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 1._o a_o primary_n respect_n to_o god_n and_o not_o to_o we_o which_o appear_v from_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o a_o highpriest_n mention_v by_o the_o apostle_n hebr._n 5._o 1._o for_o every_o highpriest_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 id_fw-la est_fw-la say_v

the_o thing_n which_o appertain_v to_o the_o worship_v and_o propitiate_a god_n we_o desire_v no_o more_o but_o that_o the_o propitiate_a god_n may_v as_o immediate_o be_v say_v to_o respect_v he_o as_o the_o worship_v of_o god_n do_v or_o let_v crellius_n tell_v we_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 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 3._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 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 46._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 48._o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a 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 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 25._o 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 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 fââ¦_n 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 iâ_n the_o example_n mention_v so_o that_o these_o levitical_a sacrifice_n 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 waâ_n to_o make_v atonement_n for_o they_o as_o well_o as_o thâ_n 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 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 oâ_n 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 werâ_n appoint_v to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o israel_n 49._o so_o that_o as_o grotius_n observe_v out_o of_o philâ_n the_o highpriest_n be_v a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n by_o who_o man_n may_v propitiate_v 1._o 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 favour_n to_o man_n be_v by_o atone_a god_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o hââ¦_n be_v by_o his_o office_n to_o offer_v to_o he_o wââ¦_n be_v now_o to_o consider_v how_o far_o this_o holâ_n in_o reference_n to_o christ_n for_o who_o sake_n tââ¦_n apostle_n bring_v in_o these_o word_n and_o suââ¦_n will_v not_o have_v mention_v this_o as_o the_o prâ_n marry_fw-mi office_n of_o a_o highpriest_n in_o order_n to_o âhe_n prove_v christ_n to_o be_v our_o highpriest_n âfter_o a_o more_o excellent_a manner_n than_o the_o ââ¦ronical_a be_v unless_o he_o have_v agree_v with_o âim_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o office_n and_o excee_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 highpriest_n ãâã_d 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 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 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 3._o similitude_n 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 and_o sacrifice_n wherefore_o 3._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 distinguishiââ¦_n character_n of_o a_o highpriest_n for_o intercede_v for_o other_o and_o have_v compassion_n upoâ_n they_o may_v be_v do_v by_o other_o beside_o thââ¦_n 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 chriââ¦_n then_o have_v no_o proper_a sacrifice_n to_o offer_v upto_o god_n to_o what_o purpose_n do_v the_o apostle_n sâ_n industrious_o set_v himself_o to_o prove_v that_o hâ_n be_v our_o highpriest_n when_o he_o must_v needs_o faiââ¦_n in_o the_o main_a thing_n according_a to_o his_o own_o assertion_n how_o easy_a 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 noâ_n 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 the_o moysaicall_a dispensation_n because_o now_o they_o have_v a_o more_o excellent_a highpriest_n than_o the_o aaronical_a be_v and_o make_v use_v of_o that_o character_n of_o a_o highpriest_n that_o he_o be_v one_o take_v out_o from_o among_o man_n ãâã_d thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n to_o offer_v gift_n and_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n well_o say_v the_o jew_n we_o accept_v of_o this_o character_n but_o how_o do_v yoâ_n prove_v concern_v christ_n that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o do_v he_o offer_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n foâ_n sin_n to_o god_n upon_o earth_n as_o our_o highpriest_n do_v no_o say_v crellius_n his_o suffering_n be_v ââ¦ely_o a_o preparation_n for_o his_o priesthood_n in_o heaâân_n but_o do_v he_o then_o offer_v up_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n in_o heaven_n yes_o say_v crellius_n he_o make_v a_o oblation_n there_o but_o be_v that_o oblation_n such_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n for_o sin_n as_o our_o highpriest_n offer_v yes_o âaith_o crellius_n it_o may_v be_v call_v so_o by_o way_n of_o âllusion_n well_o then_o say_v they_o you_o grant_v that_o your_o jesus_n be_v only_o a_o highpriest_n by_o way_n of_o allusion_n which_o be_v against_o your_o first_o design_n to_o prove_v viz._n that_o he_o be_v a_o true_a highpriest_n and_o more_o excellent_a than_o we_o but_o suppose_v it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o allusion_n do_v he_o make_v any_o oblation_n to_o
