The .ii. Chapter.

VVherfore we ought to geve y^e more he¦de* 1.1 to y^e thing{is} we have herde lest we [ A] perysshe. For yf the worde which was spokē by angels was stedfast: so y^t every trāsgressiō & disobediēce receaved a iust r••cō∣pēce to rewarde: how shall we escape / yf we despyse so great saluaciō which at y^e fyrst be∣gā to be preached of y^e lorde him silfe / & after∣warde was cōformed vnto vs warde / by thē y^e hearde it / god bearynge witnes therto / bothe with sygnes and wonders also / and with di∣vers * 1.2 miracles / & gyftes of the holy gooste / accordynge to his awne will.

He hath not vnto the angels put in subiec¦cion the worlde to come / where of we speake. But one in a certayne place witnessed / sayin∣ge. [ B] What is man / that thou arte myndfull of him? After thou haddest for a feason made him lower then the angels: tho•• crounedst him with honour and glory / and hast set him above the workes of thy hondes. Thou hast put all thynges in subieccion vnder his fete. In that he put all thynges vnder him / he left nothynge that is not put vnder him. Never∣thelesse we yet se not all thynges subdued but him y^t was made lesse thē y^e angelles: we se that it was Iesus which is crouned with glo¦ry and honour for the sofferinge of death: that he by the grace of god / shulde tast of deeth for all men.

For it becam him / for whom are all thyng{is} [ C] & by whom are all thynges / after that he had brought many sonnes vnto glory / that he

shuld make the lorde of their saluacion par∣fect thorow sofferynge. For he that sancti∣fieth / and they which are sanctified•• are all of one▪ For which causes sake / he is not a sham* 1.3 de to call thē brethren sayinge: I will declare thy name vnto my brethren / and in the myd∣des of the congregaciō will I prayse the. And agayne: I will put my trust in him. And agay¦ne. beholde here am I and the children which god hath geven me. [ D]

For as moche then as the children were* 1.4 parte takers offlesshe and bloud / he also him silfelyke wyse toke parte with them / for to put doune thorow deth / him that had lord∣shippe over deeth / that i•• to saye the devyll / & y^• he myght delyver thē which thorow feare of deeth were all their lyfe tyme in daūger of bondage. For he in no place taketh on him the angels: but the seede of Abraham taketh he on him. Wherfore in all thynges it became him to be made lyke vnto his brethrē / ••hat he myght be mercifull and a faythfull hye pre∣ste in thynges concernynge god / for to pourge the peoples synnes. For in that he him silfe suffered and was tempted / he is able to sucker them that are tempted.
