2. Of the Sacrificer. The life a•d soul of a Sacrifice, is not the outward action, but the inward affection of the Heart. Mens cuiusque, is est quisque: As the Mind is, so is the Man: as the Man is, so is his Sacrifice. If we bring our Sheep to Gods Altar, and them alone; we had as good have left them behind us, as an unprofitable Carriage. 1Wherewith shall I come before the Lord? With burnt offerings, and Calves of a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams, or with ten thousand rivers of Oil? Shall I give my first borne for my transgression, the ⟨p. 21⟩fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? No, learn an other Oblation. God hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth he require of thee, but to Do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
