1. He was made so; [Greek or Hebrew], which Priest was made; or who was made a Priest. The force of this Expression hath been explained on Chap. 3. 2. and Chap. 5. 5. 1The Lord Christ did not merely on his own Authority and Power take this Office upon himself. He became so, he was made so by the Appointment and Designation of the Father. Nor did he do any thing in the whole work of his Mediation, but in Obedience unto his Command, and in compliance with his Will. For it is the Authority of God alone which is the Foundation of all Office, Duty, and Power in the Church. Even what Christ himself is and was unto the Church, he is and was so by the Grace and Authority of God even the Father. By him was he sent, his will did he perform, through his Grace did he die, by his Power was he exalted, and with him doth he intercede. What Acts of God in particular do concur unto the constitution of this Office of Christ, and to the making him a Priest, have been declared before.
