And amongst them many were made Priests, Ver. 23 &c.] He touched this comparison by the way heretofore: but because the matter required to be further weighed, and better considered of, he now declares it more fully. Although the sense of his disputation is otherwise than before. For heretofore he gathered that the old Priesthood ought to end, because mortal men were ordained to exercise the same: and now he simply shows why Christ continues an everlasting high Priest. The which he doth by an argument called *A disparatis. The reason why the Priests in old time were many, was, because death put an end to their Priesthood: but there is no death which hinders Christ from exercising his office. He then is the alone and perpetual high Priest. Thus the diversity of the cause makes divers effects.
