I shall not insist on this Argument, to tell you how Christ was called and qualified for his priestly Office, nor of the differences 'twixt him and all other Priests: nor how that his Sacrifice was his humane nature, and the Altar was his Divine Nature, and himself according to both these natures was the Priest; My intention is only in few words to touch at this Office of Christ as our Mediator: and then to express unto you, the chief comforts from your interest in him, as to this his Office of Priesthood.
