Jesus Our Apostle and High Priest

1Therfore holy brethren, partakers of the celestiall callyng, consider the apostle and hye priest of our profession Christe Iesus, 2Beyng faythfull to hym that appoynted hym, as also was Moyses in all his house. 3For this man is counted worthy of more glorie then Moyses, inasmuch as he which hath buylded the house, hath more honour then the house. 4For euery house is buylded of some man: But he that buylded all thynges, is God. 5And Moyses veryly was faythfull in al his house, as a minister, for a witnesse of those thynges whiche were to be spoken after: 6But 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.

Do Not Harden Your Hearts
(Psalm 95:1–11)

7Wherfore, as the holy ghost saith: Today yf ye wyll heare his voyce,

8Harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng, in the day of the temptation in the wyldernesse,

9Where your fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes 40 yeres.

10Wherfore I was greeued with that generation, and sayde: they do alway erre in heart, they veryly haue not knowen my wayes.

11So that I sware in my wrath, yf they shall enter into my rest.

The Peril of Unbelief

12Take heede brethren, lest at any tyme there be in you an euyll heart of vnbeliefe, to depart from the lyuyng God: 13But exhort ye one another dayly, whyle it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened, through the deceytfulnesse of sinne. 14For we are made partakers of Christe, yf we kepe sure vnto the ende the begynnyng of the substaunce,

15So long as it is said: to day yf ye wyll heare his voyce, harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng.

16For some when they had hearde, dyd prouoke: howe be it, not all that came out of Egypt by Moyses. 17But with whom was he displeased fourtie yeres? Not with them that had sinned, whose carkases fell in the desert? 18And to who sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient? 19And we see that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbeliefe.
