For such an High-Priest became us, who is Holy, Harmless, Undefiled, Separate from Sinners, and made higher than the H•avens; who needeth not daily, as those High-Priests, to offer up Sacrifice, first for his own Sins, and then for the Sins of the People; for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
