they_o we_o have_v a_o great_a high_a priest_n who_o have_v enter_v into_o heaven_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n let_v we_o hold_v this_o profession_n the_o force_n of_o this_o exhortation_n be_v in_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n secret_o compare_v with_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n who_o be_v in_o nature_n their_o brother_n in_o person_n weak_a as_o other_o man_n in_o office_n earthly_a enter_v into_o a_o tabernacle_n make_v with_o hang_v in_o virtue_n a_o figure_n of_o a_o better_a sacrificer_n himself_o not_o profit_v at_o all_o but_o christ_n be_v another_o high_a priest_n in_o nature_n the_o son_n of_o god_o in_o quality_n great_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n in_o office_n heavenly_a enter_v before_o god_n to_o be_v our_o mediator_n in_o virtue_n holy_a and_o perfect_a himself_o to_o purge_v our_o sin_n this_o the_o apostle_n note_v call_v he_o high_a priest_n great_a enter_v into_o heaven_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o we_o be_v guilty_a before_o he_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o hold_v fast_o and_o profess_v all_o his_o instruction_n and_o doctrine_n now_o lest_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o apostle_n exhortation_n be_v weak_a and_o that_o he_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v which_o be_v in_o controversy_n for_o he_o call_v our_o saviour_n christ_n high_a priest_n which_o yet_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v not_o prove_v we_o must_v consider_v what_o have_v be_v speak_v before_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v see_v good_a argument_n in_o this_o exhortation_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o cause_n he_o have_v teach_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n make_v man_n reveal_v unto_o we_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o father_n purchase_v a_o most_o glorious_a inheritance_n for_o we_o and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o

third_o chapter_n consider_v holy_a brethren_n the_o apostle_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o our_o profession_n not_o yet_o have_v particular_o speak_v of_o those_o office_n but_o call_v he_o by_o those_o name_n because_o according_a to_o the_o description_n of_o his_o person_n before_o make_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v both_o our_o priest_n and_o prophet_n another_o argument_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v that_o he_o be_v here_o in_o earth_n afflict_v as_o we_o be_v submit_v himself_o to_o death_n from_o which_o he_o be_v rise_v and_o now_o ascend_v into_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n not_o only_o by_o the_o heaven_n which_o declare_v his_o glory_n nor_o by_o the_o firmament_n which_o show_v his_o work_n nor_o by_o any_o of_o god_n creature_n in_o

be_v the_o word_n of_o life_n the_o second_o note_n of_o they_o be_v a'n_z they_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n the_o heavenly_a gift_n be_v the_o life_n and_o great_a salvation_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n by_o who_o we_o be_v reconcile_v which_o likewise_o our_o saviour_n christ_n call_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n speak_v 4._o to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n and_o this_o be_v that_o knowledge_n into_o which_o they_o be_v lighten_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o this_o they_o do_v not_o only_o know_v but_o of_o this_o gift_n they_o have_v also_o taste_v which_o be_v they_o

glory_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n they_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o they_o be_v bless_v with_o heavenly_a blessing_n the_o four_o note_n be_v that_o they_o have_v taste_v the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n not_o much_o differ_v from_o that_o he_o first_o speak_v of_o that_o they_o be_v lighten_v that_o be_v that_o they_o have_v knowledge_n of_o god_n not_o only_o by_o

have_v taste_v it_o good_a and_o joyful_a and_o have_v see_v the_o glory_n of_o it_o as_o the_o great_a treasure_n that_o be_v give_v unto_o man._n the_o five_o and_o last_o note_n here_o set_v forth_o be_v that_o they_o know_v and_o confess_v that_o this_o gospel_n have_v the_o end_n eternal_a life_n and_o christ_n be_v a_o mighty_a saviour_n who_o will_v keep_v for_o ever_o those_o who_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o he_o name_v the_o world_n to_o come_v because_o the_o spirit_n have_v lighten_v they_o to_o see_v the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o corruptible_a world_n and_o to_o know_v assure_o that_o here_o they_o have_v no_o dwell_v city_n but_o another_o habitation_n be_v make_v for_o god_n choose_v not_o with_o mortal_a hand_n but_o everlasting_a in_o heaven_n and_o call_v it_o the_o power_n because_o it_o be_v make_v so_o strong_a in_o christ_n jesus_n that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v assault_v for_o all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o he_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o he_o have_v make_v that_o heavenly_a city_n glorious_a for_o his_o saint_n throughout_o all_o world_n thus_o have_v the_o apostle_n describe_v those_o person_n who_o he_o bid_v beware_v that_o these_o fall_v not_o back_o to_o change_v so_o great_a glory_n into_o endless_a shame_n for_o if_o they_o will_v turn_v these_o thing_n upside_o down_o and_o the_o grace_n that_o they_o have_v receive_v to_o god_n glory_n abuse_v they_o to_o the_o reproach_n of_o his_o holy_a name_n it_o be_v unpossible_a they_o shall_v rise_v again_o by_o repentance_n and_o thus_o far_o of_o the_o person_n what_o gift_n they_o have_v receive_v wherein_o yet_o let_v we_o understand_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o these_o man_n which_o fall_v away_o and_o the_o gift_n which_o be_v in_o god_n elect_v that_o can_v perish_v nor_o ever_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n first_o in_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n that_o they_o have_v receive_v there_o be_v great_a difference_n or_o rather_o no_o comparison_n then_o their_o obedience_n according_a to_o this_o grace_n be_v nothing_o like_o the_o wicked_a be_v but_o lighten_v with_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o elect_v be_v more_o instruct_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n the_o wicked_a have_v but_o taste_v of_o the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o elect_n live_v not_o themselves_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o they_o the_o

they_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o die_v unto_o sin_n to_o live_v unto_o righteousness_n so_o that_o sin_n shall_v not_o reign_v in_o the_o mortal_a body_n the_o wicked_a have_v but_o taste_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o save_a health_n the_o elect_v be_v feed_v with_o his_o mercy_n and_o still_o they_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o his_o righteousness_n
