a_o custom_n bear_v sway_n that_o such_o a_o abuse_n rule_v &_o reign_v &_o be_v receive_v &_o accept_v and_o that_o we_o dwell_v &_o live_v among_o infidel_n and_o idolater_n what_o a_o condemnation_n shall_v that_o be_v unto_o we_o see_v that_o melchisedech_n so_o constant_o &_o firm_o persist_v &_o stand_v sound_o in_o his_o faith_n &_o belief_n let_v we_o therefore_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n unto_o god_n have_v our_o ear_n fix_v as_o it_o be_v unto_o his_o word_n &_o all_o our_o sense_n attentive_a that_o we_o be_v never_o carry_v away_o although_o we_o shall_v be_v toss_v up_o &_o down_o here_o below_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sea_n &_o drive_v too_o and_o fto_o with_o wind_n and_o tempest_n and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o people_n that_o shall_v hold_v a_o religion_n &_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o great_a king_n that_o will_v have_v they_o thus_o &_o thus_o to_o govern_v themselves_o yet_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o hold_v we_o always_o unto_o our_o god_n alone_o &_o that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o bewar_n that_o we_o never_o decline_v from_o the_o way_n which_o he_o have_v show_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o word_n &_o that_o the_o bright_a shine_a light_n of_o the_o law_n &_o the_o gospel_n be_v ever_o before_o we_o &_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o err_v so_o long_o as_o we_o know_v god_n to_o be_v our_o guide_n &_o leader_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v from_o the_o example_n of_o melchisedech_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o text_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v that_o melchisedech_n king_n of_o salem_n offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o bless_a abram_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o this_o text_n be_v resolve_v that_o melceisedech_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n receive_v abram_n and_o give_v unto_o he_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o the_o refresh_n of_o his_o people_n and_o be_v by_o quality_n a_o priest_n bless_v he_o and_o that_o abram_n also_o give_v he_o the_o tithe_n of_o all_o the_o spoil_n here_o we_o see_v that_o melchisedech_n be_v set_v before_o we_o both_o a_o king_n and_o a_o priest_n now_o here_o we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v of_o the_o diverse_a act_n by_o the_o several_a office_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n he_o deal_v liberal_o with_o abram_n he_o refresh_v he_o and_o all_o his_o company_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n he_o bless_a abram_n now_o it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n among_o the_o ancient_a father_n for_o every_o king_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o the_o very_a profane_a people_n do_v show_v that_o that_o be_v use_v in_o many_o country_n for_o king_n be_v not_o content_v with_o their_o kingly_a estate_n but_o desire_v also_o through_o ambition_n to_o be_v priest_n because_o they_o think_v it_o to_o be_v a_o more_o holy_a dignity_n than_o the_o majesty_n of_o a_o king_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v why_o they_o will_v oftentimes_o be_v priest_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v that_o that_o be_v a_o most_o ambitious_a desire_n and_o that_o they_o which_o covet_v credit_n and_o estimation_n will_v always_o aspire_v and_o climb_v that_o way_n but_o how_o ever_o it_o be_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o moses_n recite_v this_o as_o a_o singular_a thing_n in_o melchisedech_n nevertheless_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v in_o his_o law_n make_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o will_v not_o have_v they_o both_o to_o rest_v in_o one_o person_n and_o moses_n be_v as_o excellent_a a_o man_n in_o all_o perfection_n 28.1_o f.x._n 28.1_o of_o virtue_n as_o ever_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o god_n for_o all_o that_o have_v he_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n also_o but_o will_v have_v his_o brother_n aaron_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n because_o moses_n have_v enough_o to_o do_v with_o the_o civil_a government_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n we_o see_v how_o osias_n be_v punish_v 26.21_o 2._o chron._n 26.21_o for_o be_v a_o king_n he_o be_v arrogant_o puff_v up_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o usurpation_n of_o the_o priesthood_n and_o for_o only_o sense_v upon_o the_o altar_n with_o frankincense_n he_o be_v strike_v with_o a_o leprosy_n put_v to_o great_a shame_n and_o make_v a_o recluse_a all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o it_o seem_v that_o his_o devotion_n be_v good_a or_o at_o least_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v excuse_v yea_o but_o god_n do_v not_o punish_v the_o outward_a act_n only_o for_o he_o know_v well_o enough_o the_o pride_n of_o king_n osias_n heart_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v say_v that_o obedience_n be_v better_a than_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o world_n 15.22_o 1._o sam._n 15.22_o and_o because_o he_o thrust_v himself_o into_o a_o office_n which_o god_n express_o forbid_v and_o trouble_v the_o vocation_n &_o order_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v inviolable_o keep_v we_o see_v wherefore_o he_o be_v punish_v and_o for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o will_v not_o content_v himself_o with_o his_o estate_n and_o degree_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v make_v infamous_a and_o detestable_a and_o be_v quite_o and_o clean_o separate_v from_o the_o company_n of_o man_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o law_n be_v two_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o tolerate_v to_o be_v in_o one_o man_n to_o wit_n kingdom_n and_o priesthood_n and_o therefore_o see_v it_o be_v so_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o this_o example_n which_o be_v here_o set_v down_o be_v absolute_a singular_a and_o appertain_v not_o unto_o the_o law_n true_a it_o be_v that_o at_o that_o time_n the_o law_n be_v not_o as_o then_o write_v and_o the_o tribe_n of_o levy_v be_v not_o yet_o in_o the_o world_n to_o take_v upon_o it_o the_o right_n of_o the_o priestly_a dignity_n howbeit_o this_o example_n be_v here_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o for_o instruction_n to_o the_o end_n the_o law_n may_v remain_v in_o her_o full_a strength_n and_o the_o church_n thereby_o may_v be_v edify_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o psalm_n by_o i_o allege_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v 110._o psal_n 110._o that_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o solomon_n nor_o yet_o of_o any_o other_o king_n descend_v from_o the_o stem_n of_o david_n for_o if_o they_o be_v king_n they_o must_v not_o have_v intermeddle_v themselves_o with_o the_o priesthood_n for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o be_v apostate_n wherefore_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o king_n a_o figure_n of_o melchisedech_n and_o according_a to_o his_o order_n and_o estate_n that_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o david_n which_o be_v descend_v of_o he_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n save_v until_o such_o time_n as_o we_o come_v unto_o the_o high_a priest_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o of_o his_o seed_n but_o there_o be_v in_o he_o a_o especial_a yea_o a_o only_a regard_n to_o be_v have_v which_o be_v that_o he_o make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o la_o because_o his_o kingdom_n be_v spiritual_a and_o that_o be_v it_o also_o that_o shall_v make_v a_o end_n of_o this_o earthly_a kingdom_n which_o be_v establish_v but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o that_o until_o his_o come_n now_o when_o it_o be_v call_v perpetual_a the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o have_v continue_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o redeemer_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v out_o of_o these_o word_n of_o moses_n when_o he_o say_v that_o melchisedech_n be_v king_n of_o salem_n and_o that_o he_o be_v withal_o a_o priest_n we_o see_v then_o that_o these_o two_o office_n belong_v to_o none_o but_o unto_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o that_o rule_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o his_o la_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n that_o it_o be_v the_o priesthood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v show_v unto_o abram_n to_o the_o end_n his_o faith_n by_o that_o mean_n may_v be_v seal_v and_o the_o better_o confirm_v for_o since_o the_o body_n be_v not_o see_v it_o behove_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o shadow_n at_o the_o least_o thereof_o and_o therefore_o have_v the_o father_n the_o shadow_n of_o it_o for_o the_o uphold_v of_o their_o faith_n still_o look_v for_o the_o appear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o have_v i_o say_v shadow_n and_o figure_n and_o although_o that_o be_v not_o to_o we_o common_a with_o they_o yet_o be_v it_o very_o profitable_a for_o us._n for_o we_o
