Yea, thirdly, this part of his Priesthood, is of the two the more eminent, yea, the top, the height of his Priesthood; And this is held forth to us, in the Types of both those two orders of Priesthood that were before him, and figures of him; both that of Aaron and Melchizedek: 1 This was typified out in that Levitical Priesthood of Aaron and his fellows: The highest service of that office, was the going into the Holy of Holies, and making an atonement there: yea this was the height of the High priests honour, that he did this alone, and did constitute the difference between ⟨p. 122⟩him (as he was High priest,) and other Priests: For they killed and offered the sacrifices without as well as he, every ordinary Priest did that: But none but the High Priest was to approach the Holy of holies with blood, and this but once a year. Thus Heb. 9. 6, 7. The Priests (namely those inferior Priests) went always (that is, daily, morning and evening) into the first Tabernacle, (or Court of Priests, which was without the Holy of holies) accomplishing the service of God; namely, that offering of the daily sacrifice: But into the second, (namely, the Holy of holies) went the [High priests] alone every year: So then this was that high and transcendent prerogative of that High Priest then, and which indeed made him High priest; and answerably the height of our High priest's office (although he alone also could offer a satisfactory sacrifice, as the Apostle shows, Heb. 9. and 10. yet comparatively) lay in this, that he entered into the heavens by his blood, and is set down on the Majesty on high, and in the virtue of his sacrifice there doth intercede. I know but one place that calleth him the Great High priest, (higher before then Aaron) and that is, Heb. 4. 14, 16. And then it is in this respect, that he is passed into the Heavens, as it follows there.
