Christ is styled High-Priest,
1. For excellency sake, to show that he was the chiefest and most excellent of all. 2. To demonstrate that he was the truth, whom Aaron and other High-Priests typified. 3. To assure us that all those things which were enjoined to Aaron as High-Priest, ⟨p. 144⟩were really in their truth performed by Christ. For 1. Christ entered into the true Holy place, which is heaven, Heb. 9. 24. 2. Christ truly appeareth before God for us, Heb. 9. 24. 3. Christ hath born all the sins of all the Elect, 2 Cor. 5. 21. 4. Christs intercession is the true incense which makes things that are pleasing and acceptable to God, to be so accepted for us, Eph. 1. 6. 5. By Christ we have •eceived the atonement, Rom. 5. 11. 6. Christ purgeth our sins, Heb. 1. 3. 7. Christ is the supreme Judge and determiner of all Controversies.
