holy brethren consider the Apostle and High-Priest of our profession Christ Jesus who was faithful to him that appointed him as also Moses was faithful in all his house He steps over Aaron who was the the High-Priest and he compares him here to Moses in faithfulness Now Moses was faithful in all his house But our Lord and Saviour here he is preferred before Moses in point of faithfulness yet it is said Moses was faithful in all his house When that the Lord commanded Moses any thing as the Lord commanded so did he and rose up early in the morning to do the commandement of God He was faithful in all his house and yet our Lord and Saviour was more faithful than Moses in the matter of his Priesthood For so it is brought in here at the 3. verse For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses in as much as be who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house Verse the 5. Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after but Christ as a Son over his own house Look now as a Child or a son is more faithful in his fathers house than a servant will be so saies the Apostle Christ is more faithful than Moses And look as the builder of the house does go beyond and excel every beam and stone in the house or every part of the building So does the Lord Christ in faithfulness exceed Moses You will say there is a great difference between a stone in the building and the maker of the house Look what difference there is between a stone or a piece of wood the maker of the building so great a difference there is saies the Apostle between Jesus Christ in the matter of his Priesthood and Moses yet notwithstanding Moses is faithful in all his house Oh! then how faithful is Jesus Christ in the matter of his Priesthood He goes before all that ever went before him Again Take other High-Priests and though they were never so good they could not alwaies intercede they died the High-Priest died and another came in his room But this man liveth for ever to make Intercession Yea Take the High-priest in the times of the old-Testament and while he lived he did not alwaies intercede for the people Once in a year the High-priest came to enter into the Holy of Holiest to sprinkle the Mercy-seat with blood and caused a cloud to arise upon the Mercy-seat with his prayers and intercessions for their acceptance and then he went out of the Holy of Holiest and laid aside his garments But now our great High-priest is ascended into the Holy of Holiest never to put off his Priestly garments and he does not once a year sprinkle the Mercy-seat with his sacrifice but every day and therefore he goes beyond all the High-priests that ever went before him And yet further Take the High-priest in the old Law in the times of the old Testament and though they did offer sacrifice for some sinnes and intercede yet there was other sins again that no sacrifice was to be offered for If a man did kill another at un-awares there was a sacrifice If a man sinned ignorantly there was a sacrifice But saies the Text in the 15. of Numbers 30. vers If any man sin presumptuously he shall be cut off and there shall be no sacrifice for him No sacrifice no intercession by the High-priest then But we have such an High-priest that makes intercessions for All sins So he saies himself Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven except the blasphemy against the Holy-Ghost Every sin though it boyle up to blasphemy it shall be forgiven but without sacrifice there is no remission and therefore he hath made a sacrifice and so he presents the sacrifice and intercedes for every poor sinner and therefore he is such an High-priest that transcends all the high-priests that euer was before him In the Fourth place How doth all this conduce now to our Comfort or our Holiness to ur Grace or Peace First To our Comfort Very much to our Comfort And therefore in the 1. Chap. of Zach. good words comfortable are spoken upon this occasion ver 8. saies the Prophet I saw by night and behold a man riding upon a red horse and he stood among the myrile-trees that were in the bottome and behind him were there red horses speckled white Then said I O my Lord what are these And the Angel that talked with me said unto me I will shew thee what these be And the man that stood among the myrtle-trees answered and said These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walke to and fro through the earth And they answered the Angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle-trees and said Wee have walked to and fro through the earth and behold all the earth sitteth still and is at rest And the Angel of the Lord answered and said O Lord of hosts how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the Cities of Judah against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years Here is Intercession And the Lord answered the Angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words Give me leave to open the words a little and we shall see how much it makes to our comfort this Intercession of Jesus Christ At the 8. verse I saw saies he a man riding upon a red horse This is the Lord Jesus Christ presented thus unto us And he stood among the myrtle-trees The Saints and people of God they are called myrtle-trees for their greenness sweetness and fruitfulness And these myrtle-trees were in the bottome That is in a dark in a low and a poor condition it is the condition of myrtle-trees and of the Saints and people of God to be oft in bottoms and in a dark and low condition Well Behind him were there red horses speckled and white And I said O my Lord what are these Now that this is Christ First of all he is called a Man and an Angel too Secondly As Christ walked between the golden Candlesticks in the book of the Revelation So here he stood among the mirtle-trees among the Saints And behind him attending upon him were red horses speckled and white That is Angels sent to and fro through the earth upon his message and upon his errand and unto him they come and give an account and to none but Christ Then we shall see this Angel that stood among the myrtle-trees comes and Intercedes all the Angels they come and bring in this report That the Church and people of God were in a low condition Then this Angel that stood among the Myrtle-trees answered and said at the 12. verse O Lord of hosts how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the Cities of Judah against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten yeers It
