The text says, That the work of the High Priest is, To make reconciliation for the sins of the people. In the times of the old Testament, the High Priest made an Atonement for the people: in case any man had finned, he brought a sacrifice, and his sins were laid upon the head of the sacrifice. Once every year, the High Priest did enter into the holy of holiest, and with the blood of the Sacrifice, did sprinkle the Mercy-Seat, and laid the sins of the people upon the head of the scape-goat and so made an atonement for the people.

He shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the Mercy-Seat east-ward: and before the Mercy-Seat shall be sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. And at the 21. verse. And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children
