1Here we see that every Christian is an high Priest, for first he offereth up and killeth his own reason, and the wisdom of the flesh. Then he giveth glory to God, that he is righteous, true, patient, pitiful,2 and merciful.. And this is that daily sacrifice of the new testament which must be offered evening and morning. The evening sacrifice is to kill reason. The morning sacrifice is to glorify God. Thus a Christian daily and continually is occupied in this double sacrifice and in the exercise thereof. And no man is able to set forth sufficiently the excellency and dignity of this Christian sacrifice.
