Hebrews 4

^{1 !} The worde without faith is vnprofitable.

^{2 a} He compareth the preaching of the Gospel, as it were, to wine, whereof if we wil taste, that is, heare & vnderstand with profite, we must temper or mixe it with faith.

^{3 c} The perfection of Gods workes, and so his rest, signifie our heauenlie rest.

^{3 !} The Sabbath rest of the Christians.

^{3 b} Althogh that God by his rest, after the creation of his workes, signifed the spiritual rest of the faithful, yet he sware to giue rest in Chanaan which was but a figure of the heauenlie rest, and dured but for a time.

^{6 !} Punishment of vnbelieuers.

^{7 d} That is, in the psalmes.

^{8 e} Meaning Joshua.

^{10 f} Hathe cast of his appetites, mortified his flesh, renounced him self, and followeth God.

^{12 g} For it mortally woundeth the rebellious, and in the elect it killeth the olde man that they shulde liue vnto God.

^{12 h} Where the affections are.

^{12 i} Which conteineth wil & reason.

^{12 !} The nature of the worde of God.

^{13 k} As that thing which is cleaft a sunder euen through the middes of the backe, and so is made open that it may be sene throughtout.

^{13 /} Or, concerning whome we speake.

^{13 l} Therefore when we heare his worde, we must tremble, knowing thereby that God soundeth our hearts.
