2. The principal Reason of the All-sufficiency of the Office-Power, and Ability of Christ, is taken from his own Person, which alone was capable of a Trust of such a Power, and able to execute it unto all the Ends of it. He alone who was God and Man in one Person, was capable of being such a King, Priest, and Prophet, as was able to save the Church unto the uttermost. Wherefore in the consideration of this Office-Power of Christ wherein all our Salvation doth depend, we have two things to attend unto. First, his Person who bears these Offices, and who alone was fit and able so to do; and secondly, the especial Nature of the Office as committed unto him. On these grounds he was Able to do infinitely more as a Priest, than all the Priests of the Order of Aaron could do. So the Apostle expresseth it in the next words.
