⁹ Whosoeuer transgresseth, and bideth not in the doctrine of Christe, hath not God: He that endureth in the doctrine of Christe, hath both the father and the sonne

³⁰ The fruite of the ryghteous is a tree of life: and he that winneth mens soules is wise

⁸ They eate vp the sinnes of my people, and encourage them in their wickednesse

⁶ He tolde also this similitude. A certaine man had a figge tree planted in his vineyarde, and he came, and sought fruite theron, and founde none

¹⁹ Then aunswered Iesus, & sayde vnto them: Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, the sonne can do nothyng of hym selfe, but that he seeth ye father do: For whatsoeuer he doeth, that doeth the sonne also

²⁴ Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you, except the wheate corne fall into the grounde, and dye, it abideth alone: If it dye, it bryngeth foorth much fruite

¹² Neither is there saluation in any other. For among men vnder heauen, there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued

²² But nowe ye beyng made free from sinne, and made the seruauntes of God, haue your fruite vnto holynesse, and the ende euerlastyng lyfe

⁵ So, we beyng many, are one body in Christe, and euery one members one of another

¹⁶ The cuppe of blessyng which we blesse, is it not ye partakyng of the blood of Christe? The bread which we breake, is it not the partakyng of the body of Christe

¹² For as the body is one, & hath many members, and all the members of one body, though they be many, [yet] are [but] one body: euen so is Christe

²⁷ Ye are the body of Christe, and members one of another

¹⁰ He that ministreth seede vnto ye sower, ministreth bread also for foode, and multiplieth your seede, and encreaseth the fruites of your ryghteousnesse

⁸ For we can do nothyng agaynst the trueth: but for the trueth

⁹ For the fruite of the spirite (is) in all goodnesse, and righteousnesse, & trueth

⁴ To whom ye come, as vnto a lyuyng stone, disalowed of men, but chosen of God and precious

² Grace and peace be multiplied vnto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Iesus our Lorde ³ Accordyng as his godly power hath geuen vnto vs all thynges that parteine vnto lyfe and godlynesse, through the knowledge of hym that hath called vs vnto glorie and vertue ⁴ By the which are geuen vnto vs excellent and most great promises, that by the meanes thereof, ye might be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flee the corruption of worldly lust ⁵ And herevnto geue all diligence: in your fayth minister vertue, in vertue knowledge ⁶ In knowledge temperaunce, in temperaunce pacience, in pacience godlynesse ⁷ In godlynesse brotherly kyndnesse, in brotherly kyndnesse loue ⁸ For yf these thynges be among you, and be plenteous, they wyll make you that ye neither shalbe idle nor vnfruitefull in the knowledge of our Lorde Iesus Christe ⁹ But he that lacketh these thynges, is blynde, and can not see farre of, & hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes ¹⁰ Wherfore brethren, geue the more diligence for to make your callyng and election sure: For yf ye do such thynges, ye shall neuer fall ¹¹ Yea, and by this meanes an entryng in shalbe ministred vnto you aboudantlye, into the euerlastyng kyngdome of our Lorde and sauiour Iesus Christe ¹² Wherfore I wyll not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembraunce of suche thynges, though ye knowe them your selues, and be stablysshed in the present trueth ¹³ Notwithstandyng I thynke it meete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by puttyng you in remembraunce ¹⁴ Forasmuch as I am sure that shortly I must put of this my tabernacle, euen as our Lorde Iesus Christe shewed me ¹⁵ I wyll euer also geue my diligence yt ye may haue wherwith to stirre vp the remembraunce of these thynges after my departyng ¹⁶ For we haue not folowed deceitfull fables, when we opened vnto you the power and commyng of our Lorde Iesus Christe, but with our eyes we sawe his maiestie ¹⁷ Euen then veryly when he receaued of God the father honour and glorie, & when there came suche a voyce to hym from the excellent glorie: This is my deare beloued sonne in whom I delyte ¹⁸ This voyce we heard come from heauen, when we were with him in the holye mount

¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lorde and sauiour Iesus Christe, to whom be glorie both nowe and for euer. Amen

³⁰ He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse, the flame shal drye vp his branches, with the blast of ye mouth [of God] shall he be taken away

¹⁵ (80:14b) and vineyarde that thy ryght hande hath planted, and the young braunche which thou hast fortified for thy selfe

¹⁹ And thou art cast out of thy graue like a fylthy abhominable braunche, like as dead mens rayment that are shot thorowe with the sworde, and go downe to the stones of the deepe, as a dead coarse that is troden vnder feete

¹⁰ Els shall the strong citie be desolate, and the habitation forsaken and left like a wildernesse: there shall the Calfe feede, and there shall he lye, and eate vp the graffes therof

³ Do men take wood of it to make any worke withall? or wyll men take a pin of it to hang any vessell theron ⁴ Behold, it is cast in the fire to be brent, the fire consumeth both the endes of it, the middes of it is brent: is it meete then for any worke ⁵ Seeing then that it was meete for no worke beyng whole, muche lesse may there any thing be made of it when the fire hath consumed and brent it ⁶ And therefore thus saith the Lorde god, As the vine tree [that is] among the trees of the forest, which I haue geuen to the fire to be consumed: so wyll I geue the inhabitauntes of Hierusalem ⁷ And I wyll set my face against them, they shall go out from the fire, and yet the fire shall consume them: then shall ye knowe that I am the Lorde, when I set my face against them

⁹ Speake thou therfore, thus saith the Lorde God: Shall this vine prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes therof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to dry? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof

¹² But she was pluckt vp in wrath, cast out vpon the grounde, the east wynde dryed vp her fruite [her braunches] were broken of & withered, as for the roddes of her strength, the fire consumed them ¹³ And nowe she is planted in the wildernesse, in a dry and thirstie grounde ¹⁴ And there is a fire gone out of the rodde of her brauches, it hath deuoured her fruite, so that she hath no strong rodde for a scepter to rule: This is a lamentation, and shalbe for a lamentation

¹⁹ Euery tree that bryngeth not foorth good fruite, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre

⁴¹ The sonne of man shall sende foorth his Angels, and [they] shall gather out of his kyngdome, all thynges that offende, and them which do iniquitie

⁵ And he cast downe the peeces of siluer in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged hym selfe

² Euery braunche that beareth not fruite in me, he will take away: And euery braunche that beareth fruite wyll he pourge, that it may bryng foorth more fruite

²⁷ But a fearefull lokyng for of iudgement, and violent fire, whiche shall deuour the aduersaries

²⁰ For yf they, after they haue escaped from the fylthynesse of the worlde, thorowe the knowledge of the Lord, & the sauiour Iesus Christe, are yet tangled agayne therein, and ouercome, then is the later end worse with them then the begynnyng

¹² These are spottes in your feastes of charitie, whe they feast with you, without al feare feedyng the selues: cloudes they are without water, caryed about of windes, corrupt trees, and without fruite, twise dead, and plucked vp by the rootes ¹³ They are the ragyng waues of the sea, fomyng out their owne shame: They are wandryng starres, to whom is reserued the mist of darknes for euer

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

⁸ But the fearefull and vnbeleuing, and the abhominable, and murtherers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, & all lyers, shall haue their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brymstone: which is the seconde death

⁶ And these wordes which I commaunde thee this day, shalbe in thine heart

²⁶ Then shalt thou haue thy delite in the almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God

¹² I will not forsake the commaundement of his lippes, I haue esteemed the wordes of his mouth more then myne appoynted foode

⁴ Delight thou also in God: and he shall geue thee thy heartes desire

¹¹ (119:3) I haue hyd thy wordes within my heart: for this ende, that I shoulde not sinne agaynst thee

⁴ He taught me also and sayde vnto me, let thyne heart receaue my wordes, kepe my commaundementes and thou shalt liue

²⁴ The thing that the vngodly is afraide of, shall come vpon hym: but the ryghteous shall haue their desire

⁸ Then shall thy light breake foorth as the morning, and thy health florishe right shortly: righteousnesse shall go before thee, and the glory of the Lorde shall embrace thee

¹⁶ When I had founde thy wordes I did eate them vp greedyly, they haue made my heart ioyfull and glad: for thy name was called vpon me O Lorde God of hoastes

⁷ Aske, and it shalbe geuen you: seke, and ye shall fynde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you

³⁷ I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but ye seke [meanes] to kyll me, because my worde hath no place in you

¹³ And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that wyll I do, that the father may be glorified in the sonne

²³ And in that day shall ye aske me no question. Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shal aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you

² But is vnder tuters and gouernours, vntyll the tyme appoynted of the father

¹⁶ Then I say, walke in the spirite, and ye shall not fulfyll the lust of the flesshe

¹⁶ Let the worde of God dwell in you richly in all wisdome, teachyng and admonisshyng your owne selues, in psalmes, and hymmes, and spirituall songes, singyng with grace in your heartes to the Lorde

¹⁴ I write to you little chyldren, because ye haue knowe the father. I haue written to you fathers, because ye haue knowen hym that is from the begynnyng. I haue written vnto you young men, because, ye are stronge, and the worde of God abydeth in you, and ye haue ouercome the wicked

²⁷ And the annoyntyng whiche ye haue receaued of hym dwelleth in you: And ye nede not that any man teach you, but as the same annoynting teacheth you of all thynges, and it is true, and not lying: and as it taught you, ye shall abyde in it

²² And whatsoeuer we aske, we receaue of hym, because we kepe his commaundementes, and do those thynges which are pleasyng in his syght

¹⁴ And this is the trust that we haue in hym: that yf we aske any thyng accordyng to his wyll, he heareth vs

¹ The elder to the elect Lady & her chyldren, whom I loue in the trueth: and not I only, but also all that haue knowen ye trueth ² For the truthes sake which dwelleth in vs, and shalbe in vs for euer

¹² The ryghteous shall florishe lyke a paulme tree: and shall spread abroade like a Cedar in Libanus ¹³ Such as be planted in the house of God: shall florishe in the courtes of our Lorde ¹⁴ They shall styll bryng foorth fruite in their age: they shalbe fat and florishyng ¹⁵ For to set foorth in wordes that God is vpright: he is my rocke, and no iniquitie is in hym

⁸ Get you vp to the mountayne, and fetche wood, and buyld this house, & I wil take pleasure in it, and I wilbe glorified, sayth the Lorde

¹⁶ Let your lyght so shyne before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your father, whiche is in heauen

⁴⁴ But I saye vnto you, loue your enemies, blesse them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, pray for the which hurt you, and persecute you

³⁵ But loue ye your enemies, & do good, and lende, lokyng for nothyng agayne: and your rewarde shalbe great, and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde, & to the euyll

³⁵ By this shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples, yf ye haue loue one to another

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in hym, the same bryngeth foorth much fruite: For without me can ye do nothyng

²⁰ For ye are dearely bought: therefore glorifie God in your body and in your spirite, which are Gods

³¹ Whether therfore ye eate or drynke, or whatsoeuer ye do, do all to the prayse of God

¹⁰ He that ministreth seede vnto ye sower, ministreth bread also for foode, and multiplieth your seede, and encreaseth the fruites of your ryghteousnesse ¹¹ That in all thynges ye may be made riche into all singlenesse, which causeth through vs, that thankes are geuen vnto God ¹² For the administration of this seruice, not only supplieth ye neede of the saintes: but also is aboundaunt by the thankes geuyng of many vnto God ¹³ Which by the experiment of this ministration, prayse God for the obedience of your consentyng to the Gospell of Christe, and for your singlenesse in distributyng to them, and to all men ¹⁴ And by their prayers for you, which long after you, for the aboundaunt grace of God in you ¹⁵ Thankes be vnto God, for his vnspeakeable gyft

⁵ (To be) discrete, chaste, house kepers, good, obedient vnto their owne husbandes, that the worde of God be not blasphemed

¹⁰ Neither pickers, but shewing all good faythfulnesse, that they may adourne the doctrine of God our sauiour in all thynges

¹² And see that ye haue honest conuersation among the gentiles: that where as they backbite you as euyll doers, they may by your good workes whiche they shall see, prayse God in the day of visitation

¹¹ If any man speake, [let hym talke] as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth vnto hym, that God in all thinges may be glorified through Iesus Christe, to whom be prayse and dominion for euer and euer. Amen

¹¹ These thynges haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remayne in you, and that your ioy myght be full

¹³ Greater loue hath no man, then this: yt a man bestowe his life for his frendes

²³ I in them, and thou in me: that they may be made perfecte in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me ²⁴ Father, I wyll that they which thou hast geuen me, be with me where I am, that they may see my glorie which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedst me, before the foundation of the world

²⁶ And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and wyll declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued me, may be in them, and I in them

¹⁸ Myght be able to comprehende with al saintes, what is the breadth, & length, and deapth, and heygth

²⁸ And nowe babes abide in him, that when he shal appeare, we may be bolde and not be made ashamed of hym at his commyng

²⁰ But ye dearely beloued, edifie your selues in your most holy fayth, praying in the holy ghost

⁵ And from Iesus Christe, which is a faythfull witnesse, and first begotten of the dead, and Lorde ouer the kynges of the earth: Unto hym that loued vs, and wasshed vs from our sinnes in his owne blood

¹ Behold this is my seruaunt vpon whom I leane, my elect in who my soule is pacified: I haue geuen my spirite vpon him, that he may shewe foorth iudgement among the gentiles ² He shall not be an outcryer, nor lift vp his voyce, his voyce shall not be hearde in the streetes ³ And a broosed reede shall he not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: but faythfully and truely shall he geue iudgement ⁴ He shall not be pensiue nor carefull, that he may restore righteousnesse vnto the earth: and the gentiles also shall loke for his lawes

¹⁵ Iesus aunsweryng, sayde vnto hym: Suffer it to be so nowe. For thus it becommeth vs, to fulfyll all righteousnes. Then he suffred hym ¹⁶ And Iesus, when he was baptized, came strayghtwaye out of the water, and loe the heauens was open vnto hym, and (Iohn) sawe the spirite of God descendyng lyke a doue, and lyghtyng vpon hym ¹⁷ And loe, there (came) a voyce from the heauens, saying: This is my beloued sonne, in whom I am well pleased

³⁴ Iesus sayth vnto them: my meate is to do the wyll of hym that sent me, and to finishe his worke

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

⁴⁹ For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me, he gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I shoulde speake

¹⁵ If ye loue me, kepe my commaundementes

²¹ He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them, the same is he that loueth me: And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father, and I wyll loue him, and wyll shew myne owne selfe to hym

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

⁴ I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished ye worke, which thou gauest me to do

¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and vncircumcision is nothing, but the keping of the commaundementes of God

¹ Furthermore we besech you brethren, & exhorte you by the Lorde Iesus, that ye encrease more and more, as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walke and to please God

²⁶ For such an hye priest became vs, whiche [is] holy, harmelesse, vndefyled, seperate from sinners, and made hygher then heauens

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 ¹⁰ In ye which wyll we are made holy, euen by the offeryng of the body of Iesus Christe once for all

²¹ For it had ben better for them not to haue knowen the way of righteousnes, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commaundement that was geuen vnto them

¹ My litle chyldren, these thynges write I vnto you, that ye sinne not. And yf any man sinne, we haue an aduocate with the father, Iesus Christe the ryghteous ² And he is ye attonement for our sinnes: not for our sinnes only, but also for the sinnes of all the worlde

⁵ But who so kepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede. Hereby knowe we that we are in hym

²¹ Dearely beloued, yf our heart condempne vs not, then haue we boldnesse towarde God ²² And whatsoeuer we aske, we receaue of hym, because we kepe his commaundementes, and do those thynges which are pleasyng in his syght ²³ And this is his comaundement, that we beleue on the name of his sonne Iesus Christe, and loue one another, as he gaue commaundement ²⁴ And he that kepeth his commaundementes, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that he abideth in vs, euen by the spirite which he hath geuen vs

³ For this is the loue of God, that we kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundementes are not greeuous

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that their power may be in the tree of lyfe, and may enter in through the gates into the citie

¹¹ Of the trauayle and labour of his soule, shall he see the fruite & be satisfied: My righteous seruaunt shall with his knowledge iustifie the multitude, for he shall beare their sinnes

⁴ From this tyme foorth thou shalt neuer be called the forsaken, and thy lande shall no more be called the wildernesse: but thou shalt be called, My pleasure is in her, and thy lande shalbe called, The maried woman: for the Lorde loueth thee, and thy land shalbe ioyned in mariage

⁴¹ Yea I wyll haue a lust and pleasure to do them good, and faithfully to plant them in this land with my whole heart and with my whole soule

⁹ And this shall get me a name, a prayse and honour among all the people of the earth, whiche shall heare all the good that I wyll shewe vnto them, yea they shalbe afraide and astonied at all the good deedes and benefites that I wyll do for them

¹⁷ For the Lorde thy God in the mids of thee is mightie, he will saue [thee] he wil reioyce ouer thee with ioy, he wil quiet him selfe in his loue, he will reioyce ouer thee with gladnesse

⁵ And when he hath founde it, he layeth it on his shoulders with ioy

⁹ And when she hath founde it, she calleth her louers & her neyghbours together, saying: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde the peece which I had lost

²³ And bryng [hyther] that fat calfe, and kyll it, and let vs eate and be mery

³² It was meete that we shoulde make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alyue agayne: and was lost, and is founde

²⁹ He that hath ye bride, is the bridegrome. But the friende of the brydegrome, which standeth & heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of ye brydegromes voyce. This my ioy therfore is fulfylled

²⁴ Hytherto haue ye asked nothyng in my name: Aske, & ye shall receaue, that your ioy may be full

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

¹³ Nowe come I to thee, and these wordes speake I in the worlde, that they myght haue my ioy fulfylled in them seues

¹³ The God of hope, fyll you with al ioy and peace in beleuyng, that ye may be riche in hope, through the power of the holy ghost

²⁴ Not that we be Lordes ouer your fayth, but are helpers of your ioy. For by fayth ye stande

¹⁸ And be not drunke with wine, wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the spirite

²⁵ And this am I sure of, that I shall abyde & continue with you all, for your furtheraunce and ioy of fayth

¹⁶ Reioyce euer

⁸ Whom ye haue not seene, and yet loue hym, in whom euen nowe though ye see hym not, yet do you beleue, & reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious

⁴ And this write we vnto you, that your ioy may be full

¹² I had many thynges to write vnto you: neuerthelesse, I woulde not write with paper & inke, but I trust to come vnto you, and speake with you mouth to mouth, that our ioy may be full

³⁴ A newe commaundement geue I vnto you, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you, that euen so ye loue one another

¹⁰ Affectioned one to another with brotherly loue, in geuyng honour, go one before another

² And walke ye in loue, euen as Christe hath loued vs, and hath geuen hym selfe for vs an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellyng sauour to God

¹² And the Lorde encrease you, & make you abounde in loue one towarde another, and towarde all men, euen as we also towarde you

⁹ But as touchyng brotherly loue, ye nede not that I write vnto you: For ye are taught of God to loue one another

³ We are bound to thanke God alwayes for you brethren, as it is meete, because that your fayth groweth exceedyngly, and the loue of euery one of you toward another aboundeth

⁸ In conclusion, be ye all of one minde, of one heart, loue as brethren, be pitiful, be curteous

⁸ But aboue all thynges, haue feruent loue among your selues: For loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes

⁷ Brethren, I write no newe comaundement vnto you, but that olde comaundement which ye haue had from the begynnyng. The olde commaundement is the worde which ye haue hearde fro the begynnyng ⁸ Agayne, a newe commaundement I write vnto you, that is true in hym, and [the same is true] also in you: For the darkenesse is past, and the true lyght nowe shyneth ⁹ He that sayth howe that he is in the lyght, and yet hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, euen vntyll this tyme ¹⁰ He that loueth his brother, abydeth in the lyght, and there is none occasion of euyll in hym

¹¹ For this is the tidynges that ye heard from the begynnyng, that ye shoulde loue one another ¹² Not as Cain, which was of that wicked, and slewe his brother: And wherfore slewe he hym? Because his owne workes were euyll, and his brothers good ¹³ Maruayle not my brethren though the worlde hate you ¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from death vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abideth in death ¹⁵ Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslear: And ye knowe that no manslear, hath eternall life abidyng in hym ¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren ¹⁷ But who so hath this worldes good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from hym: howe dwelleth the loue of God in hym ¹⁸ My babes, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue: but in deede and in veritie

²³ And this is his comaundement, that we beleue on the name of his sonne Iesus Christe, and loue one another, as he gaue commaundement

²¹ And this commaundement haue we of hym: that he which loueth God, shoulde loue his brother also

¹¹ I am the good sheephearde. A good sheephearde, geueth his lyfe for the sheepe

¹⁵ As the father knoweth me, euen so, knowe I also the father: And I geue my lyfe for the sheepe

⁶ For when we were yet weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christe dyed for the vngodly ⁷ Nowe scace wyll any man dye for the righteous: Yet peraduenture for the good some men durst dye ⁸ But God setteth out his loue towarde vs, seyng that whyle we were yet sinners, Christe dyed for vs

⁷ Dearely beloued, let vs loue one another, for loue commeth of God: And euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God ⁸ He that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue ⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs warde, because God sent his only begotten sonne into the worlde, that we myght lyue through hym ¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his sonne to be the agreement for our sinnes ¹¹ Dearely beloued, yf God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another

⁷ Art not thou our God, whiche diddest cast out the inhabiters of this lande before thy people Israel, & gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy louer for euer

¹ I am come into my garden, O my sister, my spouse, I haue gathered my Myrre with my spice: I haue eate hony with my hony combe, I haue drunke my wine with my milke: Eate O ye frendes, drinke and be merie O ye beloued

⁸ But thou Israel art my seruaunt, thou Iacob whom I haue chose, thou art the seede of Abraham my beloued

⁵⁰ For whosoeuer shall do the wyll of my father which is in heauen, the same is my brother, sister, and mother

⁴ And I say vnto you my friendes, be not afrayde of them that kyll the body, and after that, haue no more that they can do

⁵ His mother sayth vnto the ministers: Whatsoeuer he sayth vnto you, do it

¹⁷ Yf ye knowe these thynges, happy are ye, yf ye do them

²⁸ Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you, I go away, and come agayne vnto you. Yf ye loued me, ye woulde veryly reioyce, because I sayde, I go vnto the father: for the father is greater then I

²³ And the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghteousnesse: And he was called the friende of God

¹⁷ And the Lorde sayde: shall I hyde from Abraham that thing which I do ¹⁸ Seyng that Abraham shall surely be a great and a myghtie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in hym ¹⁹ I knowe this also, that he wyll commaunde his chyldren and his householde after him, that they kepe the way of the Lord, and to do iustice and iudgement, that the Lorde may bryng vppon Abraha that he hath spoken vnto him

⁸ But the king of Syria warred against Israel, and toke counsell with his seruauntes, and sayde: In such and such a place shalbe my campe ⁹ And the man of God sent vnto the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou go not ouer to such a place, for there the Syrians are lurkyng ¹⁰ Therfore the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him and warned him of, and saued him selfe from it, not once, nor twyse ¹¹ And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing, and he called for his seruauntes, and said vnto them: Wil ye not shewe me, whiche of our men [betrayght me] to the king of Israel ¹² And one of his seruauntes sayde, None my lorde O king: But Elisa the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel, yea euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber

¹⁴ (25:12) The secrete of God is among them that feare hym: and he wyll make knowen vnto them his couenaunt

⁷ Surely the Lord God wil do nothing, but he reuealeth his secrete vnto his seruauntes the prophetes

¹¹ He aunswered and sayde vnto them: because it is geuen vnto you, to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them, it is not geuen

²³ And he turned to his disciples, & sayde secretely: Happy are the eyes which see the thynges that ye see

¹⁹ The woman sayth vnto hym: Syr, I perceaue that thou art a prophete

²⁶ I haue many thynges to saye, and to iudge of you. Yea, & he that sent me, is true: And I speake to the world, those thynges which I haue hearde of hym

²⁶ If any man minister vnto me, let hym folowe me: And where I am, there shall also my minister be. If any man minister vnto me, hym wyll my father honour

¹⁶ Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you: The seruaunt is not greater the his maister, neither the messenger greater then he that sent hym

²⁰ Remember the worde that I sayde vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then the Lorde. If they haue persecuted me, they wyll also persecute you. If they haue kept my saying, they wyll kepe yours also

⁶ I haue declared thy name vnto ye men, which thou gauest me out of ye world. Thyne they were, and thou gauest the me, and they haue kepte thy worde ⁷ Nowe they haue knowen yt al thinges whatsoeuer yu hast geuen me are of thee ⁸ For I haue geuen vnto them ye wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowe surely that I came out from thee, & they haue beleued, that thou dyddest sende me

¹⁷ Iesus saith vnto her: Touche me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father: But go to my brethren, and saye vnto them, I ascende vnto my father and your father, and to my God & your God

²⁷ For I haue kept nothyng backe, but haue shewed you all ye counsell of God

²⁵ To hym that is of power to stablisshe you, according to my Gospell, and preachyng of Iesus Christe, by reuealyng of the misterie whiche was kept secrete sence the worlde began ²⁶ But nowe is opened, and by the scriptures of the prophetes, at the comaundement of the euerlastyng God, to the obedience of fayth, among all nations publisshed

⁹ But as it is written: The eye hath not seen, & the eare hath not heard, neither haue entred into the heart of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym ¹⁰ But God hath reuealed the vnto vs by his spirite: For the spirite searcheth all thinges, yea the deepe thinges of God ¹¹ For what man knoweth the thynges of a man, saue ye spirite of man which is in hym? Euen so, the thinges of God, knoweth no man, but ye spirite of God ¹² And we haue receaued, not the spirite of the worlde, but the spirite which is of God, that we myght know the thinges that are geuen to vs of God

⁶ Because ye are sonnes, God hath sent the spirite of his sonne into your heartes, crying, Abba, father

⁹ And hath opened vnto vs the misterie of his wyll, accordyng to his good pleasure which he had purposed in himselfe

⁵ Which [misterie] in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reuealed vnto his holy apostles and prophetes by the spirite

²⁶ The misterie hyd sence the worlde began, and [sence the begynnyng of] generations: but nowe is opened to his saintes

¹⁶ Not nowe as a seruaunt, but aboue a seruaunt, a brother beloued, specially to me: but howe much more vnto thee, both in the fleshe, and in the Lorde

¹ Iames a seruaunt of God, and of the lorde Iesus Christ, to ye twelue tribes which are scattred abroade, greetyng

¹¹ Searchyng when or at what tyme the spirite of Christ which was in them, shoulde signifie, which spirite testified before, the passions that should happen vnto Christe, and the glorie that shoulde folowe after

¹ Simon Peter, a seruaunt and an Apostle of Iesus Christe, to them which haue obteined lyke precious faith with vs, thorowe the ryghteousnes of our god and sauiour Iesus Christe

¹ Iude the seruaunt of Iesus Christe, the brother of Iames: To them which are called and sanctified in God the father, and preserued in Iesus Christe

¹ The reuelation of Iesus Christ, which God gaue vnto hym, for to shewe vnto his seruautes thyngs which must shortlye come to passe: And when he had sent, he shewed by his Angel, vnto his seruaunt Iohn

¹⁸ Seyng that Abraham shall surely be a great and a myghtie nation, and all the nations of the earth shalbe blessed in hym

¹⁸ (71:17) Wherfore whylest I am olde and am gray headed: O Lorde forsake me not, vntyll I haue shewed thy arme vnto [this] generation, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come

⁴ We wyll not hyde them from their children: nay we wyll set foorth in wordes to the generation to come, the prayses of God, and his myght and wonderfull workes that he hath done ⁵ For he reuiued a statute in Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe: in the whiche he commaunded our forefathers to teache their children ⁶ To the intent the posteritie shoulde knowe it, [and] children whiche shalbe borne: that they shoulde ryse vp and declare it to their children

⁴ One generation shal praise thy workes vnto another: and they shall declare thy mightie power

⁶ The dayes are comming that Iacob shall take roote, Israel shalbe greene and florishe, and the world shalbe filled with fruite

¹ Ye Isles hearken vnto me, and take heede ye people from farre: The Lord hath called me from my birth, and made mention of my name from my mothers wombe ² He hath made my mouth lyke a sharpe sworde, vnder the shadowe of his hande hath he defended me, and hid me in his quiuer as a good arrowe ³ And sayde vnto me: Thou art my seruaunt Israel, I wyll be honoured in thee

¹⁰ And lyke as the rayne and snowe commeth downe from heauen, and returneth not thyther agayne, but watereth the earth, maketh it fruitfull and greene, that it may geue corne vnto the sower, and bread to hym that eateth ¹¹ So the worde also that commeth out of my mouth shall not turne agayne voyde vnto me, but shall accomplishe my wyll, and prosper in the thing wherto I sende it ¹² And so shall ye go foorth with ioy, and be led with peace: The mountaynes and hylles shall syng with you for ioy, and all the trees of the fielde shal clappe their handes ¹³ For thornes, there shall growe Firre trees, and the Myrre tree in the steede of bryers: And this shalbe done to the prayse of the Lorde, and for an euerlastyng token that shall not be taken away

⁵ Before I fashioned thee in thy mothers wombe, I dyd knowe thee: and or euer thou wast borne, I sanctified thee, and ordeyned thee to be a prophete vnto the people ⁶ Then sayde I: O Lorde God, I can not speake, for I am yet but young ⁷ And the Lorde aunswered me thus: Say not so, I am to young: for thou shalt go to all that I shall sende thee vnto, and whatsoeuer I commaunde thee, that shalt thou speake

⁷ And the remnaunt of Iacob shalbe among the multitude of people as the deawe of the Lord, and as the droppes vpon the grasse, that taryeth for no man and wayteth on no body

⁴ Be ye not like your forefathers, vnto whom prophetes cryed, saying, thus sayth the Lorde of hoastes, Turne you from your euyl wayes, and from your wicked imaginations: But they woulde not heare nor regarde me, sayth the Lorde ⁵ What is nowe become of your forefathers? & do the prophetes liue for euer ⁶ But did not my wordes and statutes whiche I commaunded by my seruauntes the prophetes take hold of your forefathers? and they returned, & sayde: Like as the Lorde of hoastes determined to do vnto vs according to our owne wayes and imaginations, euen so hath he dealt with vs

²² And all thynges, whatsoeuer ye aske in prayer, beleuyng, ye shall receaue them

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto the, saying: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen and in earth ¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teache all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the sonne, and of the holye ghost

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Go ye into all the worlde, and preache the Gospell to all creatures ¹⁶ He that beleueth, and is baptized, shalbe saued: But he that beleueth not, shalbe dampned

¹³ And assoone as it was day, he called his disciples: And of them he chose twelue, whom he called Apostles

⁴⁷ And that repentaunce and remission of sinnes shoulde be preached in his name among all nations, and must begyn at Hierusalem ⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these thynges ⁴⁹ And beholde I wyll sende the promise of my father vpon you: But tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntyll ye be endued with power from an hye

⁷⁰ Iesus aunswereth them: Haue not I chosen you twelue, and one of you is a deuyll

¹⁸ I speake not of you all. I knowe whom I haue chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfylled: He that eateth bread with me, hath lyft vp his heele agaynst me

¹³ And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that wyll I do, that the father may be glorified in the sonne ¹⁴ If ye shall aske any thing in my name, I wyll do it

⁷ Yf ye byde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, aske what ye wyll, and it shalbe done for you ⁸ Herein is my father glorified: that ye beare much fruite, and become my disciples

¹⁹ If ye were of the worlde, the worlde would loue his owne: Howbeit, because ye are not of the worlde, but I haue chosen you out of the worlde: therfore the worlde hateth you

²³ And in that day shall ye aske me no question. Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shal aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you ²⁴ Hytherto haue ye asked nothyng in my name: Aske, & ye shall receaue, that your ioy may be full

²¹ Then sayde Iesus to them agayne, peace be vnto you: As my father sent me, euen so sende I you also ²² And when he had saide those wordes, he breathed on them, & saith vnto them: Receaue ye the holy ghost ²³ Whosoeuers sinnes ye remit, they are remitted vnto them: And whosoeuers sinnes ye retayne, they are retayned

¹⁵ So when they had dyned, Iesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon Ioanna, louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto hym: Yea Lorde, thou knowest that I loue thee. He sayth vnto hym: feede my lambes ¹⁶ He sayth to hym agayne the seconde tyme: Simon Ioanna, louest thou me? He sayth vnto hym: Yea Lorde, thou knowest that I loue thee. He sayde vnto hym: feede my sheepe ¹⁷ He sayde vnto hym the thirde tyme: Simon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thirde tyme, louest thou me: And he sayde vnto hym, Lorde thou knowest all thynges, thou knowest that I loue thee. Iesus sayth vnto hym: feede my sheepe

⁸ But ye shall receaue power, after that the holy ghost is come vpon you: And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me, both in Hierusalem, and in al Iurie, & in Samarie, and euen vnto the worldes ende

²⁴ And they prayed, saying: Thou Lord which knowest the heartes of all men, shewe whether of these two thou haste chosen

¹⁵ The Lord sayde vnto hym: Go thy way, for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my name before the gentiles, & kynges, and the chyldren of Israel

⁴¹ Not to al the people, but vnto vs witnesses, chosen before of God, euen to vs whiche dyd eate and drynke with hym after he arose from the dead

²⁵ And nowe beholde, I am sure that hencefoorth ye al, through who I haue gone preachyng the kyngdome of God, shall see my face no more ²⁶ Wherefore, I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men ²⁷ For I haue kept nothyng backe, but haue shewed you all ye counsell of God ²⁸ Take heede therfore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, ouer the which the holy ghost hath made you ouerseers, to rule the Church of God, which he hath purchased with his owne blood

¹⁴ And he said: The God of our fathers hath ordeyned thee before, that thou shouldest knowe his wyll, and see that iuste one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth

⁵ By whom we haue receaued grace and apostleship, that obedience myght be geuen vnto the fayth in his name, among all heathen

¹³ I woulde that ye should knowe brethren, howe that I haue oftentymes purposed to come vnto you ( and haue ben let hytherto,) that I myght haue some fruite also among you, as among other of the gentiles

¹¹ For yer the [chyldren] were borne, when they had neither done good neither bad, (that the purpose of God by election might stande: not by the reason of workes, but by the caller ¹² It was sayde vnto her: The elder shall serue the younger ¹³ As it is written: Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated ¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there any vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid ¹⁵ For he sayth to Moyses: I wyll shewe mercy to whom I shewe mercy: And wyll haue compassion, on whom I haue compassion ¹⁶ So then it is not of the wyller, nor of the runner: but of the mercy of God

²¹ Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, euen of the same lumpe to make one vessel vnto honour, and another vnto dishonour

⁴ For whatsoeuer thynges haue ben written afore time, were written for our learnyng, that we through pacience and comfort of ye scriptures might haue hope

¹⁵ Neuerthelesse brethren, I haue somewhat more boldly written vnto you, to put you in remembraunce, through the grace that is geuen me of God ¹⁶ That I should be the minister of Iesus Christe, to the gentiles, and shoulde minister the Gospell of God, that the offeryng of the gentiles might be acceptable, and sanctified by the holy ghost ¹⁷ I haue therefore whereof I may reioyce through Christ Iesus, in those thynges which parteyne to God ¹⁸ For I dare not speake of any of those thinges which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the gentiles obedient with worde and deede ¹⁹ In myghtie signes and wonders, by the power of the spirite of God: so that from Hierusalem, & the coastes rounde about, vnto Illyricum, I haue fullye preached the Gospell of Christe

⁶ I haue planted, Apollo watered: but God gaue the encrease ⁷ So then, neither is he that planteth any thyng, neither he that watreth: but God that geueth the encrease

¹⁶ For if I preache the Gospell, I haue nothyng to reioyce of: for necessitie is layde vpon me. But wo is vnto me if I preache not the Gospell ¹⁷ For if I do it with a good wil, I haue a reward: but if [I do it] against my wil, the dispensatio is committed vnto me ¹⁸ What is my reward then? Uerily that when I preache the Gospell, I make the Gospell of Christ free, that I misuse not myne aucthoritie in the Gospell

¹¹ All these thinges happened vnto them for ensamples: but they are written to put vs in remembraunce, whom the endes of the worlde are come vpon

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, which seperated me from my mothers wombe, & called [me] by his grace

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christe Iesus vnto good workes, whiche God hath ordeyned that we shoulde walke in them

⁷ Wherevnto I am ordeined a preacher and an apostle (I tell the trueth in Christe, and lye not) a teacher of the gentiles in fayth and veritie

¹¹ Wherunto I am appoynted, a preacher and Apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles

² And the thynges that thou haste hearde of me by many witnesses, the same commit thou to faythfull men, which shalbe apt to teache other also

¹⁵ And that from an infant thou hast knowen the scriptures, which are able to make thee wyse vnto saluation, thorowe fayth which is in Christe Iesus ¹⁶ All scripture is geuen by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable to doctrine, to reproue, to correction, to instruction which is in ryghteousnesse ¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, instructed vnto all good workes

⁵ For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest refourme ye thynges that are left, and ordayne elders in euerye citie, as I had appoynted thee

⁴ By fayth Abel offered vnto God a more excellent sacrifice then Cain: by whiche he was witnessed to be ryghteous, God testifiyng of his gyftes: by which also he beyng dead, yet speaketh

¹⁸ Yea, and the fruite of ryghteousnes is sowen in peace, of the that make peace

¹⁴ As obedient chyldren, not fashionyng your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignoraunce ¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersation ¹⁶ Because it is written, be ye holy, for I am holy ¹⁷ And yf so be that ye call on the father, which without respect of person iudgeeth accordyng to euery mans worke, see that ye passe the tyme of your dwellyng here, in feare ¹⁸ Forasmuch as ye knowe, howe that ye were not redeemed with corruptible thynges, as siluer and golde, from your vayne conuersation which ye receaued by the tradition of the fathers ¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lambe vndefiled, & without spot ²⁰ Which was ordeyned beforehande, euen before the worlde was made, but was declared in the last tymes for your sakes ²¹ Which by his meanes do beleue on God that raysed hym vp from death, and glorified hym, that ye might haue fayth and hope towarde God

² Whyle they beholde your chaste conuersation coupled with feare

¹⁵ But sanctifie the Lorde God in your heartes. Be redy alwayes to geue an aunswere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his sonne to be the agreement for our sinnes

¹⁹ We loue hym, for he loued vs first

¹² This is my commaundement, that ye loue together, as I haue loued you

¹⁷ Honour all men. Loue brotherly felowship. Feare God. Honour the kyng

¹⁴ We knowe, that we are translated from death vnto lyfe, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abideth in death ¹⁵ Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslear: And ye knowe that no manslear, hath eternall life abidyng in hym ¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren ¹⁷ But who so hath this worldes good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from hym: howe dwelleth the loue of God in hym

⁸ And the king of Israel sayde vnto Iehosaphat: There is yet one man (Michea the sonne of Iimla) by whom we may aske counsell of the Lorde: But I hate him, for he doth not prophecie good vnto me, but euyll. And Iehosaphat sayde: Let not the king say so

⁷ Moreouer, thus saith the Lorde the redeemer and holy one of Israel, concernyng the abhorred & dispised among the gentiles, the seruaunt of them that beare rule, kynges and princes shall see and arise, and worship because of the Lorde that is faythfull, and because of the holy one of Israel that hath chosen thee

³ He is dispised and abhorred of men, he is such a man as hath good experience of sorowes and infirmities: We haue reckened hym so vile, that we hyd our faces from hym

⁸ Three shepheardes I put out of office in one moneth, for I might not away with them: neither had they any delight in me

¹¹ Blessed are ye, whe (men) reuyle you, and persecute (you) and, lying, shall say all maner of euyll saying agaynst you, for my sake

²² And ye shalbe hated of all men, for my names sake: but he that endureth to the ende, shalbe saued

⁹ Then shall they put you to trouble, and shall kyll you, and ye shalbe hated of all nations for my names sake

¹³ And ye shalbe hated of all men for my names sake: But who so endureth vnto the ende, the same shalbe safe

²² Blessed shall ye be when men hate you, & seperate you [from their companie] and raile on you, & put out your names as an euyll thyng, for the sonne of mans sake

²⁰ For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: neither commeth to the light, lest his deedes shoulde be reproued

⁷ The worlde can not hate you, but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes therof are euyll

²³ He that hateth me, hateth my father also ²⁴ Yf I had not done among them, the workes which none other man dyd, they shoulde haue had no sinne. But nowe haue they both seene, and hated not only me, but also my father ²⁵ But [this commeth to passe,] that the worde myght be fulfylled, that is written in their lawe: They hated me without a cause

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

⁴ Ye adulterers & adultresses, knowe you not howe that the frendship of the world is enmitie with God? Whosoeuer therfore wylbe a friende of the worlde, is made the enemie of God

¹ Beholde what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shoulde be called the sonnes of god: For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym

³ And euery man that hath this hope in hym, purgeth hym selfe, euen as he also is pure

¹³ Maruayle not my brethren though the worlde hate you

³² For yf ye loue them which loue you, what thanke haue ye? For sinners also loue their louers

¹⁴ I haue geuen them thy worde, and the worlde hath hated them, because they are not of the worlde, euen as I also am not of the worlde ¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from euyll ¹⁶ They are not of the worlde, as I also am not of the worlde

⁴ According as he had chosen vs in hym before the foundation of the world, that we shoulde be holy, and without blame before hym, through loue ⁵ Who hath predestinate vs into the adoption of childre, by Iesus Christ vnto hym selfe, according to the good pleasure of his wyll ⁶ To the prayse of the glorie of his grace, wherein he hath made vs accepted in the beloued ⁷ In whom we haue redemption through his blood, the forgeuenesse of sinnes, accordyng to the rychesse of his grace ⁸ Wherein he hath abounded towarde vs in all wysedome and prudence ⁹ And hath opened vnto vs the misterie of his wyll, accordyng to his good pleasure which he had purposed in himselfe ¹⁰ That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the tymes, he myght gather together in one all thinges in Christe, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, in hym ¹¹ In whom also we are chosen, beyng predestinate accordyng to the purpose of hym who worketh all thynges after the councell of his owne wyll

² In the which in time passed ye walked, according to the course of this worlde, after the gouernour that ruleth in the ayre, the spirite that nowe worketh in the chyldren of disobedience ³ Among whom we all had our conuersation also in tyme past in the lustes of our flesshe, fulfyllyng the wyll of the flesshe, and of the mynde, & were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as other ⁴ But God which is ryche in mercie, for his great loue wherwith he loued vs ⁵ Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickned vs together with Christ, by grace are ye saued

³ For we our selues also were some tyme foolyshe, disobedient, deceaued, seruyng diuers lustes & voluptuousnes, lyuyng in maliciousnesse and enuie, full of hate, hatyng one another ⁴ But after that the kyndenesse and loue of our sauiour God to manwarde appeared ⁵ Not of workes which [be] in ryghteousnesse wrought, but accordyng to his mercie, he saued vs by the fountayne of regeneration and renuyng of the holy ghost ⁶ Which he shed on vs richlie through Iesus Christe our sauiour ⁷ That we iustified by his grace, should be made heyres accordyng to the hope of eternall lyfe

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royall priesthood, an holy nation, a peculier people: that ye should shewe foorth the vertues of hym that called you out of darknesse into his marueylous lyght ¹⁰ Which in time past were not a people, but are nowe the people of God: which sometime had not obteyned mercy, but nowe haue obteyned mercy ¹¹ Dearely beloued, I beseche you as straugers and pilgrimes, abstaine from fleshly lustes, whiche fight agaynst the soule ¹² And see that ye haue honest conuersation among the gentiles: that where as they backbite you as euyll doers, they may by your good workes whiche they shall see, prayse God in the day of visitation

³ For it is sufficient for vs that we haue spent the tyme that is paste of the lyfe, after the wyll of the gentiles, walkyng in wantonnesse, lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatyng, in excesse of drynkyng, and abominable idolatrie

¹² Not as Cain, which was of that wicked, and slewe his brother: And wherfore slewe he hym? Because his owne workes were euyll, and his brothers good

⁴ Litle chyldren, ye are of God, & haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde ⁵ They are of the world, therfore speake they of the worlde, & the world heareth them

¹⁹ We knowe that we are of God, & the whole worlde lieth in wickednesse ²⁰ We knowe that the sonne of God is come, & hath geuen vs a minde to know hym which is true: and we are in hym that is true, through his sonne Iesus Christe. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe

⁹ And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuyll & Satanas, was cast out, which deceaueth all the world: And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with hym

¹⁷ And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went and made warre with the remnaunt of her seede, which kepe the commaundementes of God, & haue the testimonie of Iesus Christe

⁷ And when the thousande yeres are expired, Satan shalbe loosed out of his pryson ⁸ And shall go out to deceaue the people which are in the foure quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battayle, whose number is as the sande of the sea ⁹ And they went vp in the playne of the earth, and compassed the tentes of the saintes about, and the beloued citie: and fire came downe from God out of heauen, and deuoured them

⁷ And the Lorde saide vnto Samuel, Heare the voyce of the people in all that they say vnto thee: For they haue not cast thee away, but they haue cast me away, that I should not raigne ouer them

¹ But who hath geuen credence vnto our preaching? or to whom is the arme of the Lorde knowen ² For he dyd growe before the Lorde like as a braunche, and as a roote in a drye grounde, he hath neither beautie nor fauour: when we loke vpon hym, there shalbe no fairenesse, we shall haue no lust vnto hym ³ He is dispised and abhorred of men, he is such a man as hath good experience of sorowes and infirmities: We haue reckened hym so vile, that we hyd our faces from hym

⁷ But the house of Israel will not hearken vnto thee, for they will not hearken vnto me: for al the house of Israel haue stiffe foreheades, & stubburne heartes

²⁴ The disciple is not aboue the maister, nor the seruaunt aboue his lorde

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, & saide vnto Marie his mother: beholde, this chylde is set to be the fall & vprysyng agayne of many in Israel, & for a signe which is spoken agaynst

⁴⁰ The disciple is not aboue his maister: But whosoeuer wylbe a perfect disciple, shalbe as his maister is

¹⁶ And therefore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus, and sought [the meanes] to slea hym, because he hadde done these thynges on the Sabboth day

³² The pharisees hearde, that the people murmured such thinges concerning hym: And the pharisees and the hye priestes sent seruauntes to take hym

⁵¹ Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, yf a man kepe my saying, he shall neuer see death

⁵⁹ Then toke they vp stones to caste at hym: but Iesus hyd hym selfe, and went out of the temple

³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym [withall.

⁵⁷ The hye priestes and pharisees had geuen a commaundement, that yf any man knewe where he were, he shoulde shewe it, that they myght take hym

²⁷ And of a trueth, agaynst thy holye chylde Iesus, who thou hast anoynted, both Herode and also Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered them selues together ²⁸ For to do whatsoeuer thy hande & thy counsel determined before to be done ²⁹ And nowe Lorde, beholde their threatnynges, & graunt vnto thy seruauntes, that with all boldensse they may speake thy worde ³⁰ So that thou stretch foorth thyne hande, that healyng, and signes, and wonders, be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus

⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slayne them which shewed before of the commyng of that iuste, of whom ye are nowe the betrayers and murtherers ⁵³ Whiche also haue receaued the lawe, by the disposition of angels, and haue not kept it ⁵⁴ When they hearde these thynges, their heartes claue a sunder, and they gnasshed on hym with their teeth ⁵⁵ But he being full of the holy ghost, loked vp stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standyng on the ryght hande of God ⁵⁶ And sayde: Beholde, I see the heauens open, & the sonne of man standyng on the ryght hande of God ⁵⁷ Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ran vpon hym all at once ⁵⁸ And cast hym out of the citie, and stoned him. And ye witnesses layde downe their clothes at a young mans feete, whose name was Saul ⁵⁹ And they stoned Steuen, callyng on, and saying: Lorde Iesu receaue my spirite ⁶⁰ And he kneeled downe, and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde lay not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he fell a sleepe

¹² And labour, working with our owne handes. We are reuyled, and we blesse. We are persecuted, and suffer it

⁹ We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken therin. We are cast downe, but we perisshe not

¹⁵ Who both kylled the Lorde Iesus, and their owne prophetes, & haue persecuted vs: and God they please not, and are contrarie to all men

¹² Yea, and all that wyll lyue godly in Christe Iesus, shall suffer persecution

⁷ (69:7a) For thy sake haue I suffered reprofe, shame hath couered my face

⁵ Heare the worde of God all ye that feare the thyng which he speaketh: Your brethren that hate you and cast you out for my name sake, say, The Lorde is heynous agaynst vs: but you shall see hym in ioy, when they shalbe confounded

¹⁸ And ye shalbe brought to the head rulers, and kynges, for my sake, in witnesse to them, and to the Gentiles

³⁹ He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his lyfe, for my sake, shall fynde it

¹⁹ Then sayde they vnto hym: Where is thy father? Iesus aunswered, Ye neither knowe me, nor yet my father: Yf ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen my father also

⁵⁴ Iesus aunswered: Yf I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye say is your God

³ And such thynges wyll they do vnto you, because they haue not knowen the father, neither yet me

¹⁷ And nowe brethren, I wote that through ignoraunce ye dyd it, as dyd also your rulers

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell, reioycing that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his name

¹⁶ For I wyl shew hym how great thinges he must suffer for my names sake

²³ For as I passed by, and behelde the maner howe ye worship your gods, I founde an aulter, wherin was written, vnto the vnknowe god. Whom ye then ignorauntly worship, him shewe I vnto you

²⁵ And when they agreed not among them selues, they departed after that Paul had spoken one worde, [that is to say] well spake the holy ghost by Esaias the prophete, vnto our fathers ²⁶ Saying: Go vnto this people, and say, with your eares shall ye heare, and shall not vnderstande: and with your eyes shall ye see, and not perceaue ²⁷ For the heart of this people is waxed grosse, & their eares are dull of hearing, and their eyes haue they closed: lest they shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstande with their heartes, and shoulde be conuerted, and I shoulde heale them

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God: euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a leude mynde, that they should do those thinges which were not comely

⁸ Which none of ye princes of this world knewe: For had they knowen it, they woulde not haue crucified the Lorde of glorie

³⁴ Awake truely out of slepe, and sinne not: For some haue not the knowledge of God. I speake this to your shame

³ Yf our Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost ⁴ In whom the god of this worlde hath blinded the myndes of them whiche beleue not, lest the lyght of the Gospell of the glorie of Christe (which is the image of God) should shine vnto them ⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christe Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruauntes for Iesus sake ⁶ For it is God that commaundeth the lyght to shine out of darknesse, whiche hath shined in our heartes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glorie of God, in the face of Iesus Christe

⁸ In flamyng fire, rendryng vengeance vnto them that knowe not God, and that obey not the Gospell of our Lorde Iesus Christe

¹³ But reioyce, in as much as ye are partakers of Christes passions: that when his glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad ¹⁴ Yf ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christe, happy are ye. For the spirite of glory and of God, resteth vpon you: On their part he is euyll spoken of, but on your part he is glorified

³ And hereby we are sure that we knowe hym, yf we kepe his comaundementes ⁴ He that sayth I knowe hym, and kepeth not his commaundementes, is a lyer, and the veritie is not in hym

³ And hast suffred, and hast patience, and for my names sake hast laboured, and hast not faynted

⁵ And whether they wyll heare or refuse (for they are a rebellious house) yet they may knowe that there hath ben a prophete among them

³¹ They come vnto thee as the people vseth to come, and my people syt before thee, and heare thy wordes, but they do not therafter: for in their mouthes they make a iest of them, and their heart goeth after their couetousnes ³² And lo, thou art vnto them as a testing song of one that hath a pleasaunt voyce, and can sing well: for they heare thy wordes, but do them not ³³ When this commeth to passe (lo it commeth:) then shall they knowe that there hath ben a prophete among them

⁴⁶ The Lord of that seruaunt wyll come in a day when he thynketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware, and wyll hewe hym in peeces, and geue hym his portion with the vnbeleuers

¹⁸ But he that beleueth not, is condempned alredy, because he hath not beleued in the name of the only begotte sonne of God 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 ²⁰ For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: neither commeth to the light, lest his deedes shoulde be reproued ²¹ But he that doeth trueth, cometh to the lyght, yt his deedes may be knowen, howe that they are wrought in God

⁴¹ Iesus sayde vnto them, Yf ye were blynde, ye shoulde haue no sinne: But nowe ye say, we see, therfore your sinne remayneth

⁴⁸ He that refuseth me, & receaueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: The worde that I haue spoken, the same shall iudge hym in the last day

¹¹ Iesus aunswered: Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me, except it were geuen thee from aboue: Therfore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the more sinne

³⁰ And the tyme of this ignoraunce God wyncked at: but nowe byddeth all men euery where to repent

²⁰ For his inuisible thinges, being vnderstanded by his workes, through the creation of the worlde, are seene, that is, both his eternall power and godhead: So that they are without excuse

¹ Therefore art thou inexcusable, O ma, whosoeuer thou be that iudgest. For in that same wherin thou iudgest another, thou condempnest thy self. For thou that iudgest, doest euen ye selfe same thynges

¹⁴ Nowe thankes be vnto God, whiche alwayes geueth vs the victorie in Christe, and openeth the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place ¹⁵ For we are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christe in them that are saued, and in them which perisshe ¹⁶ To the one part [are we] the sauour of death, vnto death: and vnto the other part [are we] the sauour of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is meete vnto these thynges

⁴ For it can not be that they which were once lighted, and haue tasted of the heauenly gyft, and were become partakers of the holy ghost ⁵ And haue tasted of the good worde of God, and the powers of the worlde to come ⁶ And they fall away, shoulde be renued agayne into repentaunce, hauyng crucified to the selues the sonne of God a fresshe, and made a mocke of hym

¹⁷ Therfore to hym that knoweth howe to do good, and doth it not, to hym it is sinne

¹⁶ As free, and not as hauyng the libertie for a cloke of maliciousnes, but euen as the seruauntes of God

⁴⁰ But now ye go about to kyll me, a ma that hath tolde you the trueth, which I haue heard of god: this did not Abraha ⁴¹ Ye do the deedes of your father. Then said they to him: We be not borne of fornication, we haue one father, euen God ⁴² Iesus saide vnto them: Yf God were your father, truely ye woulde loue me: For I proceaded foorth, and came from God: neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me

²³ Whosoeuer denyeth the sonne, the same hath not the father [But he that knowledgeth the sonne, hath the father also.

⁵ Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neyther serue them: for I the Lord thy God, am a gelous God, and visite the sinne of the fathers vpon the chyldren, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me

⁹ Thou shalt neither bowe thy selfe vnto them, nor serue them: for I the Lord thy God, am a ielouse God, visityng the wickednesse of the fathers vpon the children, euen vnto the third and fourth generation among them that hate me

¹⁵ The haters of God shoulde haue ben founde liers: and their time should haue endured for euer

³⁶ But whoso offendeth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and they that hate me, are the louers of death

³³ And when the deuyll was cast out, the dumbe spake, and the multitudes marueyled, saying, that it was neuer so seene in Israel

⁵ The blinde receaue their sight, the halt do walke, the lepers are cleansed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receaue the Gospell

²⁰ Then began he to vpbrayd the cities which most of his mightie workes were done in, because they repented not ²¹ Wo vnto thee Chorazin, wo vnto thee Bethsaida: for if the mightie workes which were shewed in you had ben done in Tyre or Sidon, they had repented long ago in sackcloth and asshes ²² Neuerthelesse I say vnto you, it shalbe easier for Tyre and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you ²³ And thou Capernaum, which art lift vp vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: For if the mightie workes which haue ben done in thee had ben done among them of Sodome, they had remayned vntyll this day ²⁴ Neuerthelesse, I say vnto you, that it shalbe easier for the lande of Sodome in the day of iudgement, then for thee

³² For Iohn came vnto you by the way of righteousnes, & ye beleued hym not: but publicanes & harlottes beleued him. And ye, when ye had sene [it] were not moued afterwarde with repentaunce, that ye myght haue beleued hym

¹² And immediatly he arose, toke vp the bedde, and went foorth before them all: insomuch that they were all amazed, & glorified God, saying: we neuer sawe it on this fashion

¹² I say vnto you, that it shalbe easyer in that day for Sodome, then for that citie ¹³ Wo vnto thee Chorazin, wo vnto thee Bethsaida: For if the miracles had ben done in Tyre and Sidon, whiche haue ben done in you, they had a great whyle ago repented [of their sinnes] syttyng in sackecloth and asshes ¹⁴ Therfore it shalbe easyer for Tyre and Sidon at the iudgement, then for you ¹⁵ And thou Capernaum, which art exalted to heauen, shalt be thrust downe to hell ¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me, and he that despiseth you, despiseth me: and he that despiseth me, despiseth hym that sent me

³⁷ And when he was nowe come nye to the going downe of the mount Oliuete, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the miracles that they had seene ³⁸ Saying: Blessed be the kyng that cometh in the name of the Lorde, peace in heauen, and glory in the hyest ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees of the companie sayde vnto hym: Maister, rebuke thy disciples ⁴⁰ He saide vnto them: I tell you, that if these holde their peace, then shall the stones crye

¹⁹ He sayde vnto them: what thynges? And they sayde vnto him: Of Iesus of Nazareth, whiche was a prophete, mightie in deede and worde before God and all the people

² The same came to Iesus by night, & said vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man coulde do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him

³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse, then the witnesse of Iohn: For the workes whiche the father hath geuen me to finishe, the same workes that I do, beare witnesse of me, that the father hath sent me

³⁶ But I say vnto you, that ye also haue seene me, and yet ye beleue not

³¹ Many of the people beleued on hym, and saide: When Christe commeth, wyl he do mo miracles [then these] that this man hath done

³² Sence the worlde began, was it not hearde, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynde

³² Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me

³⁷ Yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not

⁴⁷ Then gathered the hye priestes and the pharisees a councell, and sayde: What do we? For this man doth many miracles ⁴⁸ If we let hym scape thus, all men wyll beleue on him, and the Romaynes shall come, and take away both our rowme and the people ⁴⁹ And one of them named Caiaphas, beyng the hye priest that same yere, sayde vnto them: Ye perceaue nothyng at all ⁵⁰ Nor consider, that it is expedient for vs, that one man dye for the people, and not that all the people perishe

¹⁰ But the hye priestes helde a councell, that they myght put Lazarus to death also

³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym ³⁸ That the saying of Esaias the prophete myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lorde, who shall beleue our saying? And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared ³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esaias sayth agayne ⁴⁰ He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, & lest they should vnderstande with their hearte, & should be conuerted, and I should heale them

⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth hym that sent me

⁹ Iesus sayth vnto hym: Haue I ben so long tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath seene me, hath seene the father. And howe sayest thou then, shewe vs the father

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you, with miracles, wonders, and signes, which God dyd by hym in the middes of you, as ye your selues also knowe

³⁸ Howe God annoynted Iesus of Nazareth, with the holy ghoste, and with power: Who went about doyng good, and healyng all that were oppressed of the deuyll, for God was with hym

³⁰ Backbyters, haters of God, dispiteful, proude, boasters, bryngers vp of euyll thinges, disobedient to father & mother

⁷ Because that the fleshly mynde is enmitie agaynst God: For it is not obedient to the lawe of God, neither can be ⁸ So then, they that are in the fleshe, can not please God

⁴ Traytours, headdy, hye mynded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God

³ Howe shall we escape, yf we neglect so great saluation? which at the first began to be preached of the Lorde, and was confirmed vnto vswarde, by them that hearde it ⁴ God bearyng witnesse therto both with signes & wonders also, and with diuers powers and gyftes of the holy ghost, accordyng to his owne wyll

⁴ If I haue done euyll vnto hym that had peace with me: and [if] I haue [not] deliuered hym that is without a cause myne aduersarie

¹⁹ O let not my deceiptfull enemies triumph ouer me: let them not winke with an eye, that hate me without a cause

⁴ They that hate me without a cause are mo then the heeres of my head: they that are myne enemies and woulde destroy me giltlesse are mightie, I payde them the thynges that I neuer toke

³ And they haue compassed me about with hatefull wordes: and fought against me without a cause

⁸ Heale the sicke, cleanse ye lepers, rayse the dead, cast out deuyls. Freely ye haue receaued, freely geue

⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them: These are the wordes which I spake vnto you, whyle I was yet with you, that all must [needes] be fulfylled, which were written of me in the law of Moyses, and in the prophetes, and in the psalmes

³⁴ Iesus aunswered them: Is it not written in your lawe, I sayde, ye are Gods

³⁶ For these thynges were done, that the scripture shoulde be fulfylled: Ye shall not breake a bone of hym

¹⁹ Nowe we knowe that what thynges so euer the lawe saith, it saith it to them which are vnder the lawe: That all mouthes maye be stopped, and that al ye world may be indaungered to God

²⁴ Iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christe Iesu

⁷ Dyd I sinne because I submitted my selfe, that ye myght be exalted, & because I preached to you the Gospell of God freely

²¹ I reiect not the grace of God: For yf ryghteousnesse come of the lawe, then Christe is dead in vayne

⁸ Neither toke we breade of any man for nought: but wrought with labour and sweat nyght and daye, because we woulde not be chargeable to any of you

⁶ And he sayde vnto me, it is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the begynnyng and the ende: I wyll geue to hym that is a thirst of the well of the water of lyfe freely

¹⁷ And the spirite and the bride say, come. And let hym that heareth, say also, come. And let hym that is a thirst, come. And let whosoeuer wyll, take of the water of lyfe, freely

⁴⁹ And beholde I wyll sende the promise of my father vpon you: But tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntyll ye be endued with power from an hye

⁴² Iesus saide vnto them: Yf God were your father, truely ye woulde loue me: For I proceaded foorth, and came from God: neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me

¹⁶ And I wyll pray the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he may byde with you for euer ¹⁷ Euen the spirite of trueth, whom the worlde can not receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, neither knoweth hym. But ye knowe hym: For he dwelleth with you, and shalbe in you

²⁶ But the comforter, [which is] the holy ghost, whom the father wyll sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thynges to your remebraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayde vnto you

⁷ Neuerthelesse, I tell you the trueth, it is expedient for you that I go away. For yf I go not away, that comforter wyll not come vnto you: But yf I depart, I wyll sende hym vnto you

¹³ Howebeit, when he is come, whiche is the spirite of trueth, he wyl leade you into all trueth. He shall not speake of himselfe: but whatsoeuer he shal heare, that shall he speake, and he wyll shewe you thynges to come ¹⁴ He shall glorifie me: For he shall receaue of mine, and shal shewe vnto you ¹⁵ All thynges that the father hath, are mine: Therfore sayde I [vnto you] that he shall take of mine, & shew vnto you

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses ³³ Then sence that he by the ryght hande of God was exalted, and hath receaued of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed foorth this, which ye nowe see, and heare

³² And we are recordes of these thynges which we say, & so is also the holy ghost, whom God hath geuen to them that obey hym

⁸ And God whiche knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, and gaue vnto them the holy ghost, euen as he dyd vnto vs

⁶ As the testimonie of Iesus Christ was confirmed in you

⁴ God bearyng witnesse therto both with signes & wonders also, and with diuers powers and gyftes of the holy ghost, accordyng to his owne wyll

⁶ This Iesus Christe, is he that came by water and blood: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the spirite that beareth witnesse, because the spirite is trueth ⁷ For there are three which beare recorde in heauen, the father, the worde, and the holy ghost, and these three are one ⁸ And there are three which beare recorde in earth, the spirite, and water, and blood, and these three agree in one ⁹ If we receaue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: For this is the witnesse of God [that is greater] which he testified of his sonne ¹⁰ He that beleueth on the sonne of God, hath the witnesse in hym selfe: He that beleueth not God, hath made hym a lyer, because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of his sonne

¹ And he shewed me a pure ryuer of water of lyfe, cleare as Cristall, proceadyng out of the throne of god, and of the lambe

¹ The begynnyng of the Gospel of Iesu Christ, the sonne of God ² Euen as they deliuered them vnto vs, which from the begynnyng sawe them them selues with their eyes, and were ministers of the worde ³ I determined also, assoone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the begynnyng, that then I woulde write vnto thee, moste excellent Theophilus

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these thynges

³⁵ And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his recorde is true: & he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might beleue [also.

²⁴ The same disciple is he, which testifieth of these thynges, and wrote these thynges: And we knowe that his testimonie is true

²¹ Wherfore, of these men which haue companyed with vs, all the tyme that the Lorde Iesus went in and out among vs ²² Begynnyng from the baptisme of Iohn, vnto that same day that he was take vp from vs, must one be ordeyned, to be a witnesse with vs of his resurrection

¹⁵ And kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from the dead: of the which we are witnesses

²⁰ For we cannot but speake that, which we haue seene and hearde

³³ And with great power gaue the Apostles witnesse of the resurrection of the Lorde Iesu: And great grace was with them all

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all thynges which he dyd in the land of the Iewes, and at Hierusalem, whom they slewe, and hanged on tree ⁴⁰ Hym God raysed vp the thirde daye, and shewed hym openly ⁴¹ Not to al the people, but vnto vs witnesses, chosen before of God, euen to vs whiche dyd eate and drynke with hym after he arose from the dead ⁴² And he commaunded vs to preache vnto the people, and to testifie that it is he whiche was ordeyned of God to be the iudge of quicke and dead

³¹ And he was seene many dayes of them which came vp with hym from Galilee to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people

⁵ And when Silas and Timotheus were come fro Macedonia, Paul was constrayned by the spirite to testifie to the Iewes that Iesus was Christe

¹¹ And the nyght folowyng, the Lorde stoode by hym, and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul, for as thou hast testified of me in Hierusalem, so must thou beare witnesse also at Rome

¹ The elders which are among you, I exhort, whiche am also an elder, & a wytnesse of the afflictions of Christe, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe opened

¹² By Syluanus a faythfull brother, vnto you, as I suppose, haue I wrytten briefly, exhortyng and testifiyng, howe that this is the true grace of God, wherin ye stande

¹ That whiche was fro the beginning, whiche we haue heard, which we haue seene with our eyes, whiche we haue loked vpo, & our handes haue handeled of, the worde of lyfe ² (And the lyfe appeared, and we haue seene, and beare witnesse, and shewe vnto you that eternall lyfe which was with the father, and appeared vnto vs.

¹⁴ And we haue seene, and do testifie that the father sent the sonne to be the sauiour of the worlde

² Which bare recorde of the worde of God, and of the testimonie of Iesus Christe, and of all thinges that he sawe

⁹ I Iohn, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdome and patience of Iesus Christe, was in the Ile that is called Pathmos, for ye worde of God, and for the witnessyng of Iesus Christe
