and_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n but_o let_v we_o see_v further_o what_o m_n c._n say_v he_o plead_v for_o the_o dumb_a minister_n by_o compare_v they_o still_o with_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharise_n also_o with_o the_o priest_n and_o teacher_n in_o the_o old_a law_n with_o the_o chief_a priest_n at_o christ_n come_n and_o with_o unsufficient_a and_o unable_a magistrate_n he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o have_v as_o lawful_a a_o call_n and_o ministry_n as_o any_o of_o these_o the_o scribe_n say_v he_o teach_v untrue_o &_o be_v deceive_v in_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o religion_n &_o yet_o be_v to_o be_v hear_v of_o the_o people_n therefore_o our_o dumb_a minister_n be_v as_o lawful_a minister_n as_o they_o likewise_o he_o say_v of_o the_o priest_n &_o of_o magistrate_n that_o some_o of_o the_o priest_n be_v dumbedog_n &_o some_o false_a teacher_n and_o some_o have_v not_o so_o lawful_a calling_n also_o that_o some_o magistrate_n be_v not_o lawful_a &_o sufficient_a magistrate_n and_o yet_o neither_o the_o scribe_n nor_o the_o priest_n nor_o the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o be_v reject_v as_o no_o minister_n nor_o magistrate_n what_o true_a or_o false_a doctrine_n there_o be_v in_o all_o this_o we_o will_v show_v by_o and_o by_o but_o grant_v it_o true_a which_o he_o say_v of_o the_o scribe_n priest_n and_o magistrate_n namely_o that_o they_o be_v so_o evil_a as_o he_o say_v or_o teach_v such_o false_a doctrine_n yet_o he_o himself_o have_v give_v the_o answer_n before_o to_o condemn_v himself_o for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o scrybe_n be_v not_o to_o be_v hear_v but_o in_o that_o they_o teach_v truth_n and_o that_o our_o dumb_a minister_n be_v to_o be_v hear_v and_o receive_v so_o far_o as_o they_o can_v give_v we_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o christ._n now_o it_o

most_o of_o they_o levites_n open_o call_v and_o authorise_v to_o preach_v by_o the_o elder_n and_o people_n in_o the_o synagognes_n and_o sure_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o vain_a exception_n which_o master_n cartwright_n make_v of_o the_o high_a priest_n 28._o that_o he_o be_v make_v a_o yearly_a officer_n and_o come_v in_o by_o simony_n into_o his_o office_n for_o eleazar_n be_v make_v high_a priest_n while_o aaron_n the_o high_a priest_n yet_o live_v 35._o and_o zadok_n be_v make_v high_a priest_n 42._o and_o abiathar_n and_o his_o son_n put_v from_o the_o priesthood_n 30._o when_o as_o yet_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o priesthood_n pertain_v by_o the_o law_n unto_o abiathar_n and_o his_o house_n but_o necessity_n and_o just_a occasion_n do_v oftentimes_o make_v change_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o yet_o no_o corruption_n nor_o abuse_n come_v thereby_o wherefore_o for_o answer_v i_o say_v that_o the_o priesthood_n be_v not_o make_v a_o yearly_a office_n but_o that_o by_o course_n every_o year_n two_o priest_n do_v execute_v the_o office_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v tolerable_a by_o the_o law_n see_v that_o if_o one_o priest_n shall_v be_v sick_a or_o let_v by_o some_o great_a occafion_n the_o other_o may_v be_v in_o his_o stead_n as_o we_o show_v before_o that_o eeleazar_n be_v choose_v high_a priest_n 13._o while_o aaron_n yet_o live_v and_o zadok_v in_o abiathars_n stead_n and_o yet_o be_v there_o not_o two_o high_a priest_n in_o the_o office_n at_o once_o but_o only_o one_o at_o once_o be_v to_o execute_v the_o office_n also_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v much_o doubt_n and_o controversy_n to_o which_o of_o the_o priest_n the_o priesthood_n do_v belong_v as_o also_o we_o may_v read_v in_o josephus_n and_o therefore_o two_o chief_o stand_v for_o it_o there_o be_v two_o choose_v to_o it_o and_o because_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o suffer_v two_o at_o once_o to_o be_v in_o the_o office_n they_o do_v succeed_v one_o another_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o office_n again_o see_v they_o be_v of_o the_o son_n of_o aaron_n and_o call_v after_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n 4._o no_o doubt_n their_o call_n be_v lawful_a and_o good_a otherwise_o if_o any_o at_o that_o time_n have_v be_v lawful_a high_a priest_n and_o yet_o not_o lawful_o call_v as_o be_v aaron_n than_o the_o apostle_n will_v not_o have_v set_v down_o this_o for_o a_o general_a truth_n that_o no_o man_n take_v this_o honour_n unto_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n neither_o let_v he_o here_o shift_v off_o our_o answer_n by_o his_o fond_a distinction_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o of_o a_o lawful_a priest_n which_o before_o be_v refute_v as_o for_o simony_n wherewith_o he_o charge_v the_o high_a priest_n he_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o against_o they_o for_o if_o the_o roman_n overrule_a they_o do_v grievous_o exact_v their_o tribute_n and_o payment_n both_o of_o christ_n himself_o 〈◊〉_d as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o matth_n and_o of_o the_o high_a priest_n it_o be_v no_o more_o simony_n in_o the_o priest_n than_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n to_o pay_v they_o their_o exaction_n for_o the_o priesthood_n be_v their_o right_n see_v it_o pertain_v unto_o they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o aaron_n yet_o can_v not_o master_n cartwright_n prove_v that_o they_o pay_v any_o money_n when_o they_o take_v their_o
