¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus:² Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house.³ For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house.⁴ For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God.⁵ Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after.⁶ But Christ is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende.

⁷ Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce,⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes,⁹ Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long.¹⁰ Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes.¹¹ Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.¹² Take heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing God.¹³ But exhort one another dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne.¹⁴ For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden,¹⁵ So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation.¹⁶ For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.¹⁷ But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes?¹⁸ And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them yt obeyed not?¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
