The second thing to explicate the first Branch. That one end or Use of Sacrifices, both among Jews and Gentiles, was to ratify peace between Man and Man, as truly as between God and Man: and that Christs Sacrifice holds an Analogy herein to other Sacrifices.

The second thing to explicate the first Branch. That one end or Use of Sacrifices, both among Jewes and Gentiles, was to ratifie peace betweene Man and Man, as truly as betweene God and Man: and that Christs Sacrifice holds an Analogie herein to other Sacrifices.

:87p. 30–31

This being cleared, I come to the second, the [Greek or Hebrew], namely to demonstrate how according to the Analogy of the ends, and use of sacrificing of old in the shadow, Christs Sacrifice was likewise intended and directed to make peace between Man and Man, Jew and Gentile, as truly and as genuinely as between God and Man. For the illustration ⟨p. 31⟩of this, we must know and consider, that of old Feuds or enmities between Man and Man, were removed and put to an end, by Sacrifice: and also leagues of amity and friendship even between Man and Man, were anciently ratified and confirmed, and Reconciliation established by Sacrifices: and as by Sacrifices so likewise AFTER Sacrifices, or over and beside Sacrifices, by eating and feasting together, and this both among Jews and Gentiles (of which latter, namely, that by eating together, friendship was sealed,¹ we shall have further use anon to confirm and explicate this very Notion in hand.) I say leagues of peace and friendship were used to be ratified by Sacrifices solemnly afore God: so to make such Covenants, a matter of Religion (to bind the stronglier:) and not to be merely the obligations of humane faith and honesty: even by this, that men did find them ratified in the presence of a Deity; which they worshipped as their God, by so solemn and Religious and Action; which did withal invocate from God a curse upon the infringers of that peace and friendship made thereby. This to have been their use, I am to clear.
