He taketh away the first,— "In the forecited passage, by saying, Sacrifices, &c. thou wouldest not have, nor didst take any pleasure in them which are offered according to the law, and consequently were, in a sense, agreeable to the will of God, who required them, but not as expiatory: he adds, Then said I, Behold, I come to do thy will, O God! He abolisheth the former will and prescription of God concerning legal sacrifices, that he may establish the latter, concerning the sacrifice of himself, the great and all-sufficient propitiation; by the which latter will of God (Hebrews 10:10.) believers are cleansed from their guilt, through the offering once of the body of Jesus Christ."
