Matthew(i)
7 when I went thorow the cytye vnto the gate, and when they set me a chaire in the strete:
8 when the younge men (as sone as they sawe me) hid them selues, and when the aged arose, and stode vp vnto me:
9 when the Princes lefte of their talkinge, & layed their hande to their mouthe:
10 when the mighty kepte styll their voice, and when their tonges cleaued to the rofe of their mouthes.
11 When al they that hearde me, called me happie: & when all they that sawe me, wyshed me good.
12 For I delyuered the poore when he cried, and the fatherlesse that wanted helpe.
13 He that shoulde haue bene lost, gaue me a good worde, and the wyddowes herte praysed me.
14 And why? I put vpon me ryghteousnes, whyche couered me as a garment, and equyte was my croune.
15 I was an eye vnto the blinde, and a fote to the lame,
16 I was a father vnto the poore and when I knew not their cause, I sought it oute diligently.
17 I brake the chaftes of the vnrighteous, and plucte the spoyle oute of their tethe.
