1. Wherfore holy brethren, ye that are partakers of the heauely callynge, consyder the Embasseatour and hye prest of or profession, Christ Iesus,

2. which is faithfull to him that ordeyned him, euen as was Moses in all his house.

3. But this man is worthy of greater honoure then moses, in as moch as he which prepareth the house, hath greater honoure in it, then the house it selfe.

4. For euery house is prepared of some ma: but he that ordeyned all thinges, is God.

5. And Moses verely was faithfull in all his house as a mynister, to beare witnes of those thinges which were to be spoken afterwarde:

6. But Christ as a sonne hath rule ouer his house, whose house are we, yf we holde fast the confidence and reioysinge of that hope vnto the ende.

7. Wherfore, as ye holy goost sayeth: Todaye yf ye shal heare his voyce,

8. harden not youre hertes, as in the prouokynke in the daye of temptacion in the wyldernes,

9. where youre fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes fortye yeares longe.

10. Wherfore I was greued wt that generacion, and sayde: They erre euer in their hertes. But they knewe not my wayes,

11. so that I sware in my wrath, that they shulde not enter in to my rest.

12. Take hede brethren, that there be not in eny of you an euell hert of vnbeleue, to departe from the lyuynge God:

13. but exhorte youre selues daylie, whyle it is called to daye, lest eny of you waxe harde harted thorow ye disceatfulnes of synne.

14. For we are become partakers of Christ, yf we kepe sure vnto ye ende the begynnynge of the substace,

15. solonge as it is sayde: Todaye, yf ye shal heare his voyce, harde not youre hertes, as in the prouocacio.

16. For some whan they herde, prouoked. Howbeit not all they yt came out of Egipte by Moses.

17. But with whom was he displeased fortye yeares longe? Was he not displeased with them yt synned, whose carcases were ouerthrowne in ye wyldernesse?

18. To whom sware he, yt they shulde not enter in to his rest, but vnto the yt beleued not?

19. And we se yt they coulde not enter in because of vnbeleue.
