once into the holy Place having obtained eternal Redemption for us XXII Christ only makes the Prayers of the Saints to come up into the Nostrils of God through his own Mediation as sweet Incense and no other Prayer must be made to God but such only as the High-Priest directeth us in XXIII Christ's Death makes an Atonement for all guilty Sinners that flie to the spiritual City of Refuge not for the Man slayer only but for the Adulterer Drunkard and Murderer also all whoever they be that take hold of God in Christ by a lively Faith are set at liberty and for ever delivered from the Avenger of Blood and all spiritual Thraldom whatsoever XXIV Jesus also that he might sanctify the People with his own Blood suffered without the Gate that so we might from thence go forth unto him without the Camp bearing his Reproach Type I. THe Jewish High-Priest was taken of the Tribe of Levi and so was after the Order of Aaron II. The Jewish High-Priest was made without an Oath and after the Law of the carnal Commandment III. The High-Priests under the Law were Men that had Infirmities and needed to offer up Sacrifices for their own Sins IV. The Priests under the Law offered up Sacrifices of Sin continually Every Priest standeth daily ministring or offering often the same Sacrifices which cannot take away Sins V. The Priests under the Law offered up the Bodies of Beasts and it was impossible that the Blood of Bulls and of Goats could take away Sin or purge the Conscience or make the Comers thereunto perfect Hence 't is said there was a Remembrance of Sin every Year VI. The High-Priest under the Law had a Successor there were many because they were not suffered to continue by reason of Death VII The Priest under the Law and the Sacrifices were two things VIII The Priest under the Law entred into the holy Place with the Blood of Bulls and Calves IX The Priest under the Law offered Sacrifices only for the Jewish Nation or Israel according to the Flesh. Disparity I. CHrist sprung of the Tribe of Judah and not after the Order of Aaron but after the Order of Melchisedec Wherefore the Priesthood being changed there is of necessity a Change of the whole Law II. Christ was made a Priest with an Oath By so much was Jesus made a Surety of a better Covenant III. But Christ is an High-Priest without Infirmity For the Law maketh Men High-Priests which have Infirmity but the Word of the Oath which was since the Law maketh the Son who is consecrated for evermore For such an High-Priest became us who is holy harmless undefiled separate from Sinners and made higher than the Heavens IV. Christ having offered up but one Sacrifice for Sin sate down at the right-hand of God Nor yet that he should offer himself often as the High-Priest entred into the holy Place For then must he have often suffered since the Foundation of the World but now at the end of the World hath he appeared to take away Sin by the Sacrifice of himself Christ once suffer'd to bear the Sins of many c. By one Offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified V. Christ offered up his own Body which was the Antitype of all those Legal Sacrifices By which we are sanctified through the offering up the Body of Christ once for all Those Sacrifices cleansed only ceremonially The Law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better Hope did Christ's Blood who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God purges the Conscience from dead Works to serve the Living God The Blood of Christ cleanses us from all Sin VI. Christ because he continueth for ever hath an unchangeable Priesthood He hath none needeth none can have none to succeed him in the Priesthood seeing he ever liveth and hath taken the whole Work upon himself being infinitely able and sufficient to discharge the whole Trust reposed in him VII Christ is both Priest and Sacrifice The Divinity or eternal Spirit offered up the Humanity as an acceptable Sacrifice unto God VIII Christ entred into the Holiest by his own Blood having obtained eternal Redemption for us IX Christ offered up a Sacrifice both for Jews and Gentiles He is a Propitiation for our Sins and not for ours only but for the Sins of the whole World Corollaries I. FRom hence we may learn that without the Blood of Christ offered up as a propitiatory Sacrifice to God there is no Remission of Sin nor eternal Life God's Wrath is only appeased by a Sacrifice and this was clearly hinted from the beginning II. From hence we may learn how far the Priesthood of Christ and the Gospel-Covenant doth excell that of the Law moreover the End and Design of God in the one and in the other Many things have been briefly touched wherein the great Differences do consist some of which for the sake of the Weak I shall reiterate in this place The Priest under the Law was a mortal Man Christ God-Man Those Priests were Sinners themselves and needed a Sacrifice for their own Sins Christ was without Sin and needed no Offering for himself Christ offered up his own Body on the Tree Those Sacrifices were the Shadow the Sacrifice of Christ is the Substance of them The Priest and Sacrifice is the Type Christ the Antitype Those Sacrifices could not take away Sin nor purge the Conscience Christ's Sacrifice doth both III. Moreover this reprehends such as slight and invalidate the meritorious Sacrifice of Christ and account his Blood to have no more virtue nor efficacy in it to Justification than the Blood of any godly Man IV. It also calls upon all faithful Christians to study the Nature of Christ's Priesthood more and more much of the Mystery of the two Covenants consisteth in Priesthood and Sacrifice there is something in it hard to be understood V. This greatly detects the Ignorance and abominable Error of the Romish Church that continues to offer up fresh Sacrifices for Sin as if Christ had not offered up a sufficient Sacrifice once for all or that he needeth Competitors and Help to atone and make Peace between God and Sinners VI. It may also confute their blasphemous Notion concerning Christ's Priesthood as if it passed from him unto them whereas nothing can be more plainly asserted than his continuing a Priest for ever His Priesthood is unchangeable exercised in his own Person as a principal part of the Glory of his Office and on the discharge of it depends the Churches Preservation and Stability He ever lives to make Intercession for us And every Believer may from hence go with confidence unto Him in all their Concerns for Relief and Succour who Himself is said to be touched with the feeling of our Infirmities But this of Christ's offering once for all and continuing
