And the word herd profitide [profitith T.] not to hem, not meynt [mengyd GMPSTX.] to feith of these thingis that thei herden. [verse 3] Forsoth [For V.] we that han by|leuyd schulen entre into rest, as he seyde, As I swoor in my wraththe, if [Om. NV.] thei schu|len [scholen not NV.] entre into my reste. And sotheli the [whanne the V.] werkis maad [weren maad V.] parfyt fro [forsothe O.] the ordynaunce [verse 4] of the world, forsothe [Om. V.] he seide thus in sum place of the seueneth day, And God restide in the seueneth day from alle his werkis. [verse 5] And in this [this place V.] eftsoone, If [Om.

restide of his werkis, as and God of hise. [verse 11] Therfore haste we for [Om. SX.] to entre into that reste, that no man falle into the same ensaumple [exsaumple SX.] of vnbileue. [verse 12] Forsoth the word of God is quyk, and spedy in [and O.] worching, and more `able for to perse [able to perse SX. peersable T.] than al [any N. a O.] tweyne [two GMPST. twei X.] eggid swerd, and en|trynge [strecchinge out G. strecchinge MPT. strengin V.] , `or strecchinge [Om.

Forsothe alle thingis ben nakid and opyn to his yȝen, to whom a word to vs. [verse 14] Therfore we hauynge a greet bischop, that perside heuenes, Jhesu, the sone of God, holde [holde we GMPSTY.] the confessioun [knowleching O.] , `or knowleching [Om.
