Chapter 10 › Section 4: §. 4. Of oft offering legal Sacrifices.
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.
This verse is added as aa proof of the reason concerning the impotency of the foresaid legal sacrifices.

That which makes perfect ceaseth, when it hath made perfect; but the sacrifices which were offered up year by year continually, ceased not: therefore they could not make perfect.
