0 As God daily by moste singular benefites declared him selfe to be mindful of his Church, so he wolde not that thei shulde haue anie occassion to trust ether in them selues, or to depend vpon others for lacke of temporal things, or oght that belonged to his diuine seruice and religion. Therefore he ordeined diuers kindes of oblations and sacrifices, to assure them of forgiuenes of their offenses (if thei offred them in true faith and obedience). Also he appointed their Priests and Leuites, their apparel, offices, conuersation and portion: he shewed what feasts thei shulde obserue, and in what times. Moreouer, he declared by their sacrifices & ceremonies that the rewarde of sinne is death, and that without the blood of Christ the innocent Lambe there can be no forgiuenes of sinnes. And because thei shulde giue no place to their owne inuentions (which thing God moste detesteth as appeareth by the terrible example of Nadab and Abihu) he prescribed euen to the least things, what thei shulde do, as what beastes thei shulde offre and eat: what diseases were contagious and to be auoyded: what ordre thei shulde take for all maner of filthines and pollution: whose companie thei shulde flee: what mariages were lauful: and what politike lawes were profitable. Which things declared he promised fauor and blessing to them that kept his Lawes, and threatened his curse to them that transgressed them.
