redemption_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o only_a priest_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchizadech_n that_o with_o once_o offer_v of_o

if_o they_o will_v continue_v to_o ask_v of_o we_o where_o our_o succession_n be_v we_o answer_v that_o wheresoever_o since_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n there_o have_v be_v any_o person_n upon_o the_o
