Hebrews 11:13-27

Matthew(i) 13 And they all dyed in fayth, and receyued not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of, & beleued them; and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pylgrems on the earthe. 14 They that saye suche thynges, declare that they seke a countreye. 15 Also yf they had bene myndefull of that countreye from whence they came oute, they had leasure to haue returned agayne. 16 But nowe they desyre a better, that is to saye an heauenlye. Wherfor God is not ashamed of them euen to be called theyr God: for he hath prepared for them a cytye. 17 In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered hym beynge hys onelye begotten sonne, whiche had receyued the promyses, 18 of whom it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy sede be called, 19 for he considered that God was able to rayse it vp agayne from death. Wherfore receyued he hym, for an ensample. 20 In faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau concernynge thynges to come. 21 By fayth Iacob when he was a diynge, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, and bowed hym self towarde the top of hys cepter. 22 By fayth Ioseph when he dyed, remembred the departynge of the chyldren of Israel, and gaue commaundemente of hys bones. 23 By faith Moses when he was borne, was hyd thre monethes of hys father and mother, because they sawe he was a proper chyld, neyther feared they the kynges commaundement. 24 By fayth Moyses when he was great, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughter, 25 and those rather to suffer aduersitie wyth the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of synne for a season, 26 and estemed the rebuke of Christe greater ryches then the treasure of Egypte. For he had respect vnto the reward. 27 By fayth he forsoke Egypte, and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured euen as he had sene hym whiche is inuysyble.
