For he of whom these things are spoken / pertaineth unto another tribe / of which never man served at the altar. For it is evident ⟨p. cccxxxix⟩that our lord sprung of the tribe of Judah / of which tribe spake Moses nothing concerning priesthood.
For he of whom these thynges are spoken / pertayneth vnto another trybe / of which never man served at the aultre. For it is evidēt ⟨p. cccxxxix⟩that oure lorde sprouge of the trybe of Iuda / of which trybe spake Moses nothynge concernynge presthod.
And it is yet a more evident thing / if after the similitude of Melchizedek / there arise another priest / which is not made after the law of the carnal commandment: but after the power of the endless life (For he testifieth:1 Thou art a priest forever / after the order of Melchizedek) Then the commandment that went a fore / is disannulled / because of her weakness and unprofitableness. For the law made nothing perfect: but was an introduction of a better hope / by which hope / we draw nigh unto god.
And it is yet a more evydent thinge / yf after the similitude of Melchisedech / ther aryse a nother prest / which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundmēt: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe (For he testifieth:1 Thou arte a prest forever / after the order of Melchysedech) Then the commaundmēt that went a fore / is disanulled / because of hir weaknes and vnproffitablenes. For the lawe made nothynge parfecte: but was an introduccion of a better hope / by which hope / we drawe nye vnto god.
