Yea, This High-Priest of ours, He does not only make an atonement for sin committed, and pays the debt; but he does also become our Surety unto God the Father: He does not only pay the debt that is past, but he becomes a Surety for time to come. None of all those High-Priests, that ever did so; not Aaron, not any High-Priest that ever gave his bond unto God the Father, that any sinner should never sin no more. But our Lord Jesus Christ, our High-Priest, he becomes our Surety: and what Surety? not an ordinary surety; for amongst us, the Surety joins, and does become bound with the Debtor, but still it runs in the name of the Debtor, and the Debtor he gives the bond for to pay the debt. But now here, our Surety, he gives the bond, and we that are the Debtors, we do not give the bond for to pay the debt: there is no godly man, or believer, that ever gave a bond unto God the Father, that he will pay the debt: but our Surety comes, and the bond goes in the name of the Surety, and the Debtors name is out. Oh! what a glorious, and blessed High-Priest is here! here is a High-Priest, beyond all the High-Priests that ever did go before! And that's the Fourth thing
