Chap. II.
He inferreth of the foresaid, that it shal be incomparably more damnable for them to neglect
the nevv Testament then the old, 3 considering the irrefragable authoritie
of the Apostles also. 5 Then he prosecuteth the excellencie of Christ aboue the
Angels, 9 vvho neuertheles, vvas made lesser then Angels, to suffer and
die for men, to destroy the dominion of the Diuel, 15 to deliuer men from feare of
death, 17 and to be a fitte Priest for men.
1 Therfore more aboundantly ought
vve to obserue those things vvhich vve
haue heard: note note lest perhaps vve runne out.
2 For if the vvord that vvas spoken by
Angels, became sure, and al preuarication
and disobedience hath receiued a iust retribution
of revvard:
3 hovv shal vve
-- --
escape if vve neglect so great saluation? vvhich vvhen it
vvas begonne to be declared by our Lord, of them that heard
vvas confirmed on vs,
4 noteGod vvithal testifying by signes,
& vvonders, and diuers miracles, & distributions of the holy
Ghost according to his vvil.
5 For not to Angels hath God
made subiect the world to come, whereof vve speake.
6 But
one hath testified in a certaine place, saying: Vvhat is man, that
thou art mindeful of him: or the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Thou
didst minish him litle lesse then Angels: with glorie and honour thou hast crovvned
him, and constituted him ouer the vvorkes of thy handes.
8 Al things hast
thou made subiect vnder his feete. note note For in that he subiected al things to
him, he left nothing not subiect to him. But novv vve see not
as yet al things subiected to him.
9 But note him that vvas a
litle lessened vnder the Angels, vve see Iesvs, note because of
the passion of death, crovvned vvith glorie and honour: that
through the grace of God he might tast death for al.
10 For it
became him for vvhom al things, and by vvhom al things,
that had brought many children into glorie, to consummate
the author of their saluation, by his passion.
11 For he that
sanctifieth, and they that be sanctified: al of one. For the
which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethr&ebar;,
12 saying,
I vvil declare thy name to my brethren: in the middes of the Church vvil I
praise thee. note
13 And againe, I vvil haue affiance in him. note And againe, Behold
here am I and my children: vvhom God hath giuen me. note
14 Therfore because
the children haue communicated vvith flesh & bloud,
him self also in like maner hath been partaker of the same:
that note by death he might destroy him that had the empire of
death, that is to say, the Deuil:
15 and might deliuer them that
by the feare of death through al their life vvere subiect to
seruitude.
16 For no vvhere doth he take Angels: but note the seede of
Abraham he taketh.
17 Vvherevpon he ought in al things to
be like vnto his brethren: that he might become a merciful
and faithful high Priest before God, that he might repropitiate
the sinnes of the people.
18 For in that vvherein him
self suffered and vvas tempted: he is able to helpe them also
that are tempted.
