Of the profit that we take by this that Christ was anointed to be a priest.
Of the profite that we take by this that Christ was anointed to be a priest.
The chief profit is, that I have a certain person, which hath sacrificed for me, and continually maketh intercession for me that the force of his intercession made, & sacrifice offered up in earth, might always be of force in the sight of God, as it is said in the Psalm 110. The Lord hath sworn and will not repent him: Thou art a Priest for ever. Now an everlasting priest ⟨p. 122⟩is not without an everlasting use and fruit of his priesthood toward his faithful. But we will speak more aswell of the kingdom, as of the Priesthood in the article of sitting at the right hand of God.
