Quest. 21. v. 25. Of the Lords acceptance of Dauids sa∣crifice.

1. God shewed his acceptance, in that he answered Dauid in sending fire from hea∣uen: 1. Chron. 11.26. as Aarons sacrifice, Leuit. 9. was approoued by fire from heau••n: so also Gedeons by fire out of the rocke, Iudg. 6.21. and Helias sacrifice was set on fire from heauen, 1. King. 18.38. Mart. for otherwise it was not lawfull to vse any straunge fire, not taken from the Altar, as appeareth by the punishment of Nadab and Abihu, Leuit. 10.1. Genevens. 2. This sacrifice wa•• not acceptable in it selfe, but as it was a type of Christ, and offred by faith in him: it beeing also ioyned with the prai∣ers of Dauid, and of the rest of the people. In Christ then both our altar and sacrifice God is well pleased, by whom we are deliuered from euerlasting plagues, as now Isra∣el was from this temporall: To whom be ascribed all praise for euer. Amen.
