The Supremacy of the Son
(Colossians 1:15–23)

1God in tyme past diversly and many wayes spake vnto the fathers by Prophetes: 2but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his sonne whom he hath made heyre of all thinges: by who also he made the worlde. 3Which sonne beynge the brightnes of his glory and very ymage of his substance bearinge vp all thinges with the worde of his power hath in his awne person pourged oure synnes and is sitten on the right honde of the maiestie an hye 4and is more excellent then the angels in as moche as he hath by inheritaunce obteyned an excellenter name then have they.

5For vnto which of the angels sayde he ateny tyme: Thou arte my sonne this daye be gate I the? And agayne: I will be his father and he shalbe my sonne.

6And agayne whe he bringeth in the fyrst begotten sonne in to the worlde he sayth: And all the angels of God shall worshippe him.

7And of the angels he sayth: He maketh his angels spretes and his ministres flammes of fyre.

8But vnto the sonne he sayth: God thy seate shalbe forever and ever. The cepter of thy kyngdome is a right cepter.

9Thou hast loved rightewesnes and hated iniquyte. Wherfore God which is thy God hath anoynted the with ye oyle of gladnes above thy felowes.

10And thou Lorde in the begynninge hast layde the foundacion of the erth. And the heves are the workes of thy hondes.

11They shall perisshe but thou shalt endure. They all shall wexe olde as doth a garment:

12and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them and they shalbe chaunged. But thou arte all wayes and thy yeres shall not fayle.

13Vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme? Sit on my ryght honde tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

14Are they not all mynistrynge spretes sent to minister for their sakes which shalbe heyres of salvacion?
