1. The Lord Christ as King of the Church is plentifully stored with all Spiritual Provisions for the Relief, Supportment, and Refreshment of all Believers in and under their Duties, and will give it out unto them as their Occasions do require. For as Melchizedek represented the Lord Christ in what he did, so Abraham in his Battle and Victory, was a Type of all Believers in their warfare and Conflict with all their Spiritual Adversaries. Wherefore as he and all his were Refreshed by the Kingly bounty of Melchizedek, so shall they be from the Munificence and unsearchable Riches of Jesus Christ.

2. Those who go to Christ merely on the Account of his Priestly Office and the Benefits thereof, shall also receive the Blessings of his Kingly Power, in abundant Supplies of Mercy and Grace. Abraham designed nothing with Melchizedek but the owning of his Sacerdotal Office in giving him the Tithes of all, and receiving his Blessing. But when he met him he was Refreshed also with his Kingly Bounty. Many poor sinners go unto Christ principally, if not only at the first, upon the account of his Sacerdotal Office, to have an Interest in his Sacrifice and Oblation, to be made partaker of the Mercy and Pardon procured thereby. But when they come to him in a way of Believing, they find that he is a King also, ready, able, powerful to relieve them, and unto whom they owe all Holy Obedience. And this Answers the Experience of many, it may be the most of them that do believe.
