Prolog to the pistle to Ebrews.
In the firste it is to seie, whi the apostle
Poul in this pistle `in wrytynge
ne kepte not his maner, or his custom,
that he wroot othir the word of his name,
othir the dignyte of ordre. This is the
cause, that he wrytinge to hem that of
circumcisioun hadde bileuyd, was as an
apostle of paymes, and not of Ebrewis;
knowynge also her pride, schewynge also
his mekenesse by feith, the merit of his
office he wolde not seie bifore. For in
lyche maner John apostle, for mekenesse,
in his pistle his name by the same resoun
putte not bifore. This pistle therfore
the apostle is seid to haue sent to
Ebrews ywrite in Ebrew tunge; whos
witt and ordre holdynge, Luk, the euangelist,
aftir the passinge of blessid Poul,
`the apostle, made in Grew langage.
Here endith the prolog, and bigynneth
the epistle.
