And the words declare there had been some charge given, This is that the Lord said, so that there was some charge. But where was it? We read not of it here. Some say it was spoken, but not written; and this they would have to countenance their unwritten traditions. Some will have it, in Exo. 19.22. Let the Priests sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break in upon them. Others will have it in Levit. 8.35, 36. Keep the Lord's charge that you die not. Calvin will not have it referred to any particular place, but a general charge, given at divers times; and now the present occasion brings it forth to particular application, to which I assent. 3. We have the words ⟨p. 4⟩themselves, I will be sanctified. Why, what is that? Can God be sanctified of us? Indeed he sanctifies us, but how can we sanctify him?
