christs bloud should enter into the Holiest heauens to appease wrath, satisfie Iustice, and conciliate fauour, and bee a perfect purgation to his elect Church, Heb. 9. 14. |
| 4. Of the bloud, the Priest shall put some also vponupon the foure Hornes of the Altar. | Signifying thereby how the preaching of the Gospell, concerning the bloud of Christ, should bee published and proclaimed to the foure corners of the earth, Math. 28. |
| 5. And all the rest of the bloud shall be powred out at the foot of the Altar. | Figuring hereby, the aboundant shedding of the bloud of Christ, and super-aboundant merit thereof, Act. 22. 16. As likewise, that albeit it be so aboundant and sufficient for all, yet it is not efficient to all, but is improfitably powred out to many, through their owne contempt, and incredulous induration. |
| 6. All the fat vponupon the inwards was to be burnt, and offered to the Lord, | To shew that all the best we hauehave, euen our inwards of soule, heart, and best affections, we should offer vntounto the Lord, Psal. 16. 7. Rom. 12. 1. As also, that not onelyonly should the body of Christ suffer, but his soule likewise (like the fat in the inwards, which is the best part) as in his Agony and cry on the Crosse is euident, cited before. |
| 7. The rest of the whole Bullocke (typing so Christ in strength) shall bee carried out of the Host, and bee burnt vponupon the wood in the fire, where the ashes are cast out. | Signifying that euen so Christ Iesus should suffer without the gate in the place of dead mens skuls, and not in the Citie, Heb. 13. 11, 12. and teaching vsus thereby likewise to beare his reproch, going in affection out of this earthly citie of the world, and our body seeking a better, Heb. 13. 13. |
| 8. The Priest shall eate the sin-offering in the holy place, whose bloud was not brought into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, | Shewing that Christ Iesus in his Church is not onelyonly reconciliation, but also blessed foode for all those that are a holy and Royall Priesthood through him, Ioh. 6. |
| 9. If any of the bloud of the sinne-offering was dropped vponupon a garment, it might not be carried out so: but washed in the Holy place. | Signifying thereby, not only that holy things should not bee prophaned: but that without the Church also, there is no participation of the bloud of Christ, and so, no saluation, Ge. 5. Mar. 16. 15. Math. 7. 6. |
| 10. The earthen vessell wherein the sin-offering that was eaten, was sodden, it was broken: but if it was a Brazen pot, it was scowred and washed, | Expressing either the wonderfull pollution of sin, that so hardly can bee done away: or, that those who hauehave receiued recōciliation through Christ, ought not to giuegive themselues againe vntounto the world, but keepe themselues cleane and vndefiled of the wickednesse thereof, 2. Cor. 5. |
| 11. If a priuate person sinne, (and not the Priest, the Congregation or a Ruler) such a one shall offer a She-Goat, or a Female Lambe for a sinne-offering, | Yeelding thereby a cōfor… to all women, that for that Sexe Christ should dye as wel as for men, and by faith through Christ, that they should bee co-heires of his Kingdome, Gal. 3. 28. |
| 12. And if he were of the poorer sort, he should offer of Turtles or Pigeons (the signification whereof looke in the burnt-offering of Fowles,) or of fine Flowre, without putting Oyle or Incense thereto, for it is a sinne-offering. | Whereby was shaddowed, with Christ Iesus our sinne-offering, in the worke of satisfaction wee must ioyne nothing else, bee it neuer so plausible in mans conce…, 1. Cor. 3. |
| 13. And the Priest shall make Atonement, (still this is repeated.) | So euer signifying, that not in…hese sacrifices, but in the Priesthood was the matter, which typed Christ, his office of reconciliation and intercession, whereby onelyonly wee are accepted, Heb. 7. |
The Disparitie.
THese Sacrifices were of Beasts: but our Sacrifice was of the Sonne of God himselfe. These could neuer sanctifie the commers thereunto, Heb. 10. 1. but in them was a yeerely remembrance of sinnes: ver. 3. but our Sacrifice Christ Iesus, sanctifieth all those that by a true Faith draw neere vntounto him, purging the conscience from dead workes, to serue the liuing Lord. For the bloud of those Sacrifices, such as Buls and Goates, could not take away sinnes: but by the bloud of Christ we hauehave full remission of them. These sacrifices were often offered, in token of their imperfection, and the similitudes of heauenly things were purified onelyonly with their bloud: but our Sacrifice was once onelyonly offered, in token of the perfection thereof, and by the same, as by a better sacrifice, were the heauenly things themselues purified and consecrate, Heb. 9. 23, 25.
