5. "There are two Priesthoods spoken of in the Scriptures, viz., the
Melchisedek and the Aaronic or Levitical. Although there are two
Priesthoods, yet the Melchisedec Priesthood comprehends the Aaronic
or Levitical Priesthood, and is the grand head, and holds the highest
authority which pertains to the Priesthood, and the keys of the Kingdom
of God in all ages of the world to the latest posterity on the earth,
and is the channel through which all knowledge, doctrine, the plan
of salvation, and every important matter is revealed from heaven."
(History of the Church, Vol. IV, pp. 207, _et. seq_.)

"Therefore, in viewing the Church as a whole, we may strictly
denominate it one Priesthood." (History of the Church, Vol. II, p. 478.)

6. The distinction in the terms "temporal" and "spiritual" are used
in connection with this subject that man may understand; that is,
God adapts himself to man's terms, but with God there is no such
distinction as temporal and spiritual, but all things are spiritual.
(See Doc. & Cov., Sec. 29:31-35.)

7. Job xi: 7.
