fulfilled whiche saith he was counted among the wicked And they that wente by rayled on hym wagging theyr heades and saying A wretche thou that destroyest the temple and buldest it againe in three

be the deathe of hym that maketh the testament For the testament taketh autoritie when men are dead for it is yet of no value as long as he that maketh the testament is alyue for whiche cause also neither the fyrst testament was ordeyned withoute bloud For when Moses had declared all the commaundement to all the people accordying to the lawe he tooke the bloude of calues and of Goates with water and purple wolle and ysope and sprinkled both the booke and all the people saying this is the bloude of the testament whiche God hath appoynted vnto you Moreouer he sprinkled the tabernacle with bloud also and all the ministryng vessels And almost al thinges are by the law purged with bloud and without shedding of bloude is no remission It is nede then that the similitudes of heauenlye thinges be purifyed with suche thynges but that the heauenlye thinges themselues be purifyed with better sacrifices thē are those For Christe is not entred into the holye places that are made with handes whiche are similitudes of true thynges but is entred into very heauen for to appeare now in the sight of God for vs not to offer himselfe often as the hye Priest entreth into the holy place euery yere with strange bloud for then must he haue often suffred sence the worlde began But now in the ende of the world hath he appeared once to put synne to flyght by the offeryng vp of hymselfe
