9

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

10

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
