1Wherfore holy brethren partakers of the celestiall callinge consyder the embasseatour and hye prest of oure profession Christ Iesus

2which was faythfull to him that made him even as was Moses in all his housse.

3And this man was counted worthy of more glory then Moses: In as moche as he which hath prepared the housse hath most honoure in the housse.

4Every housse is prepared of some man. But he that ordeyned all thinges is god.

5And Moses verely was faythfull in all his housse as a minister to beare witnes of tho thinges which shuld be spoken afterwarde.

6But Christ as a sonne hath rule over the housse whose housse are we so that we hold fast the confydence and the reioysynge of that hope vnto the ende.

7Wherfore as the holy goost sayth: to daye if ye shall heare his voyce

8harden not youre hertes after the rebellyon in the daye of temptacion in the wildernes

9where youre fathers tempted me proved me and sawe my workes xl. yeare longe.

10Wherfore I was greved with the generacion and sayde. They erre ever in their hertes: they verely have not knowe my wayes

11so that I sware in my wrathe that they shuld not enter into my rest.

12Take hede brethren that therbe in none of you an evyll herte in vnbeleve that he shuld departe from the lyvynge god:

13but exhorte one another dayly whill is it called to daye lest eny of you wexe harde herted thorow the deceytfullnesse of sinne.

14We are partetakers of Christ yf we kepe sure vnto the ende the fyrst substance

15so longe as it is sayd: to daye yf ye heare his voyce harde not youre hertes as when ye rebelled.

16For some when they hearde rebelled: howbe it not all that came out of Egypt vnder Moses.

17But with who was he despleased .xl. yeares? Was he not displeased with them that synned: whose carkases were overthorwen in the desert?

18To whom sware he that they shuld not enter into his rest: but vnto them that beleved not?

19And we se that they coulde not enter in because of vnbeleve.
