be_v unite_v in_o one_o person_n that_o he_o who_o be_v our_o only_a redeemer_n be_v our_o only_a advocate_n also_o but_o yet_o to_o redeem_v with_o his_o blood_n and_o to_o intercede_v with_o his_o father_n for_o we_o differ_v as_o the_o death_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n do_v from_o the_o intercession_n of_o the_o priest._n to_o redeem_v and_o make_v atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o shed_v his_o blood_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v not_o his_o intercession_n for_o we_o and_o to_o intercede_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n be_v not_o to_o redeem_v we_o by_o shed_v his_o blood_n though_o he_o intercede_v in_o virtue_n of_o his_o blood._n so_o that_o though_o christ_n be_v our_o redeemer_n yet_o consider_v as_o our_o mediator_n and_o advocate_n his_o mediation_n consist_v whole_o in_o his_o intercession_n for_o we_o and_o therefore_o to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v one_o mediator_n and_o one_o intercessor_n be_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n suppose_v then_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o intercessor_n between_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n will_v this_o have_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n but_o only_a christ_n or_o will_v they_o still_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o intercessor_n of_o redemption_n and_o intercessor_n of_o intercession_n and_o yet_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o intercessor_n but_o beside_o this_o this_o very_a distinction_n between_o a_o mediator_n of_o redemption_n and_o a_o mediator_n of_o pure_a intercession_n that_o be_v such_o a_o mediator_n as_o mediate_n in_o virtue_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o mediator_n who_o intercede_v only_o by_o prayer_n and_o personal_a interest_n and_o merit_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o analogy_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o remission_n or_o expiation_n so_o there_o be_v no_o mediation_n without_o blood._n for_o to_o mediate_v and_o intercede_v be_v not_o mere_o to_o pray_v for_o another_o but_o it_o signify_v a_o ministerial_a authority_n to_o apply_v the_o virtue_n and_o merit_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n thus_o it_o be_v under_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n the_o high_a priest_n be_v the_o mediator_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v every_o high_a priest_n take_v from_o among_o man_n be_v ordain_v for_o man_n in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n that_o he_o may_v offer_v both_o gift_n and_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n heb._n 5_o 1._o thus_o he_o mediate_v by_o offer_v gift_n and_o sacrifice_n by_o make_v atonement_n and_o expiation_n of_o sin_n and_o no_o man_n have_v authority_n to_o do_v this_o but_o by_o god_n appointment_n no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n to_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n v_o 4._o since_o there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n without_o shed_v blood_n without_o the_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n of_o sacrifice_n there_o can_v be_v no_o mediation_n but_o in_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o mediator_n but_o he_o who_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o confine_v mediation_n to_o the_o sacerdotal_a office._n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o have_v but_o one_o high_a priest_n there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o mediator_n also_o between_o god_n and_o man._n but_o that_o we_o may_v right_o apprehend_v this_o matter_n and_o be_v able_a to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o prayer_n of_o good_a man_n for_o themselves_o and_o for_o each_o other_o and_o the_o intercession_n of_o a_o mediator_n we_o must_v distinct_o consider_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n the_o prayer_n of_o the_o people_n and_o the_o intercession_n of_o the_o priest_n all_o which_o must_v concur_v to_o a_o effectual_a prayer_n to_o obtain_v our_o request_n and_o desire_n of_o god._n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o moysaicall_a law._n the_o sacrifice_n be_v slay_v instead_o of_o the_o sinner_n and_o to_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n prayer_n can_v not_o expiate_v sin_n without_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o patriarch_n a_o altar_n which_o be_v for_o sacrifice_n be_v the_o place_n of_o their_o devotion_n thus_o noah_n as_o 20._o soon_o as_o he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o ark_n build_v a_o altar_n and_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o god._n thus_o we_o frequent_o read_v how_o abraham_n in_o his_o travel_n wherever_o he_o make_v any_o stay_n build_v a_o altar_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v 35._o he_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o prayer_n to_o god._n the_o like_a we_o read_v of_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n so_o that_o a_o altar_n be_v the_o place_n of_o their_o solemn_a devotion_n that_o be_v they_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o virtue_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sinner_n must_v not_o go_v direct_o to_o god_n without_o the_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n hence_o under_o the_o law_n while_o the_o priest_n offer_v the_o sacrifice_n the_o people_n offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o god_n to_o ascend_v together_o with_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o those_o who_o live_v in_o place_n remote_a from_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v the_o only_a place_n of_o sacrifice_n or_o those_o who_o can_v not_o attend_v the_o daily_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o temple_n yet_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o time_n of_o offer_v their_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o time_n of_o their_o prayer_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o time_n of_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n be_v call_v also_o the_o hour_n of_o prayer_n 1._o thus_o the_o people_n be_v to_o offer_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n and_o to_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n in_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n but_o then_o neither_o their_o prayer_n nor_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n unless_o they_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o priest_n who_o sprinkle_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o altar_n to_o make_v atonement_n and_o offer_v incense_n as_o a_o emblem_n of_o their_o prayer_n to_o which_o the_o psalmist_n allude_v let_v my_o prayer_n be_v set_v before_o thou_o as_o incense_n 1._o and_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o my_o hand_n as_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o the_o evangelist_n observe_v that_o the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o the_o people_n be_v pray_v 10._o without_o at_o the_o time_n of_o incense_n that_o their_o prayer_n may_v ascend_v as_o incense_v thus_o we_o express_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o a_o angel_n who_o stand_v at_o the_o altar_n have_v a_o golden_a censer_n and_o there_o be_v give_v unto_o he_o much_o incense_n that_o he_o shall_v offer_v it_o with_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o saint_n upon_o the_o golden_a altar_n which_o be_v before_o the_o throne_n and_o the_o smoke_n of_o the_o incense_n which_o 4._o come_v with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n ascend_v before_o god_n out_o of_o the_o angel_n hand_n which_o express_o apply_v these_o legal_a type_n to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o great_a sacrifice_n and_o great_a high_a priest_n who_o present_v our_o prayer_n to_o god._n the_o death_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n in_o virtue_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n we_o pray_v to_o god_n but_o christ_n our_o great_a high_a priest_n be_v now_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o present_v himself_o before_o his_o father_n to_o offer_v his_o own_o blood_n and_o in_o virtue_n of_o that_o to_o offer_v our_o prayer_n to_o he_o this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o high_a priest_n not_o so_o much_o to_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o to_o offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o his_o own_o sacrifice_n and_o with_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o heavenly_a mediator_n and_o high_a priest._n now_o this_o plain_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o
