For euerye hye prieste is ordeined to offer giftes and sacrifices: wherfore it is of necessitie, that this man haue somewhat also to offer. For he were not a priest, if he were on the earth where are priestes that according to the lawe offer giftes which serue vnto thensaumple, & shadow of heauenly thynges: euen as the answer of God was geuen vnto Moses, when he was a∣bout to finishe the tabernacle. Take hede (said he) that thou made al thynges accordyng to the patron whiche is shewed to thee in the mount.
OF the thynges whiche we haue so largelye entreated of before, the chiefe poynte and effecte is, that hereafter we haue not in admiracion Moses hye prieste, synce wee haue one soe excellente in all poyntes that he sytteth on the ryght syde of the royall seate of god in heauen, to the entente he maye duely make, not those figuratiue sacrifices prescribed by Moses, but the trewe and heauenly sacrifices, and bee within the tabernacle,
