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 if our Lord Jesus is gone indeed, Now to appear in the presence of God for us: and if this now be the once a year, that the Type speaks of: The once in the end of the World, as our Apostle says; then it follows, that the People of God should all stand waiting for his Benediction, that to them he shall bring with him, when he shall return from thence. Wherefore he adds, Christ was once offered to bury the sins of many, and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto Salvation.
