partly whill all men wondred and gased at you for the shame and trioulacion that was done vnto you and partly whill ye became companyons of the which so passed their tyme.

For ye suffered also with my bondes and toke a worth the spoylynge of youre goodes and that with gladnes knowynge in youre selves how that ye had in heven a better and an endurynge substaunce

For ye have nede of paciece that after ye have done ye will of god ye myght receave the promes.

For yet a very lytell whyle and he that shall come will come and will not tary.

Fayth is a sure confidence of thynges which are hoped for and a certayntie of thynges which are not sene.

By fayth was Enoch traslated yt he shuld not se deeth: nether was he founde: for God had taken him awaye. Before he was taken awaye he was reported of that he had pleased God:

but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him.

For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacio whose bylder and maker is God.

But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.

for he cosidered that God was able to rayse vp agayne fro deeth. Wherfore receaved he him for an ensample.

and chose rather to suffre adversitie wt the people of God then to enioye the pleasurs of synne for a ceason

and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater ryches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect vnto ye rewarde.

By fayth he forsoke Egypt and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured even as he had sene him which is invisible.

And what shall I more saye ye tyme wold be to short for me to tell of Gedeo of Barach and of Samson and of Iephthae: also of David and Samuel and of the Prophetes:

God provydinge a better thinge for vs that they with out vs shuld not be made parfecte.

lokynge vnto Iesus the auctor and fynnyssher of oure fayth which for the ioye that was set before him abode the crosse and despysed the shame and is set doune on the right honde of ye trone of God.

For ye have not yet resisted vnto bloud sheddinge stryvinge agaynst synne.

For whom the Lorde loveth him he chasteneth: yee and he scourgeth every sonne that he receaveth.

And they verely for a feaue dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he learneth vs vnto that which is proffitable that we myght receave of his holines.

No manner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyeous but greveous: neverthelesse afterwarde it bryngeth the quyet frute of rightewesnes vnto them which are therin exercysed.
