IT hath been opened and applied, that the work of the High-Priest, was, and is, To satisfy for the sins of the people; to make Intercession for them; and to offer up their Gifts unto God the Father; all which Christ doth for us.

I shall speak of one work more of our great High-Priest, and that is, To bless the people. We read in the Old-Testament, of two sorts of High-Priests: One according to the order of Aaron, the Levitical High-Priest, (as I may so speak) and his work was, for to Bless the People; as we may read in the 6. Chapter of Numbers, & the 23. verse: Speak unto Aaron, and unto his Sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the Children of Israel, saying unto them &c. There was another High-Priest; not according to this order of Aaron; and that was Melchizedek: and he also did Bless Abraham. And the Apostle speaking of him as a great Type of, and in relation to Jesus Christ our great High-Priest, ⟨p. 77⟩in the 7. Chapter of this book of the Hebrews, and the 6. verse, saith, That he blessed Abraham: But he whose descent is not counted from them, received tithes of Abraham, and Blessed him that had the Promises. So then, this Blessing of the people, being the work of both the High-Priests; and both Aaron and Melchizedek being great types of Jesus Christ our High-Priest; Surely, it must needs be one of the great works of our High-Priest, for to bless the people.
