Tyndale(i)
20 whither ye fore runner is for vs entred in I mea Iesus that is made an hye prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech.
7 1 This Melchisedech kynge of Salem (which beinge prest of ye most hye god met Abraham as he returned agayne from the slaughter of the kynges and blessed him:
2 to whom also Abraham gave tythes of all thynges) fyrst is by interpretacion kynge of rightewesnes: after yt he is kynge of Sale yt is to saye kynge of peace
3 with out father wt out mother with out kynne and hath nether begynnynge of his tyme nether yet ende of his lyfe: but is lykened vnto the sonne of god and cotinueth a preste for ever.
4 Consyder what a man this was vnto who the patriarke Abraham gave tythes of the spoyles.
5 And verely those children of levy which receave the office of the prestes have a commaundement to take a cordyng to the lawe tythes of the people that is to saye of their brethren yee though they spronge out of the loynes of Abraham.
6 But he whose kynred is not counted amonge them receaved tythes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promyses.
7 And no man denyeth but that which is lesse receaveth blessinge of yt which is greater.
8 And here men that dye receave tythes. But there he receaveth tythes of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And to saye the trueth Levy him silfe also which receaveth tythes payed tythes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham when Melchisech met him.
