1And two things of him are uttered. First, that he stood before, or in, or upon the Altar. We may here Imagine nothing corporally: but we must think that by this manner of speaking is signified the priesthood of Christ. He appeareth always in the sight of his father, for us: As S. Paul hath taught the .8. to the Romans, and .9. Chapter to the Hebrews. He pleadeth therefore the cause of his church before God, and is advocate for the faithful. The same moreover standeth before the Altar, the same standeth in the midst of the seat. For he is coequal with the father after his deity, after the which he standeth in the seat: and after his humanity, is of the same substance with us, according to the which dispensation he is red as Bishop and very man to stand before the Altar. The latter, which is to be observed, is this, that christ holdeth in his hand a golden censer. For he hath taken our very nature without sin, that he might make intercession for us, and offer up our prayers to God the father.

The same morouer standeth before the Aultar, the same standeth in the middes of the seate. For he is coequall with the father after his deitie, after the which he standeth in the seate: and after his humanitie, is of the same substaunce with vs, according to the which dispensation he is red as Bishop and very man to stande before the Aultar. The latter, which is to be obserued, is this, that christ holdeth in his hande a golden censer. For he hath taken our very nature without sinne, that he might make intercession for vs, and offer vp our prayers to God the father.
