§ 13 The matter of all these Sacrifices was of three sorts. 1. Beasts. 2. Fowls, or Birds. 3. Fruits of the earth; all accompanied with Salt and Incense. Of Beasts there were also three sorts designed to this use and service; one of the Herds, namely, Bullocks; and two of the Flocks; 1. Sheep, 2. Goats. Of Fowls or Birds, two sorts were used; 1. Turtles, 2. Pigeons, and it may be Sparrows, in the singular case of the sacrifice for the cleansing of the Leper, Levit. 14.4. In all of these (that is, of the Beasts) it was required that they should be, 1. Males, unless in the Sin and Trespass offering. 2. Without blemish. The fruits of the earth were of all sorts, useful to the life of man. And all these sacrifices from their general ends may be reduced unto three heads. For they were all of them either, 1. Propitiatory, as designed to make atonement for sins; or, 2. Euctical, to impetrate mercies from God; or, 3. Eucharistical, to return praises unto him.
