Chapter 12

XII.

In this call the Scripture hold forth two special things considerable; first, the call to the office; secondly the office its self. First, that(1) none takes this honor but he that is called of God, as was Aaron, so also Christ, it being an action especially of God the Father, whereby a special covenant being made, He ordains His Son to this office: which Covenant is, that(2) Christ should be made a sacrifice for sin, that He shall see His seed, and prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand; which calling therefore contains in it self(3) choosing,(4) for-ordaining,(5) sending. choosing respects the end, foreordaining the means, sending the execution it self,(6) all of mere grace, without any condition fore-seen wither in men, on in Christ Himself.
