Matthew Poole and continuators on Hebrews 7:14

14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah , of which Tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood .

The proof of this change of the Tribe, and of what Tribe he was, was undeniably evident to these Hebrews from their own Genealogies, and the Roman Cense and Enrolement of him. The Providence of God ordering this, that it might be universally known that he was David's Seed, as well as Abraham's, and as called by his Name, Ezek. 34.23, 24. and 37.24, 25. Our Lord was God-Man, Lord Mediator, Psalm 110.1, 4. Matth. 22.42, 46. He was, as to his Humanity, born of the Tribe of Iudah, as his Genealogy by his Mother doth evince, Luke 3.33. and the concomitant evidence of the Roman Rols in which his Name was registered and kept in their Archives above an Age after his Ascension.

No Man of which Tribe was so designed by God, or so revealed to have the Royal Priesthood, but himself. None of them having any Right to it, as they could prove out of Moses's Writing; and the Rule of Priesthood is to be found there, and no where else: So that a negative Argument taken from Scripture in matters of Religion is valid, tho never so much puft at in this Age.
