Whether we have injured them in their bodies, goods, or good name. Levit. 6. 4. the same day the sacrifice was to be offered, the same day must satisfaction be made. And where judgement is threatened, men refusing to satisfy the parties, God will not forgive, who is also offended: for God requireth confession, and man satisfaction.
Whether we haue iniured them in their bodies, goods, or good name. Leuit. 6. 4. the same day the sacrifice was to be offered, the same day must satisfaction be made. And where iudgement is threatned, men refusing to satisfie the parties, God will not forgiue, who is also offended: for God requireth confession, and man satisfaction.
