In every instance, so far as I have observed, our Lord adopted the institutions of the Jewish Church, unless they were inapplicable to His new dispensation. “To the end we may understand apostolical tradition to have been taken from the Old Testament; that which Aaron, and his sons, and the Levites were in the Temple, Bishops, Presbyters, and Deacons in the Church may lawfully challenge to themselves.”—_St. Hierom_, _Ep._ 85.
{ 12a} The liturgy of the Jewish Church, in which our Lord and His Apostles joined may be found in _Prideaux’s Connection of the Old and New Testament_.
