II. There is a general Denotation of this Priest, as to his Qualifications, in the word [Greek or Hebrew]. He doth not now say, That we have an High Priest only, nor another High 1Priest, not according to the Ordinances of the Law, which he had proved before, from the Type of Melchizedek, and the Testimony of the Psalmist; but moreover such an one as hath that Dignity and those Excellencies which he now ascribes unto him.
