a_o part_n and_o different_a administration_n of_o his_o regal_a 5_o nor_o do_v god_n only_o in_o the_o typical_a prefiguration_n of_o what_o the_o messiah_n be_v to_o be_v represent_v his_o priesthood_n by_o more_o type_n than_o he_o do_v his_o kingly_a office_n but_o he_o ordain_v a_o order_n of_o priesthood_n to_o be_v a_o figurative_a and_o typical_a representation_n of_o what_o christ_n in_o this_o kind_n be_v to_o be_v whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o god_n institute_v the_o office_n of_o a_o king_n to_o be_v a_o previous_a typical_a representation_n of_o the_o regal_a office_n of_o the_o messiah_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o people_n have_v choose_v a_o ruler_n of_o this_o kind_n god_n in_o his_o faithfulness_n and_o

a_o part_n and_o different_a administration_n of_o his_o mediatory_a kingdom_n 6_o that_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n be_v real_o distinct_a from_o his_o regal_a receive_v not_o only_a light_n but_o may_v be_v demonstrative_o evince_v from_o this_o that_o though_o melchizedeck_v the_o illustrious_a type_n of_o the_o messiah_n be_v in_o a_o proper_a sense_n both_o a_o king_n and_o

priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n distinct_a from_o his_o kingly_a 7_o i_o may_v argue_v how_o disagreeable_a it_o be_v to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o have_v so_o separate_v the_o office_n of_o king_n and_o priest_n by_o a_o ordinance_n of_o his_o own_o that_o from_o moses_n till_o the_o arrival_n of_o the_o messiah_n they_o be_v never_o to_o meet_v in_o one_o person_n if_o the_o
