So might it be answered to the Hebrews, of whom we now entreat: what though ye have not seen the miracles which were done in the time of your Fathers? Have not Moses and Joshua faithfully written all those things which God hath done for your nations sake? Yea, and your Fathers which were present and saw them, have truly declared them unto you, when ye were yet little ones. The scripture therefore doth not so speak at this present, to excuse that new generation. But to declare what pretence they made, when they departed from the worshipping of the God of their Fathers, and what occasion they took, and also to set forth that they were of a corrupt and naughty nature, which when their good Masters and Magistrates were dead, became unmindful of all true godliness. For it is very likely, that they as they were impudent so also openly they boasted abroad those or such like words. We are in doubt neither do we easily believe that the Lord did so many miracles as our Fathers have both written and also showed us. Who can tell whether they were so or no? we undoubtedly know not whether the Lord or any other God hath for our salvation sake caused such or so great things to be done. And so they leaving faith and forsaking the true God did evil in the sight of the Lord. 1By this hebrew phrase it is declared that God was marvellously offended with this their transgression. As contrariwise they are called good things in the sight of the Lord which do exceedingly please him. This is the common and received exposition.
So might it be aunswered to the Hebrewes, of whom we nowe entreate: what though ye haue not sene the miracles which wer done in the time of your Fathers? Haue not Moyses and Iosua faithfullye written all those thinges whych God hath done for your nations sake? Yea, and your Fathers which were present and saw them, haue trulye declared them vnto you, when ye were yet lytle ones. The scripture therfore doth not so speake at this presēt, to excuse that new generation. But to declare what pretence they made, when they departed from the woorshipping of the God of their Fathers, and what occasion they tooke, and also to set foorth that they were of a corrupt and naughtye nature, which when their good Maisters and Magistrates were dead, became vnmindfull of all true godlynes. For it is very likely, that they as they were impudent so also openly they boasted abroade those or such lyke woordes. We ar in doubt neither do we easely beleue that the Lord did so many miracles as our Fathers haue both written and also shewed vs. Who can tell whether they were so or no? we vndoubtedlye know not whether the Lorde or anye other God hath for our saluation sake caused such or so great thinges to be done. And so they leauing faith and forsaking the true God dyd euyll in the syght of the Lorde.
