For Aaron was a type of Christ; his Offering, a type of Christ's Offering his Body; the Blood of the Sacrifice, a type of the Blood of Christ; his Garments, a type of Christ's Righteousness; the Mercy-seat, a type of the Throne of Grace; the Incense, a type of Christ's Praise; and the sprinkling of the Blood of Christ upon the Mercy-seat, a type of Christ's pleading the ⟨p. 201⟩virtue of his Sufferings for us in the presence of God in Heaven.

Wherefore holy Brethren, partakers of the Heavenly Calling, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our Profession, Christ Jesus: And seeing we have a great high Priest, that is passed into the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our Profession; for we have not an high Priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our Infirmities, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without Sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the Throne of Grace, that we may obtain Mercy, and find Grace to help in time of need: For every high Priest taken from among men, is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both Gifts and Sacrifices for Sin, who can have Compassion on the Ignorant, and on them that are out of the way, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
