Chapter 48: XLVIII. Of the golden Censers belonging to the Temple.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
But there was besides these, true Censers, holy fire, and sweet Incense among the Worshippers in the Temple, and their service was accepted by Aaron their High Priest: For that was done thorough the faith of Christ, and these were a type of our true Gospel-Worshippers, who come ⟨p. 132⟩with holy hearts, the holy spirit, and holy desires before their God, by their Redeemer. These are a perfume in his Nose. The Prayer of the Upright is his delight. David's Prayers went up like Incense, and the lifting up of his hands, as the Evening Sacrifice, Pro. 15.8. Psal 141.2.

Let them then that pretend to worship before God in his holy Temple, look to it that both their Censers, Fire, and Incense: Heart, Spirit, and Desires, be such as the Word requires. Left instead of receiving of gracious returns from the God of Heaven, their Censers be laid up against them, left the fire of God devours them, and their Incense becomes an abomination to him, as it happened to those, made mention of before.
