principality_n and_o power_n such_o a_o priest_n as_o this_o must_v bring_v we_o that_o be_v base_a and_o sinful_a wretch_n unto_o god_n in_o he_o we_o must_v be_v sanctify_v in_o he_o we_o must_v

of_o the_o earth_n shall_v challenge_v unto_o themselves_o to_o be_v priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n yea_o that_o such_o silly_a ass_n as_o be_v scarce_o fit_a to_o keep_v swine_n will_v yet_o have_v that_o office_n that_o the_o glory_n honour_n and_o power_n of_o be_v above_o the_o angel_n let_v all_o man_n judge_v now_o of_o this_o conclusion_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n

another_o notable_a difference_n between_o the_o old_a priesthood_n and_o the_o new_a that_o those_o former_a do_v minister_v in_o earth_n in_o a_o tabernacle_n make_v with_o hand_n which_o have_v

sanctuary_n for_o why_o this_o priesthood_n be_v heavenly_a and_o eternal_a his_o tabernacle_n must_v be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o same_o and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o priest_n while_o those_o priest_n do_v stand_v which_o be_v after_o the_o law_n hebr._n 8._o 4._o for_o although_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o priest_n in_o deed_n when_o he_o be_v

when_o it_o be_v a_o slay_a sacrifice_n be_v from_o above_o and_o so_o though_o he_o be_v in_o earth_n yet_o the_o whole_a fruit_n of_o his_o work_n be_v in_o heaven_n for_o he_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n be_v a_o priest_n even_o then_o in_o heaven_n when_o he_o be_v slay_v upon_o earth_n the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n to_o purge_v away_o sin_n be_v not_o of_o the_o

as_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o life_n and_o whosoever_o do_v eat_v of_o it_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o yet_o it_o have_v not_o this_o life_n of_o itself_o but_o from_o the_o godhead_n likewise_o the_o blood_n be_v able_a to_o purge_v away_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v also_o god_n it_o be_v also_o say_v 1._o cor._n 15._o the_o first_o man_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthly_a the_o second_o man_n be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n heavenly_a wherefore_o be_v he_o call_v a_o man_n from_o heaven_n heavenly_a be_v it_o because_o his_o flesh_n be_v from_o heaven_n curse_a be_v he_o which_o so_o hold_v no_o it_o be_v because_o all_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n which_o be_v in_o his_o manhood_n to_o redeem_v the_o world_n be_v from_o heaven_n we_o see_v then_o that_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o earth_n the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v in_o heaven_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o priesthood_n nor_o in_o the_o
