AN EXPOSITION OF THE Eighth Chapter OF THE EPISTLE OF THE HEBREWS. CHAP. VIII.
There are Two General Parts of this Chapter.
I. A Father Explication of the Excellency of the Priesthood of Christ, or of Christ himself, as vested with that Office; that is, both in his Personal Glory, and in the usefulness of his Office unto the Church, above those of the Order of Aaron.
II. A further confirmation hereof; wherein is introduced the consideration of the two Covenants; the Old and the New. For unto the former was the whole Administration of the Levitical Priests confined. Of the latter Christ as our High Priest was the Mediator and Surety. And therefore the Apostle fully proves the excellency of this New Covenant above the Old, which redounds unto the Glory of its Mediator.
