And yet further: §6Take the High-priest in the old Law, in the times of the old Testament: and though they did offer sacrifice for some sins, and intercede; yet there was other sins again, that no sacrifice was to be offered for. If a man did kill another at un-awares, there was a sacrifice. If a man sinned ignorantly, there was a sacrifice. But says the Text in the 15. of Numbers, 30. vers. If any man sin presumptuously, he shall be cut off, and there shall be no sacrifice for him: No sacrifice, no intercession by the High-priest then. But we have such an High-priest, that makes intercessions for All sins. So he says himself: Every sin and blasphemy, shall be forgiven, except the blasphemy against the Holy-Ghost. Every sin, though it boil up to blasphemy, it shall be forgiven; but without sacrifice there is no remission: and therefore he hath made a sacrifice, and so he presents the sacrifice, and intercedes for every poor sinner: and therefore, he is such an High-priest, that transcends all the high-priests that ever was before him.
