1. Nadab and Abihu was burned to ⟨p. 19⟩death with fire from Heaven, because they attempted to offer false fire upon God's Altar (Levit. 10.1, 2, 3.) And the reason rendered why they were so served, was, because God will be sanctified in them that come nigh him. To sanctify his Name, is to let him be thy dread and thy fear, and to do nothing in his worship but what is well-pleasing to him. But because these men had not grace to do this, therefore they died before the Lord.
