sins 1 Joh. 2.27 And ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lye 2. How to apply Christs Priesthood at first for justification and how to apply it daily and continually for repeated pardon and forgiveness and how to improve it as our daily sacrifice 1 John 1.9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness And 2.1 2. My little children these things write I unto you that ye sin not and if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous c. 3. How to live by faith to depend upon Christ and to be guided continually by him as the ruler of his people Heb. 10.38 Now the just shall live by faith Psal 73.24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterward receive me to glory 2. By removing mistakes and prejudices which are so rooted in our hearts that there can be no agreement till these prejudices be taken off and a good understanding be gotten betwixt the parties Thus Christ played the Prophet to the woman of Samaria by instructing her till he had removed her mistakes and prejudices and informed her judgment right and then he had access to deal further with her Joh. 4.3 By convincing of the need of his Priesthood and Sacrifice and of his Kingdom he doth teach his people as a Prophet till they know they need a Sacrifice and till he shew them where it is and till they know they need a King and the arm of Omnipotency for effecting a change of the Covenant-state John 16.8 And when he is come he will reprove the world of sin of righteousness and of judgment Job 33.23 If there be a messenger with him an interpreter one among a thousand to shew unto man his uprightness Consider 2. How the Priesthood of Christ concurreth with his Prophesie and Kingdom and is aiding to them 1. His Priesthood is aiding to his Prophesie 1. By making God accessible through the new and living way of Reconciliation taught by his Prophesie God having now accepted a sacrifice and we having a Priest by whom we may come to him Heb. 10.19 20 Having therefore brethren boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus by a new and living way which he hath consecrated for us through the vail that is to say the flesh and an Advocate and Intercessor to pray for us 1 John 2.1 2 We have an Advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sins 2. By making that great Prophet more affable and condescending to us by how much he is come near to us in our nature and hath taken his Sacrifice from among his brethren I mean his flesh and body Heb. 2.17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren Chap. 5.1 For every High-priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God that they may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins Chap. 10. v. 5 Whererefore when he cometh into the world he saith sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not but a body hast thou prepared me 2. His Priesthood is aiding to his Kingdom and that in both the parts of it 1. In his sacrifice and satisfaction he hath doubled his right and title to his people and worketh their salvation by price which as a King he doth by power and conquest Heb. 9.15 And for this cause he is the Mediator of the new Testament that by means of death for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first Testament they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance 1 Pet. 1.18 19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things but with the precious blood of Christ 2. In his Intercession he carrieth the same business of our Salvation by favour and entreaty which he hath also carried by Command as a King Heb. 7.25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them With 1.3 When he had by himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high John 17.24 Father I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am 3. Consider how his Kingdom doth support his Priesthood and Prophesie and give vigour and efficacy to them both And 1. His Kingdom doth assist his Prophesie 1. By sustaining and keeping up the means of Salvation and Teaching by his Gospel and Ordinances against all the enemies that have risen up and bestirred themselves against the same ever since the beginning of the world Thus he keepeth these pillars of his Throne from ruine Psalm 110.2 5 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion rule thou in the midst of thine enemies The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath 2. By making his Gospel and Ordinances have their full effectualness in the hearts of his people to convince and convert them and to pierce and condemn those that despise them John 9.39 And Jesus said For Judgment I am come into this world that they which see not might see a and that they which see might be made blind Isa 55.11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth it shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it 2. His Kingdom doth assist his Priesthood 1. By giving efficacy to his satisfaction to reconcile the persons of the Elect to God and to obtain forgiveness of their sins for it is his Kingdom that doth convey the power of his Priesthood into the soul 2. By giving Efficacy unto his Intercession for keeping all those that are given to him by his Father continually in a state of grace and favour John 17.11 24 Those that thou gavest me I have kept and none of them is lost but the son of perdition Father I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am 3. By making his Death and Resurrection effectual to subdue our lusts and to set up his Kingdom within us Eph. 1.19 20 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe according to the working of his mighty power which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places Rom. 6.4 5 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the father even so we also should walk in newness of life For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection Vse 1.

not an High-priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin 1 John 2.1 And if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous 6. A Mediator must be Potent and able to compass his undertaking Christ is such a Mediator Psal 89.19 I have laid help upon one that is mighty Isa 9.6 His name shall be called the mighty God He is a potent Mediator 1. In respect of the power that is in his hands Consider his ability to compass the work committed unto him in respect of his essential power and kingdom and in respect of his dispensatory power and kingdom Isa 9.6 7 He is able to save to the utmost perfectly Heb. 7.25 He is mighty to save Isa 63.1 He is able to save from sin and all that is in it whether guilt power or defilement and from wrath and all that may follow upon it he is able to supply all our wants and to do for us exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think Phil. 4.19 Eph. 3.20 And consider his ability to perform whatsoever he hath undertaken and that as well for God to man as for man to God He is able to do what ever he hath engaged to us on Gods behalf to finish the work that he gave him to do John 17.4 c. and for this cause he is a King by Covenant and hath all power in heaven and earth given to him Mat. 28.18 Heb. 10.12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever sate down on the right hand of God Chap. 8. v. 1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum We have such an High-priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heaven Eph. 1.20.21 22 And set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named not only in this world but also in that which is to come And hath put all things under his feet and given him to be head over all things to the Church 2. He is a potent Mediator in respect of the trust and delegation of power given to him for setling and removing the difference betwixt the parties the arbitration being rendred up to him to determine and lay his hands on both Joh. 5.22 For the Father judgeth no man but hath committed all judgment to the Son This is a great power that is put in Christs hands that he shall order the satisfaction that shall be given so as to bring about the giving of it upon the one part and the acceptation of it upon the other part Joh. 10.17 18 Therefore doth my Father love me because I lay down my life that I might take it again I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again Chap. 17. v. 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him 3. In respect of the powerful interest he hath with both the parties 1. With God his Father with whom he is very gracious and hath power with him to procure his acceptance of such satisfaction as he offereth Mat. 3.17 This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased And to obtain from him whatsoever he desireth for the believer of the other party Joh. 11.42 And I knew that thou hearest me always Chap. 17. v. 24. Father I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am 2. He hath a powerful interest with man to make him offer the satisfaction which his Father is content to accept To make him subject his consent to the Gospel 2 Cor. 9.13 Joh. 12.32 And I if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me And to make him walk in that way which may please his Father Ezek. 36.27 I will put my spirit in you and cause you to walk in my statutes A potent Mediator that hath a great stroak of power with both the parties to reconcile God to man by his accepting the sacrifice of Christs death and to reconcile man to God by his humbling himself to offer satisfaction to God in Christ 7. A Mediator must be faithful and true to the interest of both parties in his Mediation seeking and studying their good Christ is eminently such Heb. 2.17 Rev. 1.4 and 3.14 and 19.11 Consider how he is faithful to both the parties and how he is faithful to the business of reconciliation which is the end of a Mediator 1. He is faithful to the parties And 1. To God he is faithful to him that appointed him Heb. 3.2 True to his fathers interest in seeking his honour executing his will satisfying his justice Joh. 6.38 For I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him that sent me Chap. 8. v. 49 I honour my Father and ye dishonour me 2. He is faithful to man and true to his interest in dealing effectually with his Father on our behalf in all things wherein we have dealing with God Heb. 2.17 That he might be a merciful and faithful High-priest in things pertaining unto God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people 1 John 2.1 We have an advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sins 2. He is faithful to the business which is the end of his Office to wit reconciliation and making friendship betwixt the parties this being entrusted to him he makes it his work and minds it exceedingly Luk. 2.49 Wist ye not that I must be about my Fathers business Joh. 4.34 My meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work And this appeareth 1. In his faithful agenting the business of our peace in Heaven whither he is gone for the making and maintaining peace between God and his people there to appear in the presence of God for us Heb. 9.24 Joh. 17. throughout Rev. 8.3 And another angel came and stood at the altar having a golden censor and there was given to him much incense that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne 2. In his faithful reporting back again to his people what may be expected by them at his Fathers hands he is the messenger of the Covenant and the true and faithful witness Mal. 3.1 Rev. 1.5 Joh. 14.2 In my Fathers house are many mansions if it were not so I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you Eph. 2.17 And came and preached peace to them which were afar off and to them that were night Joh. 1.18 No man hath seen God at any time the only begotten Son which is in the bosome of the Father he hath declared him 3.
