no_o other_o end_n than_o thereby_o to_o show_v that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n be_v true_a and_o lawful_a and_o that_o christ_n have_v not_o be_v a_o true_a priest_n if_o he_o have_v assume_v this_o office_n of_o himself_o and_o not_o be_v call_v of_o god_n to_o receive_v it_o if_o i_o say_v christ_n glorify_v myself_o my_o glory_n be_v nothing_o it_o be_v my_o father_n that_o glorify_v i_o by_o the_o like_a reason_n willing_a to_o assert_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o doctrine_n he_o deny_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o refer_v his_o doctrine_n to_o his_o father_n and_o

say_v here_o of_o christ_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o remarkable_a because_o the_o priesthood_n which_o christ_n sustain_v be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o no_o man_n can_v possible_o take_v it_o upon_o he_o no_o man_n can_v possible_o have_v but_o he_o upon_o who_o god_n collate_n it_o but_o some_o man_n under_o the_o law_n may_v arrogate_v the_o legal_a priesthood_n and_o some_o do_v

authority_n to_o take_v away_o from_o we_o all_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o succour_v and_o help_v we_o in_o our_o misery_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o death_n and_o translate_v we_o to_o eternal_a life_n for_o these_o be_v the_o function_n of_o his_o high_a priesthood_n no_o mortal_a man_n can_v challenge_v this_o priesthood_n or_o usurp_v it_o or_o execute_v the_o function_n of_o it_o unless_o god_n himself_o qualify_v and_o raise_v he_o to_o such_o high_a faculty_n therefore_o also_o the_o author_n speak_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o high_a priesthood_n use_v the_o word_n glorify_v that_o christ_n glorify_v not_o himself_o because_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o most_o glorious_a office_n contain_v most_o glorious_a function_n all_o tend_v to_o eternal_a

the_o author_n plain_o deny_v show_v that_o otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o true_a and_o lawful_a high_a priest_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o the_o supreme_a god_n and_o we_o will_v pass_v

in_o this_o place_n apply_v to_o his_o priesthood_n we_o may_v further_o add_v here_o that_o christ_n perform_v not_o his_o priestly_a office_n at_o least_o not_o perfect_o at_o the_o time_n when_o he_o suffer_v the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n neither_o be_v his_o death_n a_o perfect_a oblation_n expiatory_a for_o these_o word_n of_o the_o psalm_n be_v clear_o interpret_v by_o st._n paul_n of_o

but_o when_o he_o administer_v his_o priestly_a office_n he_o withal_o execute_v the_o part_n of_o his_o kingly_a function_n wherefore_o he_o do_v not_o execute_v it_o actual_o in_o his_o death_n
