§. Sect. 6 Secondly our saviour Christ is our high priest,1 who hath offered up unto his father an all-sufficient sacrifice and full satisfaction for our sins, whereby Gods justice is fully satisfied and his wrath appeased, who also sitting at the right hand of his father, continually maketh intercession for us.
