CHAP. VII.
1 Christ Iesus is a Priest after the order of Melchisedec, 11 And so, farre more excellent then the Priests of Aarons order.
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, hauing neither beginning of dayes nor end of life: but made like vnto the Sonne of God, abideth a Priest continually.3
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.6
7 And without all contradiction, the lesse is blessed of the better.
9 And as I may so say, Leui also who receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For hee was yet in the loynes of his Father when Melchisedec met him.
12 For the Priesthood being chaunged, there is made of necessitie a change also of the Law.
16 Who is made not after the Law of a carnall commandement, but after the power of an endles life.
17 For hee testifieth; Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedec.
19 For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did: by the which wee draw nigh vnto God.19
20 And in as much as not without an othe he was made Priest,
21 (For those Priests were made without an oath: but this with an oath, by him þt said vnto him, The Lord sware and wil not repent, thou art a Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec)21
22 By so much was Iesus made a suertie of a better Testament.
23 And they truely were many Priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death.
24 But this man because hee continueth euer, hath an vnchangeable Priesthood.24
25 Wherefore he is able also to saue them to the vttermost, that come vnto God by him, seeing hee euer liueth to make intercession for them.25
28 For the Law maketh men high Priests which haue infirmitie, but the word of the othe which was since the Law, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore.28
