The principall points are three,

2. The end of it, to enter, amplified by the place whereinto they enter.
3. The means whereby they have this liberty, blood. Amplified by the author whose blood it is, Iesus. By the blood of Iesus.

Vers. 20. In setting down the second, the way is described,

1. By two Epithites, New and living.
2. By the preparation thereof, in this word consecrated. This is amplified,
- 1. By the author that hath done it, namely, Iesus.
- 2. The persons for whom, for us.
- 3. The means thorow which. This is,
  - 1. Propounded in a type, thorow the vaile.
  - 2. Expounded. This is,
    - 1. Generally hinted in this phrase, that is to say.
    - 2. Expressed in this, his the flesh.

Vers. 21. 3. In setting downe the guide he is described,

1. By his function, Priest. This is amplified by the excellency of that function, high Priest. Or, great Priest.
2. By his dominion. This is,
- 1. Implyed, in this word, over.
- 2. Amplified, By the persons over whom he is, the house of God.
