Something must yet be added as unto the reading of the words themselves which influenceth their proper sense. [Greek or Hebrew], necessary, of necessity must have the verb substantive added to determine its signification. Erasmus adds, est; it is necessary; and we render it, it is of necessity. Beza supplies, fuit, as doth the Syriac Interpreter [Greek or Hebrew] fuit, erat, it was necessary. And so he renders [Greek or Hebrew], by quod offerret, which he should offer, in both respecting the time past. Others render it by quod offerat, which he may offer, with respect unto the time present or to come. And Beza gives this account of his Translation, namely, that the Apostle having respect unto the Sacrifice of Christ which was past, affirms, that it was necessary that he should have somewhat that he might offer; and not that it is necessary, that he should have somewhat to offer. And although I will not deny, but that the Lord by reason of the perpetual efficacy of his Oblation and the ⟨p. 197⟩Representation of it in his Intercession, may be said to offer himself, yet his Sacrifice and Oblation of himself were properly on the Earth, as I have fully proved elsewhere.
