10.14_o 9.26_o heb._n 10.14_o heb._n 10.1_o heb._n 9.26_o for_o with_o one_o oblation_n have_v he_o consecrate_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o where_o he_o also_o say_v chapter_n

for_o sin_n then_o be_v these_o testimony_n most_o untrue_a but_o in_o that_o they_o be_v yea_o and_o amen_o they_o most_o true_o declare_v the_o definition_n of_o their_o mass_n to_o be_v false_a and_o that_o the_o necessity_n of_o daily_o sacrifice_v for_o sin_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o the_o truth_n also_o see_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v but_o one_o only_a oblation_n for_o sin_n but_o also_o but_o once_o offer_v and_o that_o by_o christ_n himself_o the_o papist_n be_v condemn_v for_o notorious_a heretic_n that_o will_v have_v so_o many_o
