On NAAB and ABIHU

Were these the High-Priests Heirs, that did begin In Sacrifice to perpetrate a Sin So capital, so dreadful, to provoke Offended Justice, to inflict a Stroke So terrible, as to destroy at once Two of th' anointed Priests, the High-Priest's Sons, For offering Sacrifice; yea, Incense, when They hop'd to purchase Favour, but in vain? 'Tis not Presumption in the carnal Will, That finds Acceptance; nor can this fulfil The sacred Precepts of the highest King. But rather sad and dreadful Judgments bring Upon the Heads of them, whose Confidence In Self produceth such a bold Offence, As in an adding to the Law of God, To such he'll add his Plagues, his Iron Rod Shall sore afflict them. 'Tis his Word alone Must be the Law; in his beloved Son Is he well pleas'd; him only all should hear, And feel their Hearts abound with holy Fear; Not taught by carnal Precepts, Man's Tradition, Or a Self-will, but where a true Submission Is known; the Author of our Faith doth here, In th' humble Heart, beget true Son-like Fear: Such dare not pass the Limit of Command, Lest he say, Who requir'd it at your Hand? For he to whom, of his abundant Grace, The great Eternal One spoke Face to Face, Who knew what he requir'd, then testifi'd, Thus saith the Lord, I will be sanctifi'd By them that do approach me; for I, As with Refiner's Fire will purify The Sons of Levi. Therefore all in Fear, Must with a broken contrite Heart draw near To Israel's God; this is the Sacrifice Which he hath promis'd never to despise.
