CAP. IX.
1 Sotheli and the formere hadde iustifyingis
of worschipe, and hooly thing
worldli, `that is, duringe for a tyme.
-- --
2 Forsoth the tabernacle was maad first, in
which weren candelstickis, and boord, and
puttinge forth of looues, that is seid hooly.
3 Forsoth aftir the veil, `or hydyng, the
secunde tabernacle, `that is seid `sancta
sanctorum, that is, hooly of hooli thingis;
hauynge a goldin sencer,
4 and the arke of
testament, keuerid aboute on ech syde with
gold, in the which a pot of gold hauynge
manna, and the &yogh;erd of Aaron that florischide,
and the tablis of testament;
5 vpon whiche thingis weren cherubyns of
glorie, schadewinge the propiciatorie; of
whiche thingis it is not now for to seye
by alle.
6 Forsoth thes maad thus to gidere,
sothli in the formere tabernacle
prestis entriden yn euermore, endinge
the officis of sacramentis;
7 forsoth in the
secunde tabernacle, `onys in the &yogh;eer the
bisshop aloone, not withoute blood, the
which he offrith for his ignoraunce and
the peplis.
8 The Hooly Gost signyfiynge
this thing, not &yogh;it the wei of seyntis for
`to be openyd, &yogh;it the former tabernacle
hauynge state.
9 The which parable is
of this present time, bisydis which &yogh;iftis
and oostis, `or sacrifysis, ben offrid, the
whiche mown not make a man seruynge
perfit by conscience, oonly in metis, and
drynkis,
10 and dyuerse waischingis, and ri&yogh;twysnessis
of fleisch, put `til to the tyme
of coreccioun.
11 Forsoth Crist beynge a
bischop of goodis to comynge, by a larger
and perfiter tabernacle, not maad by hond,
that is to seye,
12 not of this makyng, nether
by blood of gootbuckis, or of caluys, but
bi his owne blood, entride oonys into hooly
thingis, euerlasting redemcioun foundyn.
13 Forsoth if the blood of goot buckis, and
-- --
bolis, and asche of a cow calf spreynd,
halowith vnclene men to the clensyng of
fleisch,
14 how moche more the blood of Crist,
the which by the Hooly Gost offride hym
vnwemmyd to God, schal clense oure conscience
fro deede workis, for to serue to
`God lyuynge?
15 And therfore he is a mediatour
of new testament, that deeth
fallinge bitwixe, into redempcioun of the
trespassyngis that weren vndir the former
testament, thei that ben clepid take repromyscioun
of euerlasting eritage.
16 Sotheli
where is a testament, it is nede, that
the deeth of the testament maker come
bitwixe.
17 Forsoth the testament is confermyd
in deede men; ellis it is not
worth, the while he lyueth, that made
the testament.
18 Wherfore sothli nether
the firste testament is halowid withoute
blood.
19 Forsoth ech maundement of the
lawe radd of Moyses to al the peple, he
takynge the blood of calues, and of buckis
of geet, with watir, and reed wolle, and
ysope, spreyngde and `the ilke book
and al the peple,
20 seyinge, This is the
blood of the testament, that God comaundide
to &yogh;ou.
21 Also he spreyngde by
blood the tabernacle, and alle the vessels
of mynysterie, `or seruyses, in lich manere.
22 And almost alle thinges ben clensid
in blood vp the lawe; and withoute sched
ing of blood remyssioun of synnes is not
maad.
23 Therfore it is nede the saumpleris
forsoth of heuenli thingis for to be clensid
with these thingis; forsoth `the ilke
heuenly thingis with betere oostis than
thes.
24 Forsoth Jhesus entride not into
hooly thingis maad by hondis, the saumplers
-- --
of verri thingis, but into `the ilke
heuene, that he appere now to chere,
`or face, of God for vs;
25 nether that he
offre him silf ofte, as the bischop entride
into hooli thingis by alle &yogh;eeris in alien
blood,
26 ellis it bihofte hym ofte for to
suffre fro the bigynnyng of the world;
now forsoth onys in the endyng of the
worldis, to distruccioun of synne by his
oost,
27 `or sacrifice, he apperide, and as it
is ordeyned to men, oonys for to deie.
