Matthew(i)
5 the prayse of the vngodlye hath bene shorte, and that the ioye of ypocrites continued but the twyncklyng of an eye?
6 Though he be magnifyed vp to the heauen, so that his heade reacheth vnto the cloudes:
7 yet he perisheth at the laste lyke dounge: In so moche that they which haue sene hym, saye: Where is he?
8 He vanysheth as a dreame, so that he can no more be founde, & passeth awaye as a visyon in the nyght.
9 So that the eye whiche sawe him before, getteth nowe no syght of hym, and his place knoweth hym no more.
10 His chyldren go a begynge, theyr handes bringe them to sorow and heuynesse.
11 From his youth his bones are full of vyce, which shall lye downe wyth hym in the earth.
12 When wyckednesse is swete in his mouth, he hydeth it vnder his tonge.
13 That he fauoureth, that wyll he not forsake, but kepeth it close in his throte.
14 The meate that he eateth, shalbe turned to the poyson of serpentes, with in his body.
15 The ryches that he deuoureth, shall he perbreake agayne, for God shal draw them out of his bely
16 he shal sucke the serpentes head, & the adders tonge shal slaye hym:
