c. but as saith Saint Ierome c Hierony in Psal 110. all Ecclesiasticall writers haue saied that he is saied to bee without father according to his manhood without mother and kinred according to his godhead and therein also without beginning of daies or end of life Therefore as Melchisedec for any thing we reade so Christ verily and indeed continueth a priest for euer seeing he euer liueth as was before saide to make intercession for vs. The honour of priesthood proper vnto Iesus Christ 21 Nowe of all that hath beene spoken this is the summe that the honour of priesthood for propitiation and attonement for sinne belongeth onely vnto Iesus Christ that hee alone it is who for the greatnesse of his person and for the woorthinesse of his sacrifice and for the power of his intercession is sufficient to be our mediatour vnto God that hee onely answereth that that was figured in Melchisedec being for vs both a king and a priest The sufficiencie of the priesthood of Christ is the condemnation of the popish priesthood in whom we haue righteousnes and peace and blisse who neuer ceaseth to stande and pleade for vs before the throne of God Seeing then hee is thus alsufficient in himselfe and abideth euer with God to performe in our behalfe the office of a priest wee learne heereby to looke to another priest or mediatour but onely to him therefore to cōdemne the popish priesthood togiher with all their strange intercessiōs of sacriledge blasphemie as tending to the derogation of the priesthood of Christ and to the impeachment of that sacrifice and attonement that he hath performed for vs. The popish priesthood of no order appointed by God and therefore not of God Of whom it may be demaunded by what order it is that they take vpon them to bee priests and to offer sacrifice for forgiuenesse of sinnes The Scriptures as before is saide name vnto vs onely two orders of priesthood of which theirs is neither The order of Aaron they will not chalenge vnto themselues the order of Melchisedec they dare not because it is noted to be the peculiar and soueraigne royaltie of the sonne of God Or if they dare as indeed what dare they not to serue their turne how or with what colour can they fitte themselues to that order for to be a priest after the order of Melchisedec is to be both king and priest and to be a priest a Heb. 7.3 continuing for euer without father without mother c. But these things cannot be applied to popish priests Therefore priests according to the order of Melchisedec they cannot be If neither according to Aaron nor according to Melchisedec then their priesthood is not of God but they are priests of their owne making and therefore hatefull vnto God The popish priesthood impeacheth and disgraceth the priesthood of Christ 22 And so much the rather for that by this their vsurped priesthood they vilifie and disgrace the priesthood which God by his oath hath established for euer in Iesus Christ For what doe they but mainely detract from the excellencie of his person when in offering sacrifice for sinne they match mate with him euery varlet and pesaunt to whom it pleaseth any Romish bishop to giue imposition of hands and make them priestes to appeere before God and to make attonement for sinne whom men woulde scant thinke woorthie enough for the wiping of their shooes or the keeping of their swine The sacrifice of his crosse that b Heb. 7.27 9.12.26 10.10.12.14 once offering of himselfe which onely and without any second offering the scripture commendeth vnto vs teaching vs that thereby we c Heb. 10.10.14 are sanctified and perfited vnto God so that wee haue no neede of any further offering what doe they but disgrace as vnsushcient when they make a necessitie of offring him vp in sacrifiec euery day to purchase thereby forgiuenesse of sinnes both for quicke and dead and when the holy Ghost most expressely saith that a Heb. 9.24.25 he is entred into heauen to appeere in the sight of God for vs not that hee shoulde offer himselfe often doe yet notwithstanding teach that being in heauen he often and euery day b Rhem. Tesia Annot. Heb. 7.23 concurreth with their priests as the Rhemists speake to offer vp himselfe His intercession they haue made in a manner frustrate and voide by putting in his place other intercessours and mediatours by whome they haue perswaded themselues to haue more ready accesse vnto God euen as many as there are saints to be found in heauen as if Christ were either vnwilling or vnable to procure them fauour with God or were asleepe and had forgotten either the office committed vnto him or this promise whereby as before was noted he hath assured vs in this sort c Ioh. 14 13. Whatsoeuer ye aske the father in my name I will doe it that the father may be glorified in the sonne teaching vs to vse no other but onely his owne name because God in this behalfe hath chosen to be glorified neither in Peter nor Paul nor in the virgin Mary but onely in his sonne To discourse these points at large would be too long and tedious but thus in a word they rob Christ so much as in them lieth of that honour which God the father by an irreuocable oath hath confirmed vnto him and make the word of God of none effect by communicating that to other which the father hath vowed shal be proper vnto him alone And horrible is the iniquitie and villanie that from time to time they haue committed vnder the pretence of this priesthood even d 2. Pet. 2.1.3 denying the Lord that hath bought them and through couetousnesse with famed words buying and selling and making merchandise of the e Renel 18.13 soules of men and whilest they fed them with an opinion of forgiuenesse of sinnes by their priesthood and sacrifice bereauing them of forgiuenesse of sinnes which they should haue found indeede in the bloud of Iesus Christ Let vs not be partakers of their error but refusing all other priesthood and mediation let vs cleaue vnto that onely which God hath ordeined in the person of Iesus Christ He hath f Heb. 1.3 by himselfe purged our sinnes and perfectly fulfilled the worke of reconciliation which was committed vnto him of the father he needeth no aslistants or helpers in this behalfe The comfort that we receiue by the priesthood of Christ 23 But of all this a singular comfort is ministred vnto vs. For seing we haue such an high priest so glorious and great in person so sufficient in woorth of sacrifice so gratious in intercession sitting also at the right hand of the maiesty in heauen so neere vnto God the very sonne of God what good thing is there that we may not hope for at the hands of God by his meanes How should we doubt but
