Expos. 18. Christ is our high Priest, not after the order of Aaron, but after the order of Melchizedek, Psal. 110. 4. Aaron was of the tribe of Levi, Heb. 7. 5. his stock and linage was known, Ex. 6. 16. 18. 20. he was compassed with infirmities, mortal, a sinner, and had need to offer for himself, and for his own sins, Heb. 7. 28. and 5. 2, 3. 4. and 9. 7. but Christ was of the tribe of Judah. Heb. 7. 14. without Father touching his humanity, without mother touching his deity, Heb, 7. 3. immortal and continuing for ever, holy, harmless, undefiled, who had no need to offer for himself, but offered himself for the people only, Heb. 7. 25. 26, 27.

They offered oftentimes one manner of sacrifice, but Christ hath offered himself once for all. Heb. 7. 27. and 9. 25. 26. and 10. 12. 14. 1. Pet. 3. 18. Aaron and his successors entered into the Tabernacle made with hands, Heb. 8. 5. and 9. 6. but Christ is entered into the very heavens, Heb. 9. 11. 24. and 4. 14.
