1. We read in the Old Testament, of the many Sacrifices which were offered up unto God, for the appeasing of his wrath, and the procuring remission for mens sins, all which of themselves could not in the least attain that end, for the Apostle telleth us plainly, Heb. 10. 4. that it was not possible that the blood of Bulls and Goats should take away sin; but these Sacrifices did typically refer unto the Sacrifice, which Christ should offer of himself unto God, whereby satisfaction should be made unto God, and remission obtained for men.
