After Aaron's Sons were consecrated to the Priestly Office, they coming to attend this their Office, the very first day after their consecration to offer Incense unto God, they ventured to offer incense with strange fire, with other fire then God had appointed ⟨p. 2⟩Upon that the fire of Gods wrath broke out upon them, and slew them both presently in the very Sanctuary before all the people, for it was a solemn time: being the beginning of the solemn Consecration of the Priesthood. Upon this the spirit of Aaron could not but be exceedingly troubled, to see his two Sons thus struck. Now Moses comes to him and saith, This is that which the Lord spake, I will be Sanctified in them that draw nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And upon this Aaron held his peace.
