⁴ Come to Bethel, and transgresse: to Gilgal, and multiplie transgression: and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tythes after three yeres ⁵ And offer a thankes geuing of leauen, publishe & proclayme the free offringes: for this liketh you O ye children of Israel, sayth the Lorde God

⁸ They that holde vpon lying vanitie, forsake his mercie

¹ Now shalt thou be robbed thy selfe O thou robbers daughter: they shall laye siege against vs, & smyte the iudge of Israel with a rodde vpon the cheeke

⁷ Neuerthelesse, I wil looke vp vnto the Lorde, I will patiently abyde God my sauiour: my God shall heare me ⁸ O thou enemie of myne reioyce not at my fall, for I shall rise againe: & though I sit in darkenesse, yet the Lorde is my light ⁹ I will beare the wrath of the Lord, for I haue offended hym till he sit in iudgement vpon my cause, and see that I haue right: then will he bring me foorth to the light, and I shall see his righteousnesse

⁴ He rebuketh the sea and dryeth it vp, all the riuers also he maketh drye: Basan and Carmel are destroyed, the spring also of Libanon is destroyed

¹ And he shewed me Iosua the hie priest standing before the angell of the Lord, and Satan stoode at his right hande to resist him ² And the Lorde saide vnto Satan: The Lorde reproue thee thou Satan, yea the Lorde that hath chosen Hierusalem reproue thee: Is not this a brand taken out of the fire ³ Now Iosua was clothed in vncleane rayment, and stoode before the angel ⁴ And he aunswered & saide vnto those that stoode before him, Take away the foule clothes fro him. And vnto him he saide: Beholde, I haue taken away thy sinne from thee, and I wyll clothe thee with chaunge of rayment ⁵ And I saide, Let them set a fayre miter vpon his head: So they set a fayre miter vpon his head, & put on clothes vpon him, and the angell of the Lorde stoode there ⁶ Then the angell of the Lorde testified vnto Iosua, and spake ⁷ Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes: If thou wylt walke in my wayes, & keepe my watch, thou shalt iudge my house, & kepe my courtes, and I wyll geue thee place among these that stande here ⁸ Heare O Iosua thou hie priest, thou & thy felowes that sit before thee, for they are monstruous persons: behold, I wyl bring foorth the braunche my seruaunt ⁹ For lo, the stone that I haue layde before Iosua, vpon one stone shalbe seuen eyes: beholde, I wyll cut out the grauing therof, saith the Lorde of hoastes, and I wyll take away the sinne of the lande in one day ¹⁰ In that day shall euery man call his neighbour vnder the vine, and vnder the figtree, saith the Lorde of hoastes

¹⁶ Then they that feared God, saide euery one to his neighbour: and the Lorde considered and hearde, and there was written a booke of remebraunce before him for them that feared the Lorde, and for them that thinke vpon his name

²⁵ Agree with thyne aduersarie quicklye, whyles thou art in the waye with him: lest at any tyme the aduersarie deliuer thee to the iudge, and the iudge deliuer thee to the minister, and then thou be cast into pryson

³⁹ But, I say vnto you, that ye resist not euyll. But, whosoeuer geueth thee a blowe on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also

¹² But the chyldren of the kyngdome shalbe caste out, into vtter darcknesse: there shalbe wepyng, and gnashyng of teeth

²⁸ Come vnto me all ye that labour sore, and are laden, and I wyll ease you

⁵⁴ And when he came into his owne countrey, he taught them in their synagogues, in so much, that they were astonyed, and sayde: whence commeth this wysdome and powers vnto hym

⁶ And so shall he not honour his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made the commaundement of God, of none effect, by your tradition ⁷ Hypocrites, full well dyd Esayas prophecie of you, saying ⁸ This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lippes: howbeit, their hearts are farre from me

²⁵ But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his Lorde commaunded hym to be solde, and his wyfe, and chyldren, and all that he had, and payment to be made

¹³ Then sayde the kyng to the ministers: bynde hym hande and foote, and cast hym into vtter darknesse: there shalbe wepyng and gnasshyng of teeth

⁴⁶ And no man was able to aunswere hym a worde: neither durst any man (from that day foorth) aske hym any mo questions

¹³ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: ye neither go in your selues, neither suffer ye them that come, to enter in ¹⁴ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widdowes houses, and that vnder a pretence of long prayer: therfore ye shall receaue the greater dampnation ¹⁵ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and lande, to make one proselite: & when he is become one, ye make hym two folde more the chylde of hell, then ye your selues [are] ¹⁶ Wo be vnto you ye blynde guides: for ye say, whosoeuer doth sweare by the temple, it is nothyng: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is a detter ¹⁷ Ye fooles and blynde. For whether is greater, the golde, or the temple that sanctifieth the golde ¹⁸ And whosoeuer sweareth by the aulter, it is nothyng: but whosoeuer sweareth by the gyft that is vpon it, he is a detter ¹⁹ Ye fooles and blynde, for whether is greater, the gyft: or the aulter that sanctifieth the gyft ²⁰ Who so therfore sweareth by the aulter, sweareth by it, and by all thynges theron ²¹ And who so sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by hym that dwelleth therin ²² And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by hym that sitteth theron ²³ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye tythe mynt, and annise, and cummyn: and haue left the wayghtier matters of the lawe, iudgement, mercy, and fayth. These ought ye to haue done, and not to leaue the other vndone ²⁴ Ye blynde guides, which strayne out a gnat, and swalowe a Camel ²⁵ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter syde of the cup, & of the platter: but within they are full of brybery & excesse ²⁶ Thou blynde Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outsyde of them may be cleane also ²⁷ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites: for ye are lyke vnto paynted sepulchres, which in dede appeare beautifull outwarde, but are within full of dead [mens] bones, and of all fylthynes ²⁸ Euen so, ye also, outwardly appeare ryghteous vnto men: But within, ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie ²⁹ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites: ye builde the tombes of the Prophetes, and garnishe the sepulchres of the ryghteous ³⁰ And say, yf we had ben in the dayes of our fathers, we woulde not haue ben parteners with them in the blood of the prophetes ³¹ And so ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the chyldren of them which kylled the prophetes ³² Fulfyll ye lykewyse, the measure of your fathers ³³ Ye serpentes, ye generation of vipers, howe wyll ye escape the dampnation of hell ³⁴ Wherfore, beholde I sende vnto you prophetes, and wyse men, and Scribes, and [some] of them ye shall kyll and crucifie: and [some] of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from citie to citie ³⁵ That vpon you may come all the ryghteous blood, which hath ben shed vpon the earth, from the blood of ryghteous Abel, vnto the blood of Zacharias, sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the temple & the aulter ³⁶ Ueryly I say vnto you: all these thynges shal come vpon this generatio

³⁹ And he went a litle farther, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, saying: O my father, if it be possible, let this cuppe passe from me: Neuerthelesse, not as I wyll, but as thou wylt

⁶⁷ Then dyd they spyt in his face, and buffeted hym with fistes. And other smote hym on his face with the paulme of their handes

²⁶ Then let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered hym to be crucified

³⁰ And when they had spyt vpon hym, they toke the reede, and smote hym on the head

⁴⁵ Fro the sixth houre, was there darknesse ouer all the lande, vnto the nynth houre

³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wynde, and saide vnto the sea, peace and be styll. And the wynde ceassed, & there folowed a great calme

⁴ And they sayde: Moyses suffred to write a booke of diuorcement, and to put her away ⁵ And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto the: For the hardnesse of your heart, he wrote this precept vnto you ⁶ But from the begynnyng of the creation, God made them male & female ⁷ [And sayde] for this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and byde by his wyfe ⁸ And they twayne shalbe one fleshe. So then are they no more twayne, but one fleshe ⁹ Therfore, what God hath coupled together, let not man seperate ¹⁰ And in the house, his disciples asked hym agayne, of the same matter ¹¹ And he sayth vnto them: Whosoeuer putteth away his wyfe, & maryeth another, committeth adulterie agaynst her ¹² And yf a woman put away her husbande, and be maryed to another, she committeth adulterie

⁶⁵ And some began to spyt at hym, and to couer his face, and to beate hym with fistes, and to say vnto hym, prophecie. And the seruauntes dyd beate hym with roddes

¹⁹ And they smote hym on the head with a reede, & did spit vpon him, and bowed their knees, and worshipped hym

²² And all bare him witnesse, & wondred at ye gratious wordes whiche proceaded out of his mouth. And they sayde, is not this Iosephes sonne

⁵¹ And it came to passe, when the tyme was come that he shoulde be receaued vp, he set his face to go to Hierusalem

³⁹ And the Lorde said vnto him: Now do ye pharisees make cleane the outsyde of the cuppe, and the platter, but the inward part is full of your rauenyng and wickednesse ⁴⁰ Ye fooles, dyd not he that made that whiche is without, make that which is within also ⁴¹ But rather geue almes of those thynges which are within, and beholde all thynges are cleane vnto you ⁴² But wo vnto you pharisees: for ye tithe mint & rue, and al maner hearbes, and passe ouer iudgement, and the loue of God: These ought ye to haue done, and yet not to leaue the other vndone ⁴³ Wo vnto you pharisees: for ye loue the vppermost seates in ye synagogues, and greetynges in the markettes ⁴⁴ Wo vnto you scribes and pharisees, ye hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, are not ware of them ⁴⁵ Then aunswered one of the lawyers, and sayde vnto him: Maister, thus saying, thou puttest vs to rebuke also ⁴⁶ And he sayde, Wo vnto you also ye lawyers: for ye lade me with burthens greeuous to be borne, and ye your selues touche not ye burthens with one of your fyngers ⁴⁷ Wo vnto you, ye buylde the sepulchres of the prophetes, and your fathers kylled them ⁴⁸ Truely, ye beare witnesse that ye alowe the deedes of your fathers: for they kylled them, and ye buylde their sepulchres ⁴⁹ Therfore saide the wisedome of God, I wyl sende them prophetes and apostles, and some of them they shall slaye and persecute ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophetes, which is shedde, from the foundation of the worlde, may be required of this generation ⁵¹ From the blood of Abel, vnto ye blood of Zacharie, whiche perished betwene the aulter & the temple: Ueryly I saye vnto you, it shalbe required of this nation ⁵² Wo vnto you lawyers: for ye haue taken away the keye of knowledge, ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbad ⁵³ When he thus spake vnto them, the lawyers & the pharisees began to vrge hym vehemently, and to prouoke hym to speake many thynges ⁵⁴ Laying wayte for hym, and sekyng to catche somethyng out of his mouth, wherby they myght accuse hym

¹⁵ For I wyll geue you a mouth, and wysedome, where agaynst, all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake nor resist

⁶³ And the men that helde Iesus, mocked hym, and smote hym ⁶⁴ And when they had blindfolded him, they stroke hym on the face, and asked him, saying: Arede, who is it that smote thee

¹¹ He came among his owne, and his owne receaued hym not

¹⁹ And this is the condempnation: that lyght is come into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then lyght, because their deedes were euyll

¹⁵ And the Iewes marueyled, saying: howe knoweth he the scriptures, seyng that he neuer learned ¹⁶ Iesus aunswered them, & sayde: My doctrine is not myne, but his yt sent me ¹⁷ Yf any man wyll do his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe

⁴⁶ The seruauntes aunswered: Neuer man spake as this man doeth

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, saying, I am the light of ye world: He that foloweth me, doth not walke in darknesse, but shal haue the light of life

²⁴ I sayde therefore vnto you, that you shall dye in your sinnes. For yf ye beleue not that I am he, ye shall dye in your sinnes

²⁹ And he that sent me, is with me. The father hath not left me alone: For I do alwayes those thynges that please him

³⁹ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde, that they which see not, myght see: and that they which see, myght be made blynde

⁴⁶ I am come a lyght into ye worlde, that whosoeuer beleueth on me, should not byde in darknesse

³¹ But that the worlde may knowe that I loue the father: And as the father gaue me commaundement, euen so do I. Ryse, let vs go hence

¹⁰ Yf ye kepe my commaundementes, ye shall abyde in my loue, euen as I haue kept my fathers commaundementes, and abyde in his loue

³³ These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myght haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulation: but be of good cheare, I haue ouercome the worlde

²² When he had thus spoken, one of the officers whiche stoode by, smote Iesus [with a rod] saying: Aunswerest thou the hye priest so

¹⁹ Wherfore, O kyng Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly visio

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ, because it is the power of God vnto saluation to all that beleue, to the Iewe first, and also to the Greke

²¹ Because that when they knewe God, they glorified hym not as God, neither were thankefull, but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations, and their foolishe heart was blynded ²² When they counted them selues wyse, they became fooles

³² Which spared not his owne sonne, but gaue hym for vs all: Howe shall he not with hym also geue vs all thynges ³³ Who shall lay any thyng to the charge of Gods chosen? It is God that iustifieth ³⁴ Who is he that can condempne? It is Christe which dyed, yea rather which is raysed agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercession for vs

³ For they beyng ignoraunt of Gods ryghteousnesse, and goyng about to stablyshe their owne righteousnesse, haue not ben obedient vnto the ryghteousness of God

⁸ For we woulde not brethren haue you ignoraunt of our trouble, whiche came vnto vs in Asia: For we were greeued out of measure, passyng strength, so greatly, that we dispayred euen of lyfe ⁹ Yea, we receaued the sentence of death in our selues, that we should not put our trust in our selues, but in God, whiche rayseth the dead ¹⁰ Who delyuered vs from so great a death, and doth deliuer: On whom we trust that yet hereafter he wyll deliuer

⁸ He humbled hym selfe, made obedient vnto death, euen the death of the crosse

⁸ In flamyng fire, rendryng vengeance vnto them that knowe not God, and that obey not the Gospell of our Lorde Iesus Christe ⁹ Which shalbe punisshed with euerlastyng dampnation, from the presence of the Lorde, & fro the glorie of his power

¹⁶ And without doubt, great is that misterie of godlynesse: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustified in the spirite, was seene among the angels, was preached vnto the gentiles, was beleued on in the worlde, and was receaued vp in glorie

¹¹ They shall perishe, but thou endurest, and they shall waxe olde as doth a garment ¹² And as a vesture shalt thou folde the vp, and they shalbe chaunged: but thou art the same, & thy yeres shall not fayle

⁸ Though he were the sonne, yet learned he obediece, by these thinges which he suffred ⁹ And being perfect, was made the aucthour of eternall saluation vnto al them that obey hym

⁵ Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde, he saith: Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not haue, but a body hast thou ordeyned me ⁶ In burnt sacrifices & sinne (offerynges) thou hast had no pleasure ⁷ Then sayde I, lo I come (In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me) to do thy wyll O God ⁸ Aboue when he saith, that sacrifice, and offeryng, and burnt offeringes, and sinne [offerynges] thou wouldest not, neither haddest pleasure [therein] (which are offered by the lawe: ⁹ Then sayde he, lo I come, to do thy wyll, O God. He taketh away ye first to stablyshe the seconde

² Lokyng vnto Iesus, the captayne and finissher of our fayth, which for the ioy that was set before hym, endured the crosse, hauyng dispised the shame, and is set downe on the ryght hande of the throne of God

⁶ So that we may boldely saye, the Lorde is my helper, and I wyll not feare what man way do vnto me

⁶ And the tongue is fyre, euen a worlde of wickednesse. So is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fyre the course of nature, & it is set on fyre of hell

¹ For as muche then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the fleshe, arme ye your selues lykewise with the same mynde: for he which suffereth in the fleshe, ceasseth from sinne

¹⁶ Yf any [man suffer] as a Christian man, let hym not be ashamed, but let him glorifie God on this behalfe

⁷ Cast all your care vpon hym, for he careth for you

¹² And I behelde when he had opened the sixt seale, and loe there was a great earthquake, & the sunne was as blacke as sackcloth made of heere, & the moone waxed all euen as blood

¹⁰ And I hearde a loude voyce saying in heauen: Nowe is made saluation, & strength, & the kingdome of our God, & the power of his Christ: For the accuser of our brethren is cast downe, which accused them before our God day & nyght

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with hym that false prophete that wrought miracles before hym, with which he deceaued them that receaued the beastes marke, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast quicke into a ponde of fire, burnyng with brymstone

¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde written in the booke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fire
