§. 61. Of observations raised out of, Heb. 10. v. 19, 20, 21.

Vers. 19. I. PRiviledges must make men walk worthy of them. This is the intend∣ment of this particle of inference, therefore.

II. Ministers and people are all as brethren. This title, brethren, declares as much.

III. Ministers must seek to insinuate themselves into the hearts of their hearers. By the title, brethren, and by declaring unto them their priviledges in this word, having, the Apostle doth so.

IV. Believers have liberty boldly to approach to God. The word translated, boldnesse, in reference to that which followes, intends as much.

V. Heaven was typified by the most holy place in the Tabernacle. For heaven is here called the holiest.

VI. Believers have accesse to heaven. They may enter into it.

VII. The means of purchasing accesse to God is blood. We have boldnesse to enter through blood.

VIII. The blood whereby that priviledge is obtained is the blood of Iesus. So much is here plainly expressed.

Vers. 20. IX. There is a way for Saints to enter into heaven. This is the intend∣•…•…nt of the way here mentioned.

X. That way is consecrated. So much is here expressed.

XI. The way is consecrated for us Christians. Such are they who are comprised under this phrase, for us.

XII. The way to heaven in a new way.

XIII. The way to heaven is a living way. These two last doctrines are expresly set down.

XIV. Legall types set out spirituall truths. This is here exemplified under the type of a vaile.

XV. Types are to be applyed to their truths. This general phrase, that is to say, in∣tends as much.

XVI. Christs flesh was typified by the vaile, entring into the most holy place.

Vers. 21. XVII. Christ is a true Priest. He is here called a Priest.

XVIII. Christ is a great Priest. So he is also stiled.

XIX. Christ hath a dominion. He is over.

XX. Christs speciall dominion is over the house of God. The Church is Gods house, that is here intended.

XXI. By Christ a Priest and Lord, we have accesse to God. This is gathered from the immediate inference of drawing neer, v. 22. upon this description of Christ in this verse.
