VER. 11.
IN this Verse, after so long a Preparation and Introduction, whereby he cleared his way from Objections, and secured his future Building, the Apostle enters on his Principal Argument concerning the Priesthood of Christ, and all the Consequences of it with respect unto Righteousness, Salvation, and the Worship of God, which depend thereon. This being his main Design, he would not engage into it before he had in every respect declared and vindicated the Dignity and Glory of the Person of Christ as vested with his Blessed Offices. And from hence unto the didactical part of the Epistle, he proceeds in a Retrograde Order unto what he had before insisted on. For whereas he had first declared the Glory of the Person of Christ in his Kingly Office, Chap. 1. then in his Prophetical, Chap. 2, 3. And having now entered on his Sacerdotal, he goes on to enlarge upon this last Function, then he returns unto his Prophetical, and shuts up the whole with a renewed mention of his Kingly Power, as we shall see in their Order and proper places.
