2. An Amplification of what is so affirmed, by the Description and Distinction of this Tabernacle; which the Lord fixed, and not man.
In the first also there are two things.
1. The Assertion of his Office, He is a Minister. 2. The Assignation and Limitation of his Discharge of that Office; it is the Sanctuary and true Tabernacle.
1. It is affirmed that he is [Greek or Hebrew], a Minister. Having declared the Glory and 1Dignity which he is exalted unto, as sitting down at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in Heaven; what can be farther expected from him? There he lives, eternally happy in the enjoyment of his own Blessedness and Glory. Is it not reasonable it should be so, after all the hardships and miseries which he, being the Son of God, underwent in this world? Who can expect that he should any longer condescend unto Office and Duty? Neither generally have men any other thoughts concerning him. But where then would lie the advantage of the Church in his Exaltation, which the Apostle designs in an especial manner to demonstrate? Wherefore unto the mention of it he immediately subjoins the continuation of his Office. He is still [Greek or Hebrew], a Public Minister for the Church.
