[616]. Archbishop Whately, speaking of the word ἱερεὺς and its meaning, says; “This is an office assigned to none under the gospel-scheme, except the ONE great High Priest, of whom the Jewish Priests were types.”[[c]] Of the “gospel-scheme,” this is quite true; of the Church-of-England scheme, it is not. There lies before me Duport’s Greek version of the Prayer-Book and Offices of the Anglican Church: and turning to the Communion Service, I find the officiating clergyman called ἱερεὺς throughout. The absence of this word from the records of the primitive Gospel, and its presence in the Prayer-Book, is perfectly expressive of the difference in the spirit of the two systems;—the difference between the Church with, and the “Christianity without Priest.”
