his_o people_n and_o his_o priesthood_n be_v confirm_v by_o a_o oath_n 110.41_o psal_n 110.41_o the_o lord_n swear_v the_o lord_n by_o a_o oath_n confirm_v the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v be_v the_o more_o sure_a of_o such_o a_o wonderful_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o mankind_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o he_o add_v a_o oath_n to_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n because_o that_o aim_a at_o high_a thing_n than_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n do_v that_o be_v but_o a_o external_a priesthood_n but_o this_o aim_v at_o such_o high_a thing_n yea_o that_o sacrifice_n that_o must_v be_v tender_v up_o to_o god_n for_o a_o full_a atonement_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n therefore_o god_n confirm_v this_o by_o a_o oath_n for_o believer_n when_o they_o hear_v such_o thing_n those_o that_o be_v weak_a i_o but_o lord_n think_v they_o be_v these_o thing_n so_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v such_o thought_n of_o mankind_n to_o work_v so_o wonderful_a for_o man_n salvation_n therefore_o say_v god_n i_o have_v confirm_v this_o by_o a_o oath_n and_o then_o this_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o priesthood_n of_o a_o better_a covenant_n the_o other_o be_v but_o after_o a_o carnal_a commandment_n and_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o it_o be_v but_o a_o external_a covenant_n for_o there_o be_v certain_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n beside_o that_o of_o grace_n that_o god_n do_v renew_v with_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n even_o when_o he_o give_v the_o law_n the_o ceremonial_a law_n do_v not_o only_o typify_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o shall_v be_v reveal_v hereafter_o more_o full_o but_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n as_o it_o appear_v plain_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n but_o yet_o still_o i_o say_v they_o have_v a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v couch_v dark_o in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n therefore_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o mediator_n of_o a_o better_a covenant_n he_o come_v to_o deal_v between_o god_n and_o man_n in_o a_o better_a covenant_n than_o be_v before_o and_o then_o further_o the_o

it_o bring_v the_o saint_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n and_o that_o with_o boldness_n and_o for_o that_o you_o have_v a_o most_o excellent_a scripture_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n by_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o ten_o to_o the_o hebrew_n have_v therefore_o boldness_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n 10.19_o heb._n 10.19_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o this_o our_o priest_n have_v offer_v to_o the_o father_n we_o come_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o all_o and_o that_o with_o boldness_n it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n no_o but_o after_o the_o high_a priest_n have_v offer_v sacrifice_n he_o alone_o go_v into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n but_o now_o mark_v here_o not_o only_a christ_n our_o high_a priest_n but_o we_o may_v come_v with_o boldness_n which_o none_o of_o the_o people_n can_v do_v in_o the_o law_n that_o be_v thus_o there_o be_v such_o a_o

sacrifice_n be_v not_o actual_o offer_v but_o since_o christ_n come_n and_o his_o actual_a offer_v up_o his_o sacrifice_n now_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n may_v come_v with_o boldness_n into_o the_o
