Chap. VI.
He exhorteth them to be perfect scholers, and not to neede to be Catechumens againe, 4
considering they can not be baptized againe: 9 and remembring their former
good vvorkes; for the vvhich God vvil not faile to performe them his promis, if
they faile not to imitate Abraham by perseuêrance in the faith vvith patience.
20 and so endeth his digre&esset;ion, and returneth to the matter of Christes
Priesthod.
1 Vvherfore intermitting the vvord of
the beginning of Christ, let vs proceede to
perfection, not againe laying09Q1349 the foundati&obar;
of penance from dead vvorkes, and of faith
tovvard God,
2 of the doctrine of baptismes,
and of imposition of handes, and of the resurrection of the
dead, and of eternal iudgement.
3 And this shal vve doe, if
God vvill permit.
4 For note it is09Q1350 impossible for them that
were once illuminated, haue tasted also the heauenly gift, and
vvere made partakers of the holy Ghost,
5 haue moreouer
tasted the good vvord of God, and the povvers of the world
-- --
to come,
6 and are fallen: to be renevved againe to pen&abar;ce,
crucifying againe to them selues the sonne of God, and making
him a mockerie.
7 For the earth drinking the raine
often c&obar;ming vpon it, & bringing forth grasse commodious
for them by vvhom it is tilled, receiueth blessing of God.
8 but bringing forth thornes and bryers, it is reprobate, and
very neere a curse, vvhose end is, to be burnt.
9 But note vve confidently trust of you, my best beloued,
better things and neerer to saluation: although vve speake
thus.
10 For09Q1351 God is not vniust, that he should forget your
vvorke & loue which you haue shevved in his name, vvhich
haue ministred to the sainctes and do minister.
11 And our
desire is that euery one of you shevv forth the same carefulnesse
to the accomplishing of hope vnto the end:
12 that
you become not slouthful, but imitatours of them vvhich by
faith and patience shal inherite the promisses.
13 For God
promising to Abraham, because he had none greater by vvh&obar;
he might sweare, he sware by him self,
14 saying, note Vnles blessing
I shal blesse thee, and multiplying shal multiplie thee.
15 And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.
16 For m&ebar;
svveare by a greater then them selues: and the end of al their
controuersie, for the confirmation, is an othe.
17 Vvherein
God meaning more aboundantly to shevv to the heires of
the promise the stabilitie of his co&ubar;sel, he interposed an othe:
18 that by tvvo things vnmoueable, vvhereby it is impossible
for God to lie, vve may haue a most strong comfort. vvho
haue fled to hold fast the hope proposed,
19 vvhich vve haue
as an anker of the soule, sure and firme, and going in into the
inner partes of the vele,
20 vvhere Iesvs the precursor for
vs is entered, made a high priest for euer according to the order
of Melchisedec.
