Hebrews — Chapter 2
These annotations are from the original 1582 Rheims New Testament, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Rheims. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 1
μὴ ποτε παϱαῤῥυωμεν As that which runneth out of a broken vessel, or that runneth by, is lost.
Verse 6
What is man,that thou art mindful of him ? or the fonne of man, thar thou vifireft him?
Verse 9
This proueth against the Caluinists that Christ by his Passion merited his owne glorification: which they would not for shame deny of Christ, but that they are at a point to deny al meritorious workes, yea euen in Christ also. And therfore they translate also this sentence heretically, by transposing the words. In the Bible printed the yeare 1579.
Verse 16
The dignitie of man, in that Christ tooke our nature vnto his Person in Deitie, and not the nature of Angels.
