Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Ver. 13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, &c.?] q.d. Are you so thick brained as to think so?
Vervecum in patria, crassoque sub aere nati?
No; "He that killeth an ox" (unless he kill his corruptions too) "is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb" (unless he see his own guilt, and be carried out to the immaculate Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world) is "as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation" (unless therewith he offer up himself for a whole burnt sacrifice, Rom 12:1) is "as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense" (unless he lift up holy hands in prayer without wrath, and without doubting, 1Ti 2:8) is "as if he blessed an idol," Isaiah 66:3 .
