the_o kingly_a which_o late_a remain_v in_o moses_n after_o he_o by_o the_o command_n of_o god_n have_v devolve_v the_o priesthood_n which_o be_v original_o in_o himself_o upon_o his_o brother_n

8.15_o and_o 6.15_o and_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o his_o sacrifice_v but_o that_o he_o sacrifice_v animate_v as_o well_o as_o inanimate_a thing_n be_v evident_a not_o only_o because_o animal_n sacrifice_n be_v general_o use_v before_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o aaronical_a priesthood_n and_o it_o be_v very_o improbable_a that_o he_o who_o be_v so_o eminent_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n shall_v never_o offer_v the_o accustom_a sacrifice_n but_o also_o because_o christ_n sacrifice_n be_v a_o animate_v one_o who_o be_v a_o priest_n after_o melchisedeck_n order_n and_o not_o of_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n heb._n 7.11_o so_o that_o if_o the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o order_n consist_v in_o this_o difference_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n christ_n must_v be_v rather_o a_o priest_n of_o the_o aaronick_a than_o the_o melchisedecan_n order_n and_o how_o can_v the_o act_n of_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n be_v typical_a of_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v melchisedecan_n as_o the_o scripture_n all_o along_o make_v they_o if_o they_o be_v of_o a_o different_a nature_n from_o those_o of_o melchisedeck_v how_o can_v aaron_n bloody_a sacrifice_n be_v typical_a of_o our_o saviour_n priesthood_n which_o be_v after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v if_o melchisedeck_n priesthood_n admit_v no_o bloody_a sacrifice_n as_o to_o the_o act_n of_o their_o priesthood_n therefore_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o appear_v to_o the_o contrary_a these_o two_o order_n be_v the_o same_o but_o in_o this_o they_o apparent_o differ_v that_o whereas_o the_o regal_a power_n be_v unite_v to_o melchisedeck_n priesthood_n it_o be_v whole_o separate_v from_o aaron_n who_o in_o all_o probability_n be_v the_o first_o high_a priest_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v not_o a_o king_n as_o well_o as_o a_o priest._n the_o priestly_a act_n therefore_o of_o these_o two_o different_a order_n be_v the_o same_o we_o shall_v better_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o saviour_n priesthood_n though_o it_o be_v of_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v by_o the_o account_n we_o have_v of_o the_o aaronical_a than_o by_o that_o of_o the_o

therefore_o in_o general_n consist_v in_o officiate_a for_o sinful_a man_n with_o god_n in_o order_n to_o the_o reconcile_n of_o god_n to_o they_o and_o obtain_v for_o they_o his_o favour_n and_o

act_n of_o it_o viz._n of_o sacrifice_v and_o present_v the_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n by_o way_n of_o intercession_n for_o the_o people_n as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o the_o apostle_n tell_v

god_n by_o way_n of_o intercession_n for_o mankind_n and_o hence_o his_o blood_n be_v call_v the_o blood_n of_o sprinkle_v which_o speak_v better_a thing_n for_o we_o than_o the_o blood_n of_o abel_n heb._n 12.24_o which_o be_v a_o plain_a allusion_n to_o the_o high_a priest_n sprinkle_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n before_o the_o mercy-seat_n on_o the_o great_a day_n of_o expiation_n by_o which_o action_n as_o i_o show_v before_o he_o intercede_v with_o god_n to_o be_v propitious_a to_o the_o people_n in_o consideration_n of_o that_o blood_n which_o he_o there_o present_v in_o their_o behalf_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n be_v a_o type_n of_o heaven_n heb._n 9.24_o and_o the_o high_a priest_n enter_v thereinto_o after_o he_o have_v slay_v the_o sacrifice_n a_o type_n of_o our_o saviour_n enter_v into_o heaven_n after_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o ibid._n verse_n 7_o 11_o 12._o so_o the_o high_a priest_n sprinkle_v the_o blood_n before_o the_o mercy-seat_n be_v also_o a_o type_n of_o our_o saviour_n present_v his_o blood_n to_o the_o father_n in_o heaven_n and_o there_o plead_v it_o in_o our_o behalf_n and_o hence_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n that_o be_v into_o heaven_n the_o antitype_n of_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n and_o to_o have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o neither_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n as_o the_o jewish_a high_a priest_n do_v but_o by_o his_o own_o blood_n heb._n 9.12_o where_o the_o high_a priest_n enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n be_v plain_o oppose_v as_o a_o type_n to_o its_o anti-type_n to_o christ_n enter_v into_o heaven_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o therefore_o the_o high_a priest_n intercede_v for_o the_o people_n in_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n in_o virtue_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n must_v necessary_o be_v typical_a of_o christ_n intercede_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n in_o the_o virtue_n of_o he_o thus_o as_o god_n cast_v and_o contrive_v the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n in_o general_n into_o a_o prefiguration_n or_o visible_a prophecy_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o so_o by_o those_o emblematical_a prediction_n he_o may_v intimate_v beforehand_o those_o glorious_a truth_n to_o pious_a and_o

intimate_v to_o the_o world_n the_o sacrifice_n and_o intercession_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o philo_n that_o the_o jew_n understand_v their_o high_a priest_n to_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n or_o messiah_n for_o thus_o in_o his_o allegory_n he_o make_v the_o temple_n to_o be_v a_o emblem_n of_o the_o world_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o

and_o representation_n of_o the_o dignity_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o eternal_a word_n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o by_o their_o typical_a high-priesthood_n the_o jew_n be_v in_o some_o

our_o saviour_n correspond_v to_o that_o ancient_a priesthood_n in_o which_o they_o be_v prefigure_v in_o general_n therefore_o the_o priesthood_n of_o our_o saviour_n correspond_v to_o that_o

of_o a_o real_a and_o most_o complete_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n now_o to_o make_v both_o a_o true_a and_o perfect_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n there_o be_v five_o thing_n indispensible_o necessary_a first_o that_o in_o be_v sacrifice_v it_o shall_v be_v substitute_v in_o the_o room_n of_o a_o offender_n to_o be_v punish_v for_o he_o in_o order_n to_o his_o be_v release_v from_o his_o own_o

his_o own_o person_n second_o another_o necessary_a condition_n of_o a_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v pure_a sound_a and_o unblemished_a and_o indeed_o this_o condition_n be_v require_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n whether_o expiatory_a or_o eucharistical_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v pure_a or_o legal_o clean_a and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v sound_a and_o without_o

lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o without_o spot_n 1_o pet._n 1.19_o three_o another_o necessary_a condition_n to_o a_o perfect_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v of_o such_o a_o intrinsic_a worth_n and_o value_n as_o that_o its_o death_n may_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o equivalent_a commutation_n for_o the_o punishment_n which_o the_o offender_n deserve_v for_o the_o

it_o be_v high_o requisite_a that_o the_o punishment_n shall_v ordinary_o be_v equivalent_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o the_o crime_n otherwise_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n to_o warn_v and_o deter_v man_n from_o commit_v it_o and_o herein_o consist_v the_o imperfection_n of_o the_o ancient_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n that_o what_o they_o suffer_v be_v much_o short_a of_o what_o the_o offender_n they_o suffer_v for_o deserve_a for_o they_o only_o substitute_v the_o life_n of_o a_o brute_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v of_o far_o great_a worth_n and_o value_n and_o therefore_o by_o how_o much_o less_o valuable_a the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n be_v than_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n by_o so_o much_o less_o be_v the_o punishment_n transfer_v upon_o the_o sacrifice_n than_o the_o guilt_n contract_v by_o the_o offender_n four_o another_o necessary_a condition_n to_o the_o make_n of_o a_o true_a and_o perfect_a sacrifice_n be_v that_o it_o
