7.26_o heb._n 7.26_o again_o the_o quality_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v these_o that_o he_o be_v holy_a innocent_a unspotted_a separate_v from_o sinner_n and_o exalt_v far_o above_o the_o heaven_n which_o point_n can_v belong_v to_o any_o other_o they_o to_o jesus_n christ_n because_o all_o man_n he_o only_o except_v be_v bear_v and_o bring_v forth_o of_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v defile_v &_o sinful_a as_o their_o parent_n be_v and_o therefore_o uncapable_a of_o the_o priesthood_n again_o the_o priest_n must_v be_v eternal_a and_o for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n 7.3_o heb._n 7.3_o that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o it_o be_v expound_v by_o the_o apostle_n without_o father_n without_o mother_n without_o

he_o need_v not_o daily_a to_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n for_o his_o own_o sin_n as_o the_o priest_n of_o levi_n do_v need_v from_o which_o necessity_n there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v be_v free_v and_o deliver_v but_o only_o jesus_n christ_n insomuch_o as_o by_o reason_n of_o sin_n abide_v in_o they_o and_o of_o infirmity_n wherewith_o they_o be_v enclose_v and_o compass_v they_o have_v need_v continual_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o ask_v he_o pardon_v for_o the_o same_o again_o if_o any_o other_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o estate_n of_o the_o priesthood_n than_o jesus_n christ_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v priest_n after_o one_o of_o these_o two_o order_n to_o wit_n of_o levi_n or_o of_o melchisedech_n but_o they_o can_v be_v after_o the_o order_n of_o levi_n because_o all_o the_o ancient_a ceremony_n yea_o and_o the_o law_n itself_o that_o command_v they_o be_v now_o abolish_v so_o it_o shall_v remain_v that_o they_o must_v be_v after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n 110._o psal_n 110._o but_o that_o be_v no_o more_o possible_a they_o the_o other_o because_o they_o shall_v be_v priest_n for_o ever_o which_o be_v not_o incident_a to_o any_o mortal_a man_n again_o the_o priest_n must_v be_v more_o worthy_a &_o honourable_a than_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o he_o do_v offer_v for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o whatsoever_o it_o be_v can_v please_v god_n but_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o that_o offer_v and_o it_o be_v the_o reason_n allege_v by_o the_o apostle_n 11._o heb._n 11._o why_o abel_n by_o faith_n do_v offer_v unto_o god_n a_o more_o excellent_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n meaning_n thereby_o that_o the_o price_n and_o worthiness_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n proceed_v hence_o that_o he_o which_o offer_v be_v faithful_a be_v by_o faith_n acceptable_a to_o god_n whereupon_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o if_o the_o mass_n priest_n be_v true_a sacrifice_a priest_n and_o do_v offer_v jesus_n christ_n in_o their_o mass_n as_o they_o pretend_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o more_o worthiness_n and_o honour_n than_o he_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o by_o their_o credit_n and_o favour_n last_o whosoever_o be_v priest_n by_o the_o same_o mean_a be_v become_v mediator_n between_o god_n &_o man_n for_o the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v to_o procure_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o reconcile_v man_n unto_o god_n so_o if_o the_o massepriest_n can_v be_v sacrifice_a priest_n they_o shall_v also_o be_v mediator_n which_o they_o can_v be_v for_o even_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n so_o there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v by_o these_o proof_n that_o the_o name_n the_o title_n and_o dignity_n of_o priesthood_n can_v belong_v to_o any_o other_o then_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o without_o great_a and_o monstrous_a blasphemy_n that_o we_o can_v attribute_v the_o same_o to_o any_o other_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v he_o only_o that_o can_v
