Chapter 67: LXVII. Of the High-Priest's going into the Holiest alone.
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
I do not say that there is no man in Heaven but Jesus Christ, but I say, he ⟨p. 206⟩is there to make intercession for us alone. Yea the Holy Text says more:
I go, saith Christ, to prepare a place for you; and if I go and prepare a place for you: I will come again and take you to my self, that where I am, there ye may be also, John 14.1, 2, 3, 4.
This Text seems to insinuate that Christ is in the Holiest, or highest Heavens alone; and that he there alone must be until he has finished his work of Intercession: For not till then, he comes again to take us to himself.
Let us grant Christ the pre•ieminency in this, as also in all other things; for he is Intercessor for his Church, and and makes it for them in the Holiest alone. 'Tis said he is the Light that no man can approach unto?
