II. PART.
HEB. 4. 15. For we have not an High-priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities: but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
THE only Use I shall make of these words is, to be a foundation unto that second part of that head or point of Doctrine into which I have made an entrance; which was to demonstrate the gracious inclination and temper of Christs he art towards sinners, now he is in Heaven.

The extrinsical Demonstrations of this (which I make the first part of it) are dispatched: And for a ground-word to these more Intrinsical Demonstrations (which make a second part) I have chosen this Text, as that which above any other speaks his heart most, and sets out the frame and workings of it towards sinners; and that so sensibly, that it doth (as it were) take our hands, and lay them upon Christs breast, and let us feel how his heart beats, and his bowels yearn towards us, even now he is in glory: The very scope of these words being manifestly to encourage Believers against all that may discourage them, from the consideration of Christs heart towards them now in heaven.
