All those things which concern a Priest may be drawn to two heads:
1. Matters1 of Ministry. 2. Matters of Dignity.
- 11. Works of Ministry.
1. In regard of Ministry a true Priest must 1. Obey and fulfil the Law. Christ thus saith of himself, It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness, Matth. 3. 15. ⟨p. 243⟩2. Be subject to infirmities, Heb. 4. 15. 3. Suffer, Heb. 5. 8. 4. Die, v. 9, 10. 5. Be made a curse, Gal. 3. 13. These and other things like to them, Christ could not have done and endured, except he had been a creature, even a man. 2. In regard of Dignity a true Priest must be1 1. Of Divine dignity, to be worthy to appear before God. 2. Of Almighty power, to bear the infinite burden of sin, to endure the curse of the Law, to overcome death, devil and hell. 3. Of Infinite merit, to purchase, by what he did and endured, Divine favour and heavenly glory.
