[1] Therfore holy brethren, partakers of the celestiall callyng, consider the apostle and hye priest of our profession Christe Iesus
[2] Beyng faythfull to hym that appoynted hym, as also [was] Moyses in all his house
[3] For this [man] is counted worthy of more glorie then Moyses, inasmuch as he which hath buylded the house, hath more honour then the house
[4] For euery house is buylded of some man: But he that buylded all thynges, is God
[5] And Moyses veryly [was] faythfull in al his house, as a minister, for a witnesse of those thynges whiche were to be spoken after
[6] But Christe as a sonne [hath rule] ouer his owne house, whose house are we, yf we holde fast the confidence and the reioycyng of that hope vnto the ende
[7] Wherfore, as the holy ghost saith: Today yf ye wyll heare his voyce
[8] Harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng, in the day of the temptation in the wyldernesse
[9] Where your fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes 40 yeres
[10] Wherfore I was greeued with that generation, and sayde: they do alway erre in heart, they veryly haue not knowen my wayes
[11] So that I sware in my wrath, yf they shall enter into my rest
[12] Take heede brethren, lest at any tyme there be in you an euyll heart of vnbeliefe, to depart from the lyuyng God
[13] But exhort ye one another dayly, whyle it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceytfulnesse of sinne
[14] For we are made partakers of Christe, yf we kepe sure vnto the ende the begynnyng of the substaunce
[15] So long as it is said: to day yf ye wyll heare his voyce, harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng
[16] For some when they had hearde, dyd prouoke: howe be it, not all that came out of Egypt by Moyses
[17] But with whom was he displeased fourtie yeres? Not with them that had sinned, whose carkases fell in the desert
[18] And to who sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient
[19] And we see that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbeliefe
