Now these many and sundry sacrifices appointed for sins were 1kept uncertainly, because they were wont to be offered of them that sinned at that very time when they did commit the sin: but the certain, •he yearly and universal sacrifice was that, which is at large described in the […] of Loviti•us: and may be referred in this place to the number ⟨p. 372⟩of cleansing sacrifices. For in the feast of atonement upon the tenth day of the seventh month every year was solemnized the sacrifice of cleansing or atonement for all the sins universally of all the people. The manner of this general sacrifice I will not over busily at this time describe, since it is as clearly as the light set down in that place of Leviticus which even now I cited, and since I in expounding the mystery thereof do mean to show and make plain so many shadows in it, as are needful to be marked. For I will say somewhat touching the meaning and mystery thereof.
