There is a word called in latin sacerdos in greek hiereus / in hebrew cohan / 1that is a minister an officer / a sacrificer or a priest / as Aaron was a priest and sacrificed for the people and was a mediator between God and them And in the english should it have had some other name then priest: But Antichrist hath deceived us with unknown and strange terms / to bring us in to con fusion and superstitious blindness. Of that manner is Christ a priest for ever and all we priests through him and need no more of any such priest on earth to be a mean for us ⟨image 92⟩unto God. For Christ hath brought us all in into the inner temple within the veil or forehanginge / and unto the mercy stole of God. And hath coupled us unto God / where we offer every man for him self the desires and petitions of his heart / and sacrifice and kill the lusts and appetites of his flesh with prayer / fasting and all manner godly living.
