3 WHAT IS THE PRIESTHOOD OF CHRISTIANS.
3 WHAT IS THE PRIESTHOODE OF CHRISTIANS.
1CHRIST maketh us partakers of his Priesthood, not only, because he sanctifieth himself for us. John 17.19. ⟨p. 457⟩& imputeth, & giveth his sacrifice unto us, 2that for it we may be received of him, & God the Father into favour, and may be endowed with the holy Ghost and eternal life, even as if in our selves that Sacrifice were accomplished: and satisfaction made for our sins: but furthermore, because he maketh us also Priests unto GOD. Which he doth after a double manner. 1. When by the efficacy of his spirit he worketh in us those things, which we may offer unto god for a Sacrifice. 2.3 When by his merit and intercession unto his father, he causeth our Sacrifices, albeit unperfect & stained with our sins, to be notwithstanding pleasing and acceptable unto him.
