Hebrews9:25

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high-priest entreth into the Holy place every year with the blood of others.

The excellency of Christ's Sacrifice beyond the Aaronical, is argued here from its singularity; it needs no repetition, as their multiplied Sacrifices did. [non-Latin text not transcribed] introducing it, is but inferring this excellency of Christ's Sacrifice, by denying in it that weakness which was annexed to the legal ones; there was no need that he should die yearly, to fulfil the Type of the often yearly Sacrifices of the Legal High-Priest, who entred with the Blood of Bulls and Goats, strange Blood to him, and not his own, into the Holy of Holiest in the Tabernacle, and entred so every year once to shew the vertue of his Sacrifice to be only signal, typical, and passing, to make room for a better, that single individual one of Christ, in respect of Sacrifice and Oblation.
