16 For where a testament is, it is nede, that the deth of the testament makere come bitwixe.

17 For a testament is confermed in deed men; ellis it is not worthe, while he lyueth, that made the testament.

18 Wherfor nether the firste testament was halewid without blood.

19 For whanne ech maundement of the lawe was red of Moises to al the puple, he took the blood of calues, and of buckis of geet, with watir, and reed wolle, and ysope, and bispreynde bothe thilke book and al the puple,

20 and seide, This is the blood of the testament, that God comaundide to you.
