On
the
Excellency
of Chrif,
fered
to
the
Father,
we come
to enter
into
the Holieft
of
all,
and
that
with
boldneffe.
It
was not
fo
in the
time
of the Law
;
no, but after the
High
Prieft had
offered Sacrifice,
hee
alone
goes
into
the
Holy
of
Holies
but
now mark, here
Mt
only Chrift our
High
Prieft, but we,
may come
with
boldneffe, which
none
of
the
people
could
doe
in the Law,
that
is
thus,
there is
fuch an
efficacy in
the
Sacrifice
of
our
High
Prieft,
as
that
'every
beleever may come,
though bee
hath never
fo
many
fins
of
his
own; he may come with boldneffe
into
the
Holy
of
Holies,
into
the
molt immediate pretence ofGod the
Fa-
ther,
through the facrifice
of
t[;is
our
Prieft, that hath
made
fuch
a
way by
his
Blond for us,
to
come
and
enter
into
the
Holy
of
Hólies
;
the People in the
time of the Law were to
Rand
at
a
diftance,
for
this Sacrifice was
not
ativally
offe-
red
;
but
fine
Chrifts
coming,
and
his
a6tual offering up
his
Sacrifice, now
the
Saints
ofGod
may come with
boldneffe
into the holy, immediate, and
glorious
pretence
of God
that can
bee;
let
God
appear never
fo
glorioufly,
yet the
Saints have
liberty and boldneffe to
come
into
the
molt
glo-
rious
pretence
of
God
;
and therefore
Chrift
is wonderful
in
this
Prieftly
Office
of
his.
Two
or
three things more
fhould
have
been fpoken.
That Chrift
hath
made
us
Priers
unto God,
wee have the
glory
of
his
Prier
-hood upon
our
felves,
if
wee
belong
unto
him
;
Priefts, that
wee
may
offer
up Sacrifice to
God now
acceptable
were
it
not
through
the
vertue
of
this
Prieftly
Office of
Chrift, wecould
not
doe
it
:
But
it
is
by
the Prieft-
ly
Office
of
Chrift
that all Beleevers
are
now
made
Priefts
unto God,
fo as
they may offer Sacrifice
to
God
acceptable
;
it
may be thou
yoeft
to
God
in
Prayer, and
offereft up
a
Sa-
crifice
co
God, and thinkeft God
willbe
well pleated with
it,
I
pray
now upon
what
terms doll
thou offer
them up
?
Thy Prayers fhould
bee Sacrifices,
but in
the
time of the
Lave none
muff
offer
a
Sacrifice
but
a
Prieft
;
Haft thou
Ara
intereft
in
the
Prieftly
Office
of Chrift,
and doeft thou goc
unto )efus Chrift
by
faith, and
give
up thy Sacrifice
into
his
N
hands,
