Excerpt from Two Discourses on Occasion of the Death of the Late Rev. Alexander Turnbull, Minister of the Associate Burgher Congregation, Campbell-Street, Glasgow
In the verse to which I intend, at this time, to direct your attention, the Apostle institutes a comparison be tween Melchisedecand the priests of the order of Aaron - showing that the former is greatly superior to the latter: And here men die that receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. In the case of the sons of Aaron, according to the law of Moses, they who received tithes were mere sinful dying men, whose office descended to others, and at last became extinct: but, in the case of Melchisedec, he who received tithes of Abraham - the great ancestor of the priests of the house of Levi - is represented as living, having none to succeed him in his office; by which it is intimated that a Priest should arise, to whom the whole Israel of God would pay their devoted homage, and from whom they would receive the blessing.
