Heb. vii 11 If therefore Perfection were by the Le itical Priesthood, (for under it the People received the Law) what further Need was there that another Prieft fhould rife after the Or der of Melchifedec, and not be cal led after the Order of Aaron? 12 For the Priesthood being changed, there is made of neceffity a Change alfo of the Law 13 For he of whom thefe Things are fpoken pertaineth to another Tribe, of which no Man gave At tendance at the Altar 14 For it is evident that OUR LORD fprang out of Juda: of which Tribe Moles fpake nothing concerning Priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the Sim luude of Mel chifedec there arifeth another Priest, 16 Who is made, not after the Law of a carnal Commandment, but after the PowER of an ENDLESS LIFE. 17 For he teftifieth thou art a PRIEST for EVER after the ORDER of MELCHISEDEC.
