Necessity of Changing the Priesthood and Law

11

If therefore perfection had bene by the Priesthoode of the Leuites (for vnder it the Lawe was established to the people) what needed it furthermore, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchi-sedec, and not to be called after the order of Aaron?

12

For if the Priesthood be changed, then of necessitie must there be a change of the Lawe.

13

For hee of whome these things are spoken, perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no man serued at the altar.

14

For it is euident, that our Lord sprung out of Iuda, concerning the which tribe Moses spake nothing, touching the Priesthood.

15

And it is yet a more euident thing, because that after the similitude of Melchi-sedec, there is risen vp another Priest,

16

Which is not made Priest after the Law of the carnal commandement, but after the power of the endlesse life.

17

For hee testifieth thus, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec.

18

For the commandement that went afore, is disanulled, because of the weakenes thereof, and vnprofitablenes.

19

For the Law made nothing perfite, but the bringing in of a better hope made perfite, whereby we drawe neere vnto God.
