Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis: novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula: qui cum sit splendor gloriæ, et figura substantiæ ejus, portansque omnia verbo virtutis suæ, purgationem peccatorum faciens, sedet ad dexteram majestatis in excelsis: tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit. Cui enim dixit aliquando angelorum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te? Et rursum: Ego ero illi in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium? Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei. Et ad angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis. Ad Filium autem: Thronus tuus Deus in sæculum sæculi: virga æquitatis, virga regni tui. Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis. Et: Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli. Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent: et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient. Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum? Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis?
