but for a vow] The lesser blemishes, as the lack of a tayl, (which in stinted sacrifices was not to be wanting, Exodus 29:22. Leviticus 8:25. Leviticus 9:19. and the like may be said of the eares) did not hinder the acceptation of a free-will-offering; but that which was offered by vow, was to be perfect, as that which was required by obligation of the law; which was to minde the offerer of the perfection of Christ, of whom the sacrifice was a figure; and of that perfection which every one was to presse after, as in imitation of him. Some take this exception to be onely of such blemishes, as were either excessive or defective in quantitie, for length or shortnesse, for greatnesse or smalnesse; but if there were an excesse on defect in the number of parts, as if a sheepe had more or fewer then foure legges, it was to be rejected as monstrously mis-shapen. And there be some who take this free-will-offering for a gift. for the use of the Priest, not to be sacrificed unto God; nor so tendered, as to be turned into money to buy somewhat which is fit to be presented in sacrifice to God. If that which was offered were in its owne kinde fit to be rejected.
