Leviticus 4:12

Verse 12. With what is excrementitious, and in fact the whole unregenerate natural man, shall be separated from the heavenly life, the act of such separation being pure in itself, and coinciding with the removal of such things as have served their purposes And thus the merely natural good which claims merit for itself shall be vastated through self-love in the case of the wicked, and rejected through love to the Lord in the case of the spiritual man, because it is no longer a means of use.
