V. 15.— And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest. It is still more evident that another priest was to arise after the similitude of Melchisedec. This was plainly declared in the 110th Psalm. In chap. 5:6 the Apostle describes the Lord Jesus as a Priest after the order of Melchisedec, here He is said to be after the similitude of Melchisedec. The resemblance holds in a variety of particulars. He united in Himself the kingly and priestly offices; He did not succeed to them by birth, nor had He any successor. There are also other particulars of resemblance to which the Apostle adverts.
