This day have they offered; they have done the substance of the thing, though they have mistaken this one circumstance. Such things have befallen me; whereby, having been oppressed with grief, and almost bereft of my reason, it is not strange nor unpardonable if I have mistaken. Should it have been accepted? because it was not to be eaten with sorrow, but with rejoicing and thanksgiving, as appears from Deuteronomy 12:7, Deuteronomy 26:14 Hosea 9:4; and I thought it fitter to burn it, as I did other sacred relics, than to profane it by eating it unworthily.
