But, if Moses in deed were a Priest, ye should do well, M. Harding, to resolve us, Fiest, whether he were a Priest borne, or else afterward made a Priest. A Priest borne, I trow, ye will not say. If ye say, he was afterward made a Priest, then tell us, by what Bishop, or other Creature was he Consecrate? At whose hands received he Authority? When, where, & to what purpose? What Priestlike Apparel ever ware he? Or, in what Office, or Ministry ever showed he him self to be a Priest? 1S. Paul saith, A Priest is appointed to offer up Oblations, and Sacrifices for sin. What Oblations, or Sacrifices for sin, can ye tell us, that Moses offered? If he were neither Borne a Priest, nor made a Priest, nor ever known by office to be a Priest, then was he, I trow, a very strange Priest.
But, if Moses in déede were a Prieste, yee shoulde doo wel, M. Hardinge, to resolue vs, Fiest, whether he were a Prieste borne, or els afterwarde made a Prieste. A Prieste borne, I trowe, yée wil not saie. If yée saie, he was afterwarde made a Prieste, then tel vs, by what Bishop, or other Creature was he Consecrate? At whoes handes receiued he Authoritie? When, where, & to what pourpose? What Priestelike Apparel euer ware he? Or, in what Office, or Ministerie euer shewed he him self to be a Prieste? 1S. Paule saith, A Prieste is appointed to offer vp Oblations, and Sacrifices for sinne. What Oblations, or Sacrifices for sinne, can yée tel vs, that Moses offered? If he were neither Borne a Prieste, nor made a Prieste, nor euer knowen by office to be a Prieste, then was he, I trowe, a very strange Prieste.
- 1Hebrae. 5.
If Moses were the Highest Priest, and Head of the Church, and Aaron likewise the Highest Priest, and in so much the Head of the Church too, as well as he, then had y• Church two highest Bishops, and two Heads both together: Which thing were monstrous, not only in speech, but also in Nature.
