5. Without Sanctification all our holy things are defiled, 1 Tit. 1.15. Unto them that are defiled is nothing pure. Under the Law, if a Man who was Unclean by a dead Body, had carried a piece of holy Flesh in his Skirt, the holy Flesh had not cleansed him, but he had polluted that, Hag. 1.12, 13. An Emblem of a Sinners polluting ⟨p. 142⟩his holy Offering. A foul Stomach turns the best Food into ill Humours: An unsanctified Heart pollutes Prayers, Alms, Sacraments; this evinceth the necessity of Sanctification. Sanctification makes our holy things accepted; an holy Heart is the Altar which sanctifies the Offering; his Duties tho' they are not to Satisfaction, yet to Acceptation.
