Object. This you will say was spoken to the Priests?
Answ. But it may be said of every gracious Soul, for every Believer Christ hath made a King, Priest, and Prophet unto Himself; now there is no Believer but Jesus Christ hath separated ⟨p. 41⟩him or her from the rest of the world to be near unto God. This is the dignity that God hath put upon thee, that thou art separated by His grace to be one near to Him, whereas others of the world they depart from Him, continually depart more and more from Him; but (I say) the Lord by His grace hath set thee apart for Himself, as He saith in Psal. 4.3. The Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: Thou art separated from the world, To what end? It is that thou mightest be near to Him, this is thy privilege, and thou shouldest account it thy great honour; thou hast not that honour and respect in the world as others have, but thou art one of Gods separate Ones, that thou art near to Him.
