1. This Priesthood was not legall or temporary, but according to the order of Melchisedec, and is stable and perfect, not for aa time, but for ever, which is suteable to Jesus Christ, as to him that ever liveth: Christ was the Priest, Sacrifice and Altar: hee was a Priest according to both natures; he was a Sacrifice according to his humane nature; whence inb Scripture it is attributed to his body, to hisc bloud: yet the effectualnesse of this Sacrifice did depend upon his divine nature, therefore it is called the bloud of God. Hee was the Altar according to hisd divine nature, it belonging to thee Altar to sanctifie that which is offered upon it, and so it ought to be of greater dignity then the Sacrifice it selfe.f
