THE SUM OF THE Epistle to the Hebrews.
THE SVMME OF THE Epistle to the Hebrevves.
THE whole Epistle to the Hebrews containeth the sin of Apostasy, from which the Apostle laboureth to dehort them, and that by five reasons specially: First, in the first Chapter he shows that Christ is above all Angels, whereof he inferreth in the second Chapter, That if God did punish the contempt of the ministry of Angels, much more is the contempt of the ministry of Christ punishable, because he so far exceedeth the Angels. In the third Chapter he shows that Christ is above Moses, whereof he infers in the fourth Chapter, That if Moses ministry contemned caused revenge, much more Christ his ministry contemned causeth revenge, because it is far greater than Moses. In the fifth Chapter he shows, That Christ the sacrificer is greater than Aaron the Priest, whereof he inferreth in the sixth Chapter, That if God did correct the contempt of Aaron's sacrifice, much more will he condemn the contempt of Christ his oblation, because Christ is superior to Aaron. In the seventh, eight, and nine Chapters, That the ministry of the Gospel is better than the ministry of the law, whereof he inferreth in the tenth Chapter, That if they were punished that despised Moses law, much heavier is their judgement which despise Christ his Gospel, for that Christ is above Moses. In the eleventh Chapter he shows, How all the Fathers were justified in continuing in the faith, whereof he inferreth in the twelfth Chapter, That who so will be justified with them, must after their example continue in the faith. Lastly, he concludeth with wholesome exhortations fitly joining to his former doctrine, For because we may be Apostates in life as well as in neglect of doctrine in the thirteenth Chapter he addeth many good precepts of Purity, mer, sanctimony, prayer, thanksgiving, liberality, and obedience to their teachers And then falling as it were on their necks, he kisseth them, and commding himsel to their prayer, he commendeth them to the rich grace of Gd, […]nd samp of all his epistles.
