three_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n do_v yearly_a repeat_v their_o sacrifice_n be_v this_o because_o those_o sacrifice_n yearly_a offer_v can_v never_o take_v away_o sin_n heb._n 10.11_o but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n once_o offer_v have_v sanctify_v the_o comer_n thereunto_o for_o we_o be_v sanctify_v even_o by_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o body_n of_o
