Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
AS the High-Priest went into the Holiest, when he thither went, alone: So to do that work, he went in thither but once a year. Thou shalt not come at all times, said God to him, […] ⟨p. 207⟩the Holy Place, within the Veil, before the Mercy-Seat, which is upon the Ark, that thou die not, Levit. 16 2.

And as he was to go in thither but once a year, so not then neither, unless clothed and adorned with his Aaronical Holy Robes. Then he was to be clothed, as I hinted before, with the Holy Robes, the Frontlet of Gold upon his Forehead, the names of the twelve Tribes upon his Breast, and the Jingling Bells upon the Skirts of his Garment; nor would all this do, unless he went in thither with Blood, Exod. 28. Levit. 16
Now this once a year, the Apostle taketh special notice of, and makes great use of it, Once a year, saith he, this High-Priest went in thither: once a year, that is, to show that Christ should once in the end of the world, go into Heaven it self to make intercession there for us. For by this word, year, He shows the term and time of the world is meant, and by once in that year, the means once in the end of the world.
