Sacrificing was a profession of their own guiltiness, submitting themselves to the Justice of God, as men worthy to die and be burnt, as that beast or other thing to be burnt, but withal of their hope that God would pardon them for his goodness sake through that true Sacrifice which was to come. And he that offered Sacrifice without this faith of Gods accepting him for his mercy sake, and without acknowledgement of his worthiness to perish, did not please God, and all our Sacrifices must be done in faith, now more distinct, because we have a fuller revelation, we must do all we do in faith, not alone a persuasion of the lawfulness of what we do, but also an endeavour to trust particularly for our acceptation both of persons and Sacrifices in Christ, not in the worthiness of our selves or of our works. He that hath this faith, he and his services shall please God, he that hath it not cannot please God whatsoever he doth. Let me therefore commend unto you the care of ⟨p. 33⟩searching into your hearts, whether you have this faith or no, viz. that you believe your selves in your selves to be miserable sinners, but confess that Christ Jesus is a perfect Saviour, and therefore even trust upon Gods mercy in him for grace and salvation.
