That Christ hath made us Priests unto God, we have the glory of his Priest-hood upon our selves, if we belong unto him; Priests, that we may offer up Sacrifice to God now acceptable; were it not through the virtue of this Priestly Office of Christ, we could not do it: But it is by the Priestly Office of Christ that all Believers are now made Priests unto God, so as they may offer Sacrifice to God acceptable; it may be thou goest to God in Prayer, and offerest up a Sacrifice to God, and thinkest God will be well pleased with it, I pray now upon what terms dost thou offer them up?

To believe in Christ is to have thy faith a•t upon Christ in his several Offices. Oh what strangers are most unto the glory of Jesus Christ? what little glory hath Christ from you, when you understand him not in those things that are his glory? or you that do understand him, oh but how seldom hath your faith acted upon him, according as he hath been set out unto you in these several things?
