A
BREEFE
TREATISE
AGAINST
THE
Priest-hood
and
Sacrifice
of
the
Church
of
Rome
.
THe
Pope
and
his
clergie
doe
stiffely
affirme
and
goe
about
to
mainetaine
,
that
they
bee
Priests
,
and
that
it
is
an
holy
Priesthood
which
they
have
:
even
the
Priesthood
of
the
New
Testamnet
Further
also
they
boast
,
that
the
sacrifice
which
they
offer
,
is
the
sonne
of
God
himselfe
,
even
Christ
Iesus
,
God
and
man
,
flesh
,
bloud
,
and
bone
,
as
he
was
borne
of
the
blessed
Virgin
.
We
on
the
contrary
affirme
that
they
be
very
Baalamites
,
and
not
Priests
of
the
New
Testament
:
and
that
their
sacrifice
is
not
the
sonne
of
God
,
but
the
stinking
and
Idolatrous
sacrifice
of
Antichrist
.
Who
shall
be
beleeved
?
we
or
they
?
Let
neither
of
both
for
our selves
have
any
credit
at
all
.
For
what
is
man
,
that
he
should
have
any
credit
?
Let
neither
of
us
be
our
owne
Iudge
,
for
then
there
would
be
partiality
:
But
let
God
onely
strike
the
stroke
,
let
him
alone
pronounce
the
sentence
,
let
that
part
be
credited
which
hath
his
witnesse
and
testimony
.
When
he
speaketh
,
let
man
keepe
silence
:
When
he
pronounceth
sentence
,
let
the
mouth
of
all
flesh
be
shut
up
:
For
who
shall
reply
against
the
words
of
his
mouth
,
which
are
in
perfect
trueth
and
wisedome
?
His
testimony
hath
he
expressely
set
downe
in
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
his
voyce
hath
he
there
uttered
,
to
declare
his
perfect
minde
and
will
:
Let
them
be
brought
forth
,
and
heard
,
search
them
,
for
so
are
ye
willed
.
Crave
the
true
understanding
at
his
hands
,
who
is
the
onely
teacher
.
If
by
them
it
be
manifestly
proved
unto
you
,
that
the
popish
Priests
be
not
the
Priests
of
the
New
Testament
,
nor
their
sacrifice
the
sonne
of
God
,
then
let
men
no
longer
doubt
,
but
that
all
their
whole
worship
is
idolatrous
and
Antichristian
.
For
if
their
priesthood
and
sacrifice
,
which
are
the
two
principall
things
be
awry
,
what
can
be
good
in
them
?
Let
us
come
to
the
triall
of
the
matter
.
And
first
in
generall
(
which
they
deny
not
)
the
word
doth
teach
,
that
the
dignity
,
privilege
,
and
office
of
the
holy
Priest
,
is
to
approch
into
the
presence
of
God
,
to
offer
giftes
,
and
sacrifice
,
and
to
make
request
and
supplication
for
the
people
.
The
necessity
of
this
office
doth
come
from
the
profanesse
and
impurity
of
men
.
All
men
are
uncleane
sinners
,
God
is
most
pure
and
holy
,
and
doth
perfectly
hate
sinne
:
And
for
the
same
cause
he
doth
curse
and
reject
all
those
which
are
polluted
therewith
.
They
can
not
approch
,
nor
indure
his
presence
,
before
whom
nothing
uncleane
can
stand
.
The
prayers
which
come
from
them
cannot
be
heard
,
being
the
prayers
of
sinners
,
and
therefore
not
cleane
.
No
gift
can
be
accepted
at
their
hands
,
to
make
any
reconcilement
or
to
get
any
favour
,
they
and
all
theirs
are
still
rejected
,
they
must
either
have
some
other
to
do
it
for
them
,
or
else
for
ever
remaine
still
out
of
favour
,
and
be
utterly
cast
away
in
eternall
perdition
.
He
that
shall
do
it
,
must
be
without
spot
or
sinne
,
and
therefore
among
all
the
sonnes
of
Adam
,
only
Iesus
Christ
is
found
worthy
and
able
to
execute
this
office
.
For
if
we
respect
this
great
worke
of
reconciliation
betweene
God
and
men
,
we
shall
finde
that
alone
he
hath
wrought
it
,
and
therefore
is
the
onely
Priest
of
God
.
None
other
can
in
such
consideration
be
called
Priests
.
It
is
true
in
deede
that
Aaron
and
his
sonnes
were
consecrated
and
made
Priests
,
and
did
execute
the
Ministery
of
the
Priesthood
in
the
Temple
:
But
yet
as
their
sacrifices
did
not
,
nor
could
not
take
away
sinne
,
being
but
shadowes
and
the
resemblance
of
the
sacrifice
of
Ch●ist
,
so
also
they
were
not
sacrifices
in
deede
,
but
so
called
,
for
that
they
were
the
patterne
of
that
which
is
the
true
sacrifice
.
The
same
is
to
be
said
of
the
Priests
,
that
they
were
no
o
her
Priests
,
but
in
figure
,
because
they
did
resemble
Christ
,
who
alone
is
a
Priest
in
truth
.
Those
o
her
Priests
were
separated
from
the
people
,
and
consecrated
to
the
service
of
the
Temple
.
The
cheife
of
them
might
enter
into
the
most
holy
place
,
and
come
before
the
Arcke
of
the
covenant
and
the
mercy
seate
,
and
there
offer
with
bloud
to
make
reco●ciliation
.
They
bare
the
names
of
the
tribes
of
Israel
,
and
so
presented
them
before
the
Lord
.
But
yet
all
was
but
a
shadow
,
to
direct
the
eyes
of
their
faith
unto
Christ
:
for
these
Priests
could
not
wash
away
sinne
,
they
could
not
bring
men
into
heaven
,
and
therefore
when
he
came
,
which
is
the
Priest
indeede
,
and
which
doth
accomplish
that
which
was
by
them
but
resembled
:
then
all
those
shadowes
did
cease
and
give
place
.
He
continueth
a
Priest
for
ever
.
He
hath
perfectly
wrought
the
worke
of
reconciliation
,
and
brought
men
into
favour
with
God
.
For
with
the
sacrifice
of
his
body
he
hath
ransomed
them
,
and
with
his
bloud
he
hath
purged
away
their
sinnes
with
full
satisfaction
,
and
his
prayers
have
beene
accepted
:
He
hath
received
honour
and
power
to
save
for
ever
all
those
whom
he
doth
sanctifie
.
Now
the
question
is
,
whether
any
can
be
joyned
with
him
in
this
office
,
and
be
partakers
with
him
in
this
high
dignity
,
as
to
offer
up
to
God
the
same
sacrifice
which
he
offered
.
For
this
is
without
all
controversie
,
that
such
as
do
challenge
a
copartnership
with
him
in
offring
the
sacrifice
,
and
gift
which
he
did
offer
,
do
also
challenge
a
fellowship
with
him
in
the
dignity
and
glory
of
the
Priesthood
by
which
he
did
offer
worthy
in
heaven
and
earth
,
but
onely
the
Lambe
,
as
he
is
the
Mediatour
of
a
better
Testament
,
Hebr.
8.
6.
The
excellency
of
the
ministery
of
Aaron
and
his
sonnes
,
was
according
to
the
worthinesse
of
the
Testament
,
whereof
they
were
the
Mediators
.
Furthermore
,
they
could
not
have
that
honour
to
be
Priests
,
or
mediators
of
that
Testament
,
wherein
there
was
but
the
shadow
of
good
things
to
come
,
Heb.
10.
1.
unlesse
it
had
beene
given
them
of
God
:
as
it
is
expressed
,
Heb.
5.
where
he
speaketh
of
that
Priesthood
of
the
lawe
,
which
hath
now
ceased
.
Seeing
none
could
have
this
honour
to
be
a
Priest
of
the
old
Testament
,
but
such
as
were
called
of
God
as
was
Aaron
:
then
how
much
lesse
shall
any
be
partakers
of
this
dignity
with
the
sonne
of
God
to
be
the
Priests
&
mediators
of
the
new
covenant
,
but
such
as
can
shew
that
God
hath
given
them
this
honour
?
Christ
did
not
take
this
honour
to
himselfe
,
Hebr.
5.
but
he
that
said
,
Thou
art
my
sonne
,
this
day
have
I
begotten
thee
,
gave
it
him
.
The
Lord
sware
that
he
should
be
a
priest
.
Let
the
Papists
shew
any
calling
which
they
have
of
God
unto
this
glory
of
the
Pristhood
:
Let
them
shew
any
one
Mediator
betweene
God
and
man
,
1
Tim.
2.
And
therefore
also
it
followeth
,
that
there
is
but
one
Priest
.
Because
the
Priest
of
the
new
Testament
is
the
mediator
of
the
same
,
is
there
any
man
so
mad
as
to
ascribe
this
glory
to
the
Pope
and
his
priests
,
as
to
say
they
be
mediators
of
the
new
Testament
?
If
not
,
then
are
they
no
priests
.
Now
,
although
this
is
sufficient
to
proove
their
priesthood
to
be
counterfait
,
that
they
can
shew
no
calling
in
the
word
,
nor
no
mention
that
any
one
of
the
Apostles
was
a
priest
,
or
that
any
man
should
have
such
honour
:
yet
to
make
the
matter
more
evident
,
I
will
shew
by
further
reasons
,
that
their
priesthood
is
such
,
that
it
cannot
stand
with
the
priesthood
of
Christ
.
We
all
know
,
that
the
Lord
swore
that
his
sonne
should
arise
up
a
Priest
for
ever
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
,
Psal.
110.
Then
if
it
fall
out
,
as
it
shal
be
manifestly
shewed
,
that
the
Priesthood
of
the
Papacy
is
directly
contrary
unto
that
order
of
Melchisedech
:
It
must
needs
also
follow
that
the
same
is
not
of
God
▪
The
order
of
the
priesthood
of
Melchisedech
is
gathered
out
of
that
which
Moses
saith
of
him
,
Genesis
14.
the
words
are
these
:
and
Melchisedech
King
of
Salem
brought
foorth
bread
and
wine
,
which
was
also
a
priest
of
the
most
high
God
.
And
he
blessed
him
,
saying
,
Blessed
be
Abram
of
the
most
high
God
,
possessor
of
heaven
and
earth
,
and
blessed
be
the
most
high
God
,
which
hath
delivered
thine
adversaries
into
thine
hand
,
and
he
gave
him
tythe
of
all
.
This
man
was
greater
than
the
Patriarch
Abraham
,
as
it
is
proved
by
two
reasons
,
Hebr.
7.
the
one
that
Abraham
paid
him
tithes
:
The
other
,
that
he
blessed
Abraham
.
Then
Moses
writing
of
so
great
a
man
not
mentioning
father
nor
mother
,
nor
kindred
,
beginning
,
nor
end
of
his
life
▪
although
he
had
a
father
and
a
mother
,
and
kinred
,
and
had
both
a
beginning
and
an
end
:
yet
because
Moses
mentioneth
not
any
of
these
,
it
is
said
,
that
he
was
without
father
,
without
beginning
of
dayes
,
and
without
end
of
life
,
as
though
he
were
one
that
had
suddenly
come
downe
from
heaven
.
When
it
is
said
,
that
he
was
a
Priest
of
the
most
high
God
,
no
mention
made
of
any
annoynting
,
of
any
ministring
garments
,
of
any
temple
,
altar
,
or
sacrifice
,
not
yet
of
any
that
did
succeed
him
,
it
is
gathered
that
he
doth
continue
a
priest
for
ever
.
And
moreover
,
that
in
his
Priesthood
all
things
are
spirituall
and
full
of
endles
power
.
By
this
argument
,
the
holy
Ghost
proveth
Heb.
7.
ver.
16.
17.
18.
that
the
priesthood
of
the
Levites
was
abrogate
,
and
could
not
stand
with
the
Priesthood
of
Christ
,
seeing
it
could
give
no
strength
nor
furtherance
thereto
:
for
the
one
being
spirituall
,
and
according
to
the
power
of
the
life
that
is
not
dissolved
,
the
other
,
as
he
speaketh
being
after
the
law
of
the
carnall
commandement
,
they
could
not
be
joyned
so
together
as
that
the
one
might
be
a
supply
unto
the
defect
of
the
other
.
For
although
the
law
of
the
carnall
commandement
,
which
is
so
called
,
not
in
respect
of
the
founder
thereof
,
which
was
God
,
but
for
that
the
substance
of
the
things
were
bodily
and
carnall
)
did
profit
and
benefit
men
thus
farre
,
that
by
outward
carnal
things
,
they
had
the
resemblance
of
things
spirituall
to
strengthen
their
faith
.
Yet
when
he
was
come
,
in
whom
was
all
the
spirituall
and
heavenly
power
of
the
Priesthood
,
those
carnall
and
earthly
things
were
to
cease
.
As
for
example
:
Aaron
was
annointed
with
materiall
oyle
,
he
was
clothed
with
the
ministring
garments
,
he
entred
into
a
tabernacle
upon
earth
which
was
built
with
hands
,
he
had
the
bloud
of
calves
and
goates
,
&
slaine
beasts
for
sacrifice
,
he
presented
the
names
of
the
tribes
before
the
mercy
seat
.
All
these
and
such
like
are
the
carnall
commandement
,
these
did
not
take
away
sinne
,
nor
restore
into
favour
with
God
:
But
Christ
alone
is
the
priest
that
wrought
that
.
His
annoynting
was
not
with
oyle
,
but
with
the
holy
Ghost
:
He
needeth
no
holy
garments
,
for
there
was
no
spot
of
uncleannesse
in
him
to
be
covered
.
He
came
not
with
the
bloud
of
slaine
beastes
,
but
with
his
owne
bloud
.
He
entred
not
into
the
Tabernacle
made
with
hands
,
to
appeare
for
us
,
and
to
present
us
before
the
Arke
:
but
he
is
entred
into
the
very
heavens
,
even
unto
the
throne
of
God
,
to
present
us
there
.
Thus
then
it
followeth
that
the
Priesthood
of
Aaron
,
being
after
the
law
of
the
carnall
commandement
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
consecration
was
with
things
that
were
earthly
and
of
a
bodily
substance
,
the
sacrifices
also
of
the
same
sort
,
it
could
do
nothing
.
But
the
Priesthood
of
Christ
,
wherein
all
things
are
heavenly
and
spirituall
,
and
full
of
●…e
power
,
hath
fully
and
perfectly
accomplished
the
worke
of
reconciliation
.
If
this
order
then
of
Melchisedech
,
wherein
there
is
nothing
carnall
,
did
abolish
the
order
of
the
Priesthood
of
Aaron
,
wherein
all
things
were
carnall
,
because
the
carnall
things
cannot
helpe
at
all
to
bring
men
to
heaven
,
and
because
the
order
of
the
one
Priesthood
did
so
differ
from
the
other
,
as
being
of
a
quite
contrary
nature
:
It
must
needs
follow
that
the
Priesthood
of
the
Papacy
cannot
stand
with
the
Priesthood
o●
Christ
,
because
it
is
also
carnall
.
For
was
the
oyle
upon
Aaron
carnall
,
and
is
not
their
annointing
and
sh●ving
carnall
?
Were
all
the
ministring
garments
of
Aaron
carnall
,
and
are
not
their
vestments
,
as
the
Cope
,
the
Surplesse
,
the
But
peradventure
ye
will
say
:
Melchisedech
was
a
Priest
,
&
he
offred
sacrifice
to
God
as
other
priests
at
that
time
.
Wherfore
should
it
then
be
gathered
that
there
was
no
carnal
thing
in
substance
belonging
to
the
execution
of
his
function
?
He
had
an
Altar
,
he
had
beasts
to
offer
,
and
no
doubt
did
offer
.
I
Answere
that
albeit
Melchisedech
did
execute
the
priests
office
,
after
the
manner
of
other
priests
,
yet
that
is
nothing
to
the
purpose
.
For
the
order
of
his
priesthood
is
gathered
out
of
that
description
of
Moses
in
which
there
is
no
mention
of
such
things
.
We
are
not
to
doubt
but
that
he
had
father
and
mother
,
that
he
was
borne
as
an
other
man
,
and
also
had
an
end
of
his
dayes
:
Neverthel
sse
,
because
those
things
are
left
out
,
he
is
brought
in
as
one
which
never
had
beginning
,
and
that
never
had
end
,
but
continueth
a
priest
for
ever
.
In
like
sort
,
howsoever
at
any
time
he
executed
the
office
of
a
priest
,
as
others
did
:
yet
because
there
is
no
such
thing
expressed
,
and
that
which
is
expressed
,
is
that
wherein
he
is
likened
unto
the
Sonne
of
God
,
it
is
said
,
that
he
was
a
priest
after
another
order
,
and
that
there
was
nothing
carnall
in
his
p
iesthood
.
Therefore
we
are
to
conclude
,
that
the
priesthood
of
the
new
testament
having
nothing
in
it
that
is
carnall
,
the
priesthood
of
the
papacy
being
and
consisting
altogether
of
things
carnall
,
and
such
as
were
also
the
inventions
of
men
,
it
must
needes
follow
,
that
they
are
not
priests
of
any
testament
of
God
,
but
he
priests
of
Antichrist
.
Further
,
let
it
be
considered
,
that
a
priest
must
arise
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
that
shall
so
continue
for
ever
:
For
the
eternall
Sonne
of
God
was
resembled
by
Melchisedech
in
that
he
is
brought
in
without
any
beginning
:
The
continuance
also
of
his
office
for
ever
,
in
that
there
is
nothing
said
of
his
death
nor
of
any
that
did
succeede
him
.
This
then
being
manifest
,
what
impudent
wretches
are
those
which
being
mortall
men
,
that
have
an
end
,
dare
so
blasphemously
boast
,
that
they
be
Priests
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
?
how
shall
they
ever
be
able
to
answere
unto
this
?
The
Priest
of
the
new
Testament
is
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
Priest
for
ever
,
without
beginning
,
without
end
,
without
any
to
succeede
him
:
Their
priesthood
hath
a
beginning
,
it
hath
an
end
,
they
have
those
that
do
succeed
one
after
another
.
If
this
be
a
materiall
poynt
in
that
order
of
priesthood
which
Christ
should
be
after
,
as
none
unlesse
his
forehead
be
of
brasse
dare
deny
,
that
it
should
be
for
ever
:
What
a
childishnes
were
it
for
any
man
to
thinke
that
the
priesthood
of
the
papacy
is
the
same
when
it
doth
faile
in
that
which
is
essentiall
?
For
they
dye
and
come
to
an
ende
.
Are
not
these
contrary
the
one
to
the
other
,
to
continue
a
priest
for
ever
as
Melchisedech
in
figure
,
and
Christ
indeed
,
and
to
be
priests
for
certaine
yeares
,
and
then
to
cease
by
reason
of
death
?
Are
not
then
the
priests
made
at
Rome
contrary
to
this
order
,
yea
,
as
contrary
as
light
is
unto
darkenesse
,
or
as
heaven
is
unto
hell
?
And
must
it
not
still
follow
,
that
seeing
they
be
no
priests
of
the
old
Testament
,
nor
can
not
be
priests
of
the
New
,
unto
the
which
their
order
is
contrary
,
that
their
priesthood
may
be
as
good
as
the
priesthood
of
Baal
,
and
better
it
cannot
be
?
For
if
it
be
not
of
God
,
is
it
not
then
of
the
Divell
?
Let
all
true
Christians
therefore
behold
with
detestation
this
hellish
sacriledge
of
the
Romish
bishop
,
who
being
a
priest
after
the
divells
order
,
yet
saieth
,
he
is
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
.
Moreover
it
is
to
be
noted
,
which
the
holy
Ghost
sayeth
,
Heb.
7.
ver.
26.
that
such
an
high
priest
it
became
us
to
have
,
as
was
holy
,
harmelesse
,
unspotted
,
separate
from
sinnes
,
and
made
higher
than
the
heavens
.
This
setteth
foorth
the
purity
,
and
also
the
high
dignity
which
of
necessity
are
required
in
that
priest
,
that
shall
deale
in
our
cause
to
bring
us
to
God
.
For
if
he
were
a
sinner
himselfe
,
how
should
he
come
unto
God
?
If
he
were
spotted
with
any
uncleannes
,
how
should
he
purchase
favour
for
others
?
seeing
he
should
himselfe
be
out
of
favour
.
If
he
were
unholy
,
how
should
he
sanctify
and
make
holy
those
whom
he
doth
present
unto
God
?
In
like
sort
it
is
to
be
weighed
,
how
great
that
man
must
be
of
necessity
,
that
is
to
enter
ever
unto
the
thron●
of
glory
and
there
abide
,
as
one
able
to
save
all
that
come
unto
God
by
him
.
For
thus
he
must
be
made
higher
than
the
heavens
,
and
aboue
all
creatures
in
the
heavens
.
For
albeit
the
holy
and
blessed
angels
be
separate
from
sinners
,
and
be
also
about
the
throne
of
God
,
yet
none
of
them
hath
this
glory
to
be
made
higher
than
the
heavens
,
none
of
them
then
can
have
the
honour
of
the
priesthood
,
to
obtaine
pardon
of
sinnes
for
the
Church
,
that
glory
and
power
being
reserved
onely
to
the
Sonne
who
is
farre
aboue
principallities
and
powers
.
Such
a
priest
as
this
must
bring
vs
that
are
base
and
sinfull
wretches
unto
God
,
in
him
we
must
be
sanctified
;
in
him
we
must
obtaine
favour
,
in
him
we
must
be
heard
,
that
is
so
high
in
favour
,
that
no
request
can
be
denied
him
.
In
him
we
must
be
saved
who
hath
received
all
power
and
authority
both
in
heaven
&
earth
,
and
liveth
for
ever
.
What
fouler
beastlinesse
then
can
there
be
than
this
,
that
sinfull
,
unholy
,
and
base
wormes
of
the
earth
,
should
challenge
unto
themselues
to
be
Priestes
of
the
New
Testament
?
yea
,
that
such
filly
Asses
,
as
are
scarce
fit
to
keepe
swine
,
will
yet
have
that
office
,
that
the
glorie
,
honor
,
and
power
of
,
is
aboue
the
Angels
,
let
all
men
judge
now
of
this
conclusion
.
The
Priests
of
the
New
Testament
,
is
pure
and
holy
,
separated
from
sinners
,
made
higher
than
the
heavens
.
The
POPE
and
all
his
broode
are
sinfull
whoremongers
,
theeues
and
murtherers
,
base
and
vile
wretches
of
the
earth
,
farre
off
from
being
higher
then
the
heavens
.
Therefore
their
priesthood
is
not
the
priesthood
of
the
New
Testament
.
There
is
also
another
notable
difference
betweene
the
old
priesthood
and
the
newe
:
that
those
former
did
minister
in
earth
,
in
a
Tabernacle
made
with
hands
,
which
had
no
enduring
substance
:
This
latter
is
entred
into
the
Sanctuarie
of
Heaven
,
and
there
doth
execute
the
Priests
office
,
he
doth
not
any
thing
in
an
earthly
sanctuarie
.
For
why
?
His
Priesthood
is
heavenly
and
eternall
;
his
Tabernacle
must
be
agreeable
unto
the
same
.
And
it
is
said
that
if
he
were
one
eareh
,
he
could
not
be
a
Priest
,
wh●le
those
Priestes
did
stand
which
were
after
the
Law
,
Heb.
8.
4.
For
although
our
Lord
were
a
Priest
indeed
when
he
was
vpon
earth
,
and
did
offer
the
sacrifice
of
his
body
,
yet
ye
see
there
was
no
outward
thing
that
the
Priests
vpon
earth
doe
.
His
body
was
slaine
upon
earth
,
but
was
it
caried
into
the
Temple
,
and
slaine
at
the
Altar
?
Was
the
blood
sprinkled
before
the
Arke
of
the
covenant
?
No
,
all
things
were
heavenly
and
spirituall
in
this
sacrifice
.
If
we
regard
the
substance
of
his
body
,
it
was
the
same
that
ours
is
.
But
yet
all
the
vertue
and
efficacy
of
the
same
,
when
it
was
a
slaine
sacrifice
,
was
from
aboue
.
And
so
though
he
were
in
earth
,
yet
the
whole
fruite
of
his
worke
was
in
heaven
.
For
he
being
both
God
and
man
,
was
a
Priest
even
then
in
heaven
,
when
he
was
slaine
upon
earth
.
The
vertue
and
power
of
the
sacrifice
to
purge
away
sinne
,
was
not
of
the
manhood
from
it selfe
:
but
the
manhood
had
it
from
the
Godhead
,
in
that
the
manhood
was
so
united
unto
the
godhead
,
that
they
made
one
person
.
In
this
sense
he
saith
,
Iohn
6.
ver.
63.
It
is
the
spirit
that
qu
ckeneth
,
the
flesh
profiteth
nothing
.
Howsoever
the
flesh
of
Christ
hath
power
in
it
to
give
life
,
as
in
deede
it
is
the
bread
of
life
,
and
whosoever
doeth
eate
of
it
shall
live
for
ever
:
yet
it
hath
not
this
life
of
it selfe
,
but
from
the
Godhead
.
Likewise
the
bloud
is
able
to
purge
away
sinne
,
because
it
is
the
bloud
of
a
man
which
is
also
God
.
It
is
also
said
,
1.
Cor.
15.
The
first
man
was
of
the
earth
earthly
.
The
second
m●n
was
the
Lord
from
heaven
heavenly
.
Wherefore
is
he
called
a
man
from
heaven
heavenly
?
was
it
because
his
flesh
was
from
heaven
?
cursed
be
he
which
so
holdeth
.
No
,
it
was
because
all
the
vertue
and
efficacy
which
was
in
his
manhood
to
redeeme
the
world
,
was
from
heaven
.
We
see
then
that
he
being
sacrificed
in
earth
,
the
efficacy
of
his
Priesthood
was
in
heaven
.
There
is
nothing
in
his
Priesthood
,
nor
in
the
execution
thereof
which
is
earthly
.
But
these
priests
are
altogether
earth
,
and
what
can
they
doe
without
earth
?
A
Temple
they
must
have
on
earth
,
an
Altar
of
earth
,
many
other
things
of
earth
,
which
proove
that
all
their
ministery
and
function
is
earthy
.
Then
to
New
Testament
is
not
a
Priest
upon
earth
,
nor
executeth
not
the
Priests
office
but
in
the
heavenly
Tabernacle
.
The
Romanes
are
Priests
upon
earth
,
they
minister
with
earthly
things
,
in
earthly
Tabernacles
,
and
upon
Altars
consecrated
to
that
purpose
.
Who
doth
not
see
therefore
,
that
they
have
no
affinity
at
all
with
Christ
?
Moreover
,
if
it
may
be
demaunded
,
is
sir
Iohn
a
King
?
Surely
then
have
there
beene
many
lousie
Kings
.
Every
one
which
is
a
Priest
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
is
a
King
,
for
those
two
are
joyned
together
in
his
order
,
the
kingdome
,
and
the
priest
hood
.
Is
there
any
man
so
foolish
as
to
take
these
to
be
kings
?
They
may
be
taken
for
priests
,
but
not
after
the
order
of
Melchisedech
so
long
as
they
have
but
shaven
crownes
,
and
not
crownes
of
gold
nor
after
the
order
of
Aaron
which
is
ceased
:
but
after
the
order
of
the
priests
of
Baal
.
If
they
object
that
the
Pope
hath
both
swords
,
the
spirituall
,
and
the
civill
,
and
therefore
he
is
a
King
and
a
Priest
,
I
answere
,
that
therein
he
is
more
unlike
Christ
,
whose
kingdome
is
not
of
this
world
.
The
kingdome
of
Christ
is
spirituall
,
he
medled
not
with
the
civill
sword
,
but
lef●
it
to
the
Magistrate
:
The
Pope
chalenging
it
,
is
not
of
that
order
which
Christ
is
▪
New
Testament
there
is
but
one
,
seeing
none
can
have
that
honour
to
be
Priest
,
but
they
which
are
called
of
God
,
and
the
Papistes
can
shew
no
calling
,
nor
consecrating
of
Priestes
in
the
New
Testament
.
Seeing
in
the
order
of
Melchisedech
,
all
things
are
spirituall
and
full
of
endlesse
power
,
in
the
order
of
Popery
all
things
carnall
,
Melchisedech
continueth
for
ever
,
these
die
:
Seeing
also
the
Priest
of
the
New
Testament
must
be
perfectly
holy
and
pure
,
without
spot
of
sinne
,
and
higher
than
the
heavens
,
the
sir
Iohn
is
not
a
king
:
It
doth
follow
,
that
their
order
of
Priesthood
is
not
of
God
:
but
they
be
the
idolatrous
priestes
of
Antichrist
.
They
cannot
by
their
ministry
and
Priesthood
bring
men
unto
God
,
but
contrariwise
they
carry
headlong
unto
the
divell
.
Such
therefore
as
will
save
their
soules
must
not
be
blind
and
wilfull
,
but
open
their
eyes
and
behold
the
claere
and
manifest
truth
of
God
,
which
he
hath
taught
in
his
word
.
As
we
have
proved
this
one
part
,
so
let
us
now
come
to
the
other
,
that
is
,
to
shew
that
the
sacrifice
which
they
offer
,
is
not
the
sonne
of
God
,
but
New
Testament
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
.
Those
reasons
which
are
there
brought
to
prove
that
the
sacrifices
of
the
law
could
doe
nothing
,
and
therefore
were
to
be
abolished
,
will
also
serve
to
throw
downe
the
abominable
idol
of
the
Papists
.
For
if
the
weaknes
of
those
former
sacrifices
were
gathered
by
their
nature
and
order
which
was
used
in
them
,
then
shall
the
sacrifice
of
the
Masse
,
if
it
bee
found
to
differ
as
farre
and
further
from
that
of
Christes
,
than
those
,
be
found
not
to
be
the
sacrifice
of
the
New
Testament
.
In
the
Epistle
to
the
Hebrewes
,
Chap.
9.
ver.
1
▪
it
is
said
,
that
the
former
covenant
had
also
ordinances
of
religion
,
and
a
worldly
sanctuary
,
and
there
he
doth
repeate
particularly
sundry
things
,
as
the
Candlesticke
,
the
Table
,
the
shew
bread
,
the
Golden
censure
,
the
Arke
of
the
Testament
,
the
Golden
pot
with
Manna
,
Aarons
Rod
that
had
budded
,
and
the
Tables
of
the
Testament
.
In
this
worldly
Sanctuary
,
with
these
foresaid
ordinances
of
the
same
nature
,
did
the
priests
of
the
law
exercise
their
office
:
and
this
is
one
argument
to
prove
that
their
priesthood
was
weake
and
could
not
bring
men
unto
God
.
For
the
habitation
of
God
is
in
the
heavens
,
there
is
his
throne
of
glory
,
and
most
high
majesty
thither
must
those
be
brought
which
shall
come
unto
him
,
whereupon
it
followeth
,
that
the
Priest
that
shall
bring
men
unto
God
,
must
be
a
minister
of
the
Tabernacle
of
Heaven
.
For
the
entring
into
the
holy
place
made
with
hands
,
and
the
ministring
in
the
same
with
ordinances
of
the
like
nature
,
that
is
to
say
,
earthly
and
transitory
,
can
by
no
meanes
bring
men
eternally
unto
God
:
For
how
shall
earthly
things
compasse
heavenly
,
or
things
which
vanish
and
decay
,
bring
that
to
passe
which
shall
last
for
ever
?
Those
Priests
therefore
,
whose
priesthood
was
transitory
,
for
their
priesthood
must
needs
be
of
the
same
nature
and
condition
that
their
temple
and
ordinances
were
,
and
can
stand
no
longer
than
they
,
were
for
to
cease
,
when
the
time
was
come
unto
which
they
were
prefixed
.
Vnto
these
is
Christ
opposed
in
the
same
Hebr.
9.
ver.
24.
where
he
saith
that
Christ
is
not
entred
into
the
holy
places
made
with
hands
,
which
are
similitudes
of
the
true
sanctuary
,
but
is
entred
into
heaven
it selfe
to
appeare
in
the
sight
of
God
for
us
.
For
as
the
sacrifice
which
he
offred
was
heavenly
and
of
eternall
power
,
so
also
is
his
Tabernacle
,
and
likewise
his
Priesthood
.
For
those
three
must
ever
be
joyned
together
.
Then
if
the
Priesthood
of
Aaron
,
and
his
sacrifices
could
doe
nothing
,
but
were
to
cease
because
their
Tabernacle
and
ordinances
were
worldly
:
how
much
lesse
shall
the
greasie
popish
priestes
be
able
to
offer
any
sacrifice
to
appease
Gods
wrath
,
seeing
the
sacrifice
which
must
do
that
,
is
heavenly
and
spirituall
,
and
cannot
be
offred
in
a
worldly
sanctuary
,
nor
with
such
ordinances
as
be
of
earthie
nature
?
For
it
is
most
manifest
that
all
the
trinkets
If
the
blinde
idolatous
Papists
will
object
,
that
the
efficacy
of
their
sacrifice
and
priesthood
is
heavenly
,
although
it
be
executed
on
earth
,
they
are
to
be
answered
,
that
if
the
efficacy
of
their
priest
hood
be
heavenly
,
then
is
it
eternall
,
but
they
are
mortall
and
doe
not
remaine
Priests
world
without
ende
.
Againe
,
the
power
of
the
sacrifice
dependeth
upon
the
power
of
the
priest
,
and
so
their
sacrifice
is
not
eternall
.
This
thing
shall
be
yet
more
manifest
by
a
further
comparison
which
is
made
betweene
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
,
and
those
of
the
law
in
the
same
Chapter
.
verse
.
13.
and
14.
where
that
if
the
bloud
of
calues
and
of
goates
,
and
the
ashes
of
a
red
Heffer
sprinkling
those
that
were
defiled
did
sanctifie
as
touching
the
carnall
purging
:
then
how
much
more
shall
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
which
by
his
eternall
spirit
,
offred
himselfe
to
God
without
spot
,
purge
your
conscience
from
dead
workes
to
serve
the
living
God
?
This
comparison
is
brought
in
to
prove
that
Christ
by
entring
once
into
the
holy
places
,
by
his
owne
bloud
,
hath
found
eternall
redemption
:
for
that
being
the
summe
of
the
two
verses
going
next
before
,
is
proved
by
this
.
It
was
graunted
without
controversie
,
that
by
reason
of
gods
ordinances
,
the
bloud
of
those
poore
beasts
,
and
the
water
made
with
the
ashes
of
the
Heffer
,
being
but
a
dead
thing
had
power
in
some
manner
to
purge
,
as
namely
that
which
he
calleth
the
carnall
purging
.
For
if
a
man
were
polluted
with
any
outward
pollution
,
and
there
fore
might
not
come
unto
those
holy
things
which
were
the
carnall
commandements
,
being
but
shadowes
and
ceremonies
,
yet
if
he
were
sprinkled
with
those
,
although
he
were
not
purged
within
from
sinne
,
he
was
counted
cleane
:
then
how
much
more
shall
the
bloud
of
the
sonne
of
God
,
which
hath
the
power
of
life
in
it
,
because
it
is
the
bloud
If
there
be
a
new
redemption
to
be
wrought
,
then
let
them
be
the
priestes
:
in
the
meane
time
they
are
foule
idolaters
,
and
sacrilegious
wretches
,
destroying
the
power
of
Christs
death
,
when
they
will
take
upon
them
to
do
that
which
he
hath
already
perfectly
finished
.
Come
forth
ye
blinde
Papists
,
and
prove
that
ye
are
more
than
men
,
shew
also
that
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
once
offered
,
hath
not
an
eternall
and
perfect
power
to
purge
away
sinne
,
or
else
confesse
that
yours
is
Antichristian
.
We
may
joyne
hereunto
that
which
is
used
to
prove
that
the
sacrifices
of
the
Leviticall
priestes
did
not
purge
sinne
:
namely
,
that
they
were
so
often
offered
.
For
thereby
the
holy
Ghost
doth
teach
that
they
were
not
able
to
sanctifie
the
commers
therto
,
Heb.
10.
1.
For
then
,
as
he
sayeth
,
they
should
haue
ceased
,
because
there
should
have
beene
no
more
conscience
of
sinne
in
the
worshippers
,
being
once
purged
.
The
reason
is
manifest
,
drawen
from
the
effect
of
the
medicine
:
for
if
it
have
taken
away
the
disease
,
and
perfected
the
cure
,
then
is
it
vaine
to
adde
it
any
more
.
If
it
be
still
continually
,
and
from
time
to
time
applyed
to
the
sore
as
still
remaining
,
then
it
may
be
said
truely
,
that
the
same
medicine
doth
not
heale
,
Wherefore
he
addeth
this
proofe
,
that
notwithstanding
the
sacrifices
were
offred
,
yet
there
remained
the
mention
of
sinnes
yerely
,
when
they
kept
that
solemne
day
of
expiation
.
This
disease
of
sinne
still
remaining
as
the
continuall
mention
and
remembrance
thereof
doeth
shew
:
it
followeth
,
that
those
sacrifices
did
nor
could
not
purge
it
away
.
Vnto
these
is
opposed
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
,
which
because
it
hath
perfectly
purged
sinne
for
ever
,
so
that
there
remaineth
no
more
conscience
thereof
in
those
that
are
sanctified
:
it
is
done
but
once
,
and
never
to
be
repeated
or
don
againe
.
The
other
which
were
Priests
in
the
law
stood
daily
ministring
,
and
often
offring
the
same
sacrifices
,
which
could
never
take
away
sinne
.
But
this
man
having
offered
one
sacrifice
for
sinne
,
sitteth
for
ever
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
from
henceforth
waiting
untill
his
enemies
be
made
his
footstoole
,
Heb.
10.
ver.
11.
12.
The
former
did
stand
daily
ministring
as
those
which
had
not
,
nor
could
not
accomplish
the
worke
of
reconciliation
,
although
they
offred
never
so
often
:
But
he
having
once
offered
,
ceaseth
from
offring
,
and
is
set
downe
in
the
highest
throne
of
majesty
and
glory
,
because
as
it
is
there
said
,
he
hath
with
one
oblation
made
perfect
for
ever
those
which
are
sanctified
.
If
his
sacrifice
did
abolish
sinne
but
for
a
time
,
as
for
a
yeere
,
or
certaine
yeres
,
then
should
he
either
bring
nothing
to
passe
,
or
else
returne
often
and
sundry
times
from
his
glory
to
offer
againe
.
This
is
also
confirmed
in
the
same
Chapter
.
ver.
18.
by
a
conclusion
which
is
drawen
out
of
the
forme
of
words
which
the
Lord
useth
in
the
promise
which
he
maketh
of
the
New
Testament
:
as
namely
,
that
he
will
remember
their
sinnes
and
their
iniquities
no
more
.
He
reasoneth
in
this
manner
,
where
God
remembreth
not
sinne
,
there
he
hath
given
pardon
and
remission
,
for
that
he
collecteth
,
and
where
there
is
pardon
,
there
is
no
more
sacrifice
for
sinne
.
Now
therefore
,
when
we
see
this
to
be
most
manifest
by
the
plaine
doctrine
of
Gods
word
,
let
us
consider
the
abominable
wickednesse
of
the
Papists
which
by
their
sacrifice
overturne
all
this
.
For
whereas
there
is
remission
of
sinnes
already
purchased
,
what
place
can
there
be
for
their
sacrifice
propitiatory
?
whereas
that
sacrifice
is
unperfect
,
and
cannot
take
away
sinne
which
is
often
offred
,
how
is
theirs
the
perfect
sacrifice
of
Christs
body
,
which
is
continually
done
againe
and
againe
?
What
doe
they
lesse
therefore
when
they
teach
,
that
in
the
Masse
they
offer
Christ
to
his
father
,
to
be
a
sacrifice
to
take
away
sinne
:
than
affirme
that
the
promise
of
the
but
with
one
offering
hath
he
made
perfect
for
ever
those
which
are
sanctified
.
This
doth
cut
the
throte
of
their
often
offring
,
when
his
one
offring
had
made
perfect
for
ever
:
for
it
leaveth
nothing
behinde
for
such
caitives
as
they
be
.
And
further
where
they
pretend
this
necessity
because
we
have
still
guiltie
consciences
,
therein
they
are
more
than
beasts
:
for
the
guiltinesse
of
our
consciences
is
not
for
this
,
that
there
needeth
any
sacrifice
to
be
offered
to
satisfie
and
purge
sinne
:
but
through
the
remnants
of
iniquity
which
remaine
in
us
because
of
the
weakenes
and
imperfection
of
our
faith
.
for
in
these
we
are
not
to
looke
to
any
satisfaction
yet
behind
,
but
to
take
hold
of
that
perfect
one
which
hath
already
satisfied
.
If
that
act
of
theirs
be
propitiatory
,
then
is
not
sinne
fully
discharged
by
the
other
.
Thus
blasphemous
they
are
not
onely
in
this
their
God
of
dough
,
but
also
in
all
other
their
satisfactions
for
sinne
,
and
in
their
doctrine
of
Purgatory
.
For
if
there
remaine
any
satisfaction
or
purgation
to
be
then
hee
should
have
suffered
often
since
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
This
sentence
is
very
mighty
against
the
Papists
,
because
it
driveth
them
from
all
their
shifts
,
and
leaveth
them
naked
and
destitute
:
but
the
force
of
it
will
not
appeare
unlesse
we
looke
upon
what
principles
it
is
grounded
,
to
prove
that
if
Christ
should
have
offred
himselfe
often
,
then
must
he
also
have
suffered
death
often
since
the
beginning
of
the
world
.
Among
the
which
this
offereth
it selfe
as
the
first
to
be
considered
,
that
all
the
holy
fathers
,
the
Patriarches
and
Prophets
,
from
the
beginning
could
have
no
entrance
unto
God
but
by
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
that
whereas
otherwise
they
had
the
dore
shut
against
them
,
by
this
they
were
restored
into
favour
and
received
.
For
it
cannot
be
denyed
,
but
that
by
nature
they
were
sinners
as
we
be
:
and
that
God
cannot
receive
sinners
.
Being
therefore
out
of
controversie
that
they
obteined
life
,
it
must
needes
follow
that
they
had
pardon
:
for
if
either
there
had
beene
no
sinne
,
or
no
pardon
to
be
graunted
,
what
necessity
could
there
be
of
a
sacrifice
?
The
second
principle
without
which
the
reason
of
the
Apostle
cannot
stand
is
this
,
that
there
can
bee
no
remission
but
onely
by
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
:
for
if
any
other
sacrifice
,
or
any
other
way
or
meane
might
obtaine
it
,
then
were
there
not
a
necessity
,
why
hee
should
often
suffer
.
For
although
there
were
a
necessity
of
remission
of
sinnes
,
unlesse
all
should
be
damned
,
yet
he
might
be
set
free
from
the
same
necessity
of
offring
himselfe
,
seeing
there
were
other
wayes
to
obtaine
it
,
but
the
holy
Ghost
standeth
upon
this
as
a
matter
not
to
be
doubted
of
,
that
neither
there
is
,
nor
never
hath
beene
any
thing
able
to
destroy
sinne
,
or
to
take
away
the
guiltinesse
of
it
by
makeing
satisfaction
,
but
onely
the
sacrifice
of
the
Sonne
of
God
.
For
howsoever
the
idolatrous
Infidels
do
ascribe
unto
many
things
the
power
of
purging
,
and
satisfying
for
sinne
:
yet
the
holy
word
of
God
,
and
those
which
beleeve
it
do
give
that
glory
onely
unto
Christ
,
and
euen
as
his
great
glory
,
wherein
he
hath
no
fellow
.
The
third
thing
without
which
,
an
exception
might
be
iustly
taken
against
the
foresaid
reason
is
this
,
that
there
could
be
no
oblation
of
Christ
,
but
he
must
suffer
death
:
for
when
he
sayeth
he
should
not
offer
him selfe
often
,
he
addeth
this
cause
,
that
then
he
should
have
suffred
often
.
It
were
and
easie
matter
,
if
the
offring
of
Christ
were
any
thing
available
without
suffring
death
,
to
say
there
were
no
necessity
wherefore
he
should
suffer
often
,
seing
he
might
be
offred
,
and
not
be
slaine
.
But
this
is
strengthened
by
that
which
goeth
before
in
the
same
Chapter
,
where
he
hath
shewed
that
the
testament
is
confirmed
when
men
are
dead
,
because
it
is
of
no
force
while
the
Testator
liveth
,
and
so
he
is
the
Mediator
of
the
New
Testament
,
but
yet
through
death
.
Wherefore
also
the
former
testament
,
in
which
there
were
but
the
shadowes
and
paterne
of
heavenly
things
,
was
ratified
by
death
,
as
it
is
proved
by
this
,
that
it
was
not
dedicated
without
bloud
.
For
when
Moses
had
read
the
law
unto
the
people
he
tooke
the
bloud
of
Calues
and
Goates
,
with
water
,
and
purple
Woll
and
Hyssop
,
he
sprinkled
both
the
booke
and
the
people
,
saying
,
this
is
the
bloud
of
the
Testament
which
God
hath
commanded
unto
you
,
Likewise
also
he
sprinkled
the
Tabernacle
and
all
the
ministring
vessels
with
bloud
,
and
almost
all
things
,
sayeth
he
,
by
the
law
are
purged
with
bloud
,
and
without
shedding
of
bloud
,
there
is
no
remission
.
Here
is
then
a
manifest
reason
wherefore
Christ
could
not
be
offred
often
,
but
he
must
then
also
dy
often
:
even
because
the
testament
is
of
no
force
without
the
death
of
the
testator
.
Here
is
further
shewed
wherefore
it
cannot
be
available
without
death
,
that
is
to
say
,
there
is
no
remission
of
sinnes
without
shedding
of
bloud
.
Christ
therefore
could
not
be
offred
often
,
unlesse
it
should
be
to
no
purpose
,
which
is
most
absurd
,
but
his
bloud
must
be
often
shed
.
Then
if
the
Papists
wil
uphold
and
maintaine
that
their
sacrifice
is
availeable
to
purge
away
sinne
,
and
that
it
is
a
sacrifice
propitiatory
for
the
quicke
and
the
dead
,
as
they
do
impudenly
affirme
:
Let
them
also
confesse
that
they
murther
againe
the
Sonne
of
God
,
and
so
shead
his
bloud
.
For
if
they
will
stand
to
this
,
that
theirs
is
an
unbloudy
sacrifice
,
and
though
they
offer
him
,
yet
they
do
not
slay
him
,
and
yet
withall
do
challenge
the
power
thereby
to
purge
sinne
:
let
them
know
that
they
goe
directly
against
the
spirit
of
God
which
saith
,
there
is
no
remission
without
shedding
of
bloud
.
In
this
therefore
they
are
after
an
horrible
manner
blasphemous
,
that
they
will
overthrow
the
reason
and
argument
of
the
holy
ghost
.
For
if
by
any
manes
there
might
be
a
sacrifice
to
take
away
sinne
without
the
shedding
of
bloud
,
then
might
Christ
have
beene
often
offered
and
have
dyed
but
once
.
If
the
fathers
had
the
fruit
and
benefit
of
that
one
oblation
,
as
namely
their
sinnes
washed
away
with
that
bloud
once
shed
,
and
that
without
any
offring
of
such
unbloudy
sacrifice
to
apply
the
same
:
why
should
not
wee
likewise
by
faith
obtaine
the
same
,
unlesse
some
shaveling
offer
him
dayly
?
Ye
blinde
Idolaters
,
did
the
bloud
of
Christ
purge
away
sinne
before
his
comming
,
onely
through
faith
,
and
shall
it
not
now
?
Was
there
a
more
perfect
power
in
it
to
abolish
sinne
,
in
the
fathers
which
were
longe
time
before
his
comming
,
than
there
is
after
it
hath
beene
shed
indeede
?
For
if
it
be
so
that
the
fathers
had
their
sinnes
washed
away
with
Christes
bloud
,
and
yet
no
offring
of
him
to
apply
the
same
,
but
apprehended
through
faith
,
shall
it
not
destroy
the
vertue
thereof
,
or
at
the
least
diminish
it
,
when
they
teach
that
wee
cannot
be
partakers
of
him
,
unlesse
he
bee
still
offered
?
Is
that
which
the
holy
Ghost
speaketh
,
that
he
hath
been
once
made
manifest
in
the
end
of
the
world
,
to
abolish
sinne
,
by
the
offring
himselfe
to
be
referred
onely
to
the
fathers
before
his
comming
?
Doth
not
the
reason
following
extend
it
unto
us
as
well
,
yea
even
unto
the
whole
Church
,
untill
his
comming
againe
at
the
worlds
ende
?
for
he
compareth
it
in
this
manner
:
that
as
it
is
appointed
unto
men
to
dye
once
,
and
after
commeth
judgement
:
so
Christ
also
being
once
offred
to
take
away
the
sinnes
of
many
,
unto
those
that
looke
for
him
shall
appeare
the
second
time
without
sinne
,
unto
salvation
.
It
is
the
ordinance
of
God
that
when
a
man
hath
runne
his
race
and
finished
his
course
,
he
shall
not
be
permitted
to
turne
backe
againe
to
doe
that
which
he
left
undone
,
or
to
make
straight
that
which
is
crooked
,
but
must
hold
him
unto
judgement
for
things
past
,
because
that
onely
remaineth
.
In
like
sort
he
setteth
the
perfection
of
the
one
oblation
of
Christ
,
who
being
once
offered
to
take
away
the
sinnes
of
many
,
it
is
so
perfectly
done
,
that
when
he
shall
appeare
againe
the
second
time
to
give
the
eternall
salvation
,
there
shal
be
no
sinne
to
be
purged
,
or
for
which
he
is
to
make
further
satisfaction
.
For
when
it
is
said
,
that
he
shall
appeare
without
sinne
the
second
time
,
it
is
not
meant
of
his
own
person
,
but
of
those
whom
he
hath
redeemed
from
their
sinnes
:
which
is
most
cleare
and
manifest
in
this
,
that
the
minde
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
is
to
shew
a
difference
betweene
his
first
and
second
appearance
,
even
in
that
point
.
Which
if
it
should
be
understood
of
his
owne
person
should
make
no
difference
,
because
he
was
without
sinne
at
his
first
appearing
,
although
he
tooke
upon
him
,
and
bare
in
his
body
the
sinnes
of
his
people
:
But
at
his
second
appearance
because
he
hath
utterly
destroyed
sinne
for
ever
,
there
shal
be
none
to
be
borne
of
him
,
and
therefore
none
for
which
he
shall
againe
offer
sacrifice
.
The
Papists
,
but
that
they
be
impudent
,
might
be
ashamed
to
patch
in
their
trumpery
,
to
give
power
unto
the
death
of
Christ
,
when
they
see
here
the
perfection
of
it
so
set
forth
,
that
it
hath
so
at
once
for
ever
destroyed
sinne
,
that
there
needeth
no
more
sacrifice
to
be
offred
.
For
will
they
make
the
power
of
it
lesse
since
his
comming
than
it
was
before
?
We
may
then
conclude
,
seeing
the
sacrifice
of
the
New
Testament
,
that
should
have
a
spirituall
,
heavenly
,
and
endlesse
power
could
not
be
offred
in
a
worldly
sanctuary
,
with
worldly
ordinances
:
the
sanctuary
and
all
the
ordinances
of
the
Popish
service
and
prieststood
are
such
,
as
are
earthly
,
and
perfectly
abolished
sinne
,
the
promise
of
the
New
Testament
is
that
God
will
no
more
remember
it
:
and
therefore
no
more
sacrifice
to
be
required
.
The
Papists
contrary
to
that
promise
make
satisfactions
still
and
sacrifices
for
sinne
.
Their
sacrifice
is
offred
often
.
Christ
could
be
offred
but
once
,
because
he
could
dye
but
once
.
The
sacrifice
is
not
available
without
death
because
there
is
no
remission
of
sinnes
without
shedding
of
bloud
.
The
Papists
do
not
say
they
slay
Christ
,
they
say
theirs
is
an
unblody
sacrifice
:
there
is
no
remission
of
sins
without
shedding
of
bloud
.
The
sacrifice
of
Poperie
is
not
the
sacrifice
of
the
New
Testament
,
neither
can
it
be
propitiatory
,
as
they
bragge
,
for
the
quick
and
the
dead
.
Many
do
suppose
that
they
may
hold
friendship
and
familiarity
with
them
,
and
esteeme
of
them
as
Christians
,
and
match
their
sons
with
their
daughters
,
although
they
beare
the
same
print
,
and
be
of
the
same
stampe
with
their
parents
:
onely
because
they
doe
professe
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
carry
a
zeale
unto
him
.
But
this
doth
bewray
a
most
horrible
blindnesse
,
and
grosse
darkenesse
in
them
,
which
cannot
see
,
that
to
confesse
the
name
of
Christ
is
not
any
thing
at
all
available
,
seeing
they
doe
under
that
pretence
rob
and
spoyle
him
of
his
glory
,
and
tread
downe
his
trueth
,
an
destroy
his
lawes
.
The
Apostle
sayeth
,
Rom.
10.
that
the
Iewes
had
the
zeale
of
God
,
but
yet
he
sayeth
,
it
was
not
according
to
knowledge
,
and
therefore
that
being
not
spirituall
,
but
a
carnall
zeale
,
could
nothing
at
all
cleere
them
,
but
that
they
were
still
those
which
as
utter
enemies
of
God
did
fight
against
him
.
In
like
sort
although
it
be
graunted
that
the
Papists
have
a
devotion
towards
Christ
,
yet
what
doth
it
helpe
them
,
seeing
it
is
a
carnal
and
blind
devotion
?
that
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
did
build
the
tombes
of
the
Prephets
and
garnish
the
sepulchres
of
the
righteous
▪
and
said
,
that
if
they
had
beene
in
the
dayes
of
their
fathers
they
would
not
have
beene
partakers
with
them
in
the
bloud
of
the
Prophets
:
but
yet
for
all
this
their
forwardnesse
and
good
will
to
honour
the
Prophets
and
to
disalowe
of
their
fathers
in
killing
them
hee
threateneth
them
,
that
all
the
righteous
bloud
shed
upon
the
earth
,
should
come
upon
them
,
and
why
?
because
he
would
se
and
Prophets
,
and
wise
men
and
Scribes
unto
them
:
and
of
them
they
should
kill
and
crucifie
:
and
of
them
they
should
scourge
in
their
synagogs
,
and
persecute
from
citie
to
citie
.
They
were
then
gullty
,
If
ever
there
were
helhoundes
that
could
not
be
satisfied
with
bloud
,
these
are
they
which
would
spare
neither
high
nor
low
,
Prince
nor
subject
,
a
cake
made
of
flower
.
Is
it
not
then
full
time
that
we
give
eare
to
the
voice
from
heauen
:
Come
out
of
her
my
people
,
that
ye
be
not
partakers
of
her
sinnes
,
and
that
ye
receive
not
of
her
plagues
?

that
if
any
man
worship
the
beast
,
and
his
image
▪
and
shall
receive
the
marke
in
his
forehead
,
or
in
his
hand
,
he
shall
also
drinke
of

of
the
wrath
of
God
,
even
of
the
undelayed
wine
,
which
is
powred
forth
into
the
cup

of
his
wrath

and
he
shal
be
tormented

fire

in

presence

holy
Angels

and
in

and

smoke
of

shall
ascend

without

:
and
they
shall
have
no
rest
day
nor
night
which
worship
the
beast
and
his
image
,
and
if
any
receive
the
print
of
his
name
.
Being
as
cleere
as
the
Sunne
at
noone
dayes
,
unto
all
those
which
have
eyes
to
see
,
that
Rome
is
that
Babylon
,
and
the
Pope
that
savage
and
cruell
beast
,
ought
it
not
to
drive
us
as
far
from
them
as
the
East
is
from
the
West
,
to
renounce
their
religion
,
and
false
idolatrous
,
worship
,
to
pack
up
all
their
trash
,
and
send
it
home
to
Rome
,
to
abolish
their
lawes
,
to
flye
their
fellowship
and
society
,
to
be
at
utter
enmity
with
them
in
this
respect
that
they
be
the
sworne
enemies
of
Christ
?
What
honour
is
there
left
unto
the
Son
of
God
,
when
such
vile
caitifes
shall
take
uppon
them
to
be
partakers
with
him
in
the
office
and
dignity
of
the
mediatorship
?
For
when
as
the
separation
and
enmity
betweene
God
and
men
was
such
,
that
there
could
be
no
agreement
nor
unity
,
because
God
is
most
perfctly
holy
and
pure
,
and
can
not
but
hate
that
which
is
foule
,
and
contrary
unto
his
nature
:
there
was
none
to
approch
unto
him
to
be
the
mediator
betweene
him
and
them
,
which
was
in
so
high
favour
as
that
they
might
be
accepted
through
him
,
nor
of
such
power
as
to
be
able
to
aunswere
,
and
discharge
whatsoever
they
could
be
charged
withall
:
but
such
an
one
as
was
also
most
holy
and
pure
.
While
the
Tabernacle
did
stande
and
the
most
holy
place
which
did
represent
heaven
,
the
high
Priest
was
the
mediator
:
for
when
the
people
were
shut
forth
,
he
went
in
before
the
Arke
to
offer
and
make
prayer
for
them
.
But
those
things
were
but
shadowes
,
and
his
consecration
was
carnall
.
He
was
a
poore
sinfull
man
,
not
able
to
purchase
favour
for
himselfe
.
He
was
a
Priest
agreeable
to
that
covenant
,
but
no
wretched
sinner
can
be
the
mediator
of
the
new
covenant
,
to
stande
betweene
God
and
the
people
,
that
he
may
obtaine
favour
and
remission
of
sinnes
for
them
,
but
he
which
is
unspotted
.
Alas
what
case
then
are
those
men
in
,
which
take
a
poore
Popish
Priest
,
which
is
an
uncleane
swine
in
lechery
,
to
be
their
Priest
to
stand
betweene
God
and
them
,
to
offer
for
them
,
that
by
him
they
may
have
their
sinnes
pardoned
?
Doth
not
David
say
,
the
wicked
cannot
stand
before
God
?
How
then
shall
any
of
them
stand
as
a
Priest
before
him
to
be
a
mediator
?
Doth
not
the
holy
Ghost
say
by
Salomon
,
that
the
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
an
abomination
to
the
Lord
?
can
that
which
the
Lord
doth
esteeme
as
a
thing
abominable
,
be
a
sacrifice
propitiatory
?
Can
that
which
God
doeth
curse
and
hate
,
clense
away
sinne
?
The
Lord
in
mercy
open
the
eyes
of
poore
simple
men
which
have
been
seduced
and
misled
,
that
they
may
see
what
a
deceipt
this
is
,
that
a
man
shal
be
made
to
seeke
life
in
that
which
is
one
of
the
greatest
sinnes
that
can
be
committed
,
as
namely
,
to
set
a
poore
rotten
worme
in
the
place
and
office
of
Christ
,
a
vile
filthy
sinner
is
to
come
before
God
with
a
sacrifice
.
Now
as
they
be
idolatrous
peiests
,
by
their
cake
which
they
worship
as
God
,
overthrowing
as
much
as
lyeth
in
their
power
,
the
sacrifice
of
Christ
,
and
fighting
under
the
banner
of
the
diuell
against
God
,
so
also
their
fruits
do
follow
accordingly
,
and
declare
what
manner
of
trees
they
be
.
Do
they
not
maintaine
lying
and
perjury
,
all
kinde
of
disembling
,
and
false
trecheries
to
obtaine
their
purposes
,
and
to
bring
their
mischievous
and
divelish
practises
to
effect
?
Are
they
not
bloudy
murtherers
and
traitors
against
their
lawfull
Soveraigne
Prince
?
Let
them
shew
where
ever
Peter
,
Paul
,
or
any
Apostle
of
Christ
hath
taught
the
like
,
or
put
it
in
practise
.
If
not
then
,
let
us
conclude
against
them
,
that
they
be
of
their
father
the
divel
,
who
is
the
author
of
all
falshood
,
and
a
murtherer
,
the
worker
of
all
treasons
against
Princes
.
And
let
all
men
which
have
any
care
to
save
their
soules
be
so
farre
from
liking
of
them
,
or
consenting
to
them
,
that
they
can
say
with
the
holy
Prophet
,
do
not
I
hate
them
that
hate
thee
,
O
Lord
,
am
I
not
irkesomely
greeved
with
those
that
rise
up
against
thee
?
I
hate
them
with
a
perfect
hatred
,
I
take
them
as
enemies
to
my selfe
.
This
zeale
ought
to
be
for
the
glory
of
Christ
in
all
true
Christians
,
this
loue
setled
in
the
hearts
of
al
faithful
subjects
towards
their
Prince
.
There
is
no
testimony
of
any
goodnes
in
men
without
this
:
for
those
men
which
can
retaine
so
willingly
even
in
their
bosoms
these
vipers
,
as
some
doe
their
wives
,
their
sonnes
,
their
daughters
;
their
servants
,
and
their
friends
:
although
they
make
some
shew
,
as
though
they
did
somewhat
mislike
,
yet
they
be
very
Atheists
,
voide
of
all
true
knowledge
,
and
feare
of
God
.
