Chapter 68: LXVIII. Of the High-Priests going in thither but once a year.
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.
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.

Not, saith he, that he should offer himself often: as the High-Priest entered into the Holy Place every year with the Blood of others: for them must the often have suffered, ⟨p. 208⟩since the foundation of the World. But now once in the end of the World, hath he appeared to put away sin, by the Sacrifice of himself, Heb. 9.
And having thus once offered his Sacrifice without the Veil, he is now gone into the Holiest to perfect his Work of Mediation for us: Not into the Holy Places made with Hands, which are the Figures of the True, but into Heaven it self; Now to appear in the presence of God for us.
