God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,
hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in {Greek: a Son.}his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the {Greek: ages. Compare 1 Timothy 1:17}worlds;
who being the effulgence of his glory, and {Or, the impress of his substance}the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

For unto which of the angels said he at any time,
{Psalm 2:7}Thou art my Son,
This day have I begotten thee?

And he shall be to me a Son?

And of the angels he saith,
{Psalm 104:4}Who maketh his angels winds,
And his ministers a flame of fire:
but of the Son he saith,
{Psalm 14:6 f} { Or, Thy throne is God for &c.}Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever;
And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of {The two oldest Greek manuscripts read his.}thy kingdom.
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;
Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
And,
{Psalm 102:25 ff.}Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of thy hands:
They shall perish; but thou continuest:
And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up,
As a garment, and they shall be changed:
But thou art the same,
And thy years shall not fail.
But of which of the angels hath he said at any time,
{Psalm 110:1}Sit thou on my right hand,
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
