| Quotation |
Quod vero patriarcha magnus decimas omnis substantiae suae Melchisedech sacerdoti post
benedictionem dedit, sciens spiritualiter melius sacerdotium futurum in populo gentium quam
Leviticum, quod de ipso in Israel erat nasciturum, futurumque, ut sacerdotium Ecclesiae habens
praeputium benediceret in Abraham circumciso sacerdotium Synagogae. |
| Translation |
But because the great patriarch gave a tenth of all his property to the priest Melchisedech after his blessing, knowing spiritually that there would be a better priesthood in the people of the nations than the Levitic priesthood which had been born in Israel itself, and was to be, so that the priesthood of the Church, having a foreskin, should bless in the circumcised Abraham the priesthood of the Synagogue. |
