DOCT. That the sacrifice of Christ our high Priest,1 is most excellent in it self; and most necessary for us.
- 1Doct.
1Sacrifices are of two sorts, Eucharistical; or thank-offerings, in testification of homage, duty and service; and in token of gratitude for mercies freely received: and Ilastical, or expiatory; for satisfaction to Justice, and thereby the atoning and reconciling of God. Of this last kind, was the sacrifice offered by Jesus Christ for us. To this Office he was called by God, Heb. 5.5. in it he was confirmed by the unchangeable oath of God, Psal. 110.4. for it he was singularly qualified by his incarnation, Heb. 5.6, 7. and all the ends of it he hath fully answered. Heb. 9.11, 12.
