§. 118. Of the Resolution, and observations of Heb. 7. 28.
THe generall sum of this verse, as of sundry others before it, is a proof of the ex∣cellency of Christs Priest-hood above the Leviticall. Hereof are two parts.
1. By the ground or warrant which they had, The Law.
2. By the kind of persons who were Priests; Men. This is amplified by their condition, which have infirmity.
The latter is set out.
1. By the ground or warrant which he had, The word of oath.
2. By the time, or order, when he was confirmed, since the Law.
3. By the dignity of his person, Son.
4. By the manner of institution, consecrated.
5. By the continuance of his Priest-hood, For evermore.
Doctrines.
I. There were High-Priests under the Law. This is here taken for granted. See Chap. 2. v. 17. §. 173.
II. The ceremoniall Law was the Leviticall Priests warrant. That Law made them. See v. 16. §. 80.
III. The legall High-Priests were subject to infirmity. This is plainly expressed. See Chap. 5. v. 2. §. 12.
IV. The warrant of Christs Priest-hood was the word of oath. That made him Priest. See v. 20. §. 91.
V. Christs Priest-hood succeeded the legall. This is intended under this phrase, sin•…•…e the Law. See v. 19. §. 87.
VI. The Son of God is our High-Priest. He is comprised under this title Son. See Chap. 5. v. 5. §. 27.
VII. Christ was solemnly instituted into his Priest-hood. This word, consecrated, having reference to Gods oath, importeth thus much. See v. 20. §. 91.
VIII. Christs is a perfect, perfecting Priest-hood. The notation of the Greek word, translated, consecrated, proveth this extent. See Chap. 2. v. 10. §. 97.
IX. Christs is an everlasting Priest-hood. See Chap. 5. v. 6. §. 29.
