In the end of which prayer he saith, I will sacrifice with the voice of thanksgiving, 1and pay that I have vowed, that saving cometh of the Lord. For verily to confess out of the hart, that all benefits come of GOD, even out of the goodness of his mercy, and not deserving of our deeds, is the only sacrifice that pleaseth God. And to believe that all the Jews vowed in their Circumcision, as we in our Baptism. Which vow Jonah now being taught with experience, promiseth to pay. For those outward sacrifices of beasts, unto which Jonah had haply ascribed to much before, were but feeble, and childish things, and not ordained, that the works of them selves should be a service ⟨p. 29⟩unto the people, but to put them 2in remembrance of this inward sacrifice of thanks and of faith, to trust and believe in GOD the only Saviour: which signification when it was away, they were abominable and devilish Idolatry, and Image service: as our ceremonies and Sacraments are become now to all that trust and believe in the work of them, and are not taught the significations, to edify their souls with knowledge, and the doctrine of God.
In the end of which prayer he saith, I will sacrifice with the voyce of thankesgeuyng, 1and pay that I haue vowed, that sauyng commeth of the Lord. For verely to confesse out of the hart, that all benefites come of GOD, euen out of the goodnesse of his mercie, and not deseruing of our dedes, is the onely sacrifice that pleaseth God. And to beleue that all the Iewes vowed in their Circumcision, as we in our Baptisme. Whiche vowe Ionas now beyng taught with experience, promiseth to pay. For those outward sacrifices of beastes, vnto which Ionas had happely ascribed to much before, were but feble, and childish thinges, and not ordeined, that the workes of them selues should be a seruice ⟨p. 29⟩vnto the people, but to put them 2in remembraunce of this inward sacrifice of thankes and of faith, to trust and beleue in GOD the onely Sauiour: whiche signification when it was away, they were abhominable and deuilishe Idolatrie, and Image seruice: as our ceremonies and Sacramentes are become now to all that trust and beleue in the worke of them, and are not taught the significations, to edify their soules with knowledge, and the doctrine of God.
