never_o in_o scripture_n mention_v as_o distinct_a from_o his_o kingly_a but_o be_v comprehend_v under_o it_o and_o the_o great_a difference_n between_o they_o be_v that_o one_o be_v of_o a_o large_a extension_n than_o the_o other_o be_v the_o kingly_a office_n extend_v to_o punish_v and_o the_o priestly_a only_o to_o expiation_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o crellius_n more_o at_o large_a discourse_v upon_o this_o subject_n wherein_o he_o assert_v these_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o expiation_n d_o of_o sin_n respect_v god_n but_o we_o his_o intercession_n and_o oblation_n wherein_o he_o make_v the_o sacerdotal_a function_n of_o christ_n to_o consist_v be_v the_o exercise_n of_o his_o power_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n 2._o that_o christ_n do_v offer_v up_o no_o sacrifice_n of_o expiation_n to_o god_n upon_o earth_n because_o the_o mactation_n have_v no_o reference_n to_o expiation_n any_o other_o than_o as_o a_o preparation_n for_o it_o and_o christ_n not_o yet_o be_v constitute_v a_o highpriest_n till_o after_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a against_o these_o two_o assertion_n i_o shall_v direct_v my_o follow_a discourse_n by_o prove_v 1._o that_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o primary_n respect_n to_o god_n and_o e_o not_o to_o we_o 2._o that_o christ_n do_v exercise_v this_o priestly_a office_n in_o the_o oblation_n of_o himself_o to_o god_n upon_o the_o cross._n 1._o that_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o primary_n respect_n a_o to_o god_n and_o not_o to_o we_o which_o appear_v from_o the_o first_o institution_n 1._o of_o a_o highpriest_n mention_v by_o the_o apostle_n hebr._n 5._o 1._o for_o every_o

the_o worship_v of_o god_n do_v or_o let_v crellius_n tell_v we_o b_o what_o sense_n the_o propitiate_a god_n will_v bear_v if_o all_o that_o the_o highpriest_n have_v to_o do_v do_v immediate_o respect_v the_o people_n nay_o he_o say_v not_o long_o after_o that_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a office_n of_o a_o highpriest_n to_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o sinner_n with_o god_n and_o to_o take_v care_n that_o they_o may_v find_v he_o kind_a and_o propitious_a and_o not_o angry_a or_o displease_v in_o what_o sense_n god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v move_v by_o the_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v not_o here_o our_o business_n to_o discuss_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o purpose_n that_o they_o be_v institute_v with_o a_o respect_n to_o god_n so_o as_o to_o procure_v his_o favour_n and_o divert_v his_o wrath_n in_o which_o sense_n the_o priest_n be_v so_o often_o in_o the_o levitical_a law_n say_v c_o by_o the_o offering_n up_o of_o sacrifice_n to_o expiate_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n but_o crellius_n say_v this_o ought_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o though_o god_n by_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v divert_v from_o his_o 3._o anger_n and_o incline_v to_o pardon_v which_o be_v a_o plain_a contradiction_n not_o only_o to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n but_o to_o the_o instance_n that_o be_v record_v therein_o as_o when_o aaron_n be_v bid_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o plague_n to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o the_o people_n for_o there_o be_v wrath_n go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o stand_v between_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a 46._o and_o the_o plague_n be_v stay_v be_v not_o god_n anger_n then_o divert_v here_o by_o the_o make_v this_o atonement_n the_o like_a instance_n we_o read_v 48._o d_o in_o david_n time_n that_o by_o the_o offering_n burnt-offering_n etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n be_v entreat_v for_o the_o land_n and_o the_o plague_n be_v stay_v from_o israel_n by_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o the_o primary_n 25._o intention_n of_o such_o sacrifice_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o office_n of_o the_o priest_n who_o offer_v they_o do_v immediate_o respect_v the_o atone_a god_n but_o yet_o crellius_n urge_v this_o can_v be_v say_v of_o all_o or_o of_o the_o most_o proper_a expiatory_a sacrifice_n but_o we_o see_v it_o say_v of_o more_o than_o the_o mere_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n as_o appoint_v by_o the_o law_n viz._n of_o burnt-offering_n and_o peace-offering_n and_o incense_v in_o the_o example_n mention_v so_o that_o these_o levitical_a sacrifice_n e_o do_v all_o respect_n the_o atone_a god_n although_o in_o some_o particular_a case_n different_a sacrifice_n be_v to_o be_v offer_v for_o it_o be_v say_v the_o burnt-offering_a be_v to_o make_v atonement_n for_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o 7._o sin_n and_o trespass-offering_n except_v those_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v institute_v in_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n sovereignty_n over_o they_o a_o and_o presence_n among_o they_o as_o the_o daily_a sacrifice_n the_o meat_n and_o drink_n offering_n or_o such_o as_o be_v mere_o occasional_a etc._n etc._n thus_o it_o be_v say_v that_o aaron_n and_o his_o son_n be_v appoint_v to_o make_v a_o 49._o atonement_n for_o israel_n so_o that_o as_o grotius_n observe_v out_o of_o philo_n the_o highpriest_n be_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n by_o 1._o who_o man_n may_v propitiate_v god_n and_o god_n dispense_v his_o favour_n to_o man_n but_o the_o mean_n whereby_o he_o do_v procure_v favoursto_fw-la man_n be_v by_o atone_a god_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o be_v by_o his_o office_n to_o offer_v to_o he_o we_o be_v now_o to_o consider_v how_o far_o this_o hold_v in_o reference_n to_o christ_n for_o who_o sake_n the_o b_o apostle_n bring_v in_o these_o word_n and_o sure_o will_v not_o have_v mention_v this_o as_o the_o primary_n office_n of_o a_o highpriest_n in_o order_n to_o the_o prove_v christ_n to_o be_v our_o highpriest_n after_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n than_o the_o aaronical_a be_v unless_o he_o have_v agree_v with_o he_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o office_n and_o exceed_v he_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o performance_n for_o the_o apostle_n both_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a and_o not_o a_o bare_a metaphorical_a highpriest_n and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o capacity_n highpriest_n he_o very_o far_o exceed_v the_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n but_o how_o can_v that_o possible_o be_v if_o he_o fail_v in_o the_o primary_n c_o office_n of_o a_o highpriest_n viz._n in_o offer_v up_o gift_n and_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n if_o his_o office_n as_o highpriest_n do_v primary_o respect_v man_n when_o the_o office_n of_o the_o aaronical_a priest_n do_v respect_n god_n to_o avoid_v this_o crellius_n make_v these_o word_n to_o be_v only_o a_o allusion_n to_o the_o legal_a priesthood_n and_o some_o kind_n of_o similitude_n 3._o between_o christ_n and_o the_o aaronical_a priest_n but_o it_o be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o allusion_n that_o the_o apostle_n design_n to_o prove_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o highpriest_n by_o it_o and_o which_o be_v of_o the_o great_a force_n he_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o christ_n have_v somewhat_o to_o offer_v from_o hence_o for_o every_o highpriest_n be_v ordain_v to_o offer_v gift_n d_o 2._o and_o sacrifice_n wherefore_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o this_o man_n have_v somewhat_o also_o to_o offer_v this_o be_v that_o which_o he_o look_v at_o as_o the_o peculiar_a and_o distinguish_a character_n of_o a_o highpriest_n for_o intercede_v for_o other_o and_o have_v compassion_n upon_o they_o may_v be_v do_v by_o other_o beside_o the_o highpriest_n but_o this_o be_v that_o without_o which_o he_o can_v not_o make_v good_a his_o name_n what_o order_n soever_o he_o be_v of_o if_o christ_n then_o have_v no_o proper_a sacrifice_n to_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n to_o what_o purpose_n do_v the_o apostle_n so_o industrious_o set_v himself_o to_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v our_o highpriest_n when_o he_o must_v needs_o fail_v in_o the_o main_a thing_n according_a to_o his_o own_o assertion_n how_o easy_a e_o have_v it_o be_v for_o the_o jew_n to_o have_v answer_v all_o the_o apostle_n argument_n concern_v the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n if_o he_o have_v be_v such_o a_o priest_n and_o make_v no_o other_o oblation_n than_o crellius_n allow_v he_o when_o the_o apostle_n prove_v against_o the_o jew_n that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o they_o shall_v still_o retain_v
