IN Answer unto this Mystical Type, the great High Priest of the Church, our Lord Jesus Christ, being to enter into the Holy Place not made with hands, did by the glorious Prayer Recorded in this Chapter, influenced from the Blood of his Sacrifice, fill the Heavens above, the glorious Place of God's Residence, with a cloud of ⟨p. 2⟩Incense, or the sweet perfume of his Blessed Intercession, typed by the incense offered by the High-priest of old. By the same Eternal Fire wherewith he offered himself a bloody Sacrifice to make Atonement for Sin, he kindled in his most Holy Soul those desires for the Application of all its Benefits unto his Church, which are here expressed, and wherein his Intercession doth consist.
