not_o to_o be_v do_v again_o which_o have_v be_v very_o improper_a if_o by_o the_o oblation_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v mean_v the_o continual_a appearance_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n for_o we_o

sacrifice_n which_o we_o have_v already_o at_o large_a prove_v he_o can_v not_o do_v in_o our_o adversary_n sense_n 3_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n to_o which_o the_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v consequent_a so_o that_o the_o oblation_n antecedent_n to_o it_o must_v be_v proper_o that_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o he_o offer_v

the_o repeat_v exercise_n of_o christ_n power_n in_o heaven_n do_v imply_v no_o necessity_n at_o all_o of_o christ_n frequent_a suffering_n nor_o his_o frequent_a entrance_n into_o heaven_n which_o

and_o therefore_o he_o must_v speak_v not_o of_o a_o offering_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n but_o what_o be_v perform_v here_o on_o earth_n but_o here_o our_o adversary_n have_v show_v we_o a_o

to_o the_o whole_a scope_n and_o design_n of_o the_o place_n for_o he_o speak_v of_o that_o world_n wherein_o sacrifice_n and_o burnt-offering_n be_v use_v and_o the_o levitical_a law_n be_v observe_v
