V. 25.— See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, how much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven. Him that speaketh— Chap. 1:2.— Him that spake on earth. How vain to expect to escape from mount Sinai. At Sinai the worldly kingdom was established, the rewards and punishments of which were all temporal; now he speaketh from heaven in a far more excellent way,— better promises.
