6. That in heaven he might make intercession for us with the Father, Heb. 9. 24. 1 Joh. 2. 1. Rom. 8. 34. which was shadowed out in the Law. The high Priest went into the holy place alone, and carried upon his shoulders and breast the names of the Tribes in precious stones, but the people stood a great way off, shut out in the utter court of the Temple, making their prayers there, which were carried in by the high Priest sprinkled with blood. So it is with us, we are here in this world a great way off, shut out of heaven, here we make our moan and prayers, with hearts lift up to that heavenly Sanctuary: and there doth Jesus carry our names on his breast and shoulders, and presents ⟨p. 485⟩himself for us sprinkled with his own blood, to cover and make propitiation for our sins and imperfections.
