Excerpt from Isaiah Translated and Explained, Vol. 2: An Abridgement of the Author's Critical Commentary on Isaiah

It might easily be shown that the same corrective was provi ded by the Law itself in its occasional departure from its own requisitions as to time and place and the officiating person so that no analogy whatever really exists between the Levitical economy, even as expounded by itself, and the ritual systems which in later times have been so confidently built upon it. But the single instance which has been already cited will suffice to illustrate the extent of the perversion which at an early period had taken root among the Jews, as to the real nature and design of their ceremonial services. The natural effect of such an error on the spirit and the morals is too obvious in itself. And too explicitly recorded in the sacred-history, to require either proof or illustration.
