The faith of the fathers. Or, The articles of the true religion, all of them exhibited in the express words of the Old Testament. Partly, to confirm those who do possess that religion of God, and His Messiah. But chiefly, to engage the Jewish nation, unto the religion of their patriarchs; and, bring down the hearts of the fathers into the children, and the disobedient unto the wisdom of the just; and so, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. / By Cotton Mather. ; [Four lines of quotation]

Q. Was the Messiah, (as a Priest Entering into the Holy of Holies,) to make Intercession for those, for whom He had been a Sacrifice?
Q. Was the Messiah, (as a Priest Entring into the Holy of Holies,) to make Intercession for those, for whom He had been a Sacrifice?
A. Yes. It is written, Isa. 53.12. He bare the Sin of many, & made Intercession for the Transgressors.
Q. Must the Messiah have an Heart and Life, Exactly conformed unto the Law of God in all things?
A. Yes. It is written, Psal. 40.6, 7, 8. Sacrifice and Offering thou didst not desire, Burnt-Offering and Sin-offering thou hast not Required. Then said I, Do, I come, I delight to do thy will, O my God yea thy Law is within my Heart. And again, Isa. 53.9. He did no Violence, neither was any Deceit in His mouth.
