then_o be_v two_o high_a priest_n at_o once_o and_o so_o two_o supreme_a head_n of_o the_o church_n not_o one_o and_o so_o the_o high_a priest_n can_v not_o be_v a_o proper_a type_n of_o christ_n the_o 22._o sole_a high_a priest_n and_o head_n of_o his_o church_n nor_o of_o st._n peter_n or_o the_o pope_n his_o pretend_a vicar_n general_n by_o divine_a right_n 3_o the_o scripture_n be_v express_v that_o aaron_n only_o be_v the_o chief_a priest_n not_o moses_n and_o that_o there_o 17_o neither_o be_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v any_o more_o high_a priest_n but_o one_o at_o a_o time_n therefore_o moses_n can_v be_v no_o high_a priest_n 4_o moses_n in_o the_o 99_o psalm_n and_o all_o other_o text_n where_o he_o and_o aaron_n be_v mention_v be_v put_v and_o name_v in_o the_o first_o

itself_o therefore_o he_o not_o aaron_n be_v the_o chief_a high_a priest_n and_o so_o all_o pope_n pretence_n for_o their_o supremacy_n draw_v from_o aaron_n high_a priesthood_n must_v vanish_v into_o

eleazar_n his_o son_n and_o successor_n a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n 5_o psalm_n 99_o do_v not_o evince_n moses_n to_o be_v a_o chief_a priest_n as_o well_o as_o aaron_n no_o more_o than_o
