    Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of
    speech:
    And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the
    children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that
    which is abolished:
    But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the
    same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which
    vail is done away in Christ.
