without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n the_o proposition_n be_v terrible_a but_o the_o reddition_n be_v comfortable_a the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chapter_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n exceed_v in_o worth_n and_o merit_n all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o one_o argument_n be_v this_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o perfect_a that_o it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v repeat_v but_o whereas_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n be_v offer_v by_o the_o highpriest_n yearly_a our_o lord_n jesus_n by_o one_o single_a

once_o for_o man_n for_o his_o death_n be_v equivalent_a to_o many_o death_n and_o as_o man_n after_o death_n must_v appear_v to_o be_v judge_v so_o jesus_n christ_n after_o his_o death_n shall_v appear_v to_o judge_v man_n he_o shall_v die_v no_o more_o but_o whenever_o he_o appear_v again_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o to_o save_v his_o elect._n this_o prove_v the_o

and_o not_o a_o judge_n now_o as_o the_o word_n show_v we_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o christ_n mediation_n so_o in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o suitableness_n thereof_o to_o those_o estate_n
