§. 4. Of oft offering legal Sacrifices.
Heb. 10. 2. For then would they not have ceased to be offered, because that the Worshippers once purged, should have had no more conscience of sins.
This verse is added as aa proof of the reason concerning the impotency of the foresaid legal sacrifices. The reason was taken from the reiteration of those sacrifices, whereby it was manifest, that they could not make perfect. The Argument may be thus framed. 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.
