you do nothing without the ard to "monews" unt Bishop: For if any one does any thing without the Bi fhop, he does it to no pur pofe. For it will not be efteem'd as of any avail to him. For as Saul when he had offer'd without Samuel, * King. was told, It will not avail for thee; fo every Perfon among the Laity, doing any thing without the Prièft, labours in vain. And as Uzziah the King, who was not a Priest, and yet would exercife the Functions of the Priefts, was fmitten with Leprofie for his Tranfgreffion, fo every Lay-Perfon fhall not be unpunished who defpifes God, and is fo mad as to af front his Priests, and unjuftIy to fnatch that Honour to himself; not imitating Chrift, who glorify'd not himself to be made an High-Prieft; but waited till he heard from his Father, The Lord fware, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the aivan πáživ Meλ

You ought therefore, Brethren, to bring your Sacrifices and your Oblations to the Bilhop, as to your High-Prieft, either by your felves, or by the Deacons, and do you bring not thofe only, but also your Firstfruits, and your Tythes, and your Free-will Offerings to
