EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THe Priests under the Law daily offered Sacrifices ; but Christ our High Priest need not daily , as those Priests , offer Sacrifice for his own Sin , and then for the Peoples , ( Heb. 7.16 , 28. ) For Christ did once offer up himself , who is made , not after the Law of a carnal Commandment , but after the power of an endless Life , who is set down at the Right-hand of God , and so cannot be offered as an Offering and Sacrifice any more , who abolished the changeable Priest-hood , with all its Offerings and Sacrifices , by the Sacrifice and Offering of himself once for all . And so it is said , I am come to do the will of God ; to take away the first , namely Priest-hood and Covenant-Offerings , and establish the Second , by the which Will we are Sanctified through the Offering of the Body of Jesus , ( Mark ) Christs Body is offered up once for all , Heb. 9.10 . And so Christ is Entered into Heaven it self , not that he should offer himself often , as the High-Priests did , for then must Christ often have Suffered , but he hath put away Sin by the Sacrifice of himself once for all ; so Christ was once offered to bear the Sins of many , and unto them that look for him , shall he appear the Second time without Sin unto Salvation , as in Heb. 9.25 , 26 , 28. So here you may see Christ is not often offered up as a Sacrifice , or an Offering for the Sins of the whole World , then had he often Suffered : But after Christ had offered up one Sacrifice for Sins for ever , he sat down at the Right-hand of God ; And by this one Offering Christ hath Perfected forever them that are Sanctified . So here you may see , it is one Offering , and one Sacrifice , once for all , not offering Christ many times , nor often . And in Hebrews , 12.12 , 14. The Priests under the Law , they offered Offerings , but Christ offered up himself , who had power to lay down his Life , and take it again , so it was not Priests that offered Christ up ; for after Christ had offered up one Sacrifice and one Offering for Sins , by which Offering and Sacrifice He perfected forever them that are Sanctified , and sat down at the Right-hand of God , who ever Lives to make Intercession for his People . And Christ saith , Offerings and Sacrifices thou wouldest not , but a Body hast thou prepared me , to do thy Will ; by the which Will we are Sanctified through the offering up of the Body of Jesus Christ once for all , as before , and so he did not often offer up his Body as a Sacrifice for all , for then must he often have Suffered , as before ; but now once ( mark once ) hath he appeared to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of himself , and not by offering or sacrificing of himself often ; for as it is said , Christ having somewhat to offer , that is , he offered up himself , his Body , once for all Sins , and the daily sacrifice , and made an end of the daily Sacrifices , as in Dan. 9. Wherein you may see he caused the daily Sacrifices and Oblations to cease , when he was cut off , not for himself , but for the People , who by one Offering and Sacrifice of himself , ended the daily Offerings and Sacrifices . And therefore all are to look unto him the one Offering and Sacrifice once for all . David saith , The Sacrifices of God are a broken Spirit , and a broken and contrite Heart , and these are the Sacrifices That God will not dispise , Psal . 51 . 1● . And David said , Let my Prayer be set before thee as Incense ( mark as Incense ) and the Lifting up of my Hands as the evening Sacrifice ( mark as the Evening Sacrifice ) Now here you may see , David saw beyond the outward Offerings and Sacrifices , for he desires that his Prayer might be as Incense , and his lifting up hands as the Evening Sacrifice , Psal . 141.2 . And Solomon saith , That the Sacrifice of the Wicked is an abomination to the Lord ; but the Prayers of the Vpright-hearted is his Delight , Prov. 15.8 . Here you may see , you that are Wicked , your Prayers and Sacrifices are not accepted , And to do Justice and Judgment is more acceptable to the Lord then outward Sacrifices , Prov. 21.3 . So here you may see , it is not offering Sacrifice only with a company of words , nor outward things , but a practizing Judgment and Justice . And Christ saith to the outward Jews , that were in their outward Offerings and Sacrifices , and their long Prayers ; Christ said unto them , I will have Mercy and not Sacrifice , and bid them go learn what that meaneth : For the Lord said , I desired Mercy , and not Sacrifice , and the knowledg of God more then burnt Offerings , Mat. 9.13 . Hos . 6.6 . So here you may see Mercy and the knowledg of God is beyond outward Offerings and Sacrifices . For as the Apostle saith , Christ hath Loved us , and hath given himself an Offering and Sacrifice for us to God , for a sweet smelling Savour , Ephe. 5.2 . So you may see Christ hath given himself an Offering and Sacrifice for us to God , and the Saints now do not offer up Christ , who hath already offered up himself ( mark himself ) but they are to present their Bodies a Living Sacrifice , holy acceptable to God , which is their reasonable Service . This the Apostle writ to the Church of Christ the Romans , which same is the Duty of all Christians . And the Apostle saith to the Church of Christ the Hebrews , by him ( namely Christ ) Let us offer the Sacrifice of praise to God Continually , that is the fruit of our Lips , giving thanks unto his Name , and do good and Communicate , for with such Sacrifices God is well pleased : For even Christ our Passover is Sacrificed for us , as in 1 Cor. 5.7 . And Peter , in his General Epistle , told the Church of Christ , that they were built up A Spiritual Houshold , a holy Royal Priest-hood , to offer up Spiritual Sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ , ( mark by Jesus Christ to God. ) Now all the true Christians are a Royal Priest-hood , and a spiritual Houshold , and with the Spirit they are to offer up spiritual Sacrifices ; these are they that are accepteble to God by Jesus Christ in the new Testament and new Covenant ; so the Apostle did not say they should offer up Jesus Christ , but Offered Sacrifice to God by Jesus Christ ; for Christ had offered up himself once for all . And you may see how the Jewes , when they forsook the Lord , they joyned themselves to Baal Peor , and did Eat the Sacrifice of the Dead , which was forbidden of the Lord , and provoked him to Anger , that his Plague broke out upon them , as in Psal . 106.28 , 29.
