Surety » Jesus Christ being surety

wherefore the preceeding law is abolished for its being weak and useless. for the law made no man perfect, but this was effected by introducing a better hope, which brings us nearer to the divine presence. Besides those priests were establish'd without any oath: but this with an oath, by him that said to him, "the Lord has swore, and will not repent, thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." so that Jesus was made guarantee of an alliance so much the more excellent, as it was not without the solemnity of an oath.
