He was so to have somewhat to offer, as to offer it accordingly. For it would not avail the Church to have an high Priest that should have somewhat to offer, if it were not actually offered. Wherefore respect is had both unto the meetness of Christ unto his Office, and his Faithfulness therein. He had what to offer, and he did offer it.

But he elsewhere declares expressly what this was that he had to offer, what was the matter of his Sacrifice, and what it was necessary that it should be. And this was himself, His whole Humane Nature Soul and Body.
