AR 277 - two altars

AR 277
. . . the principal worship in the Jewish and Israelitish church
consisted in sacrifices and incense;
wherefore there were two altars,
one for sacrifices and the other for incense;
the latter altar was within the tabernacle,
and was called the golden altar,
but the former was without the tabernacle,
and was called the altar of burnt-offering;
the reason was,
because there are two kinds of goods, from which all worship exists,
celestial good and spiritual good:
celestial good is the good of love to the Lord,
and spiritual good is the good of love towards the neighbor.
Worship by sacrifices was worship from celestial good,
and worship by incense was worship from spiritual good.
Whether you call it worship or confession, it is the same thing,
for all worship is confession.
