Lastly, they haue this sentence out of the 9. chap. It is necessarie that the a 1.1 * 1.2 simili∣tudes of heauenly things, should be purified with such things: but the heauenly things themselues (are purified) with better * 1.3 sacri∣fices then these. Ergo, with oblations of Masses: because he speaketh in the plurall number, hostes. Therfore he speaketh not of the bloudie sacrifice of Christ, which was but one. But I answer that the Apo∣stle
there still keepeth his plurall number,* 1.4 taking one number for another, because he continueth in the comparison of the legall sacrifices. And of these chaunges, we haue many examples, as Ruth. 1. v. 10. and chapter. 2. v. 20. And that the Apostle there speaketh of that one sacrifice of Christ, may appeare by the scope of that whole chap. for that nothing else is there intended, but to compare the Priesthood of Christ, with the Leuiticall Priesthood, and to shew how far that excelleth this.
