[verse 1] Forsothe a [this T.] capitle vpon [is maad vpon T. on VX.] tho thingis that ben seid. We han such a bischop, that saat to gidere in [on SX.] the riȝthalf of the [verse 2] seete of greetnesse in heuenes, mynistre [the mynystre V.] of seyntis and of the verri tabernacle, that God sette [settide V.] , and not man. [verse 3] Forsothe [Forwhi V.] ech bischop is ordeyned for [Om. SX.] to offre ȝiftis and oostis [sacrificis V.] ; wherfore it [and it S.] is nede, and [that also V. Om. X.] this man [man Crist T. bischop V. Om. X.] `for to [Om. V. to X.] haue sum thing that he schal [schulde T.] offre. [verse 4] Therfore if he [it T.] were vpon [on VX.] erthe, he were no [not TY.] prest, whanne ther weren that schulden offre ȝiftis vp [after GMPT. bi V.] the [verse 5] lawe, the [Om. V.] whiche seruen to the saum|pler [saumpler, or figure T.] and schadewe of heuenly thingis. As it is [was V.] answerid to Moyses, whanne he schulde ende [make T.] the tabernacle, Se [See thou G sec. m.] , he [the Lord T.]

seith [seide V.] , make thou alle thingis vp [aftur T. bi V.] the saumpler, that is schewid to thee in the mount. [verse 6] Now forsoth he hath getyn a betre mynysterie, by how moche and he is [is maad S.] a mediatour of a [Om. NT.] betere testament, the [Om. V.] which is halewid [confeermed V.] , `or confermyd [Om. OVX.] , with betere biheestis. [verse 7] For if `the ilke [that X.] firste hadde be voydid [voyde AGMNOPSTVXY.] fro blame [blaam, perfitly clensynge men T.] , sothli a place [place, or opportunite T.] of the secunde schulde not be souȝt. [verse 8] Forsoth [For he V.] reprouynge hem he [Om. V.] seith, Loo! dayes comen, seith the Lord, and I schal ende [make perfit V.] a newe testament vpon [on VX.] the hous of Ysrael, and vpon [on SVX.] the house of [verse 9] Juda; not vp [after GMPT. vpon O. bi V.] the testament that I made to her fadris, in [Om.

[verse 10] For [Forwhi V.] this is the testament, `the which [whiche SV. that X.] I schal dispose to the hous of Israel aftir [and after QSY.] tho [the T.] dayes, seith the Lord, in ȝyuynge my lawis into the soulis of hem, and into the hertis `of hem [Om. T.] I [and K.] schal aboue wryte hem; and I schal be to hem into God, and thei schulen be to me into a peple. [verse 11] And ech man schal not teche his neiȝbore, and ech man his brother, seyinge, Knowe thou the Lord; for alle men schulen wite [knowe OV.] , `or knowe [Om. OVX.] , me, fro the lesse [leeste O.] `til to [vnto MPT.] the more of hem. [verse 12] For I schal be helpful [merciful O.] , `or mer|cyful [Om. OX.] , to the wickidnesse [wickidnessis S.] of hem, and now I schal not bithenke [thenken S.] on [of MT.] the synnes of hem. [verse 13] Forsoth in seyinge newe, the formere wexiden [wex S. wexide V. wexen X. wexe Y.] olde; forsoth that that is of many dayes, and wexith [wexide GMPT.] olde, is nyȝ the [Om. X.] deeth.
