And in as much as not without an othe he was made Priest,

(For those Priests were made without an oath: but this with an oath, by him y t said vnto him, The Lord sware and wil not repent, thou art a Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec)

For such an high Priest became vs, who is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher then the heauens.

¶ Now of the things which we haue spoken, this is the summe: wee haue such an high Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Maiestie in the heauens:

For euery high Priest is ordeined to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessitie that this man haue somewhat also to offer.

And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices which can neuer take away sinnes.
