Hebrews · Chapter 1

[ edit] Manyfold and many maners ſum tyme God ſpekinge to fadris in prophetis, at þe laſte in þes daies ſpak to vs in þe ſone; whom he ordeynede eyr of alle þingis, by whom he made and þe worldis. Þe which whanne he is þe ſchynynge of glorie, and figure of his ſubſtaunce, and berynge alle þingis bi word of his vertu, makynge purgacioun of ſynnes, ſittiþ on þe riȝþalf of mageſte in hiȝ þingis; ſo moche maad betere þan aungelis, by how moche he haþ inherited a more different, or excellent, name bifore hem. Forſoþ to which of þe aungels ſeide God ony tyme, Þou art my ſone, I haue gendrid þee to day? And eftſoone, I ſchal be to him into fadir, and he ſchal be to me into ſone?

And whanne eftſoone he bryngeþ yn þe firſte bigetyn into þe roundneſſe of þe erþe, he ſeiþ, And alle þe aungels of God worſchipe þei hym. And ſoþli to aungels he ſeiþ, Þe which makiþ his aungels ſpiritis, and his mynyſtris flawme of fyer. Forſoþ to þe ſone, God, þi trone into þe world of world; a ȝerd of equyte þe ȝerd of þi rewme; þou haſt louyd riȝtwyſneſſe, and hatediſt wickidneſſe; þerfore God, þi God, anoyntide þee wiþ oyle of gladneſſe, or ioye, bifore þi felowis.

And, Þou, Lord, in þe bigynnyng foundediſt þe erþe, and heuenes ben werkis of þin hondis; þei ſchulen periſche, forſoþ þou ſchalt perfitly dwelle; and alle ſchulen wexe olde as a cloþ, and þou ſchalt chaunge hem as an amyte, or girdyng aboute, and þei ſchulen be chaungid. Forſoþ þou ert þe ſame þi ſilf, and þi ȝeeris ſchulen not faylen. Forſoþ to which of þe aungels ſeide God ony tyme, Sitte þou on my riȝþalf, til I ſchal putte þin enemyes a ſtool of þi feet? Wher þei alle ben not ſeruyng ſpiritis, ſent into mynyſterie for hem þat taken þe heritage of heelþe?
