do_v not_o impute_v our_o sin_n hence_o it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v respect_n unto_o christ_n our_o earnest_a intercessor_n but_o the_o two_o title_n wherewith_o he_o afterward_o adorn_v christ_n

because_o no_o man_n be_v pure_a and_o void_a of_o sin_n no_o man_n therefore_o be_v a_o fit_a high_a priest_n but_o he_o that_o be_v innocent_a and_o separate_a from_o sinner_n as_o also_o be_v

this_o office_n be_v ascribe_v indifferent_o to_o the_o saint_n now_o there_o be_v almost_o thirty_o year_n since_o this_o excellent_a principle_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v almost_o bury_v that_o

priesthood_n appertain_v unto_o none_o but_o unto_o christ_n alone_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o take_v not_o away_o the_o mutual_a intercession_n of_o saint_n whereby_o among_o themselves_o they_o
