XI. This Burnt-Offering was called a sweet Savour unto the Lord, which in Christ's Death is solely and only accomplished; for 'tis thereby God's Wrath is appeased, and his Justice satisfied.
XII. The Ashes were to be carried without the Host, and put into a clean Place; shadowing thereby, how Christ should be buried without the Gates of Jerusalem, in a Tomb wherein never Man lay, and that his Body should not see Corruption.
XIII. The Fire which consumed the Burnt-Offering came down from Heaven; signifying, that that Wrath which seized on Jesus Christ in the Garden, and on the Cross, came from Heaven, or that it was God's Wrath, due to us for our Sins, that consumed him.

XIV. This Fire was to be continually upon the Altar, signifying the Unchangeableness of Christ's Love to his Elect, and rec•nt Virtue of his Death and Merits.
