For this ought we to hold above measure to the things heard, lest we slip away. For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and bad instruction received the just payment of reward; How shall we escape, having neglected such great salvation; which at the beginning taken to be spoken by the Lord, by them having heard was made firm to us;
