NOw faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen For by it the elders obtained a good report Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice then Cain by which he obtained witness that he was righteous God testifying of his gifts and by it he being dead yet speaketh By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death and was not found because God had translated him for before his translation he had this testimony that he pleased God But without faith it is impossible to please him for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek him By faith Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet moved with fear prepared an ark to the saving of his house by the which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith By faith Abraham when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance obeyed and he went out not knowing whither he went By faith he sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange countrey dwelling in tabernacles with Isaat and Iacob the heirs with him of the same promise For he looked for a city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God Through faith also Sara her self received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age because she judged him faithful who had promised Therefore sprang there even of one and him as good as dead so many as the stars of the sky in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable These all died in faith not having received the promises but having seen them afar off and were perswaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a countrey And truly if they had been mindful of that countrey from whence they came out they might have had opportunity to have returned But now they desire a better countrey that is an heavenly wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God for he hath prepared for them a city By faith Abraham when he was tried offered up Isaat and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son Of whom it was said that in Isaat shall thy seed be called Accounting that God was able to raise him up even from the dead from whence also he received him in a figure By faith Isaat blessed Iacob and Esau concerning things to come By faith Iacob when he was a dying blessed both the sons of Ioseph and worshipped leaning upon the top of his staff By faith Ioseph when he died made mention of the departing of the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones By faith Moses when he was born was hid three moneths of his parents because they saw he was a proper child and they not afraid of the kings commandment By faith Moses when he was come to years refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter Chusing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God then to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches then the treasures in Egypt for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward By faith he forsook Egypt not fearing the wrath of the king for he endured as seeing him who is invisible Through faith he kept the passeover and the sprinkling of blood lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them By faith they passed thorow the Red-sea as by dry land which the Egptians assaying to do were drowned By faith the walls of Iericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not when she had received the spies with peace And what shall I more say for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon and of Barak and of Samson and of Iephtha of David also and Samuel and of the prophets Who through faith subdued kingdoms wrought righteousness obtained promises stopped the mouths of lions Quenched the violence of fire escaped the edge of the sword out of weakness were made strong waxed valiant in fight turned to flight the armies of the aliens Women received their dead raised to life again and others were tortured not accepting deliverance that they might obtain a better resurrection And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings yea moreover of bonds and imprisonment They were stoned they were sawen asunder were tempted were stain with the sword they wandered about in shéep-skins and goat-skins being destitute afflicted tormented Of whom the world was not worthy they wandred in deserts and in mountains and in dens and caves of the earth And these all having obtained a good report through faith received not the promise God having provided some better thing for us that they without us should not be made perfect Deus misereatur Psal 67. GOd be merciful unto us and bless us and shew us the light of his countenance and be merciful unto us That thy way may be known upon earth thy saving health among all nations Let the people praise thee O God yea let all the people praise thee O let the nations rejoyce and be glad for thou shalt judge the folk righteously and govern the nations upon earth Let the people praise thée O God let all the people praise thée Then shall the earth bring forth her increase and God even our own God shall give us his blessing God shall bless us and all the ends of the world shall fear him Glory be to the Father c.
