The second kind of sacrifices was the oblation which they called Minha, 1a gift, reward, or sacrifice of a wheaten cake, and by another name was called a meat offering. This sacrifice was of the fruit of the earth, & was not offered always after one sort: for there are reckoned three kinds of this sacrifice. For there was offered either parched wheat, sticking in the ears, or wheat out of the ears, or else clean meal unbaked, or at least wise meal made up into bread, which bread again was made three sundry ways and in three sundry fashions. For either it was baked in an oven or furnace: or else sod in a pot or a caldron, or else fried in a frying pan like unto cakes. To these there was added, as sauce to the sacrifice, salt, oil & frankincense. Honey and leaven were by a general rule utterly barred from all sorts of sacrifices. For cakes made with honey were never allowed of, nor admitted in their offerings. Yet in the feast of thanks giving they did eat leavened bread.
