¶ The .v. Chapter. &cross2; ¶ Christ is oure hye preste, and seate of grace, and more excellent then þe; hye prestes of the olde lawe.

A   For euery hye preste that is taken from amonge men, is ordeyned for men, in thynges pertaynynge to God note to offer gyftes and sacrifyces for synne, which can haue compassion on the ignoraunt, and on th&ebar; that erre out of the waye, for as moch as he him selfe also is compassed with infirmitie. And for the same infirmities sake he is bo&ubar;de to offer for synnes, as well for him selfe, as for the people. And no man taketh honour vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

B   Eu&ebar; so Christ also glorified not him selfe, to be made the hye preste: but he that sayde vnto him, note thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begoten the, glorifyed him. As he sayeth also in another place: note thou art a Preste for euer after the order of Melchisedech &cross3; which in þe; dayes of his flesshe, whan he had offered vp prayers and supplicaci&obar;s, with stronge cryinge and teares (vnto him that was able to saue him from deeth) and was hearde because of hys reuerence, though he were þe; sonne (of God) yet learned he obedience, by those thynges which he suffered: ∧ he beynge perfecte, was the cause of eternall saluacion vnto all th&ebar; that obeyed him: and is called of God an hye Prest, after the order of Melchisedech.

C   Wherof we wolde speake many thinges but they are harde to be vttered: seynge ye are dull of hearinge. For wh&ebar; as c&obar;cerninge the tyme, ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye nede agayne, that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of God: and are become soch as &rhand; haue nede of note mylke: and not of stronge meate: for euery man that is fed with mylke, is inexperte in the worde of ryghteousnes. For he is but a babe. But stronge meate belongeth to them that are perfecte euen those, which (by reason of vse) haue their wittes exercised to discerne both good and euyll.
