32 And what shall I more saye: for the tyme wyll be to short for me to tell of Gedon, of Barach, & of Sampson, & of Iephthae, of Dauid also & Samuel, & of the Prophetes:
33 Which thorow faith subdued kingdomes wrought righteousnes: obteyned the promyses: stopped the mouthes of lyons:
34 quenched that violence of fyre: escaped the edge of the swearde: out of weaknesse, were made stronge: waxed valient in fyght: turned to flight the armyes of the alientes
35 the wemen receaued theyr deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked, & wolde not be delyuered, that they myght inheret a better resurrection.
36 Agayne, other were tried wt mockynges & scourginges moreouer, wt bondes & presonment:
37 were stoned, were hewen asunder, were tempted, were slayne wt swearde, walked vp & downe in shepe skynnes, and goates skynnes, being destitute, troubled & vexed:
38 which men that worlde was not worthy of: they wandred in wildernesses: & in mountaynes, and in dennes, and caues of erth.
39 And these all thorow faith obtained good reporte, & receaued not the promes,
40 because God had prouided a better thing for vs, that they wt out vs shuld not be made parfecte.
12 1 Wherfore, let vs also (seyng that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses) laye awaye all that presseth doune, and the synne that hangeth so fast on, let vs runne with pacience vnto the battayle that is set before vs,
2 lookyng vnto Iesus the captayne & finissher of our fayth, which (for the ioye that was set before him) abode the crosse, & despised the shame, & is set downe on the ryghte hande of the throne of God.
