The Person spoken of is variously Described: (1.) By his Name, Melchizedek. (2.) By his Original Office, he was a King. (3.) The place of his Rule or Dominion, which was Salem; King of Salem. (4.) By another Office added to the former, which principally belongs unto the Design of the Apostle; which is described, (1.) By the Nature of it, the Priesthood; a Priest. (2.) By its Object and Author; of the most High God. (3.) By his Actings as a Priest; he Blessed Abraham: Illustrated, (1.) By the manner of it, he met him. (2.) By the time of it, and its Circumstance, when he returned from the slaughter of the Kings. (6.) By the acknowledgement of his Office made by Abraham; he divided unto him the tenth part of all. (7.) By the Interpretation of his Name; the King of Righteousness. (8.) Of the place of his Reign; King of Peace. (9.) By sundry Properties of his Person, gathered out of the Relation of his History in the Scripture; without Father, without Mother, without Pedigree, without beginning of days, or end of life. These Descriptions in all these particulars being given of him, there are two things affirmed concerning him: (1.) That he was made like unto the Son of God. (2.) That he abideth a Priest continually; all which things must be spoken unto.
