CAP. II.
1 Therfor more plenteuousli it bihoueth
vs to kepe tho thingis, that we han herd,
lest perauenture we fleten awei.
2 For if
the ilke word that was seid bi aungels,
was maad sad, and ech brekyng of the
lawe and vnobedience took iust retribucioun
of meede,
3 hou schulen we ascape,
if we despisen so greet an heelthe?
Which, whanne it hadde takun bigynnyng
to be teld out by the Lord, of hem
that herden is confermyd in to vs.
4 For
God witnesside to gidere bi myraclis,
and wondris, and grete merueilis, and
dyuerse vertues, and departyngis of the
Hooli Goost, bi his wille.
5 But not to
aungels God sugetide the world that
is to comynge, of which we speken.
6 But sum man witnesside in a place, and
seide, What thing is man, that thou art
myndeful of hym, or mannus sone, for
thou visitist hym?
7 Thou hast maad hym
a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast
corowned hym with glorie and onour; and
thou hast ordeyned him on the werkis
of thin hondis.
8 Thou hast maad alle
thingis suget vndur hise feet. And in
that that he sugetide alle thingis to hym,
he lefte no thing vnsuget to him. But
-- --
now we seen not &yogh;it alle thingis suget
to hym;
9 but we seen hym that was maad
a litil lesse than aungels, Jhesu, for the
passioun of deth crowned with glorie
and onour, that he thorou&yogh; grace of God
schulde taste deth for alle men.
10 For it
bisemede hym, for whom alle thingis,
and bi whom `alle thingis weren maad,
which hadde brou&yogh;t many sones into
glorie, and was auctour of the heelthe
of hem, that he hadde an ende bi passioun.
11 For he that halewith, and thei
that ben halewid, ben alle of oon; for
which cause he is not schamed to clepe
hem britheren,
12 seiynge, Y schal telle thi
name to my britheren; in the myddil of
the chirche Y schal herie thee.
13 And eftsoone,
Y schal be tristnynge in to hym;
and eftsoone, Lo! Y and my children,
whiche God &yogh;af to me.
14 Therfor for
children comyneden to fleisch and blood,
and he also took part of the same, that
bi deth he schulde destrie hym that hadde
lordschipe of deth, that is to seie, the
deuel,
15 and that he schulde delyuere hem
that bi drede of deth, `bi al lijf weren
boundun to seruage.
16 And he took neuere
aungelis, but he took the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherfor he ou&yogh;te to be likned to
britheren bi alle thingis, that he schulde
be maad merciful and a feithful bischop
to God, that he schulde be merciful to
the trespassis of the puple.
18 For in that
thing in which he suffride, and was
temptid, he is mi&yogh;ti to helpe also hem
that ben temptid.
