The Priests were ordained mediately by men out of one certain Tribe, namely, the Levitical; but God immediately, and by himself raised up Prophets out of any Tribe. 2. There is a great difference found betwixt them, as touching their function of teaching. For the Prophets were raised extraordinarily and immediately by God himself, and so received from him the doctrine which they were to declare unto men. 3. They were so guided by the special motion of the holy Ghost, that they could not err in that doctrine, which they uttered unto men in the name of God. But the Priests, as Priests, 1. Were ordinary Ministers of the old Church. 2. Were appointed by men. 3. Were tied to the doctrine of Moses & the Prophets, which they learned, not from God immediately, but mediately by men. 4. They might err in doctrine & counsel, and did err often, when they departed from the law, and were reprehended of the Prophets. Wherefore, as touching their function of teaching, the Prophets differed from the Priests of the Old Testament, after the same sort, as in the New Testament, the Apostles from other Ministers and Teachers of the Church.
