himself as a Sacrifice, Heb. 9.14
the Office of a Prieft, by offering

906, a, 14.

Some Particulars whereby the
Priesthood of Christ, and of Aarch,

re diftinguifhed. The Priesthood of
Aaron was appointed without an
Dath, that of Chrift by an Oath,
Heb. 7. 20, 21. The Priefts under
he Law offered for themselves, as
well as the People, but Chrift offered
only for the People, 911, a, 22. The
Priesthood of Chrift was after the Or-
der of Melchizedec, to which was
oined the Regal Power, that of Aa.
-on was of another Family, of the
Tribe of Levi. The Priesthood of
Aaron defcended from Father to
on; but Chrift, like Melchize-
lec, had no Succeffor in his Pricft-
ood, but remained a Prieft for ever,
feb. 7, 23, 24. In Chrift, the
rieft and Sacrifice were the fame;
Aaron, they were not the fame,
Heb.9. 12. Heb. 10. 5, &c.
The Priesthood of Chrift is an en-
ouragement to us to hope for
Mercy, if we truly repent, Joh.
.1, 2. And to apply in his Name
or the Supply of all our Wants,
leb. 10.21, 22.
