Paul an Apostle c. he gives this reason of it For saith he writing unto the Hebrews because of the ill opinion they had conceived of him he very wisely concealed his name left upon the sight thereof they should be dismayed and refuse to read the Epistle And also even as Macarius the Elder said for as much as the Lord himself was the Messenger of the Almighty and sent unto the Hebrews Paul for modesties sake or out of his humility being the Apostle of the Gentiles wrote not himself the Apostle of the Hebrews partly for the honour due to Christ and partly also for that he being the Apostle of the Gentiles did freely and boldly write unto the Hebrews 12.
