the_o lord_n so_o gospel-minister_n be_v call_v priest_n and_o levite_n ver_fw-la 21._o see_v the_o geneva_n note_n e_o f_o g_o h._n on_o the_o place_n quest_n here_o than_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v whether_o gospel-minister_n may_v be_v call_v priest_n answ_n in_o the_o popish_a sense_n they_o may_v not_o for_o the_o papist_n call_v they_o priest_n because_o they_o say_v they_o offer_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o mass_n for_o quick_a and_o dead_a but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o that_o one_o only_a sacrifice_n which_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v when_o he_o offer_v up_o himself_o once_o for_o all_o therefore_o their_o call_a minister_n priest_n on_o such_o a_o account_n be_v erroneous_a and_o abominable_a and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o word_n priest_n be_v just_o become_v a_o word_n of_o contempt_n and_o reproach_n as_o the_o word_n baal_n which_o at_o first_o be_v and_o may_v be_v use_v for_o the_o true_a god_n but_o become_v in_o common_a and_o ordinary_a speech_n the_o name_n of_o idol_n the_o lord_n refuse_v that_o title_n hos_fw-la 2.16_o thou_o shall_v no_o more_o call_v i_o baali_n my_o lord_n but_o thou_o shall_v call_v i_o ishi_n or_o as_o the_o word_n bishop_n which_o be_v a_o scripture_n word_n and_o signify_v a_o overseer_n any_o elder_n of_o a_o church_n but_o have_v be_v so_o long_o abuse_v to_o signify_v a_o antichristian_a order_n of_o man_n and_o spiritual_a usurper_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n it_o be_v now_o just_o become_v a_o word_n of_o contempt_n and_o reproach_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sit_v to_o call_v a_o gospel-minister_n a_o bishop_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n be_v the_o word_n catholic_n which_o in_o its_o proper_a signification_n and_o its_o first_o use_n may_v be_v innocent_a and_o inoffensive_a but_o be_v become_v the_o name_n of_o distinction_n whereby_o the_o papist_n do_v distinguish_v themselves_o from_o other_o christian_n that_o be_v more_o reform_v than_o they_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o call_v ourselves_o catholic_n as_o they_o do_v some_o allege_v that_o the_o word_n priest_n come_v from_o the_o saxon_a preister_n and_o that_o from_o the_o greek_a presbyter_n and_o so_o signify_v no_o more_o but_o a_o elder_a but_o the_o signification_n of_o word_n be_v not_o rule_v by_o the_o notation_n or_o etymology_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o suppose_v this_o word_n priest_n have_v some_o good_a sense_n at_o first_o yet_o be_v in_o common_a speech_n use_v to_o signify_v one_o that_o offer_v sacrifice_n it_o be_v therefore_o not_o sit_v to_o be_v use_v concern_v gospel-minister_n unless_o with_o some_o limitation_n and_o explication_n as_o if_o we_o call_v they_o antitypical_a priest_n or_o the_o like_a the_o analogy_n lie_v chief_o in_o this_o that_o as_o the_o priest_n of_o old_a do_v minister_v to_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o house_n under_o the_o law_n so_o do_v gospel-officer_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o church_n 3._o the_o priest_n be_v type_n of_o all_o believer_n rev._n 1.6_o and_o he_o have_v make_v we_o king_n and_o priest_n to_o god_n and_o his_o father_n so_o likewise_o 1_o pet._n 2.9_o where_o he_o speak_v to_o all_o believer_n and_o say_v but_o you_o be_v a_o choose_a generation_n a_o royal_a priesthood_n etc._n etc._n all_o believer_n be_v holy_a priest_n unto_o god_n the_o analogy_n lie_v chief_o in_o this_o that_o as_o the_o priest_n of_o old_a do_v offer_v legal_a sacrifice_n so_o believer_n offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o gospel_n the_o apostle_n so_o explain_v it_o 1_o pet._n 2.5_o you_o also_o as_o lively_a stone_n be_v build_v up_o a_o spiritual_a house_n a_o holy_a priesthood_n to_o offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n acceptable_a to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n these_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n be_v prayer_n and_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o universal_a obedience_n to_o all_o god_n commandment_n these_o be_v spiritual_a acceptable_a sacrifice_n by_o jesus_n christ_n which_o believer_n offer_v up_o now_o as_o the_o priest_n do_v typical_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n we_o see_v then_o that_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n be_v type_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o gospel-minister_n and_o of_o all_o believer_n under_o the_o gospel_n quest_n 2._o how_o or_o wherein_o do_v the_o priest_n typify_v christ_n &_o c_o this_o be_v a_o large_a field_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v how_o and_o wherein_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n do_v shadow_n forth_o the_o thing_n relate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n under_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o in_o four_o thing_n 1._o in_o their_o personal_a qualification_n and_o other_o ritual_a observation_n belong_v to_o this_o rank_n and_o order_n of_o man_n 2._o in_o their_o apparel_n 3._o in_o their_o consecration_n 4._o in_o their_o priestly_a ministration_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n 1._o in_o their_o personal_a qualification_n and_o special_a observation_n belong_v to_o that_o order_n of_o priesthood_n some_o whereof_o do_v fit_v they_o for_o the_o office_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v rule_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o they_o in_o their_o office_n there_o be_v sundry_a legal_a and_o typical_a qualification_n and_o observation_n require_v in_o those_o rank_n and_o order_n of_o ãâã_d there_o be_v certain_a common_a and_o moral_a qualification_n which_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o seek_v a_o typical_a accommodation_n of_o as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v know_v and_o godly_a man_n as_o gospel-minister_n ought_v to_o be_v but_o there_o be_v sundry_a other_o qualification_n which_o have_v a_o typical_a respect_n which_o be_v partly_o to_o fit_v they_o for_o their_o office_n and_o partly_o the_o rule_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o they_o in_o that_o office_n and_o order_n i_o put_v they_o all_o together_o for_o the_o great_a plainness_n and_o brevity_n sake_n though_o they_o may_v be_v rank_v under_o two_o distinct_a head_n 1._o the_o priest_n must_v be_v take_v from_o among_o his_o brethren_n 2._o he_o be_v subject_a to_o common_a infirmity_n 3._o yet_o free_a from_o gross_a deformity_n and_o blemish_n 4._o call_v of_o god_n he_o must_v be_v call_v to_o this_o office_n 5._o he_o must_v abstain_v from_o wine_n he_o must_v drink_v no_o wine_n 6._o he_o must_v not_o marry_v a_o widow_n 7._o nor_o mourn_v for_o the_o dead_a these_o thing_n do_v point_n out_o something_o relate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o gospel_n minister_n 1._o the_o priest_n must_v be_v take_v from_o among_o his_o brethren_n from_o among_o the_o jew_n so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o apply_v it_o as_o have_v something_o of_o mystery_n in_o reference_n hereunto_o heb._n 5.1_o for_o every_o high_a priest_n take_v from_o among_o man_n be_v ordain_v in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n he_o be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o among_o themselves_o and_o true_o so_o be_v jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v not_o take_v from_o among_o angel_n but_o from_o among_o man_n he_o take_v not_o on_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n but_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n heb._n 2.16_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v a_o shadow_n and_o a_o intimation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o be_v of_o our_o nature_n of_o humane_a nature_n for_o otherwise_o he_o have_v not_o be_v a_o fit_a mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n if_o he_o have_v not_o partake_v of_o our_o nature_n he_o can_v not_o have_v redeem_v we_o 2._o as_o the_o priest_n be_v take_v from_o among_o his_o brethren_n so_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o common_a infirmity_n of_o his_o brethren_n he_o have_v as_o be_v say_v of_o the_o prophet_n elijah_n the_o same_o passion_n and_o infirmity_n that_o his_o brethren_n have_v this_o be_v apply_v to_o jesus_n christ_n who_o take_v upon_o he_o not_o only_o our_o nature_n but_o the_o sinless_a infirmity_n of_o pain_n hunger_n weariness_n and_o other_o suffering_n which_o we_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o so_o the_o apostle_n speak_v for_o we_o have_v not_o a_o high_a priest_n which_o can_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o feel_n of_o our_o infirmity_n but_o be_v in_o all_o point_v tempt_v as_o we_o be_v yet_o without_o sin_n hebr._n 4.15_o the_o next_o word_n after_o the_o text_n so_o in_o heb._n 5.1_o 2._o for_o 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 who_o can_v have_v compassion_n on_o the_o ignorant_a and_o on_o they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v also_o compass_v with_o infirmity_n have_v experience_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o same_o infirmity_n in_o himself_o he_o know_v how_o to_o have_v compassion_n on_o other_o this_o relate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v a_o merciful_a high_a priest_n expose_v to_o the_o same_o temptation_n and_o passion_n with_o we_o though_o without_o sin_n
323._o 5._o the_o sin-offering_n buth_n the_o bullock_n and_o the_o goat_n must_v be_v burn_v without_o the_o camp_n ver_fw-la 27._o this_o also_o be_v explain_v upon_o the_o sin-offering_a leu._n cap._n 4._o pag._n 321_o 322._o that_o christ_n suffer_v without_o the_o city_n as_o a_o malefactor_n with_o who_o we_o also_o shall_v suffer_v bear_v our_o reproach_n and_o be_v content_a to_o be_v account_v as_o malefactor_n yea_o as_o the_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d the_o offscouring_n and_o sweep_v of_o the_o world_n 6._o on_o this_o great_a day_n of_o atonement_n be_v the_o jubilee_n to_o be_v proclaim_v by_o sound_n of_o trumpet_n leu._n 25.9_o this_o speak_v that_o after_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v cause_v the_o trumpet_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o sound_v to_o publish_v and_o proclaim_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o our_o salvation_n throughout_o the_o world_n isai_n 61.1_o 2._o so_o that_o this_o day_n of_o atonement_n be_v like_o that_o famous_a week_n prophesy_v of_o by_o daniel_n cap._n 9_o he_o shall_v confirm_v the_o covenant_n with_o many_o for_o one_o week_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o week_n messiah_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o this_o week_n be_v interpret_v by_o some_o concern_v that_o seven_o year_n the_o first_o part_n whereof_o christ_n preach_v suffer_v in_o the_o middle_n

publish_v to_o all_o the_o world_n it_o be_v the_o performance_n of_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n that_o be_v the_o foundation_n and_o groundwork_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o jubilee_n be_v proclaim_v upon_o the_o day_n of_o atonement_n 7._o and_o last_o this_o day_n of_o atonement_n be_v a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n and_o afflict_v their_o soul_n by_o a_o everlasting_a ordinance_n ver_fw-la 29_o to_o the_o end_n day_n of_o humiliation_n be_v day_n of_o atonement_n and_o reconciliation_n not_o that_o our_o humiliation_n merit_n or_o deserve_v any_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o the_o afflict_a our_o soul_n that_o do_v make_v atonement_n but_o it_o fit_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o atonement_n humiliation_n prepare_v the_o soul_n for_o christ_n and_o make_v it_o capable_a to_o receive_v the_o mercy_n and_o the_o pardon_n that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v and_o that_o god_n be_v willing_a and_o ready_a to_o bestow_v upon_o all_o that_o will_v receive_v it_o by_o faith_n the_o manifold_a sinfulness_n of_o the_o popish_a holy_a day_n discover_v in_o sundry_a reason_n against_o they_o and_o the_o most_o material_a objection_n answer_v among_o the_o several_a way_n wherein_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n work_v out_o and_o vent_v itself_o this_o be_v one_o the_o observe_v of_o day_n and_o time_n wherein_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v abound_v fill_v the_o calendar_n with_o superstitious_a holy_a day_n many_o of_o which_o be_v still_o retain_v and_o continue_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n but_o let_v these_o reason_n against_o they_o be_v consider_v reason_n 1._o nothing_o can_v be_v holy_a to_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v not_o make_v holy_a by_o the_o lord_n but_o god_n the_o lord_n of_o time_n have_v not_o sanctify_v nor_o set_v apart_o these_o time_n we_o find_v indeed_o before_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v institute_v yea_o before_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n that_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o gen._n 2.2_o 3._o and_o therefore_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o weekly_a sabbath_n one_o day_n in_o seven_o be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a but_o other_o holy_a day_n be_v thing_n which_o the_o lord_n never_o command_v and_o which_o never_o come_v into_o his_o heart_n and_o of_o which_o he_o will_v say_v at_o the_o great_a day_n who_o require_v these_o thing_n at_o your_o hand_n the_o strength_n of_o which_o argument_n will_v appear_v the_o more_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o miserable_a poor_a shift_n it_o put_v the_o patron_n of_o these_o holy_a day_n to_o when_o they_o go_v about_o to_o grapple_v with_o it_o 1._o sometime_o they_o be_v so_o confound_v in_o themselves_o as_o to_o deny_v that_o they_o place_n holiness_n in_o these_o day_n the_o church_n keep_v they_o they_o say_v not_o as_o more_o holy_a and_o sacred_a than_o other_o day_n and_o part_n of_o divine_a worship_n but_o only_o for_o order_n and_o policy_n so_o bishop_n
