Chapter 1 Howe that the ceremonies and sacrifices of the lawe are abolisshed 11 by the eternitie and perfection of Christes sacrifice 1 THe first couenaunt then had verylye iustifiyng ordinaunces seruinges of God and worldlye holynesse 2 ☞ For there was a fore tabernacle made wherein was the lyght and the table and the shewe bread whiche is called holy 3 But after the seconde vayle was a tabernacle which is called holyest of al 4 Which had the golden senser and the arke of the couenaunt ouerlaide rounde about with golde wherin was the golden pot hauyng Manna and Aarons rodde that had budded and the tables of the couenaunt 5 And ouer it the Cherubins of glorie shadowyng the mercie seate Of which thynges we can not nowe speake particulerlie 6 When these thynges were thus ordeyned the priestes went alwayes into the first tabernacle accomplishyng the seruice of God 7 But into y e seconde went the hye priest alone once euery yere not without blood which he offered for hym selfe for the ignorauncies of the people 8 The holy ghost this signifiyng that the waye of holy thinges was not yet opened whyle as yet the first tabernacle was standyng 9 Whiche was a similitude for the tyme then presēt in which were offred giftes and sacrifices that coulde not make the worshipper perfect as parteining to the conscience 10 With only meates and drynkes and diuers wasshynges and iustifiynges of the flesshe which were layde vp vntyll the tyme of reformation 11 ☞ But Christe beyng come an hye priest of good thynges that shoulde be by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with handes that is to say not of this buyldyng 12 Neither by the blood of Goates and Calues but by his owne blood he entred in once into the holy place founde eternall redemption ☜ 13 For if the blood of Oxen of Goates and the asshes of a young Cowe sprinklyng the vncleane sanctifieth to the purifiyng of the flesshe 14 Howe much more the blood of Christe which through the eternall spirite offered hym selfe without spot to God shall purge your conscience frō dead workes to serue the lyuyng God 15 And for this cause is he the mediatour of the newe couenaunt that through death which was for the redemption of the transgressions that were vnder the first couenaunt they whiche are called myght receaue the promise of eternall inheritaunce ☜ 16 For where as is a testament there must also of necessitie be the death of him that maketh it 17 For a
testament is confirmed when men are dead for it is yet of no value as long as he that maketh the testameÌ„t is alyue 18 For which cause also neither the firste testamentâ— was dedicated without blood 19 For when Moyses had spoken euery precept to all the people according to the lawe takyng the blood of Calues and of Goates with water purple wooll and ysope he sprynkled both the booke it selfe and all the people 20 Saying This is the blood of the testament whiche God hath enioyned vnto you 21 And lykewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministerie 22 And almost all thynges are by y e lawe pourged with blood and without sheddyng of blood is no remission 23 It is neede then that the paterne of heauenly thynges be purified with such thynges but the heauenly thynges theÌ„ selues be purified with better sacrifices then are those 24 For Christe is not entred into the holy places made with handes which are paternes of true thynges but into heauen it selfe nowe to appeare in the syght of God for vs. 25 Not that he shoulde offer him selfe often as the hye priest entreth into the holy places euery yere in strauÌ„ge blood 26 For then must he haue often suffred sence the foundation of the worlde But nowe once in the ende of the world hath he appeared to put away sinne by the sacrifice of hym selfe 27 And as it is appoynted vnto men once to dye and after this the iudgement 28 Euen so Christe once offered to take away the sinnes of many the seconde time shal be seene without sinne of them which wayte for hym vnto saluation ¶ The .x.
