We han siche a bischop, that sat in the ri&yogh;thalf of the seete of greetnesse in heuenes, 2   the mynystre of seyntis, and of the veri tabernacle, that God made, and not man. 3   For ech bischop is ordeyned to offre &yogh;iftis and sacrificis; wherfor it is nede, that also this bischop haue sum thing that he schal offre. 4   Therfor if he were on erthe, he were no preest, whanne ther weren that schulden offre &yogh;iftis bi the lawe, 5   whiche seruen to the saumpler and schadewe of heueneli thingis.

saumpler, that is schewid to thee in the mount. 6   But now he hath getun a betere mynysterie, bi so myche as he is a mediatour of a betere testament, which is confermyd with betere biheestis. 7   For if the ilke firste hadde lackid blame, the place of the secounde schulde not haue be sou&yogh;t. 8   For he repreuynge hem seith, Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal make perfit a newe testament on the hous of Israel, and on the hous of Juda; 9   not lijk the testament that Y made to her fadris, `in the dai in which Y cau&yogh;te her hond, that Y schulde lede hem out of the loond of Egipt; for thei dwelliden not perfitli in my testament, and Y haue dispisid hem, seith the Lord. 10   But this is the testament, which Y schal dispose to the hous of Israel aftir tho daies, seith the Lord, in &yogh;yuynge my lawis in to the soulis of hem, and in to the hertis of hem I schal aboue write hem; and Y schal be to hem in to a God, and they schulen be to me in to a puple. 11   And ech man schal not teche his nei&yogh;ebore, and ech man his brother, seiynge, Knowe thou the Lord; for alle men schulen knowe me, fro the lesse to the more of hem. 12   For Y schal be merciful to the wickidnesse of hem, and now Y schal not bithenke on the synnes of hem. 13   But in seiynge a newe, the formere wexide eeld; and that that is of many daies, and wexith eeld, is ny&yogh; the deeth.
