He demands of […] Art thou willing that I should be a Priest for thy Soul! and we must heartily consent unto his being so; therewithal, saying like the Psalmist, in Psal. 119. 122. O be surety for thy servant for good. We must come unto Him, as unto, The Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world: Come unto Him, as unto Him, That Loves us, and washes us from our sins in His own Blood; Come unto Him, as unto that Jesus who having made Satisfaction for us on the Cross, here below, goes up, and goes on, to make Intercession for us, at the Right Hand of God▪ above. We must ask to enjoy such a JESUS in him! yea, and at the same time, we should be willing to pay the Dues of the High Priest unto him.
