VERSE 9.

THen: when those sacrifices would not serve the turne.

Iesus Christ.

Which those sacrifices cannot doe.

Whereupon the Apostle concludeth, that the first being taken away, the latter is established. The legall sacrifices being removed, CHRIST's sacrifice alone remaineth, as forcible to the putting a∣way of sinne.

Here we see it is not enough to read and alleadge Scriptures, but wee must deduce arguments out of them, for the confutation of errors, and the establishing of the truth. The Apostle here by this testimony out of the Psalme overthrowes the doting opinion of the Iewes, which sought justification in circumcision and in the sacrifices of the Law. And by the same hee confirmes this truth, that wee are saved by the onely oblation of our Saviour Christ. The like must bee practised by us: wee must not sleightly read the Scriptures, but make an holy and profitable use of them. An ar∣gument derived out of the Scripture, is of more weight then all the authorities of men.
