| 6:2 | and of leiynge on of hondis, and of risyng ayen of deed men, and of the euerlastinge doom. |
| 6:3 | And this thing we schulen do, if God schal suffre. |
| 6:4 | But it is impossible, that thei that ben onys liytned, and `han tastid also an heuenly yifte, and ben maad parceneris of the Hooli Goost, |
| 6:5 | and netheles han tastid the good word of God, and the vertues of the world to comynge, and ben slidun fer awei, |
| 6:6 | that thei be renewid eftsoone to penaunce. Whiche eftsones crucifien to hem silf the sone of God, and han to scorn. |
| 6:7 | For the erthe that drinkith reyn ofte comynge on it, and bringith forth couenable erbe to hem of whiche it is tilid, takith blessing of God. |
| 6:8 | But that that is bringinge forth thornes and breris, is repreuable, and next to curs, whos endyng schal be in to brennyng. |
| 6:9 | But, ye moost dereworthe, we tristen of you betere thingis, and neer to helthe, thouy we speken so. |
| 6:10 | For God is not vniust, that he foryete youre werk and loue, whiche ye han schewid in his name; for ye han mynystrid to seyntis, `and mynistren. |
| 6:11 | And we coueiten that ech of you schewe the same bisynesse to the fillyng of hope in to the ende; |
| 6:12 | that ye be not maad slowe, but also sueris of hem, whiche bi feith and pacience schulen enherite the biheestis. |
| 6:13 | For God bihetinge to Abraham, for he hadde noon grettere, bi whom he schulde swere, swoor bi hym silf, |
| 6:14 | and seide, Y blessinge schal blesse thee, and Y multipliynge schal multiplie thee; |
| 6:15 | and so he long abidinge hadde the biheeste. |
| 6:16 | For men sweren bi a grettere than hem silf, and the ende of al her ple is an ooth to confirmacioun. |
| 6:17 | In which thing God willynge to schewe plenteuouslier to the eiris of his biheest the sadnesse of his counsel, |
| 6:18 | puttide bitwixe an ooth, that bi twey thingis vnmeuable, bi whiche it is impossible that God lie, we han a strengeste solace, `we that fleen togidere to holde the hope that is put forth to vs. |
| 6:19 | Which hope as an ankir we han sikir to the soule, and sad, and goynge in to the ynnere thingis of hiding; |
| 6:20 | where the bifore goere, Jhesus, that is maad bischop with outen ende bi the ordre of Melchisedech, entride for vs. |
| 6:1 | Wherfore let vs leave ye doctryne pertayninge to the beginninge of a Christen man and let vs go vnto perfeccio and now no more laye the foundacio of repentaunce from deed workes and of fayth towarde God |
| 6:2 | of baptyme of doctryne and of layinge on of hondes and of resurreccion from deeth and of eternall iudgemet. |
| 6:3 | And so will we do yf God permitte. |
| 6:4 | For it is not possible yt they which were once lyghted and have tasted of the hevenly gyft and were become partetakers of the holy goost |
| 6:5 | and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: |
| 6:6 | yf they faule shuld be renued agayne vnto repentaunce: for as moche as they have (as concerninge them selves) crucified the sonne of God a fresshe makynge a mocke of him. |
| 6:7 | For that erth which drinketh in the rayne wich cometh ofte vpon it and bringeth forth erbes mete for them that dresse it receaveth blessynge of god. |
| 6:8 | But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned. |
| 6:9 | Neverthelesse deare frendes we trust to se better of you and thynges which accompany saluacion though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For god is not vnrighteous that he shuld forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of love which love shewed in his name which have ministred vnto the saynctes and yet minister |
| 6:11 | Yee and we desyre that every one of you shew the same diligence to the stablysshynge of hope even vnto the ende: |
| 6:12 | that ye faynt not but folowe them which thorow fayth and pacience inheret the promyses. |
| 6:13 | For when god made promes to Abraham because he had no greater thinge to sweare by he sware by him silfe |
| 6:14 | sayinge: Surely I will blesse the and multiply the in dede. |
| 6:15 | And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes. |
| 6:16 | Men verely sweare by him that is greater then them selves and an othe to confyrme the thynge ys amonge them an ende of all stryfe. |
| 6:17 | So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe |
| 6:18 | that by two immutable thinges (in which it was vnpossible that god shuld lye) we myght have parfect consolacion which have fled for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs |
| 6:19 | which hope we have as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast. Which hope also entreth in into tho thynges which are with in the vayle |
| 6:20 | whither ye fore runner is for vs entred in I mea Iesus that is made an hye prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. |
| 6:1 | Wherfore let vs leaue the doctryne pertaynynge to the begynnynge of a Christen life, and let vs go vnto perfeccion: and now nomore laye ye foundacion of repetaunce from deed workes, and of faith towarde God, |
| 6:2 | of baptyme, of doctryne, of layenge on of hades, of resurreccion of the deed, & of eternall iudgment. |
| 6:3 | And so wil we do yf God permytte. |
| 6:4 | For it is not possible, that they which were once lighted, and haue taisted of the heauely gyfte, and are become partakers of the holy goost, |
| 6:5 | & haue taisted of ye good worde of God, and of the power of the worlde to come, |
| 6:6 | yf they fall awaye (and concernynge them selues crucifye the sonne of God afresshe, and make a mocke off him) that they shulde be renued agayne vnto repentaunce. |
| 6:7 | For the earth, that drynketh in the rayne, which commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth forth herbes mete for them that dresse it, receaueth blessynge of God: |
| 6:8 | But yt grounde which beareth thornes and thistles, is nothinge worth, and nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be brent. |
| 6:9 | Neuertheles (ye dearly beloued) we trust to se better of you, and yt saluacio is nyer, though we thus speake. |
| 6:10 | For God is not vnrighteous, that he shulde forget youre worke and laboure of loue, which ye shewed in his name, whan ye mynistred vnto the sayntes, and yet mynister. |
| 6:11 | Yee and we desyre, that euery one of you shewe the same diligence, to the stablyshinge of hope euen vnto the ende, |
| 6:12 | that ye faynte not, but folowe them which thorow faith and paciece inheret the promyses. |
| 6:13 | For whan God made promes to Abraham, because he had none greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe, |
| 6:14 | and sayde: Surely I wil blesse the and multiplye ye in dede. |
| 6:15 | And so he abode pacietly, and optayned the promes. |
| 6:16 | As for men, they sweare by him that is greater then them selues: and the ooth is the ende of all stryfe to confirme the thinge amoge them. |
| 6:17 | But God, wyllinge very abundauntly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his councell, added an ooth |
| 6:18 | yt by two immutable thinges (in the which it is vnpossible yt God shulde lye) we mighte haue a stronge consolacion: euen we, which are fled to holde fast the hope that is set before vs, |
| 6:19 | which (hope) we haue as a sure and stedfast anker of oure soule. Which (hope) also entreth in, in to those thinges that are within ye vayle, |
| 6:20 | whither the foreruner is for vs entred in, eue Iesus, which is made an hye prest for euer after ye order of Melchisedech. |
