in_o scripture_n good_a hezekiah_n when_o a_o messenger_n come_v to_o he_o to_o bid_v he_o set_v his_o house_n in_o order_n for_o he_o must_v die_v how_o humble_a he_o be_v and_o how_o lowly_a he_o

it_o be_v true_a god_n make_v a_o difference_n sometime_o by_o his_o providence_n and_o sometime_o by_o his_o special_a grace_n though_o sometime_o god_n in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o providence_n

by_o his_o providence_n and_o special_a grace_n do_v sometime_o and_o often_o advance_v child_n above_o the_o condition_n of_o their_o parent_n yet_o they_o be_v in_o the_o common_a condition_n with_o they_o we_o be_v all_o such_o as_o inherit_v our_o father_n sin_n and_o our_o father_n infirmity_n who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o that_o which_o be_v unclean_a job_n 14._o 4._o

say_v do_v not_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o send_v peace_n on_o the_o earth_n but_o a_o sword_n and_o to_o set_v man_n at_o variance_n mat._n 10._o 34_o 35._o how_o then_o be_v he_o the_o prince_n of_o peace_n ans_fw-fr know_v there_o be_v a_o worldly_a peace_n which_o lie_v in_o agreement_n in_o all_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a christ_n

will_v want_v her_o trial_n if_o there_o be_v not_o enmity_n between_o the_o two_o seed_n but_o why_o do_v he_o say_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o send_v peace_n but_o a_o sword_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o consequence_n for_o where_o the_o gospel_n come_v it_o be_v a_o gospel_n of_o peace_n in_o itself_o but_o when_o jesus_n christ_n call_v any_o to_o his_o kingdom_n by_o the_o gospel_n the_o world_n be_v then_o at_o enmity_n with_o they_o and_o quarrel_n with_o they_o the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o instance_n of_o this_o but_o i_o shall_v wind_v up_o this_o with_o a_o brief_a application_n be_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n king_n of_o righteousness_n and_o prince_n of_o peace_n then_o what_o great_a reason_n have_v all_o man_n that_o hear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o pay_v their_o homage_n unto_o he_o and_o to_o submit_v to_o his_o sovereignty_n jesus_n christ_n he_o do_v not_o set_v up_o himself_o in_o opposition_n to_o magistrate_n but_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o all_o magistracy_n by_o i_o king_n reign_v and_o prince_n decree_v justice_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v we_o must_v make_v he_o our_o spiritual_a king_n and_o submit_v to_o his_o rule_n and_o law_n proud_a man_n of_o the_o world_n will_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o rule_n and_o law_n of_o christ_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v wise_a to_o salvation_n we_o shall_v subject_v ourselves_o to_o his_o word_n for_o he_o be_v our_o king_n and_o bless_v be_v they_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o he_o and_o can_v make_v christ_n their_o king_n and_o obey_v

of_o god_n who_o quicken_v all_o thing_n and_o before_o jesus_n christ_n who_o before_o pontius_n pilate_n witness_v a_o good_a confession_n that_o thou_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n unrebukeable_a until_o the_o appear_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o in_o time_n he_o shall_v show_v who_o be_v the_o bless_a and_o only_a king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n it_o may_v be_v while_o we_o speak_v of_o this_o authority_n of_o jesus_n christ_n you_o see_v few_o man_n regard_v it_o but_o i_o give_v thou_o charge_n before_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n as_o thou_o will_v answer_v it_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o thou_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n which_o in_o time_n shall_v be_v the_o only_a potentate_n and_o therefore_o belove_v let_v

to_o receive_v tithe_n of_o the_o people_n according_a to_o the_o law_n that_o be_v of_o their_o brethren_n though_o they_o come_v out_o of_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n but_o he_o who_o descent_n be_v not_o count_v from_o they_o receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o bless_v he_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o without_o all_o contradiction_n the_o less_o be_v bless_v of_o the_o better_a

that_o the_o apostle_n bring_v of_o melchisedeck_n greatness_n be_v v._o 4._o consider_v how_o great_a this_o man_n be_v unto_o who_o even_o the_o patriarch_n abraham_n give_v the_o ten_o of_o the_o spoil_n he_o call_v abraham_n the_o patriarch_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o father_n of_o all_o the_o jewish_a people_n they_o all_o proceed_v out_o of_o his_o loin_n in_o that_o promise_a seed_n isaac_n now_o consider_v say_v the_o apostle_n how_o great_a this_o melchisedeck_v be_v in_o that_o the_o patriarch_n the_o first_o father_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n give_v to_o he_o the_o ten_o of_o the_o spoil_n when_o abraham_n return_v from_o the_o slaughter_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o before_o and_o here_o the_o apostle_n bring_v it_o over_o again_o for_o a_o great_a proof_n of_o melchisedecks_n greatness_n but_o now_o here_o the_o question_n will_v be_v how_o this_o can_v be_v a_o proof_n of_o his_o greatness_n while_o he_o receive_v from_o abraham_n the_o ten_o of_o the_o spoil_n for_o according_a to_o the_o account_n that_o man_n have_v of_o thing_n the_o receiver_n be_v inferior_a to_o the_o giver_n he_o that_o give_v seem_v to_o be_v great_a than_o he_o that_o receive_v and_o our_o saviour_n say_v it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v than_o to_o receive_v how_o be_v this_o then_o a_o proof_n of_o melchisedecks_n greatness_n i_o answer_v to_o that_o the_o giver_n be_v great_a than_o the_o receiver_n where_o the_o give_v and_o receive_v be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o alm_n that_o be_v our_o saviour_n meaning_n it_o be_v a_o

not_o receive_v of_o the_o patriarch_n abraham_n the_o ten_o of_o the_o spoil_n as_o a_o act_n of_o abraham_n kindness_n but_o as_o tribute_n that_o abraham_n pay_v to_o god_n and_o to_o melchisedeck_v who_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n abraham_n give_v to_o melchisedeck_v the_o ten_o of_o the_o spoil_n as_o due_a to_o god_n it_o be_v a_o very_a false_a and_o

and_o the_o poor_a child_n they_o follow_v the_o same_o you_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n if_o a_o man_n be_v a_o traitor_n to_o the_o same_o his_o blood_n be_v taint_v

that_o he_o pay_v homage_n to_o god_n in_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o forefather_n now_o to_o proceed_v to_o open_v the_o follow_a word_n levi_n that_o receive_v tithe_n pay_v tithe_n in_o abraham_n if_o therefore_o perfection_n be_v in_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n etc._n etc._n now_o here_o we_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o levi_n pay_v tithe_n in_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n and_o though_o the_o priesthood_n of_o levi_n be_v holy_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o holy_a as_o melchisedeck_n so_o that_o here_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n of_o old_a receive_v the_o law_n under_o a_o priesthood_n second_o the_o law_n that_o they_o receive_v under_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n be_v not_o perfect_a three_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o priesthood_n to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o that_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n of_o old_a that_o have_v the_o law_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n they_o receive_v they_o under_o a_o priesthood_n for_o the_o holy_a god_n never_o deal_v with_o man_n immediate_o in_o a_o way_n of_o grace_n since_o the_o fall_n but_o by_o some_o middle_a person_n that_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o man._n therefore_o before_o god_n give_v a_o law_n melchisedeck_v be_v set_v up_o a_o priest_n and_o head_n to_o be_v a_o typical_a mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n between_o god_n and_o his_o people_n of_o which_o jesus_n christ_n be_v afterward_o to_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o show_v himself_o the_o real_a melchisedeck_v heb._n 5._o 1._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 man_n may_v in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o man_n go_v without_o a_o priest_n but_o in_o thing_n pertain_v to_o god_n they_o must_v have_v a_o priesthood_n for_o god_n be_v a_o holy_a god_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a disproportion_n between_o a_o holy_a god_n and_o sinful_a man_n and_o consider_v his_o greatness_n his_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n the_o people_n receive_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o law_n under_o a_o priesthood_n quest_n but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o levitical_a priesthood_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n after_o man_n fall_n for_o this_o levitical_a priesthood_n be_v not_o till_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n come_v out_o of_o egypt_n i_o answ_n not_o so_o for_o then_o before_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n be_v every_o first-born_a of_o the_o family_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o family_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o numb_a 3._o 12._o and_o i_o behold_v i_o have_v take_v the_o levite_n from_o among_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n instead_o of_o all_o the_o first-born_a i_o have_v take_v the_o levite_n instead_o of_o the_o first-born_a that_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o family_n this_o be_v the_o law_n before_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n that_o the_o first-born_a of_o the_o family_n be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o family_n to_o offer_v gift_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o allusion_n to_o this_o jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a high_a priest_n be_v call_v the_o first-born_a of_o many_o brethren_n rom._n 8._o 29._o and_o therefore_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o this_o duty_n that_o as_o god_n give_v his_o law_n and_o ordinance_n first_o typical_a and_o then_o real_a that_o we_o shall_v never_o go_v to_o god_n but_o by_o our_o great_a high_a priest_n we_o ought_v always_o to_o have_v such_o a_o holy_a reverence_n of_o the_o great_a god_n that_o we_o shall_v never_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n without_o our_o great_a highpriest_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 2._o though_o god_n do_v give_v the_o levitical_a law_n of_o old_a to_o his_o church_n yet_o this_o law_n do_v not_o make_v any_o thing_n perfect_a they_o be_v bless_v mean_n and_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o be_v of_o great_a use_n themselves_o but_o they_o do_v not_o make_v the_o comer_n thereto_o perfect_a all_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o law_n can_v not_o effectual_o cleanse_v sin_n away_o no_o and_o if_o he_o do_v come_v with_o his_o sacrifice_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o justify_v he_o neither_o can_v it_o true_o sanctify_v he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o this_o sacrifice_n do_v not_o take_v away_o sin_n to_o what_o end_n then_o serve_v the_o law_n i_o answer_v first_o to_o keep_v the_o church_n in_o obedience_n till_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n come_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v they_o his_o law_n and_o ordinance_n there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o distinction_n between_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o heathen_a world_n yea_o they_o will_v have_v run_v into_o all_o kind_n of_o will-worship_n with_o the_o heathen-world_n if_o they_o have_v not_o have_v his_o law_n and_o ordinance_n 2._o though_o they_o can_v not_o make_v the_o comer_n to_o they_o perfect_a yet_o they_o be_v lead_v by_o they_o to_o jesus_n christ_n where_o their_o perfection_n be_v their_o sacrifice_n lead_v they_o to_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o great_a end_n of_o all_o the_o jewish_a law_n and_o ceremony_n to_o lead_v they_o to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o god_n elect_a in_o those_o day_n do_v feed_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o apostle_n word_n 1_o cor._n 10._o they_o do_v all_o eat_v of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o they_o do_v all_o drink_n of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a drink_n the_o same_o that_o we_o eat_v and_o the_o same_o that_o we_o drink_v those_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o christ_n do_v live_v under_o a_o dark_a dispensation_n yet_o they_o do_v eat_v the_o same_o spiritual_a bread_n that_o we_o do_v so_o that_o the_o law_n you_o see_v be_v of_o use_n though_o it_o do_v not_o make_v the_o comer_n to_o it_o perfect_a this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n 3._o the_o law_n be_v imperfect_a &_o not_o make_v any_o person_n or_o thing_n perfect_a therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o priesthood_n this_o he_o prove_v thus_o if_o this_o levitical_a law_n and_o priesthood_n can_v have_v make_v the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n happy_a god_n will_v never_o have_v speak_v of_o another_o priesthood_n after_o melchisedeck_v and_o god_n will_v never_o have_v set_v up_o another_o priest_n make_v by_o his_o oath_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o another_o law_n and_o another_o priesthood_n a_o necessity_n of_o a_o change_n and_o here_o you_o may_v take_v special_a notice_n of_o a_o change_n of_o the_o priesthood_n but_o what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o change_n of_o the_o law_n i_o answer_v by_o change_v of_o the_o law_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v a_o abolition_n or_o abrogation_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n and_o all_o settle_a in_o a_o more_o clear_a manner_n on_o the_o priesthood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o we_o now_o receive_v the_o law_n by_o christ_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a change_n for_o we_o and_o it_o shall_v abundant_o raise_v our_o heart_n in_o that_o now_o we_o have_v another_o priesthood_n and_o another_o law_n why_o because_o the_o old_a priesthood_n and_o the_o old_a law_n can_v not_o make_v the_o comer_n to_o they_o perfect_a and_o it_o be_v a_o burdensome_a priesthood_n and_o a_o burdensome_a law_n see_v i_o pray_v you_o act_v 15._o 10._o you_o will_v find_v there_o that_o the_o old_a law_n the_o

it_o not_o lawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o enrich_v himself_o by_o war_n as_o well_o as_o by_o trade_n why_o do_v not_o abraham_n take_v a_o reward_n for_o his_o great_a adventure_n the_o reason_n be_v

or_o to_o his_o command_n see_v i_o pray_v john_n 14._o 21._o he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n and_o keep_v they_o he_o it_o be_v that_o love_v i_o you_o pretend_v love_n to_o christ_n show_v

in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v rest_v in_o he_o as_o the_o great_a lord_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o timothy_n the_o 1._o and_o the_o 6._o and_o 15._o which_o in_o

one_o word_n in_o the_o text_n mind_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o our_o lord_n spring_v out_o of_o judah_n and_o in_o the_o 15._o ver_fw-la it_o be_v far_o more_o evident_a why_o do_v the_o

evident_a to_o their_o understanding_n it_o be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o ministerial_a work_n to_o inform_v their_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o pray_v that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o plain_a

why_o he_o make_v evident_a that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v not_o a_o priest_n after_o the_o law_n of_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o a_o endless_a life_n and_o these_o be_v the_o word_n i_o shall_v brief_o open_v and_o apply_v that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v not_o make_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o law_n of_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n but_o after_o the_o power_n of_o a_o endless_a life_n here_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v first_o the_o apostle_n remove_v the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n that_o it_o be_v not_o make_v after_o the_o law_n of_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n second_o he_o give_v a_o description_n of_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o be_v a_o priesthood_n of_o power_n and_o of_o a_o endless_a life_n first_o of_o all_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v not_o make_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o law_n of_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n what_o be_v that_o why_o it_o be_v a_o carnal_a commandment_n that_o make_v all_o subject_n to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n you_o will_v say_v be_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n carnal_a do_v not_o god_n command_v it_o how_o be_v it_o then_o carnal_a why_o it_o be_v a_o command_n that_o respect_v carnal_a thing_n carnal_a in_o scripture_n be_v take_v two_o way_n first_o carnal_a be_v take_v for_o that_o which_o be_v sinful_a and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v not_o make_v by_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n sometime_o carnal_a be_v set_v in_o opposition_n to_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o so_o it_o be_v put_v for_o thing_n concern_v the_o body_n and_o not_o for_o the_o soul_n if_o we_o have_v sow_o unto_o you_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v it_o a_o great_a thing_n if_o we_o shall_v reap_v your_o carnal_a thing_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v call_v carnal_a thing_n because_o they_o do_v only_o reach_v to_o the_o body_n they_o be_v but_o shadow_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o colossian_n call_v they_o worldly_a rudiment_n col._n 2._o 20._o why_o so_o because_o all_o those_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v not_o of_o a_o heavenly_a nature_n as_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o they_o only_o concern_v outward_a thing_n mind_v this_o the_o jew_n they_o dote_v much_o upon_o their_o ceremonial_a rite_n before_o christ_n come_v and_o after_o christ_n come_v they_o do_v stick_n much_o to_o their_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a ceremony_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o a_o holy_a anger_n speak_v to_o the_o galatian_n o_o foolish_a galatian_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o truth_n to_o turn_v aside_o from_o christ_n the_o substance_n to_o carnal_a thing_n to_o worldly_a thing_n which_o be_v but_o shadow_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o oh_o that_o we_o can_v observe_v it_o more_o that_o in_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n there_o be_v a_o carnal_a disposition_n that_o lead_v he_o out_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o carnal_a way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n here_o look_v upon_o the_o worship_n and_o religion_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o you_o will_v see_v it_o be_v but_o a_o carnal_a religion_n they_o have_v their_o curious_a

scope_n also_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o a_o endless_a life_n because_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v so_o that_o now_o we_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o a_o die_a priesthood_n or_o upon_o such_o ordinance_n and_o ceremony_n that_o be_v to_o be_v abolish_v before_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

we_o may_v learn_v this_o lesson_n

the_o priest_n it_o be_v true_a those_o ceremony_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o they_o may_v be_v use_v to_o edification_n the_o martyr_n reply_v again_o give_v i_o the_o salvation_n and_o give_v i_o the_o edification_n to_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v a_o unprofitableness_n in_o all_o these_o thing_n but_o some_o will_v say_v these_o be_v ornament_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v so_o be_v a_o paint_a glass_n a_o ornament_n to_o the_o house_n yet_o it_o shut_v out_o the_o light_n more_o than_o a_o plain_a glass_n the_o light_n do_v not_o shine_v out_o

the_o 19_o ver_fw-la for_o the_o law_n make_v nothing_o perfect_a but_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o a_o better_a hope_n do_v by_o which_o we_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n this_o be_v still_o to_o

because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o no_o great_a he_o swear_v by_o himself_o mind_n that_o when_o man_n swear_v to_o confirm_v a_o thing_n they_o swear_v by_o the_o great_a god_n who_o know_v their_o

that_o we_o may_v be_v put_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n for_o though_o he_o be_v most_o unchangeable_a in_o his_o word_n in_o his_o promise_n and_o in_o his_o

will_v not_o repent_v second_o there_o be_v still_o a_o high_a intendment_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n have_v swear_v and_o he_o will_v not_o repent_v i._o e._n he_o

and_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v hold_v of_o death_n three_o christ_n death_n be_v but_o to_o do_v the_o great_a part_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n and_o

because_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a to_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n he_o be_v almighty_a and_o therefore_o in_o psal_n 89._o which_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o christ_n under_o

our_o redeemer_n he_o be_v mighty_a and_o alsufficient_a to_o finish_v the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o then_o second_o as_o he_o be_v mighty_a and_o all-sufficient_a in_o his_o person_n as_o god-man_n so_o also_o his_o death_n have_v a_o perpetual_a virtue_n in_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v he_o offer_v up_o himself_o once_o for_o all_o heb._n 7._o 27_o the_o latter_a

of_o creation_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o godhead_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n a_o great_a work_n then_o again_o 2._o if_o you_o consider_v the_o work_n itself_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n be_v a_o great_a and_o wonderful_a work_n for_n mind_v it_o the_o great_a god_n to_o make_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o this_o be_v a_o work_n that_o none_o but_o god_n can_v do_v for_o god_n to_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n angel_n and_o man_n and_o all_o live_a creature_n and_o all_o out_o of_o nothing_o it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o a_o infinite_a god_n for_o mind_v it_o the_o

that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o to_o save_v a_o soul_n from_o death_n and_o misery_n be_v a_o work_n that_o none_o can_v accomplish_v but_o he_o that_o be_v mighty_a to_o save_o the_o work_n of_o

that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o see_v he_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o they_o now_o these_o word_n carry_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n for_o they_o that_o believe_v the_o word_n but_o they_o require_v some_o care_n and_o diligence_n in_o the_o open_n of_o they_o and_o give_v the_o right_a sense_n of_o they_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v lead_v away_o with_o gross_a and_o dull_a apprehension_n of_o this_o spiritual_a mystery_n first_o therefore_o for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o this_o phrase_n here_o in_o the_o text_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n shall_v never_o have_v a_o end_n for_o the_o intercession_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o work_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o mediatory-kingdom_n and_o that_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n when_o all_o god_n elect_n shall_v be_v gather_v to_o he_o and_o the_o whole_a

the_o end_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n even_o the_o father_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v put_v down_o all_o rule_n and_o all_o authority_n and_o power_n for_o he_o must_v reign_v till_o he_o have_v put_v all_o enemy_n under_o his_o foot_n the_o last_o enemy_n that_o shall_v be_v destroy_v be_v death_n for_o he_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o when_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v subdue_v unto_o he_o then_o shall_v the_o son_n also_o himself_o be_v subject_a unto_o he_o that_o put_v all_o thing_n under_o he_o that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o here_o the_o apostle_n be_v treat_v of_o christ_n mediatory-kingdom_n and_o when_o all_o the_o elect_n shall_v be_v gather_v together_o when_o the_o world_n shall_v come_v to_o a_o end_n then_o the_o last_o enemy_n that_o be_v to_o be_v destroy_v be_v death_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o die_v in_o the_o church_n all_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o eternal_a godhead_n and_o god_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o his_o intercession_n or_o of_o a_o mediator_n but_o still_o remember_v the_o bless_a effect_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o resurrection_n and_o intercession_n be_v to_o eternity_n therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n say_v christ_n ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o this_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n who_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v and_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v no_o present_a help_n from_o they_o but_o all_o their_o help_n be_v from_o jesus_n christ_n they_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o continue_v by_o reason_n of_o death_n but_o christ_n ever_o live_v our_o great_a highpriest_n when_o all_o other_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v but_o second_o and_o special_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o this_o ever_o be_v to_o be_v take_v for_o every_o age_n and_o generation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o end_n of_o those_o thing_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v he_o ever_o live_v to_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n for_o this_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v his_o mystical_a body_n be_v not_o all_o bear_v in_o one_o age_n of_o the_o world_n but_o one_o generation_n pass_v away_o and_o another_o come_v but_o christ_n he_o ever_o live_v in_o all_o age_n a_o priest_n of_o god_n for_o all_o those_o that_o come_v to_o god_n by_o he_o he_o ever_o live_v we_o have_v not_o a_o new_a priest_n to_o rise_v up_o with_o a_o new_a generation_n but_o we_o have_v the_o same_o jesus_n who_o be_v yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o the_o same_o he_o live_v in_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n i_o say_v a_o new_a age_n do_v not_o bring_v forth_o a_o new_a saviour_n nor_o a_o new_a priest_n but_o he_o be_v the_o same_o he_o ever_o live_v and_o we_o of_o this_o age_n and_o generation_n have_v the_o same_o benefit_n by_o jesus_n christ_n priesthood_n and_o intercession_n that_o the_o old_a and_o primitive_a saint_n have_v thousand_o of_o year_n ago_o for_o he_o abide_v for_o ever_o till_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o man_n redemption_n be_v fulfil_v and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o proper_a meaning_n of_o this_o phrase_n he_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n that_o be_v he_o ever_o live_v in_o all_o age_n and_o generation_n he_o be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o he_o be_v to_o be_v our_o high_a priest_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o christ_n make_v intercession_n for_o we_o in_o heaven_n now_o for_o that_o you_o must_v first_o consider_v the_o speech_n as_o metaphorical_a and_o borrow_v from_o advocate_n that_o plead_v in_o king_n court_n or_o from_o counsellor_n that_o stand_v up_o for_o a_o client_n to_o procure_v the_o sentence_n on_o their_o side_n hence_o the_o apostle_n john_n have_v that_o expression_n in_o 1_o joh._n 2._o 1._o if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a

than_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o which_o we_o be_v save_v signify_v nothing_o to_o we_o for_o if_o it_o be_v of_o work_n it_o be_v not_o of_o grace_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n than_o not_o by_o work_n work_n be_v no_o more_o work_n see_v therefore_o look_v that_o you_o live_v whole_o and_o sole_o upon_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o you_o do_v your_o work_n not_o from_o yourself_o and_o not_o for_o yourself_o as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n do_v receive_v a_o estate_n or_o a_o inheritance_n of_o his_o father_n as_o a_o free_a gift_n then_o he_o pay_v nothing_o for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o deserve_v it_o or_o that_o he_o wrought_v for_o it_o this_o take_v away_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o gift_n if_o it_o be_v of_o gift_n it_o be_v not_o of_o duty_n if_o it_o be_v of_o duty_n it_o be_v not_o of_o gift_n so_o if_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n it_o be_v not_o of_o work_n and_o therefore_o cease_v from_o your_o work_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o your_o justification_n that_o be_v stand_v clear_a from_o rest_v on_o your_o work_n look_v at_o free_a grace_n in_o christ_n for_o all_o for_o he_o ever_o live_v to_o make_v intercession_n for_o we_o it_o be_v when_o we_o be_v save_v by_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o work_v and_o god_n do_v gracious_o accept_v of_o our_o work_n but_o how_o as_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o he_o by_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a intercessor_n hence_o you_o have_v that_o col._n 3._o 17._o and_o whatsoever_o you_o do_v in_o word_n or_o deed_n do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n give_v thanks_o unto_o god_n and_o the_o father_n by_o he_o how_o when_o you_o pray_v pray_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o acceptance_n and_o when_o you_o praise_v the_o lord_n praise_v he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o trust_v in_o he_o for_o acceptance_n do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n because_o he_o be_v the_o great_a intercessor_n for_o our_o soul_n and_o he_o take_v away_o the_o iniquity_n of_o our_o holy_a thing_n that_o they_o may_v be_v accept_v and_o he_o offer_v up_o his_o own_o intercession_n with_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o you_o do_v do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n this_o be_v the_o spiritual_a lesson_n that_o we_o be_v to_o learn_v from_o this_o doctrine_n or_o truth_n that_o we_o be_v now_o upon_o that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a all_o those_o that_o come_v unto_o god_n by_o he_o then_o rest_n upon_o he_o with_o full_a and_o entire_a faith_n and_o cease_v from_o your_o own_o

a_o intercessor_n for_o we_o there_o be_v reason_n to_o despair_v indeed_o but_o god_n have_v put_v a_o great_a office_n upon_o his_o son_n that_o he_o shall_v make_v intercession_n for_o

with_o the_o transgressor_n and_o he_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o make_v intercession_n for_o the_o transgressor_n these_o expression_n show_v that_o god_n the_o father_n love_v his_o son_n because_o he_o bear_v our_o sin_n and_o make_v intercession_n for_o the_o transgressor_n therefore_o will_v i_o divide_v he_o a_o portion_n with_o the_o great_a and_o he_o shall_v divide_v the_o

through_o this_o chapter_n where_o the_o apostle_n treat_v so_o large_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o his_o priestly-office_n as_o we_o be_v to_o live_v by_o faith_n and_o to_o be_v save_v by_o

there_o be_v no_o come_n to_o a_o holy_a god_n but_o by_o he_o by_o he_o we_o be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n in_o verse_n 19_o as_o have_v be_v show_v and_o he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o
