5 Wherfore, when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacryfyce and offerynge thou woldest not haue: but a bodye hast thou ordeyned me:
6 Burnt offerynges also for synne hast thou not alowed.
7 Then sayd I: lo, I am here. In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me, that I shuld do thy will, o God.
8 Aboue, when he sayeth: sacryfice & offeryng, & burnt sacryfyces and synne offerynges thou woldest not haue, nether hast thou alowed them (whiche yet are offered by the lawe)
9 then sayd he: Lo, I am here, to do thy wyll, o God: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter,
10 by wych will we are made holy, euyn by the offeryng of the body of Iesu Christe once for all.
