CHAP. IX.

1 How that the Ceremonies and sacrifices of the Lawe are abolished. 11 By the eternitie and perfection of Christs sacrifice.

1 THen the first“ 1.1 (Testament) had also“ 1.2 or∣dinances of religion, and aa 1.3 worldlie San ctuarie.

2 For the first * Tabernacle was made, wher in was the candlesticke, & the table, and the shew bread, which (Tabernacle) is called the Holie places.

3 And after theb 1.4 seconde vaile (was) the Taber nacle, which is called the Holiest of all,

4 Which had the golden senser, and the Arke of the Testament ouerlaide rounde about with gold, wherein the golden pot which* 1.5 had manna (was,) and* Aarons redde that* 1.6 had bud ded, & the *tables of the Testament.* 1.7

5 *And ouer the Arke were the glorious Che* 1.8 rubims, shadowing“ 1.9 the“ 1.10 mercie seat: of* 1.11 which things we wil not now speake parti∣cularly.* 1.12

6 Now when these things were thus ordeined the Priests went alwayes into the first Taber∣nacle, and accomplished the seruice.

7 But into the second went the * hie Priest alone, once euerie yere, not without blood which he offered for him self, and for the“ 1.13 ignorances of the people.

8 Whereby the holie Gost this signified, that thec 1.14 way into the Holiest of all was, not yet opened, while as yet the first Tabernacle was standing,

9 Which was a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 for the time present, wherein were offred giftes and sacrifices that colde not make“ 1.15 holie concerning the con∣science,d 1.16 him that did the seruice,

10 Which onely stode in meats and drinkes, and diuers washings, ande 1.17 carnal rites, vntil the time off 1.18 reformation.

11 But Christ being come an hie Priest of good things to come, by a greater and a more per∣fiteg 1.19 Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this buylding,

12 Nether by the blood of goates and calues:* 1.20 but by his owne blood entred he in once vn* 1.21 to theh 1.22 holie place,i 1.23 and obteined eternal* 1.24 redemption (for vs.)* 1.25

13 * For if thek 1.26 blood of bulles and of goates* 1.27 and the ashes of an heifer, sprinkling them that are vncleane, sanctifieth as touching the* 1.28 purifying of thel 1.29 flesh,

14 How muche more shal the blood of Christ which through the eternal Spirit offred him* 1.30 self without spot to God, purge your con∣science* 1.31 fromm 1.32 dead workes, to * serue the liuing God?

15 And for this cause is he the Mediatour of the new Testament, that through * death which was for the redemption of the trans∣gressions (that were) in then 1.33 former Testa∣ment, they which were called, might recei∣ue the promes of eternal enheritance.

16 Forwhere a testament (is) there must be the death of him that made the testament.

17 * For theo 1.34 testamēt is confirmed when men are dead: for it is yet of no force as long as he that made it, is a liue.

18 Wherefore nether was the first ordeined withoutp 1.35 blood.

19 For when Moses had spoken euerie pre∣cept to the people, according to the Law, he toke the blood of calues and of goates, with water and purple wolle and hyssope, and sprinkled bothe the boke, and all the people,

20 *Saying, This is the blood of the Testament which God hathe appointed vnto you.

21 Moreouer, he sprinkled likewise the Ta∣bernacle with blood also, and all the mini∣string vessels.

22 And almost al things are by the Law purged with blood, and without sheading of blood is no remission.

23 It was then necessarie, that the similitudes of heauēlie things shulde be purified with such things: but the heauenlie things them selues (are purified) with betterq 1.36 sacrifices then are these.

24 For Christ is not entred into the holie places that are made with hands, which are“ 1.37 similitu des of the true (Sanctuarie:) but (is entred) in to very heauen, to appeare now in the sight of God for vs,

25 Not that he shulde offer him selfr 1.38 often as the hie Priest entred into the Holie place eue rie 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with other blood,

26 [For them must he haue often suffred since the fundacion of the worlde] but now in thes 1.39 end of the worlde hathe he appeared once to put away sinne, by the sacrifice of him self.

27 And as it is appointed vnto men that they shal once dye, and after that (commeth) the

iudgement,* 1.40

28 So* 1.41 Christ was once offred to take away the sinnes oft 1.42 many, and vnto them that loke for him, shal he appeare the seconde timeu 1.43 without sinne vnto saluation.
