He in whom this prefiguration of the Priesthood of Christ was made, is Melchizedek, concerning whom and his Priesthood an Account is given in the first part of the Chapter unto ver. 11. And the Description given of him consisteth of two parts: (1.) The Proposition of his story, or what is Recorded concerning him, ver. 1, 2, 3. (2.) The Application of it unto the present purpose and Design of the Apostle, ver. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. And this closeth the first General part of the Chapter.

(1.) Unto the Removal, Abolition, or taking away out of the Church, the whole Aaronical Priesthood, with all the Worship of the Tabernacle and Temple, which depended thereon. This he Evidently proves to ensue from the Respect that was had unto the Lord Christ in the Priesthood of Melchizedek, whereof he had given an Account. Hereunto do all Arguings belong, ver. 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
