^7:4Now consider how great this man was, vnto whō euen the patriarch Abraham gaue the tenth of the spoiles.

^7:5And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

^7:5And verily they that are of the sonnes of Leui, who receiue the office of the Priesthood, haue a commandement to take Tithes of the people according to the Law, that is of their brethren, though they come out of the loines of Abraham:

^7:6But he whose ^‖descent is not counted from them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

^7:7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

^7:7And without all contradiction, the lesse is blessed of the better.

^7:8And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

^7:8And here men that die receiue tithes: but there hee receiueth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liueth.

^7:9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

^7:10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

^7:10For hee was yet in the loynes of his Father when Melchisedec met him.

^7:11If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

^7:11If therefore perfection were by the Leuiticall Priesthood (for vnder it the people receiued the Law) what further neede was there, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not bee called after the order of Aaron?

^7:14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

^7:14For it is euident that our Lorde sprang out of Iuda, of which tribe Moses spake nothing cōcerning Priesthood.

^7:15And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

^7:15And it is yet farre more euident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another Priest,

^7:16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

^7:16Who is made not after the Law of a carnall commandement, but after the power of an endles life.

^7:17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

^7:17For hee testifieth; Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedec.

^7:18For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

^7:20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

^7:20And in as much as not without an othe he was made Priest,

^7:21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

^7:21(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)

^7:23And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

^7:24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

^7:25Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
