6 Objection. It is said, Heb. 5. A high priest taken from among men is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples. This place showeth that the sins of the priest are not venial by themselves, or of their own nature, but for the sacrifice of Christ, which was signified by the typical sacrifices: & therefore it quite & clean overthroweth the opinion of our adversaries. For if all sins even of a righteous Priest, are in the sight of God so great, that they cannot be purged but by the death of the Son of God; it necessarily followeth ⟨p. 84⟩that they of their own nature deserved everlasting death.
6 Obiection. It is said, Heb. 5. A high priest taken frō among men is bound to offer for sins, as wel for his own part, as for the peoples. This place sheweth that the sinnes of the priest are not venial by themselues, or of their own nature, but for the sacrifice of Christ, which was signified by the typicall sacrifices: & therfore it quite & clean ouerthroweth the opinion of our aduersaries. For if al sins euen of a righteous Priest, are in the sight of God so great, that they cānot be purged but by the death of the Son of God; it necessarily foloweth ⟨p. 84⟩that they of their own nature deserued euerlasting death.
