that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o perfect_a and_o be_v unable_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n because_o they_o be_v still_o repeat_v and_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o which_o reason_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v often_o and_o continual_o offer_v than_o his_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n be_v imperfect_a

25._o hebr._n 9_o 25._o offer_v in_o the_o mass_n than_o he_o do_v often_o suffer_v and_o die_v for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v offer_v himself_o often_o as_o the_o high_a
