Epistle to the Hebrews

The Epistle to the Hebrews is a biblical text that serves as a theological letter. It is believed to have been written to encourage and strengthen the faith of a Jewish Christian community facing persecution. The letter emphasizes the superiority of Jesus Christ over the Levitical priesthood and the Mosaic law, arguing that Jesus is the ultimate high priest and mediator between God and humanity.

“Daughter to that good Earl, once President Of England's Council, and her Treasury, Who lived in both, unstained with gold or fee, And left them both, more in himself content, Till sad the breaking of that Parliament Broke him, as that dishonest victory At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty, Killed with report that old man eloquent. Though later born than to have known the days Wherein your father flourished, yet by you, Madam, methinks I see him living yet; So well your words his noble virtues praise, That all both judge you to relate them true, And to possess them, honoured Margaret.”
