These are but a few of the many Iniquities that are to be found in our holy things, Exod. 28.38. Its good we have a High Priest to bear them: O what if all our sins were reckoned, how heinous would they be? & what a sum will they come to, if our performances of holy duties have so many sins in them? and when the sins of a Sabbath are counted, how many will they be? hundreds of divers sorts, in praying; hearing, and praising; and multiply these to every loose thought, and every declining or wavering of the heart, how many times may they be multiplied? ah! how many unholy words do we let slip, and then consider all the Sabbaths and Sermons, Prayers and Praises we have had, how many hundred thousands will they ⟨p. 85⟩amount to? It is sad that men should lye under all these with few or no challenges, or without minding repentance, or thinking of the necessity of employing the High Priest for doing them away; therefore we should accept these challenges, & give Him employment who only can bear the Iniquity of our holy things. If this bring not down self Righteousn •ss, and convince you of the necessity of a Mediator, w •at will do it?
