THE ARGVMENT OF LEVITICVS.
note
VVhen the Tabernacle was erected, nere to Mount Sinai,
the first day of the second yeare, after the children of Israel
parted from Ægypt, and was so replenished with Gods Maiestie,
that none, no not Moyses himself could enter in, our Lord speaking
from thence, called Moyses, and declared to him the offices of the Leuites;
whom only, and no others, he deputed for the administration, and charge
of sacred things: wherof this booke (wherin they are written) is called
Leuiticus. note In which saith S. Hieron, al and euerie Sacrifice, yea almost
euerie sillable, and Aarons vestments, and the whole Leuical
order breath forth heauenlie sacraments, or mysteries. For first
God here prescribeth what sacrifices he wil haue, in what manner, and to
what purposes. note Then what partes and qualities he requireth in Priests; how
they shal be vested and consecrated, seuerly punishing some that transgressed:
with commandment neither to offer in sacrifice, nor to eate things reputed
vncleane, and the maner of purifying such things, and persons, as by diuers
occasions were polluted: Interposing also some moral, and iudicial precepts;
appointeth certaine solemne feastes, times of rest, and Iubilie yeare. Finally
promiseth rewardes, and threatneth pumishments to those that kepe or breake
his commandments: with particular admonition touching vowes and
tithes. note So this booke may be diuided into fiue special partes. The first, of diuers
sortes of Sacrifices: in the seuen first chapters. The second, of consecrating
Priests, and their vestments, with punishment for offering strange fire. in the
three next chapters. The third, of distinction betwen cleane and vncleane,
with the maner of purifying certaine legal vncleanes, and other precepts moral
and iudicial. from the 11. chap. to the 23. The fourth, of feasts, times of
rest, and Iubilie with priuiledges, rewardes, and punishments. from the 23.
chap. to the 27. The fifth, of vowes, and tithes. in the last chapter.
