The Paraphrase of one of our own seems to comply herewith; which is as followeth. And this was a sort of High Priests which we sinful weak creatures had need of, (which by the way I do not understand, for we stood not in need of a new sort of High Priests, but of one single individual High Priest,) One that being mercifully disposed, is also incapable of suffering any hurt, of being defiled or corrupted, and consequently of dying, and to that end is exalted unto a pitch above our sinful corruptible condition here. So [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew] are rendered in the Margin, free from evil, and undefileable. The sense is plainly the same with that of Schlictingius, though there be some variety in the expressions of the one and the other. And therefore is Christ said to be exalted that he might be such as he is here described, as though he was not so before in the sense here intended by the Apostle, however the words here in another sense might be applied unto him.

Three things seem to be aimed at in this Exposition.
