priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n must_v necessary_o be_v a_o natural_a man_n then_o that_o he_o must_v do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o people_n in_o thing_n appertein_v to_o god_n three_o that_o he_o must_v do_v it_o with_o some_o sacrifice_n fourthly_a with_o compassion_n for_o the_o people_n error_n in_o all_o which_o christ_n only_o be_v excellent_a above_o all_o other_o now_o the_o apostle_n go_v forward_o and_o yet_o show_v a_o five_o property_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n afore_o and_o that_o be_v that_o he_o be_v call_v of_o god_n and_o thrust_v not_o himself_o into_o that_o room_n &_o function_n to_o this_o purpose_n now_o it_o follow_v and_o no_o man_n take_v unto_o himself_o this_o honour_n but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n then_o in_o the_o two_o verse_n follow_v sheweth_z how_o in_o this_o also_o christ_n excel_v aaron_n and_o have_v a_o more_o glorious_a call_n then_o he_o first_o because_o a_o high_a decree_n of_o god_n be_v pronounce_v by_o the_o prophet_n in_o which_o under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o soon_o god_n ordain_v he_o priest_n say_v thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o again_o he_o call_v he_o not_o unto_o a_o priesthood_n of_o sign_n and_o shadow_n which_o endure_v but_o for_o a_o while_n but_o he_o call_v he_o to_o the_o true_a priesthood_n itself_o which_o change_v not_o but_o make_v he_o a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n so_o as_o the_o son_n be_v high_a than_o a_o servant_n the_o truth_n better_o than_o the_o figure_n of_o it_o and_o that_o which_o abide_v ever_o better_a than_o that_o which_o in_o time_n be_v abolish_v so_o much_o this_o call_n of_o christ_n exceed_v aaron_n calling_n and_o all_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n here_o let_v we_o first_o learn_v sith_o the_o apostle_n speak_v plain_o no_o man_n take_v honour_n to_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o aaron_n be_v that_o both_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o man_n without_o a_o calling_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o ministry_n neither_o yet_o any_o call_v aught_o to_o be_v which_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o see_v the_o ministry_n be_v honourable_a and_o he_o be_v just_o honour_v that_o execute_v it_o faithful_o how_o can_v i_o exalt_v myself_o but_o of_o right_n i_o ought_v again_o to_o be_v bring_v low_o and_o in_o steed_n of_o glory_n have_v shame_n for_o what_o do_v i_o in_o this_o but_o rob_v christ_n of_o his_o glory_n who_o be_v head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o appoint_v minister_n who_o he_o will_v who_o rule_v in_o the_o house_n of_o jacob_n and_o ordain_v officer_n at_o his_o own_o pleasure_n if_o in_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n subject_n will_v presume_v to_o take_v office_n at_o their_o own_o choice_n be_v it_o not_o extreme_a confusion_n utter_a reproach_n and_o shame_n unto_o the_o prince_n how_o much_o more_o to_o bring_v this_o confusion_n into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n therefore_o both_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o do_v open_o ordain_v his_o own_o apostle_n &_o never_o any_o of_o they_o execute_v that_o office_n but_o with_o protestation_n that_o they_o have_v this_o call_n of_o god_n &_o therefore_o their_o epistle_n begin_v as_o you_o read_v paul_n a_o apostle_n of_o jesus_n christ._n peter_n the_o servant_n of_o jesus_n christ._n and_o y●_n same_o from_o the_o beginning_n have_v be_v a_o perpetual_a law_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n moses_n david_n isaiah_n jeremy_n and_o all_o the_o residue_n they_o take_v not_o this_o honour_n to_o they_o self_n but_o be_v call_v of_o god_n &_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n they_o declare_v unto_o the_o people_n his_o vision_n and_o his_o word_n from_o which_o if_o they_o decline_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o least_o they_o make_v themselves_o sinner_n and_o not_o only_o thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o ministry_n but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o apostle_n give_v it_o a_o general_a term_n no_o man_n take_v honour_n unto_o himself_o even_o in_o the_o common_a wealth_n in_o matter_n of_o this_o vain_a life_n not_o only_o the_o god_n of_o peace_n will_v not_o have_v his_o people_n to_o live_v in_o

he_o sin_v against_o god_n and_o offend_v his_o prince_n that_o have_v appoint_v he_o the_o justice_n must_v deal_v with_o those_o thing_n which_o appertain_v unto_o a_o justice_n &_o a_o judge_n with_o the_o thing_n of_o a_o judge_n and_o as_o it_o be_v rebellion_n for_o the_o private_a man_n to_o resist_v the_o magistrate_n so_o be_v it_o presumption_n in_o a_o magistrate_n to_o take_v

quite_o out_o of_o our_o place_n for_o in_o matter_n above_o we_o we_o be_v all_o private_a man_n and_o must_v go_v unto_o they_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v the_o judgement_n where_o we_o our_o

such_o a_o calling_n as_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a it_o be_v of_o god_n for_o we_o must_v be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o aaron_n be_v here_o dear_o belove_v i_o will_v we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o

have_v seal_v it_o that_o his_o word_n be_v live_v and_o enter_v into_o the_o division_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o we_o have_v be_v fruitful_a hearer_n of_o all_o this_o long_a exhortation_n which_o the_o apostle_n have_v make_v and_o end_v to_o stir_v up_o his_o brethren_n faithful_o to_o hear_v this_o prophet_n of_o god_n his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o saviour_n who_o have_v reveal_v all_o his_o will_n unto_o we_o and_o thus_o far_o of_o this_o former_a part_n of_o the_o epistle_n in_o which_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o only_a prophet_n but_o the_o time_n be_v paste_n now_o let_v we_o pray_v etc_n etc_n the_o xxj_o lecture_n upon_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o chapter_n the_o 14._o 15._o &_o 16._o verse_n 14_o see_v than_o that_o we_o

which_o can_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o infirmity_n but_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n temp_v in_o like_a sort_n yet_o without_o sin_n 16_o let_v we_o therefore_o go_v bold_o unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v mercy_n and_o find_v grace_n to_o help_v in_o time_n of_o need_n we_o have_v hear_v dear_o belove_v how_o the_o apostle_n have_v teach_v that_o christ_n be_v now_o our_o only_a prophet_n &_o what_o care_n we_o shall_v have_v diligent_o and_o faithful_o to_o harken_v unto_o he_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v guilty_a before_o god_n of_o great_a condemnation_n and_o judgement_n the_o reason_n be_v of_o the_o apostle_n to_o prove_v he_o our_o only_a prophet_n first_o because_o god_n send_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n make_v man_n like_o unto_o we_o and_o reveal_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n unto_o we_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o person_n enforce_v we_o to_o confess_v that_o god_n ordain_v he_o alone_o to_o be_v our_o prophet_n again_o he_o be_v faithful_a in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o then_o what_o need_v any_o other_o prophet_n unto_o we_o three_o he_o be_v more_o honourable_a than_o moses_n in_o

his_o voice_n etc_n etc_n which_o we_o must_v needs_o understand_v to_o be_v a_o perpetual_a prophecy_n and_o therefore_o accomplish_v in_o christ_n who_o we_o must_v hear_v if_o we_o will_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v last_o of_o all_o the_o force_n &_o strength_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v such_o as_o it_o must_v needs_o warrant_v the_o majesty_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o as_o n_o one_o other_o have_v that_o glory_n so_o none_o to_o be_v our_o prophet_n but_o he_o alone_o unto_o all_o those_o reason_n he_o have_v add_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v earnest_a exhortation_n to_o give_v more_o weight_n unto_o they_o for_o the_o better_a persuasion_n of_o his_o brethren_n to_o who_o he_o write_v now_o he_o begin_v the_o other_o principal_a point_n of_o this_o first_o part_n of_o the_o epistle_n that_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o only_a priest_n which_o disputation_n he_o continue_v to_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n as_o we_o shall_v god_n willing_a hear_v he_o begin_v it_o first_o with_o a_o exhortation_n as_o he_o use_v the_o like_a often_o before_o and_o as_o i_o say_v to_o make_v we_o more_o careful_o regard_v his_o word_n sith_v they_o we_o have_v a_o great_a high_a priest_n who_o have_v enter_v into_o heaven_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n let_v we_o hold_v this_o profession_n the_o force_n of_o this_o exhortation_n be_v in_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n secret_o compare_v with_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n who_o be_v in_o nature_n their_o brother_n in_o person_n weak_a as_o other_o man_n in_o office_n earthly_a enter_v into_o a_o tabernacle_n make_v with_o hang_v in_o virtue_n a_o figure_n of_o a_o better_a sacrificer_n himself_o not_o profit_v at_o all_o but_o christ_n be_v another_o high_a priest_n in_o nature_n the_o son_n of_o god_o in_o quality_n great_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n in_o office_n heavenly_a enter_v before_o god_n to_o be_v our_o mediator_n in_o virtue_n holy_a and_o perfect_a himself_o to_o purge_v our_o sin_n this_o the_o apostle_n note_v call_v he_o high_a priest_n great_a enter_v into_o heaven_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o we_o be_v guilty_a before_o he_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o hold_v fast_o and_o profess_v all_o his_o instruction_n and_o doctrine_n now_o lest_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o apostle_n exhortation_n be_v weak_a and_o that_o he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v which_o be_v in_o controversy_n for_o he_o call_v our_o saviour_n christ_n high_a priest_n which_o yet_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v not_o prove_v we_o must_v consider_v what_o have_v be_v speak_v before_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v see_v good_a argument_n in_o this_o exhortation_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o cause_n he_o have_v teach_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n make_v man_n reveal_v unto_o we_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o father_n purchase_v a_o most_o glorious_a inheritance_n for_o we_o and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o which_o we_o be_v hold_v under_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n which_o thing_n before_o witness_v of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o necessary_o prove_v he_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n to_o be_v our_o priest_n according_a to_o that_o truth_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o disputation_n he_o call_v he_o our_o great_a high_a priest_n so_o he_o begin_v before_o the_o third_o chapter_n consider_v holy_a brethren_n the_o apostle_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o our_o profession_n not_o yet_o have_v particular_o speak_v of_o those_o office_n but_o call_v he_o by_o those_o name_n because_o according_a to_o the_o description_n of_o his_o person_n before_o make_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v both_o our_o priest_n and_o prophet_n another_o argument_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v that_o he_o be_v here_o in_o earth_n afflict_v as_o we_o be_v submit_v himself_o to_o death_n from_o which_o he_o be_v rise_v and_o now_o ascend_v into_o

see_v upon_o how_o good_a warrant_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o beginning_n exhort_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v christ_n their_o priest_n and_o thus_o much_o touch_v this_o entrance_n of_o the_o
