10. Concerning the Priesthood of Christ.
That Christ being consecrated, hath appeared once to put away sin, by the offering and sacrificing of himself, and hath fully performed and suffered all those things, by which, God through the blood of his cross, in a sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour, might be reconciled to his elect; and having broken down the partition wall, and finished and removed those ceremonial rites and shadows, is now entered into the most holy place, (not made with hands) to the very heavens and presence of God, where he for ever liveth, and sitteth at the right hand of Majesty, to make intercession for such as come unto the Throne of Grace by that new and living way; and he maketh his people a spiritual house, and an holy Priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through him.
