principality_n and_o power_n such_o a_o priest_n as_o this_o must_v bring_v we_o that_o be_v base_a and_o sinful_a wretch_n unto_o god_n in_o he_o we_o must_v be_v sanctify_v in_o he_o we_o must_v

of_o the_o earth_n shall_v challenge_v unto_o themselves_o to_o be_v priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n yea_o that_o such_o silly_a ass_n as_o be_v scarce_o fit_a to_o keep_v swine_n will_v yet_o have_v that_o office_n that_o the_o glory_n honour_n and_o power_n of_o be_v above_o the_o angel_n let_v all_o man_n judge_v now_o of_o this_o conclusion_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v pure_a and_o holy_a separate_v from_o sinner_n make_v high_a than_o the_o heaven_n the_o pope_n &_o all_o his_o brood_n be_v sinful_a whoremonger_n thief_n and_o murderer_n base_a and_o vile_a

another_o notable_a difference_n between_o the_o old_a priesthood_n and_o the_o new_a that_o those_o former_a do_v minister_v in_o earth_n in_o a_o tabernacle_n make_v with_o hand_n which_o have_v no_o endure_a substance_n this_o latter_a be_v enter_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o heaven_n and_o there_o do_v execute_v the_o priest_n office_n he_o do_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o a_o earthly_a

can_v not_o be_v a_o priest_n while_o those_o priest_n do_v stand_v which_o be_v after_o the_o law_n hebr._n 8._o 4._o for_o although_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o priest_n in_o deed_n when_o he_o be_v

when_o it_o be_v a_o slay_a sacrifice_n be_v from_o above_o and_o so_o though_o he_o be_v in_o earth_n yet_o the_o whole_a fruit_n of_o his_o work_n be_v in_o heaven_n for_o he_o be_v both_o god_n

as_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o whosoever_o do_v eat_v of_o it_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o yet_o it_o have_v not_o this_o life_n of_o itself_o but_o from_o the_o godhead_n likewise_o the_o blood_n be_v able_a to_o purge_v away_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v also_o god_n it_o be_v also_o say_v 1._o cor._n 15._o the_o first_o man_n

heaven_n we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o earth_n the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v in_o heaven_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o priesthood_n nor_o in_o the_o

in_o heaven_n they_o upon_o earth_n he_o be_v both_o a_o king_n and_o a_o priest_n sir_n john_n be_v not_o a_o king_n it_o do_v follow_v that_o their_o order_n of_o priesthood_n be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o they_o be_v the_o idolatrous_a priest_n of_o antichrist_n they_o can_v not_o by_o their_o ministry_n and_o priesthood_n bring_v man_n unto_o god_n but_o contrariwise_o they_o carry_v headlong_o unto_o the_o devil_n such_o therefore_o as_o will_v save_v their_o soul_n must_v not_o be_v blind_a and_o wilful_a but_o open_v their_o eye_n and_o behold_v the_o clear_a and_o manifest_a truth_n of_o

which_o they_o offer_v be_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o a_o wicked_a abomination_n no_o more_o please_v unto_o god_n than_o if_o man_n shall_v offer_v a_o dog_n in_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o it_o may_v suffice_v to_o satisfy_v a_o modest_a mind_n that_o all_o which_o they_o do_v be_v naught_o because_o they_o do_v make_v themselves_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n

their_o incense_n and_o other_o thing_n carnal_a those_o former_a can_v not_o stand_v with_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n because_o they_o be_v in_o substance_n carnal_a how_o then_o shall_v these_o latter_a which_o be_v as_o carnal_a as_o they_o tell_v we_o o_o you_o baalamites_n of_o the_o romish_a order_n wherefore_o your_o order_n shall_v in_o any_o respect_n be_v call_v the_o order_n of_o melchis●dech_n see_v it_o be_v as_o contrary_a unto_o it_o as_o be_v that_o of_o aaron_n the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o description_n of_o

and_o why_o because_o his_o order_n be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o all_o thing_n thereto_o belong_v must_v be_v spiritual_a it_o be_v eternal_a and_o full_a of_o endless_a power_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o which_o appertain_v to_o the_o execution_n there_o of_o must_v be_v transitory_a &_o weak_a for_o shall_v a_o earthly_a temple_n a_o altar_n of_o stone_n garment_n of_o silk_n or_o of_o any_o corruptible_a thing_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v join_v with_o that_o priesthood_n which_o be_v everlasting_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o every_o thing_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o office_n must_v be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o priesthood_n itself_o and_o therefore_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o mention_v in_o melchisedech_n that_o be_v carnal_a so_o also_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n a_o priest_n after_o that_o order_n have_v execute_v that_o function_n without_o any_o such_o thing_n consecrate_v thereunto_o how_o shall_v the_o papist_n then_o which_o have_v their_o priesthood_n execute_v altogether_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v transitory_a challenge_v to_o be_v of_o that_o order_n with_o our_o saviour_n wherein_o as_o the_o priesthood_n be_v heavenly_a and_o eternal_a so_o be_v all_o thing_n there_o to_o belong_v but_o peradventure_o you_o will_v say_v melchisedech_n be_v a_o priest_n and_o he_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o god_n as_o other_o priest_n at_o that_o time_n wherefore_o shall_v it_o then_o be_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v no_o carnal_a thing_n in_o substance_n belong_v to_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o function_n he_o have_v a_o altar_n he_o have_v beast_n to_o offer_v and_o no_o doubt_n do_v offer_v i_o answer_v that_o albeit_o melchisedech_n do_v execute_v the_o priest_n office_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o other_o priest_n yet_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o order_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v gather_v out_o of_o that_o description_n of_o moses_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o such_o thing_n we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o have_v father_n and_o mother_n that_o he_o be_v bear_v as_o a_o other_o man_n and_o also_o have_v a_o end_n of_o his_o day_n nevertheless_o because_o those_o thing_n be_v leave_v out_o he_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o one_o which_o never_o have_v beginning_n &_o that_o never_o have_v end_n but_o continue_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o in_o like_a sort_n howsoever_o at_o any_o time_n he_o execute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n as_o other_o do_v yet_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n express_v &_o that_o which_o be_v express_v be_v that_o wherein_o he_o be_v liken_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n after_o another_o order_n and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o carnal_a in_o his_o priesthood_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v nothing_o in_o it_o that_o be_v carnal_a the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o papacy_n be_v &_o consist_v altogether_o of_o thing_n carnal_a and_o such_o as_o be_v also_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v not_o priest_n of_o any_o testament_n of_o god_n but_o the_o priest_n of_o antichrist_n further_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o a_o priest_n must_v arise_v after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n that_o shall_v so_o continue_v for_o ever_o for_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n be_v resemble_v by_o melchisedech_n in_o that_o he_o be_v bring_v in_o without_o any_o beginning_n

impudent_a wretch_n be_v those_o which_o be_v mortal_a man_n that_o have_v a_o end_n dare_v so_o blasphemous_o boast_v that_o they_o be_v priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n how_o
