To these cleansing sacrifices may also be added the sacrifices, whereby the 1bodily defilings, which were figures of the defilings of sin, were purified & cleansed: of which sort were the defilings of the seed, the eating and touching of unclean creatures, the Leprosy, and of the woman in childbed. All which Moses doth largely handle, from the 12. of Leviticus unto the 16. of the same. And in all this there is nothing else prefigured to the Church of God, but our natural corruption and original wickedness, with the free cleansing of the same by the grace of God in the blood of Christ our Saviour. With these we may also number the sacrifice of jealousy: which is thoroughly treated of in the 5. Chapter of 2Numeri: although the manner and order thereof seemeth rather to belong unto the Judicial laws of God.
