Jesus

And in this place againe, If they shall enter into my rest.

Againe he appointed in Dauid a certaine day, by To day, after so long a time, saying, as it is sayd, This day, if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts.

For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not after this haue spoke of an other day.

For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his owne works, as God did from his.

Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open vnto his eyes, with whome we haue to doe.

Seeing then that wee haue a great hie Priest, which is entred into heauen, euen Iesus the Sonne of God, let vs holde fast our profession.

For we haue not an hie Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sinne.

So likewise Christ tooke not to him selfe this honour, to be made the hie Priest, but hee that sayd vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee, gaue it him.

As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec.

Who in the dayes of his flesh did offer vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares vnto him, that was able to saue him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared.

And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.

And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him:

And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec.

Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection, not laying againe ye foundation of repetance from dead workes, and of faith toward God,

If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him.

Whither the forerunner is for vs entred in, euen Iesus that is made an hie Priest for euer after the order of Melchi-sedec.

Without father, without mother, without kinred, and hath neither beginning of his dayes, neither ende of life: but is likened vnto the Sonne of God, and continueth a Priest for euer.

For hee of whome these things are spoken, perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no man serued at the altar.

For it is euident, that our Lord sprung out of Iuda, concerning the which tribe Moses spake nothing, touching the Priesthood.

For hee testifieth thus, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec.

And for as much as it is not without an othe (for these are made Priestes without an othe:

But this is made with an othe by him that said vnto him, The Lord hath sworne, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec)

By so much is Iesus made a suretie of a better Testament.

But this man, because hee endureth euer, hath a Priesthood, which cannot passe from one to another.

Wherefore, hee is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, seeing he euer liueth, to make intercession for them.
