no, you shall find in Levit. 16. that, always the priest, when he entered 1into the holy of holies, he burnt incense, that the cloud of that incense might cover the Mercy seat: the meaning is this, that when any man comes to offer a prayer to the Lord, he can put no incense to it, the priest only he must put in incense, that is, Jesus Christ only must offer the sacrifice, wherein the Lord smells a savour of rest: for the Lord expresseth himself in this manner, as if he were disquieted for sin, and can take no rest; now, when Jesus Christ offers a sacrifice, he smells a savour of rest; because it comes from him, in whom he is well pleased: so, I say, we must be careful, t•at we remember we come in the name of Christ.
