¹⁶ For some when they had hearde, dyd prouoke: howe be it, not all that came out of Egypt by Moyses

⁴¹ Then shall he saye vnto them on the left hande: Depart from me ye cursed into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuyll and his angels

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the deuyll, and the lustes of your father wyll ye do. He was a murtherer from the begynnyng, and abode not in the trueth: because there is no trueth in hym. When he speaketh a lye, he speaketh of his owne: For he is a lyer, and the father of the same thyng

¹² For we wrastle not agaynst blood & flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldly gouernours of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst spirituall craftynesse in heauenly [places.

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

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and delyuered them into chaynes of darknesse, to be kept vnto iudgement

⁹ The Lorde knoweth howe to delyuer the godly out of temptation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement for to be punished

¹⁰ And the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fire & brymstone, where the beast and the false prophete shalbe tormented day & nyght for euermore

¹³ But the men of Sodome [were] wicked, and exceedyng sinners agaynst the Lorde

²⁰ And the lorde saide: because the crye of Sodome and Gomorrhe is great, and because their sinne is exceding greeuous

⁵ And they callyng vnto Lot, sayde vnto hym: Where are the men whiche came in to thee this nyght? bryng them out vnto vs, that we may knowe them

²⁴ Then the Lorde rayned vpon Sodome and Gomorrhe brymstone and fire, from the Lorde out of heauen ²⁵ And ouerthrewe those cities, and all that plaine region, and all that dwelled in the cities, and that that grewe vpon the earth ²⁶ But Lots wyfe folowyng him, loked behynde her, & was turned into a piller of salt

²³ Howe all the lande is burnt vp with brimstone and salt, and that it is neither sowen, nor beareth, nor any grasse groweth therin, lyke as in the place of ye ouerthrowyng of Sodome, Gomor, Adama, and Zeboim, which the Lorde ouerthrewe in his wrath and anger

⁹ Except the Lorde of hoastes had left vs a small remnaunt, we shoulde haue ben as Sodoma, & lyke vnto Gomorra

¹⁹ And Babylon that glory of kingdomes, and beautie of the Chaldees honour shalbe destroyed, euen as God destroyed Sodome and Gomor

¹⁴ The sinners at Sion are afrayde, a sodayne fearefulnesse is come vpon the hypocrites: What is he among vs say they that shall dwell by the consumyng fire? Which of vs may abyde the euerlasting heate

¹⁶ Let it happen vnto that man, as to the cities whiche the Lorde turned vpsidedowne and repented not: Let hym heare crying in the morning, and at noone day lamentable howling

⁴⁰ Like as God destroyed Sodome and Gomorre, with the cities that lay there about saith the Lorde: so shall no man dwell there also, neither shall any man haue there his habitation

⁶ The sinne of the daughter of my people, is become greater then the wickednesse of Sodome, that sodaynely was destroyed, and not taken with handes

⁴⁹ Behold, the sinnes of thy sister Sodoma were these: Pryde, fulnesse of meate, and aboundaunce of idlenesse, these thinges had she and her daughters: besides that, they strengthed not the hande of the poore and needie ⁵⁰ But they were hautie, and committed abhomination before me, therefore I toke them away as I sawe good

⁸ Howe shall I geue thee vp Ephraim? [howe] shal I deliuer thee Israel? howe shall I make thee as Adama? [howe] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentinges are kindled within me

¹¹ I haue ouerthrowen you, as God ouerthrewe Sodoma and Gomorra: and ye were as a fire brande pluckt out of the burning: yet haue ye not returned vnto me, sayth the Lorde

²⁴ Neuerthelesse, I say vnto you, that it shalbe easier for the lande of Sodome in the day of iudgement, then for thee

⁴³ And yf thy hande offende thee, cut it of: It is better for thee to enter into lyfe maymed, then hauyng two handes, to go into hell, into fire that neuer shalbe quenched ⁴⁴ Where their worme dyeth not, & the fire goeth not out ⁴⁵ And yf thy foote offende thee, cut it of: It is better for thee to go halt into lyfe, then hauyng two feete, to be cast into hell, into fire that neuer shalbe queched ⁴⁶ Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire goeth not out ⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee, plucke it out: It is better for thee to go into the kyngdome of God with one eye, then hauing two eyes, to be cast into hell fire ⁴⁸ Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire goeth not out ⁴⁹ Euery man shalbe salted with fire: and euery sacrifice shalbe seasoned with salt

²⁹ But euen the same day that Lot went out of Sodome, it rayned fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all

²⁶ Wherefore God gaue them vp vnto shamefull lustes: For euen their women dyd chaunge the naturall vse, into that which is agaynst nature ²⁷ And likewise also, the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and brent in their lustes one with another, and men with men wrought fylthynesse, and receaued to them selues the rewarde of their errour (as it was accordyng

⁹ Knowe ye not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceaued: neither fornicatours, nor idolatours, nor adulterers, nor weaklinges, nor abusers of them selues with mankinde

⁶ And turned their cities of Sodome & Gomorrhe into asshes, ouerthrewe the, dampned them, and made of them an ensample vnto those that after shoulde lyue vngodly

⁵ For God doth knowe, that the same day that ye eate therof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shalbe eue as gods, knowyng good and euyll

²⁸ Thou shalt not rayle vpon ye gods, neither blaspheme ye ruler of the people

³ And they gathered them selues together agaynst Moyses and Aaron, and sayde vnto them: Ye take much vpon you, seyng all the multitude are holy euery one of them, and the Lorde is among them: Why lyft you your selues vp aboue the congregation of the Lord

¹² And Moyses sent, and called Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: which sayde, We wyll not come vp ¹³ Is it a small thyng, that thou hast brought vs out of the land that floweth with mylke and honie, to kyll vs in the wildernesse: except thou make thy selfe lorde and ruler ouer vs also

¹ Why do the Heathen so furiously rage together? and why do the people imagine a vayne thing ² The kynges of the earth stande vp: and the rulers take counsell together against god, and against his annointed ³ Let vs breake [say they] their bondes a sunder: and cast away their cordes from vs ⁴ He that dwelleth in heauen wyll laugh them to scorne: the Lorde wyll haue them in derision ⁵ Then wyll he speake vnto them in his wrath: and he wyll astonie them with feare in his sore displeasure ⁶ [Saying] euen I haue annointed [him] my kyng: vpon my holy hyll of Sion

³ God wyll cut away all flatteryng lippes: [and] the tongue that speaketh great thinges ⁴ Whiche say, we wyll preuayle with our tongue: our lippes are our owne, who is Lorde ouer vs

¹¹ There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not blesse their mother

¹⁷ Who so laugheth his father to scorne, and setteth his mothers commaundement at naught, the rauens of the valley picke out his eyes, and deuoured be he of the young Egles

²⁰ Wishe the king no euil in thy thought, and speake no hurt of the riche in thy priuie chaumber: for a byrde of the ayre shall betray thy voyce, and with her fethers shall she bewray thy wordes

²⁵ But yf the princes perceaue that I haue talked with thee, and come vnto thee, saying: O speake, what sayde the kyng to thee, hyde it not from vs, and we wyll not put thee to death: tell vs (we pray thee) what sayde the kyng to thee ²⁶ See thou geue them this aunswere: I haue humbly besought the kyng that he wyll let me lye no more in Iehonathans house, that I dye not there ²⁷ Then came all the princes vnto Ieremie, and asked hym: and he tolde them after the maner as the kyng bad hym. Then they helde their peace, and let hym alone: for they perceaued nothyng ²⁸ So Ieremie abode styll in the fore entrie of the prison, vntyll the day that Hierusalem was wonne

¹⁴ But his citezins hated hym, and sent a message after hym, saying: We wyll not haue this man to raigne ouer vs

²⁷ But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust hym awaye, saying: Who made thee a ruler and a iudge ouer vs

³⁹ To whom our fathers woulde not obey, but thrust it from them, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt

⁵ Then sayde Paul: I wyst not brethren, that he was the hye priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not curse the ruler of thy people

¹⁷ If any man defyle the temple of God, hym shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are

⁸ He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath geuen to you his holy spirite

¹⁰ To whoremongers, to them that defyle them selues with mankynde, to manstealers, to lyers, to periured, and yf there be any other thyng that is contrarie to wholsome doctrine

¹⁷ Obey them that haue the ouersight of you, and submit your selues: for they watche for your soules, as they that must geue accomptes, that they may do it with ioy, and not with griefe: for that is vnprofitable for you

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

¹⁰ But chiefely them that walke after the fleshe in the lust of vncleanenesse, and despise auctoritie. Presumptious are they, and stande in their owne conceyte, whiche feare not to speake euyl of them that excell in worship ¹¹ When the Angels whiche are greater both in power and might, geue not raylyng iudgement against them before the Lorde ¹² But these, as bruite beastes ledde with sensualitie, and made to be taken and destroyed, speake euyll of the thynges that they vnderstande not, and shall perishe through their owne corruption

⁹ Yet Michael the Archangel, when he stroue agaynst the deuyll, and disputed about the body of Moyses, durst not geue raylyng sentence, but sayde, the Lorde rebuke thee ¹⁰ But these speake euyl of those thinges which they knowe not: & what thinges they know naturally, as beastes which are without reason, in those thynges they corrupt them selues

⁶ And he buryed hym in a valley, in the lande of Moab, ouer agaynst the house of Peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre vnto this day

¹⁷ And Dauid went out to meete them, and aunswered, and sayd vnto them: If ye be come peaceably vnto me, to helpe me, myne heart shalbe knit vnto you: but and if you come to betraye me to myne aduersaries, seeing there is no wickednes in myne handes, the God of our fathers loke thereon and rebuke it

¹³ And Rabsakeh stoode stiffe, and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes tongue, and sayde: Nowe take heede howe the great kyng of the Assyrians geueth you warnyng ¹⁴ Thus saith the kyng: Let not Hezekia deceaue you, for he shall not be able to deliuer you ¹⁵ Moreouer, let not Hezekia comfort you in the Lorde when he saith, The Lorde without doubt shall defende vs, and shall not geue ouer this citie into the handes of the king of the Assyrians ¹⁶ Hearken not to Hezekia, for thus saith the kyng of Assyria: Obtayne my fauour, encline to me, so may euery man enioy his vineyardes and figge trees, and drynke the water of his cesterne ¹⁷ Unto the tyme that I come my selfe, and bryng you into a lande that is lyke your owne, wherin is wheate & wine, which is both sowen with seede and planted with vineyardes ¹⁸ Let not Hezekia deceaue you, when he saith vnto you, the Lorde shall deliuer vs: Myght the gods of the gentiles kepe euery mans lande from the power of the kyng of the Assyrians ¹⁹ Where is the god of Hemath and Arphad? where is the god of Sepharuaim? and who is able to defende Samaria out of my hande ²⁰ Or which of all the gods of these landes hath deliuered their countrey out of my power? Is the Lord in deede able to deliuer Hierusalem from my hande ²¹ Unto this Hezekias messengers helde their tongues, and aunswered not one worde: for the kyng had charged them that they should geue him no aunswere

³ And they sayde vnto hym, Thus saith Hezekia: This is the day of trouble, of plague, and of blasphemie: for the children are come to the place of birth, but there is no power to bryng them foorth ⁴ The Lorde thy God [no doubt] hath well considered the wordes of Rabsakeh, whom his lorde king of the Assyrians hath sent to defie and blaspheme the lyuyng God, with such wordes as the Lorde thy God hath hearde ryght well: and therfore lyft vp thy prayer for the remnaunt that yet are left

¹⁰ Say thus to Hezekia kyng of Iuda: Let not thy God deceaue thee, in whom thou hopest, and sayest, Hierusalem shall not be geuen into the handes of the kyng of Assyria ¹¹ For lo, thou knowest well howe the kynges of Assyria haue handled all the landes that they haue subuerted: and hopest thou to escape ¹² Were the people of the gentiles whom my progenitours conquered, deliuered at any tyme through their gods? [As namely] Gosan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Thalassar ¹³ Where is the king of Hemath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the citie Sepharuaim, Ena, and Aua ¹⁴ Nowe when Hezekia had receaued the letter of the messengers, and read it, he went vp into the house of the Lorde, and opened the letter before the Lorde ¹⁵ And Hezekia prayed vnto the Lorde [on this maner. ¹⁶ O Lorde of hoastes, thou God of Israel, which dwellest vpon Cherubim, thou art the God that only is God of all the kingdomes of the world, for thou only hast created heauen and earth ¹⁷ Encline thine eare Lorde and consider, open thine eyes Lorde and see, and ponder all the wordes of Sennacherib, which hath sent his embassage to blaspheme the lyuyng God ¹⁸ It is true O Lorde that the kynges of Assyria haue conquered all kyngdomes and landes ¹⁹ And cast their gods in the fire: for those were no gods, but the workes of mens handes, of wood or stone, therfore haue they destroyed them ²⁰ Nowe therfore deliuer vs O Lord our God from the handes of Sennacherib, that all the kyngdomes of the earth may knowe that thou only art the Lorde

¹³ But the prince of the kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but lo, Michael one of the chiefe princes came to helpe me, & I remained there by the kinges of Persia

²¹ Neuerthelesse, I wyll shew thee that that is noted in the scripture of trueth: and there is none that helpeth me in these thinges, but Michael your prince

¹ And at that tyme shal Michael stande vp, the great prince, which standeth for the chyldren of thy people: for there shalbe a tyme of trouble, suche as neuer was since there began to be a nation, vnto that same tyme: and at that tyme thy people shalbe deliuered euery one that shalbe found written in the booke

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

²⁹ And they that went by, rayled on him, wagging their heades, and saying: A wretche, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three dayes

³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whiche were hanged, rayled on hym, saying: If thou be Christe, saue thy self and vs ⁴⁰ But the other aunswered, and rebuked hym, saying: Fearest thou not God, seing thou art in the same dampnation

¹⁶ For the Lorde hym selfe shal descende from heauen in a shoute, [and] in the voyce of the Archangell, and in the trumpe of God: And the dead in Christ shall aryse first

⁹ Not rendryng euyl for euyll, or rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywyse blesse, knowyng that ye are therevnto called, euen that ye shoulde be heyres of the blessyng

¹¹ When the Angels whiche are greater both in power and might, geue not raylyng iudgement against them before the Lorde

⁷ And there was a battayle in heauen, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels

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

¹² But these, as bruite beastes ledde with sensualitie, and made to be taken and destroyed, speake euyll of the thynges that they vnderstande not, and shall perishe through their owne corruption

³ And in processe of dayes it came to passe, that Cain brought of the fruite of the grounde, an oblation vnto ye lorde ⁴ Habel also brought of the firstlynges of his sheepe, & of the fatte thereof: and the Lorde had respect vnto Habel, and to his oblation ⁵ But vnto Cain and to his offeryng he had no respect: for the whiche cause Cain was exceedyng wroth, and his countenaunce abated ⁶ And the Lorde saide vnto Cain: why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenaunce abated ⁷ If thou do well, shalt thou not receaue? and yf thou doest not well, lyeth not thy sinne at the doores? Also vnto thee shall his desire be, and thou shalt haue dominion ouer hym ⁸ And Cain talked with Habel his brother: and it came to passe when they were in the fielde, Cain rose vp agaynst Habel his brother, & slewe him ⁹ And the Lorde said vnto Cain: where is Habel thy brother? Which sayde I wote not: Am I my brothers keper ¹⁰ And he sayde: What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me out of the grounde ¹¹ And nowe art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receaue thy brothers blood from thy hande ¹² If thou tyll the grounde, she shall not yeelde vnto thee her strength. A fugitiue and a vacabound shalt thou be in the earth ¹³ And Cain sayde vnto the Lord: My iniquitie is more then that it may be forgeuen ¹⁴ Beholde, thou hast cast me out this day from the vpper face of the earth, & from thy face shall I be hyd, fugitiue also and a vacabounde shall I be in the earth: and it shall come to passe, that euery one that fyndeth me shal slay me

¹ And Corah the sonne of Isaar, the sonne of Caath, the sonne of Leui, went a part with Dathan and Abiram, the sonnes of Eliab, & On the sonne of Peleth, the sonne of Ruben ² And they rose vp before Moyses, with certayne of the children of Israel, two hundred & fiftie, which were captaynes of the multitude, famous in the congregation, and men of renoune ³ And they gathered them selues together agaynst Moyses and Aaron, and sayde vnto them: Ye take much vpon you, seyng all the multitude are holy euery one of them, and the Lorde is among them: Why lyft you your selues vp aboue the congregation of the Lord ⁴ And when Moyses hearde it, he fell vpon his face ⁵ And spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: Tomorowe the Lord wyll shewe who are his, who is holy, and who ought to approche nye vnto hym: and whom he hath chosen, he will cause to come neare vnto hym ⁶ This do therfore: Take you firepannes, both Corah & all his companie ⁷ And do fire therin, and put incense in them before the Lorde to morowe: And the man whom the Lorde doth chose, the same shalbe holy: Ye take much vpon you ye sonnes of Leui ⁸ And Moyses sayd vnto Corah: Heare I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui ⁹ Seemeth it but a small thyng vnto you, that the God of Israel hath seperated you from the multitude of Israel, and brought you to hym selfe, to do the seruice of the tabernacle of the Lorde, and to stande before the multitude, and to minister vnto them ¹⁰ He hath taken thee to hym, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee: and seeke ye the office of the priest also ¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lorde: And what is Aaron, that ye murmure agaynst hym ¹² And Moyses sent, and called Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: which sayde, We wyll not come vp ¹³ Is it a small thyng, that thou hast brought vs out of the land that floweth with mylke and honie, to kyll vs in the wildernesse: except thou make thy selfe lorde and ruler ouer vs also ¹⁴ Moreouer, thou hast not brought vs vnto a lande that floweth with mylke & honie, neither geuen vs inheritaunce of fieldes and vineyardes: Wylt thou put out the eyes of these men? We wyll not come vp ¹⁵ And Moyses waxed very angry, and sayde vnto the Lorde, Turne not thou vnto their offeryng: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them ¹⁶ And Moyses sayde vnto Corah: Be thou & al thy company before the Lord, both thou, they, and Aaron, to morowe ¹⁷ And take euery man his censer, and put incense in them, and bryng ye before the Lorde euery man his censer, euen two hundreth and fiftie censers: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censer ¹⁸ And they toke euery man his censer, and put fire in them, and layde incense theron, and stoode in the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moyses and Aaron ¹⁹ And Corah gathered all the congregation agaynst them, vnto the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation: And the glorie of the Lorde appeared vnto all the congregation ²⁰ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying ²¹ Seperate your selues from among this congregation, that I may consume them at once ²² And they fell vpon their faces, and sayde: O God, the God of spirites of all fleshe, hath not one man sinned? Wilt thou be wroth with all the multitude ²³ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying ²⁴ Speake vnto the congregation, and say: Get you away from about the tabernacle of Corah, Dathan, & Abiram ²⁵ And Moyses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram: and the elders of Israel folowed hym ²⁶ And he spake vnto the congregation, saying: Depart I pray you from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothyng of theirs, lest ye perishe in all their sinnes ²⁷ And so they gate them from the tabernacle of Corah, Dathan, and Abiram, on euery syde: And Dathan & Abiram came out, & stoode in the doore of their tentes, with their wiues, their sonnes, and their litle children ²⁸ And Moyses sayde: Hereby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all these workes, for I haue not done them of myne owne mynde ²⁹ If these men dye the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, then the Lorde hath not sent me ³⁰ But and if the Lorde make a newe thyng, and the earth open her mouth, and swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they go downe quicke into the pit: then ye shall vnderstande that these men haue prouoked ye Lorde ³¹ And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking al these wordes, the ground cloue asunder that was vnder them ³² And the earth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp, and their houses, and all the men that were with Corah, and all their goodes ³³ And they and all that they had went downe alyue vnto the pit, and the earth closed vpon them: and they perished from among the congregation ³⁴ And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crye of them: And they sayde, lest the earth swalowe vs vp also ³⁵ And there came out a fire from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and fiftie men that offered incense

¹ And the children of Israel departed and pitched in the fieldes of Moab, on the other side of Iordane from Iericho ² And Balac the sonne of Ziphor, sawe all that Israel had done to ye Amorites ³ And the Moabites were sore afrayde of the people, because they were many, and they were stroken with feare of the chyldren of Israel ⁴ And Moab sayde vnto the elders of Madian: Nowe shall this companie lycke vp all that are rounde about vs, as an oxe licketh vp the grasse of ye fielde. And Balac the sonne of Ziphor, was kyng of the Moabites at that tyme ⁵ He sent messengers therefore vnto Balaam the sonne of Beor to Pethor, which is by the riuer of the lande of the chyldren of his folke, to call him, saying: Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt, and beholde they couer the face of the earth, & dwell ouer against me ⁶ Come nowe therfore I pray thee, and curse me this people, for they are to mightie for me, so peraduenture I myght be able to smyte them, & to driue them out of the lande: For I wote that he whom thou blessest, is blessed, and whom thou cursest is cursed ⁷ And the elders of Moab, and the elders of Madian departed, hauyng the [rewarde] of the southsaying in their hande: And they came vnto Balaam, and tolde hym the wordes of Balac ⁸ He aunswered them: Tary here this nyght, and I wyll bryng you worde, euen as the Lorde shall say vnto me. And the lordes of Moab abode with Balaam ⁹ And God came vnto Balaam, and sayd: What men are these with thee ¹⁰ And Balaam sayd vnto God: Balac the sonne of Ziphor kyng of Moab hath sent vnto me [saying: ¹¹ Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt, and couereth the face of the earth: Come nowe therefore, and curse them for my sake, if so peraduenture I may be able to ouercome them in battayle, and to dryue them out ¹² And God said vnto Balaam: Go not thou with them, neither curse the people: for they are blessed ¹³ And Balaam rose vp in the mornyng, and sayd vnto the lordes of Balac, Get you vnto your lande: for the Lord wyll not suffer me to go with you ¹⁴ And the lordes of Moab rose vp, and went vnto Balac and sayde: Balaam would not come with vs ¹⁵ And Balac sent againe a greater companie of lordes, and more honourable then they ¹⁶ Whiche came to Balaam, and tolde hym, Thus sayeth Balac the sonne of Ziphor: Oh let nothyng let thee, but come vnto me ¹⁷ For I wyll greatly promote thee vnto great honour, and wyll do whatsoeuer thou sayest vnto me: come I pray thee, curse this people for my sake ¹⁸ And Balaam aunswered and said vnto the seruauntes of Balac: If Balac woulde geue me his house full of syluer and golde, I can not go beyonde the worde of the Lorde my God, to do lesse or more ¹⁹ Nowe therefore I pray thee, tarie ye here this nyght, that I may wit what the Lorde wyll say vnto me more ²⁰ And God came vnto Balaam by night, and sayde vnto hym: If the men come to call thee, ryse vp and go with them: but loke what I say vnto thee, that shalt thou do ²¹ And Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, & went with the lordes of Moab ²² And the wrath of God was kindled, because he went: And the angell of the Lorde stoode in the way to be agaynst hym, as he rode vpon his asse, and his two seruauntes were with hym ²³ And when the asse sawe the angell of the Lord stand in the way, and hauyng his sworde drawen in his hand, the asse turned aside out of the way, and went out into the fielde: And Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way ²⁴ But the angell of the Lorde stoode in a path betweene the vineyardes, and there was a wall on the one syde, and another on the other

⁹ And the sonnes of Eliab, Nemuel, Dathan, & Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, and stroue against Moyses and Aaron in the company of Corah, when they stroue agaynst the Lorde ¹⁰ And the earth opened her mouth, & swalowed them vp: Corah also was in the death of that multitude, what tyme the fire consumed two hundred and fiftie men: and they became a signe

¹⁶ Beholde, these caused the children of Israel through the councel of Balaam, to commit trespasse agaynst the Lorde in the businesse of Peor, and there folowed a plague among the congregation of the Lorde

⁴ Because they met you not with bread and water in the way, when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hyred against thee Balaam the sonne of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee

⁹ Then Balak the sonne of Ziphor king of Moab, arose & warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the sonne of Beor for to curse you ¹⁰ But I woulde not hearken vnto Balaam, & therfore he rather blessed you: and so I deliuered you out of his hand ¹¹ And ye went ouer Iordane, and came vnto Iericho: and the men of Iericho fought against you, the Amorites, Pherezites, Chanaanites, Hethites, Gergesites, Heuites, and Iebusites, & I deliuered them into your hande

⁹ Their very countenaunce bewrayeth the, yea they declare their owne sinnes [themselues] as Sodome, they hide it not: Wo be to their owne soules, for they haue rewarded euyll vnto them selues

¹¹ [But] wo be vnto the wicked, for it shalbe euyll with hym: for he shalbe rewarded after his owne workes

²⁷ Thy adulteries, thy neyghinges, thy shamefull whoredome on the hylles in the fieldes, and thy abhominations haue I seene: Wo be vnto thee (O Hierusalem) wylt thou neuer be clensed any more? Or when shall that be

³ Thus saith the Lord God, wo be vnto those foolishe prophetes that folowe their owne spirit, & haue seene nothing

⁵ Remember O my people, what Balach the king of Moab had deuised against thee, and what aunswere that Balaam the sonne of Beor gaue him, from Sethin vnto Galgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnesse of the Lorde

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

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

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

¹⁵ Which haue forsaken the ryght waye, and are gone astray, folowyng the way of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnrighteousnesse

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

¹⁴ But I haue a fewe thynges agaynst thee, because thou hast there, them that maynetayne the doctrine of Balaam, whiche taught in Balacke, to put a stumblyng blocke before the chyldren of Israel, that they shoulde eate of meate dedicate vnto idols, & commit fornicatio

²⁰ Then will I plucke them vp by the rootes, out of my lande whiche I haue geuen them, and this house whiche I haue sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a prouerbe and a iest among all nations

³ And he shalbe lyke a tree planted by the waters syde, that bryngeth foorth her fruite in due season: and whose leafe wythereth not, for whatsoeuer he doth it shall prosper

² For they shall soone be cut downe like the grasse: and be withered euen as the greene hearbe

²⁹ So they dyd eate and were wel filled, for he gaue them their owne desire: neuerthelesse they were not alienated from their lust ³⁰ But whyle the meate was yet in their mouthes, the heauy wrath of God came vpon them, and slue the welthyest of them: and made the chosen men of Israel to stoupe ³¹ For all this they sinned still: and beleued not his wonderous workes

¹⁴ Whoso maketh great boastes and geueth nothing, is lyke cloudes and winde without rayne

¹⁰ For his watchmen are all blynde, they haue altogether no vnderstanding, they are all dumbe dogges not beyng able to barke, they are sleepy, sluggishe are they and lye snortyng ¹¹ They are shamelesse dogges that be neuer satisfied: The sheepheardes also in like maner haue no vnderstandyng, but euery man turneth his owne way, euery one after his owne couetousnesse with all his power ¹² Come [say they] I wyll fetche wine, so shall we fyll our selues, that we may be drunken: and do to morowe lyke as to day, yea and much more

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

² Thou sonne of man, prophecie against the shepheardes of Israel, prophecie and speake vnto them: thus saith the Lorde God vnto the shepheardes, Wo be vnto the shepheardes of Israel that feede them selues: should not the shepheards feede the flockes

⁸ As truely as I lyue saith the Lorde God, forsomuch as my sheepe are robbed, & deuoured of all the wylde beastes of the fielde, hauing no shepheard, and seeing that my shepheardes seke not my sheepe, but the shepheardes feede them selues, and feede not my sheepe

¹⁰ Thus saith the Lorde God: beholde, I wyll vpon the shepheardes, and require my sheepe from their handes, and make them ceasse from feeding of the sheepe, yea the shepheardes shall feede them selues no more: for I wyll deliuer my sheepe out of their mouthes, so that they shall not deuour them after this

¹⁸ Seemeth it a smal thing to you to haue eaten vp the good pasture, and to treade downe the residue of your pasture with your feete also? to drinke the deepe waters, and to trouble the rest also with your feete

⁴ O Ephraim, what shall I do vnto thee? O Iuda, howe shall I intreate thee? for your goodnesse is lyke a morning cloude, & like a deawe that goeth early away

⁶ And when the sonne was vp, they caught heate, and because they had not roote, they wythered away

¹³ But he aunswered and sayde: Euery plantyng which my heauenly father hath not planted, shalbe rooted vp

¹⁹ And when he sawe one fygge tree in the waye, he came to it, and founde nothyng theron but leaues only, & said vnto it: neuer fruite growe on thee henceforwarde.

⁶ But assoone as the sonne was vp, it caught heate: and because it hadde not roote, it wythered away

²⁰ And in the mornyng, as they passed by, they sawe the fygge tree dryed vp by the rootes ²¹ And Peter remembred, and sayde vnto hym: Maister, beholde, the fygge tree which thou cursedst, is withered away

⁶ And some fell on stones, and assoone as it was sprong vp, it withered away, because it lacked moystnes

¹⁹ And I wyll saye to my soule: Soule, thou hast much goods layed vp [in store] for many yeres, take thyne ease, eate, drynke, and be mery ²⁰ But God sayde vnto hym: Thou foole, this nyght wyll they fetch awaye thy soule againe fro thee: Then whose shall those thynges be, which thou hast prouided

⁴⁵ But & yf that seruaut say in his heart, my lorde wyll deferre his commyng, and shall begyn to smyte the seruauntes and maydens, and to eate and drynke, and to be dronken

¹⁹ Ther was a certaine riche man, whiche was clothed in purple & fine whyte, and fared very deliciously euery day

³⁴ Take heede to your selues, lest at any tyme your heartes be ouercome with surfettyng and dronkennesse, and cares of this lyfe, and so the daye come vpon you vnwares

⁴ Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche can not beare fruite of it selfe, except it byde in the vine: no more can ye, except ye abyde in me 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 ⁶ Yf a man byde not in me, he is cast foorth as a braunch, and withereth, and men gather them, and cast them into the fyre, and they burne

And one is hungry, and another is drunken ²² Haue ye not houses to eate & to drynke in? Despise ye the Churche of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I say vnto you, shall I prayse you in this, I prayse you not

¹⁹ Whose ende [is] dampnation, whose God [is their] belly, and glorie to their shame, which mynde earthly thynges

⁶ Therefore let vs not sleepe, as [do] other: but let vs watche and be sober ⁷ For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night: and they that be druncken, are druncken in the nyght

⁶ But she that liueth in pleasure, is dead beyng alyue

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 ⁷ For the earth which drynketh in the rayne that commeth oft vppon it, and bringeth foorth hearbes meete for them by whom also it is dressed, receaueth blessyng of God ⁸ But that grounde whiche beareth thornes and bryers, is reproued, and is nye vnto cursyng, whose ende is to be burned

⁵ Ye haue liued in pleasure on the earth, and ben wanton: Ye haue nourisshed your heartes, as in a day of slaughter

¹³ And receaue the rewarde of vnryghteousnesse, they count it pleasure to lyue deliciouslye for a season: Spottes they are and blottes, delighting them selues in their deceauynges, in feastyng with you ¹⁴ Hauyng eyes full of adulterie, & that can not ceasse from sinne, begylyng vnstable soules: Heartes they haue exercised with robberie, they are cursed chyldren

¹⁷ These are welles without water, cloudes that are caryed with a tempest, to whom the mist of darknesse is reserued for euer ¹⁸ For when they haue spoken the great swellyng wordes of vanitie, they entice through lustes in the voluptuousnesse of the fleshe, them that were cleane escaped, from them whiche are wrapped in errour ¹⁹ Whyle they promise them libertie, where as they them selues are ye bonde seruauntes of corruption. For of whom a man is ouercome, vnto the same is he brought in bondage 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

⁷ Who stilleth the raging of the sea, and the noyse of his waues: and the vprore of the people

³ The fluddes are risen O God, the fluddes haue lyft vp their noyse: the fluddes haue lyft vp their waues ⁴ God which is on high, is more puissaut then the noyse of many waters: then the mightie waues of the sea

²⁰ But the wicked are lyke the raging sea that can not rest, whose water fometh with the mire and grauell

²² Feare ye not me, saith the Lorde? will ye not tremble at my presence? which bynde the sea with the sande by a continuall decree, so that it can not passe his boundes: for though it rage, yet can it do nothing, and though the waues therof do swell, yet may they not go ouer ²³ But this people hath a false and obstinate heart, they are departed and gone away fro me

¹³ But the euyll men and deceauers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceauyng and deceaued

¹⁷ These are welles without water, cloudes that are caryed with a tempest, to whom the mist of darknesse is reserued for euer

¹⁰ The same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God: yea, of the pure wyne which is powred in ye cup of his wrath: And he shalbe punisshed in fyre & brimstone, before the holy angels, and before the lambe ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth vp euermore: And they haue no rest day nor nyght which worship the beast and his image, and whosoeuer receaueth the prynt of his name

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

¹⁸ Iered lyued an hundreth sixtie & two yeres, and he begate Henoch

²¹ Henoch lyued sixtie and fiue yeres, & begate Methuselah ²² And Henoch walked with God after he begate Methuselah three hundreth yeres, and begate sonnes & daughters ²³ And al ye dayes of Henoch were three hundreth sixtie and fiue yeres ²⁴ And Henoch walked with God: and he was no more seene, for God toke him away

² The Lorde came from Sinai, and rose vp from Seir vnto them, and appeared from mount Pharan, & he came with ten thousande of saintes, and in his ryght hand a lawe of fire for them

¹ Adam, Seth, Enos ² Kenan, Mahalchel, Iared ³ Henoh, Methusalah, Lamech

²⁵ For I am sure that my redeemer saueth, and he shall rayse vp at the latter day them that lye in the dust ²⁶ And though after my skinne the [wormes] destroy this body, yet shall I see God in my fleshe ²⁷ Whom I my selfe shall see, and myne eyes shall beholde, and none other for me, though my raines are consumed within me

³ Our Lorde commeth, and he wyll not kepe scilence: there goeth before hym a consumyng fire, and a mightie tempest is sturred rounde about hym ⁴ He calleth from aboue the heauen and the earth: that he may iudge his people ⁵ Gather my saintes together vnto me: those that haue made a couenaunt with me with sacrifice

⁹ I behelde till the thrones were set vp, & the auncient of dayes did sit: whose garment was white as snowe, and the heeres of his head lyke the pure wooll: his throne was like the firie flambe, and his wheeles as burning fire ¹⁰ There issued foorth a firie streame, and went out from before him: a thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and ten thousand thousandes stoode before him: the iudgement was set, & the bookes opened

⁵ And ye shall flee vnto the valley of my hylles, for the valley of the hylles shall reache vnto Asal: yea, flee shall ye lyke as ye fled for the earthquake in the dayes of Oziah king of Iuda: and the Lorde my God shall come, and all the sainctes with him

²⁷ For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels: and then shall he rewarde euery man accordyng to his workes

³⁰ And then shall appeare the signe of the sonne of man, in heauen: And then shall all the kynredes of the earth mourne, and they shall see the sonne of man comming in the cloudes of heauen, with power and great glory ³¹ And he shall sende his Angels, with the great sounde of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen, from the foure wyndes, euen from one ende of heauen, to the other

⁷ And to you whiche are troubled, reste with vs, in the reuelation of the Lorde Iesus from heauen, with the Angels of his power ⁸ In flamyng fire, rendryng vengeance vnto them that knowe not God, and that obey not the Gospell of our Lorde Iesus Christe

⁵ By fayth was Enoch translated, that he shoulde not see death, neither was he founde, for God had taken hym away: For afore he was taken away, he was reported of to haue pleased God ⁶ But without fayth it is vnpossible to please hym: For he that cometh to God, must beleue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him

⁷ Beholde, he commeth with cloudes, and all eyes shall see hym, and they also which pearsed hym: And all kinredes of the earth shall wayle before hym. Euen so. Amen

⁸ And Moyses sayde: At euen shall the Lord geue you fleshe to eate, and in the mornyng bread inough, for the Lorde hath heard your murmuringes which ye murmure agaynst him: for what are we? Your murmurings are not against vs, but agaynst the Lorde

³ Talke no more proudly, let not arrogancie come out of your mouthes: for the Lorde is a God of knowledge, and his purposes come to passe

⁷ But God wyll sit for euer: he hath prepared his throne for iudgement ⁸ For he wyll iudge the world in iustice: and minister iudgement vnto the people in righteousnesse

Selah

⁹ For they stretch foorth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the worlde

⁴ All such as be workers of iniquitie: they babble, they prate shoutly, they make boastes of them selues

⁹ (98:10) For he commeth to iudge the earth: he wyll iudge the worlde accordyng to iustice, & the people accordyng to equitie

⁹ That they may execute the iudgement prescribed: this honour shalbe to all his saintes. Prayse ye the Lorde

⁹ Be glad then (O thou young man) in thy youth, and let thy heart be merie in thy young dayes, folowe the wayes of thyne owne heart, and the lust of thyne eyes, but be thou sure that God shall bryng thee into iudgement for all these thinges

¹⁴ For God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or euyll

²² This is the aunswere that the Lorde hath geuen concernyng hym: Dispised art thou and mocked O daughter Sion, he hath shaken his head at thee O daughter of Hierusalem ²³ But thou Sennacherib, whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? Agaynst whom hast thou lifted vp thy voyce, and exalted thy proude lokes? euen agaynst the holy one of Israel ²⁴ Thou with thy seruauntes hast blasphemed the Lorde, and thus holdest thou of thy selfe: I wyll couer the hye mountaynes and sydes of Libanus with my horsemen, and there wyll I cut downe the hye Cedar trees, and the fayrest Firre trees: I wyll vp in the heyght of it, and into the chiefest of his tymber woods ²⁵ If there be no water, I wyll graue and drynke: and as for waters of defence, I wyll drye them vp with the feete of myne hoast ²⁶ Yea, hast thou not hearde what I haue taken in hande and brought to passe of olde tyme? That same wyll I do nowe also, and waste, destroy, and bryng strong cities vnto heapes of stones ²⁷ For their inhabitours shalbe like lame men brought in feare and confounded: they shalbe lyke grasse and greene hearbes in the fielde, lyke the hay vpon house toppes, that wythereth before it be growen vp ²⁸ I knowe thy wayes, thy going foorth, and thy commyng home, yea and thy madnesse agaynst me ²⁹ Therfore thy furiousnesse agaynst me, and thy pride is come before me, I wyll put my ryng in thy nose, and my bridle bit in the iawes of thee, and turne thee about euen the same way thou camest ³⁰ I wyll geue thee also this token [O Hezekia] this yere shalt thou eate such as groweth of it selfe, and the seconde yere that which spryngeth agayne of the same, & in the thirde yere ye shall sowe and reape, yea ye shall plant vineyardes, and enioy the fruites therof ³¹ And such of the house of Iuda as are escaped shall come together, and the remnaunt shall take roote beneath, and bryng foorth fruite aboue ³² For the escaped shall go out of Hierusalem, and the remnaunt from the mount Sion: and this shall the zeale of the Lorde of hoastes bryng to passe ³³ Therfore thus saith the Lorde concernyng the kyng of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this citie, and shall shoote no arrowe into it, there shall no shielde hurt it, neither shall they cast ditches about it ³⁴ The same way he came he shall returne, and not come at this citie, saith the Lorde ³⁵ And I wyll kepe and saue this citie [saith he] for myne owne and for my seruaunt Dauids sake ³⁶ Thus the angell of the Lorde went foorth, and slue of the Assyrians hoaste an hundred fourescore and fiue thousande: and when men arose vp early in the mornyng, beholde they were slayne, and all lay full of dead bodyes

²⁰ [I desired] also [to knowe the trueth] as touching the ten hornes that he had vpon his head, and this other which came vp afterwarde, before whose face there fell downe three, which horne had eyes and a mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, and loked with a grimmer visage then his felowes

³⁶ And a kyng shall do what hym list, he shall exalt and magnifie hym selfe against al that is God, yea he shal speake marueylous thinges against the God of Gods, and he shall prosper tyll the wrath be fulfilled: for the determination is made

¹³ Your wordes haue ben stout against me saith the lorde: and you saide, Wherein haue we spoken against thee ¹⁴ Ye haue saide: [it is but] vayne to serue God, and what profite [is it] that we haue kept his commaundement, & that we haue walked humbly before the face of the Lorde of hoastes ¹⁵ And nowe we call the proude happie: yea the workers of wickednesse are set vp, and also they that tempt God, yea they are deliuered

³¹ Wherfore, I say vnto you, all maner of sinne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men, but the blasphemy agaynst the spirite, shall not be forgeuen vnto men ³² And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen hym: But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy ghost, it shall not be forgeuen hym, neither in this worlde, neither in the worlde to come ³³ Either make the tree good, and his fruite good: or els make the tree euyll, and his fruite euyll. For the tree, is knowen by his fruite ³⁴ O generation of vipers, howe can ye speake good thynges, when ye your selues are euyll? For out of the aboundauce of the heart, the mouth speaketh ³⁵ A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bryngeth foorth good thynges: And an euyll man, out of euyll treasure, bryngeth foorth euyll thynges ³⁶ But I say vnto you, of euery idell worde that men shall speake, they shall geue accompt therof, in the day of iudgment ³⁷ For of thy wordes, thou shalt be iustified: and of thy wordes, thou shalt be condemned

²² Neither iudgeth the father any man: but hath committed all iudgement vnto the sonne ²³ Because that all men shoulde honour the sonne, euen as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not ye father which hath sent hym

²⁷ And hath geuen hym power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man

³¹ Because he hath appoynted a day in the which he wyll iudge the worlde in ryghteousnesse, by that man by whom he hath appoynted, and hath offered fayth to all men, in that he hath raysed hym from the dead

⁵ But thou after thy stubbernnesse and heart that can not repent, heapest vnto thy selfe wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and declaration of the righteous iudgement of God

¹⁶ At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christe, accordyng to my Gospell

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 ²⁰ Because that by the deedes of the lawe, there shall no flesshe be iustified in his syght. For by the lawe, commeth the knowledge of sinne

¹⁰ But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Either, why doest thou despise thy brother? We shalbe all brought before the iudgement seate of Christe

⁵ Therefore iudge nothyng before the tyme, vntyll the Lorde come, who wyl lyghten thynges that are hyd in darkenesse, & open the counsels of the heartes, and then shall euery man haue prayse of God

¹³ Them that are without God iudgeth. Put away from among you that wicked person

⁹ Knowyng this, that the lawe is not geuen vnto a ryghteous man, but vnto the lawlesse and disobedient, to the vngodly and to sinners, to vnholy and vncleane, to murtherers of fathers & murtherers of mothers, to manslears

⁶ And turned their cities of Sodome & Gomorrhe into asshes, ouerthrewe the, dampned them, and made of them an ensample vnto those that after shoulde lyue vngodly ⁷ And iust Lot, vexed with ye vncleane conuersatio of the wicked, deliuered he ⁸ For he beyng ryghteous, & dwellyng among them, in seyng and hearyng, vexed his ryghteous soule from daye to daye with their vnlawfull deedes ⁹ The Lorde knoweth howe to delyuer the godly out of temptation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement for to be punished

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complayners, walkyng after their owne lustes, whose mouthes speake proude thynges. They haue men in great reuerence because of aduantage

⁵ And there was geuen vnto hym a mouth, that spake great thynges and blasphemies, and power was geuen vnto hym, to do .xlij. monethes ⁶ And he opened his mouth vnto blasphemie agaynst God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heauen

¹¹ And I behelde another beast commyng vp out of the earth, and he had two hornes lyke a lambe, and he spake as dyd the dragon

²⁰ He which testifieth these thynges, sayth surely, I come quickly. Amen. Euen so, come Lorde Iesus

¹⁵ Ye shall do no vnrighteousnesse in iudgement, thou shalt not fauour the person poore, nor honour the person mightie, but in righteousnes shalt thou iudge thy neighbour

³⁶ And the men whiche Moyses sent to searche the lande, and whiche (when they came agayne) made all the people to murmure against hym, and brought vp a sclaunder vpon the lande

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lorde: And what is Aaron, that ye murmure agaynst hym

²⁷ And murmured in your tentes, and said: Because ye Lord hateth vs, therfore hath he brought vs out of the lande of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroy vs

⁴ For thou hast withholden their heartes from vnderstanding, therefore shalt thou not set [them] vp on hie ⁵ He that speaketh flatterie to his friend, the eyes of his children shall fayle

²¹ I will regarde no maner of person, no man will I spare

¹⁹ God hath no respect vnto the persons of the lordly, and regardeth not the riche more then the poore: for they be al the worke of his handes

⁴ He that dispiseth in his eyes the reprobate: and honoureth them that feare God. (15:5) He that hath sworne to his owne hurt: and yet wyll not go from his oth

¹⁰ They haue nowe compassed me on euery syde [where] our way [lyeth]: they toote with their eyes to ouerthrow [me] downe on the grounde

⁹ For they stretch foorth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the worlde ¹⁰ Therfore [God] his people turneth thither: and there is drawen vnto them waters in a full [cuppe. ¹¹ And they say, howe shoulde God perceaue it? is there knowledge in the most hyghest

²⁵ (106:24) But they murmured in their tentes: they would not hearken vnto the voyce of God

²¹ To haue respect of persons [in iudgement] is not good, for that man wyll do wrong, yea euen for a peece of bread

²⁴ They also that haue ben of an erronious spirite shall come to vnderstanding, and they that haue ben scornefull shall learne doctrine

³⁰ But they that were scribes and pharisees among them, murmured agaynst his disciples saying: Why do ye eate and drynke with publicanes and sinners

² And the pharisees & scribes murmured, saying: he receaueth sinners, and eateth with them

⁷ And when they al saw it, they murmured, saying that he was gone in to tary with a man that is a synner

⁴¹ The Iewes then murmured at him, because he sayde, I am the bread [of life] which came downe from heauen

⁶¹ Iesus knewe in hym selfe, that his disciples murmured at it, and he sayde vnto them, doth this offende you

¹⁰ Neither murmure ye, as some of the also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer

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

²⁴ They truely that are Christes, haue crucified the flesshe, with the affections and lustes

¹⁴ Do all thyng without murmuryng and disputyng

⁵ Uayne disputations of men of corrupte myndes, destitute of the trueth, thynkyng lucre to be godlynesse. From suche be thou separate

³ For the tyme wyll come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctrine: but after their owne lustes, shal they whose eares itche, get the an heape of teachers

¹⁴ But euery man is tempted, when he is drawen away, & entised of his owne concupiscence ¹⁵ Then, when lust hath conceaued, it bryngeth foorth sinne: and sinne when it is finished, bryngeth foorth death

¹ My brethren, haue not the fayth of our Lorde Iesus Christe, the Lord of glorie, with respect of persons ² For yf there come into your companie a man wearing a golde ryng, clothed in goodly apparell, and there come in also a poore man in vile rayment ³ And ye haue a respect to hym that weareth the gay clothyng, and say vnto hym, sitte thou here in a good place: & say vnto the poore, stande thou there, or sitte here vnder my footestoole ⁴ Are ye not partiall in your selues, and are made iudges of euyll thoughtes ⁵ Hearken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde, such as are riche in fayth, and heyres of the kyngdome, which he promised to them that loue hym ⁶ But ye haue despised the poore. Do not riche men oppresse you by tirannie, and drawe you before the iudgementes seates ⁷ Do not they blaspheme that good name by the which you are named ⁸ If ye fulfyll the royal lawe, according to the scripture, thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, ye do well ⁹ But yf ye regarde one person more then another, ye commit sinne, and are rebuked of the lawe, as transgressours

¹⁴ As obedient chyldren, not fashionyng your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignoraunce

¹¹ Dearely beloued, I beseche you as straugers and pilgrimes, abstaine from fleshly lustes, whiche fight agaynst the soule

² That he hence forwarde shoulde lyue, as much tyme as remayneth in ye fleshe, not after the lustes of men, but after the wyll of God

¹⁸ For when they haue spoken the great swellyng wordes of vanitie, they entice through lustes in the voluptuousnesse of the fleshe, them that were cleane escaped, from them whiche are wrapped in errour

³ This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the laste dayes mockers, whiche wyll walke after their owne lustes

¹⁸ Howe that they tolde you, that there shoulde be begilers in ye last tyme, which should walke after their owne vngodly lustes

⁴ Remember the lawe of Moyses my seruaunt, which I commaunded him in Horeb for all Israel, with the ordinaunces and iudgementes

³⁵ I haue shewed you all thinges, howe that so labouryng ye ought to receaue the weake, and to remember ye wordes of the Lorde Iesu, howe that he said, it is more blessed to geue, then to receaue

²⁰ And are built vpon the foundation of the apostles and prophetes, Iesus Christe hym selfe beyng the head corner stone

¹¹ And he gaue some apostles, and some prophetes, and some euangelistes, and some shepheardes and teachers

² By puttyng you in remembraunce, that ye may be myndfull of the wordes which were tolde before of the holy prophetes, and also the commaundement of vs, whiche be Apostles of the Lorde and sauiour

⁶ We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Hereby knowe we the spirite of veritie, and the spirite of errour

¹ The foole hath sayde in his heart there is no God: they haue corrupted [them selues] and done an abhominable worke, there is not one that doth good ² God loked downe from heauen vpon the children of men: to see yf there were any that did vnderstande [and] seke after the Lorde

²⁹ For I knowe this, that after my departyng, shall greeuous wolfes enter in among you, not sparyng the flocke

¹ Nowe the spirite speaketh euidently, that in the latter tymes some shall depart from the fayth, geuing heede vnto spirites of errour, & doctrines of deuyls ² Which speake false in hypocrisie, hauyng their conscience seared with an hotte iron

¹ This knowe also, that in the last dayes, perylous tymes shalbe at hande ² For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proude, blasphemers, disobedient to fathers and mothers, vnthankefull, vngodlye ³ Without naturall affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, riotous, fierce, despisers of them which are good ⁴ Traytours, headdy, hye mynded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God ⁵ Hauyng a fourme of godlynesse, but denying the power therof: turne away from these

¹ There were false prophetes also among the people, eue as there shalbe false teachers among you, whiche pryuyly shal bryng in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lorde that hath bought them, and bryng vpo them selues swyft damnation

¹ Who so hath an earnest desire [to wysdome] he will sequester him selfe to seeke it, and occupie him selfe in all stedfastnesse & sounde doctrine

⁵ If thou commest nye them, they say, touche me not, for I am holyer then thou: All these men when I am angry, shalbe turned to smoke and fire that shall burne for euer

⁷ For euery man, whether he be of the house of Israel, or a straunger that soiourneth in Israel, whiche departeth from me, and setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his wickednesse before his face, and commeth to a prophete for to aske counsell at me through hym: vnto that man wyll I the Lorde geue aunswere by mine owne selfe

¹⁴ I wyll not punishe your daughters for beyng defiled, and your spouses that became whoores: seeing the fathers them selues haue medled with harlots, and sacrificed with whoores: but the people that wyll not vnderstande, must be punished

¹⁰ I founde Israel like grapes in the wildernesse, & sawe their fathers as the first ripe in ye figge tree at her first season: but they went to Baal Peor, & seperated them selues to that shame, and became as abhominable as their louers

⁵ Iesus aunswered: Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto thee, except a man be borne of water and of the spirite, he can not enter into the kyngdome of God ⁶ That which is borne of the fleshe, is fleshe: and that which is borne of the spirite, is spirite

⁹ But ye are not in the fleshe, but in the spirite, yf so be that the spirite of God dwell in you. If any man haue not the spirite of Christe, the same is none of his

¹⁴ But the naturall man perceaueth not the thynges of ye spirite of God, for they are foolyshenesse vnto hym: Neither can he knowe [them] because they are spiritually discerned

¹⁹ Knowe ye not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost [whiche is] in you, whom ye haue of God, and ye are not your owne

²⁵ Not forsakyng the assemblyng of our selues together, as the maner of some [is] but exhortyng one (another) and so much the more, as ye see the day approchyng

¹⁵ For such wisdome descendeth not fro aboue: but is earthlie, sensuall, and deuelishe

¹⁰ Moreouer, vpon the house of Dauid & vpon the citezins of Hierusalem wyll I poure out the spirite of grace & compassion, so that they shall loke vpon me whom they haue pearsed, and they shal lamet for him as men mourne for their onely begotten sonne: yea, and be sory for him, as men are sory for their first childe

³¹ Then had the Churches rest throughout all Iurie, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified, and walked in the feare of the Lorde, & multiplied by the comfort of the holy ghost

⁹ And put no difference betwene vs and them, purifiyng their heartes by fayth

¹⁸ To open their eyes, that they may be turned from darknesse to lyght, & from the power of Satan vnto God, that they may receaue forgeuenes of sinnes, & inheritaunce among them which are sanctified by fayth that is towarde me

¹⁵ For ye haue not receaued the spirite of bondage agayne to feare: but ye haue receaued the spirite of adoption, wherby we cry, Abba, father

²⁶ Lykewyse, the spirite also helpeth our infirmities. For we knowe not what to desire as we ought: but ye spirite maketh great intercession for vs, with gronynges, which can not be expressed ²⁷ And he that searcheth the heartes, knoweth what is the meanyng of the spirite: for he maketh intercession for the saintes accordyng to the pleasure of God

² Let euery man please his neygbour, in that that is good to edifiyng

⁸ Whiche shall also strength you vnto the ende, that ye may be blamelesse in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ

²³ All thynges are lawfull for me, but all thynges are not expedient: All thynges are lawfull for me, but all thynges edifie not

⁴ He that speaketh with the tongue, edifieth hym selfe: he that prophesieth, edifieth the Churche ⁵ I woulde yt ye al spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: For greater is he that prophesieth, then he that speaketh with tongues, except he expounde it, that the Churche may haue edifiyng

¹⁵ What is it then? I wyll pray with the spirite, and wyll pray with the vnderstandyng also. I wyll syng with the spirite, and wyll syng with the vnderstandyng also

²⁶ Howe is it then brethren? When ye come together, euery one of you hath a psalme, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a reuelation, hath interpretation. Let all thynges be done vnto edifiyng

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

¹² To the gatheryng together of the saintes, into the worke of ministration, into the edifiyng of the body of Christe

¹⁶ In whom all the body beyng coupled and knit together by euery ioynt of subministration, accordyng to the effectuall power in ye measure of euery part, maketh increase of the body, vnto the edifiyng of it selfe in loue

²⁹ Let no fylthy communication procede out of your mouth, but that whiche is good to edifie withal, as oft as neede is, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers

¹⁸ Praying alwayes in all prayer and supplication in the spirite, and watche thervnto with all instaunce and supplication, for all saintes

⁷ Rooted and built in hym, & stablished in the fayth, as ye haue ben taught, aboundyng therin with thankes geuing

¹¹ Wherefore comfort your selues together, and edifie euery one another, euen as ye do

⁴ Neither geue heede to fables and endlesse genealogies, whiche breede questions, more then godly edifying which is in fayth ⁵ When I call to remembraunce the vnfaigned fayth that is in thee, whiche dwelt first in thy graundmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunica: and I am assured that [it dwelleth] in thee also

¹ Paul a seruaunt of God, & an Apostle of Iesus Christe, according to the fayth of Gods elect, & the knowledge of ye trueth, whiche is after godlynesse

²² Seest thou not, howe ye faith wrought with his deedes, and through ye deedes was the fayth made perfect

⁴ For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth the worlde. And this is the victorie that ouercommeth ye worlde, [euen] our fayth

³ Beloued, when I gaue all diligence to write vnto you of the common saluation, it was nedeful for me to write vnto you, to exhorte you, that ye shoulde earnestly contende for the fayth which was once geuen vnto the saintes

¹⁰ He that leadeth into captiuitie, shall go into captiuitie: He that kylleth with a sworde, must be kylled with a sworde. Here is the patience and the fayth of the saintes

¹⁴ May a dead man lyue againe? All the dayes of my lyfe wyll I wayte still, till my chaunging shall come

²⁵ O howe good is the Lord vnto them that put their trust in hym, and to the soule that seeketh after hym ²⁶ The good man with stilnesse and pacience, taryeth for the health of the Lorde

⁴² Watch therfore, for ye knowe not what houre your Lorde doth come ⁴³ Of this yet be sure, that yf the good man of the house, knewe what watche the thiefe woulde come, he woulde surely watche, and not suffer his house to be broken vp ⁴⁴ Therfore, be ye also redy: for in such an houre as ye thynke not, the sonne of man commeth ⁴⁵ Who is a faythfull and wise seruaunt, whom his Lorde hath made ruler ouer his householde, to geue them meate in season ⁴⁶ Blessed is that seruaunt, whom his Lorde when he commeth, shall fynde so doyng ⁴⁷ Ueryly I say vnto you, that he shall make hym ruler ouer all his goodes ⁴⁸ But and yf that euyll seruaunt say in his heart, my Lorde wyll be long a commyng ⁴⁹ And so begyn to smyte his felowes, yea, and to eate and drynke with the dronken ⁵⁰ The same seruauntes Lorde shall come in a day, when he loketh not for hym, and in an houre that he is not ware of ⁵¹ And shall hewe hym in peeces, & geue hym his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe wepyng and gnasshyng of teeth

³⁶ And ye your selues like vnto men, that wayte for their Lorde, when he wyll returne from the weddyng, that when he commeth, and knocketh, they maye open vnto hym immediatly ³⁷ Happy are those seruauntes, who the Lorde, when he commeth, shall fynde wakyng. Ueryly I say vnto you, that he shall girde him selfe, and make them to syt downe to meate, and wyll come foorth, and minister vnto them ³⁸ And yf he come in the seconde watche, yea if he come in the thirde watche, and fynde them so, happye are those seruauntes ³⁹ This vnderstande, that yf the good man of the house knew what houre the thiefe woulde come, he woulde surely watche, and not suffer his house to be dygged through ⁴⁰ Be ye therfore redy also, for ye sonne of man wyll come at an houre when ye thynke not

¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moyses: but grace and trueth came by Iesus Christe

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

⁹ As the father hath loued me, euen so haue I loued you: Continue ye in my loue 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

⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shedde abrode in our heartes by the holy ghost, which is geuen vnto vs

²¹ That as sinne hath raigned vnto death: euen so myght grace raigne thorowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde

²³ For the rewarde of sinne is death: but the gyft of God is eternall lyfe, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde

³⁹ Neither heygth nor deapth, neither any other creature, shalbe able to seperate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christe Iesu our Lorde

⁵ And the Lorde guyde your heartes to the loue of God, and to the pacient waytyng for Christe

² Unto Timothie a natural sonne in the faith: Grace, mercie [and] peace from God our father and Iesus Christe our Lorde

² To Timothie a beloued sonne: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the father, and Christe Iesus our Lorde

¹⁶ The Lorde geue mercie vnto ye house of Onesiphorus, for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chayne

¹⁸ The Lorde graunt vnto hym, that he may fynde mercie with the Lorde in that day: And in howe many thynges he ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well

⁸ Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghteousnesse, which the Lorde, the ryghteous iudge, shall geue me at that day: not to me only, but vnto the also yt haue loued his appearyng

¹³ Lokyng for that blessed hope and appearyng of the glorie of the great God, and our sauiour Iesus Christe ¹⁴ Which gaue hym selfe for vs, that he myght redeeme vs from all vnryghteousnesse, and pourge vs a peculier people vnto hym selfe, zelous of good workes

²⁸ Euen so, Christe once offered to take away the sinnes of many, the seconde time shalbe seene without sinne, of them which wayte for hym vnto saluation

¹² Lokyng for, and hastyng vnto the comyng of the day of God, by whom the heauens shall perishe with fire, and the elementes shall melt with heate

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

¹⁶ And we haue knowen and beleued the loue that God hath to vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in hym

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 ¹¹ And this is the recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, and this lyfe, is in his sonne

¹⁸ We knowe that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, kepeth hym selfe, and that wicked toucheth hym not

²¹ Babes kepe your selues from idols. Amen

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you free from sinne, and to present you faultlesse before the presence of his glory with ioy

¹⁷ And as for you O my sheepe, saith the Lorde God, I wyll iudge betweene cattaile & cattaile, betweene the rammes and the goates

²⁰ But I desire to be present with you nowe, and to chaunge my voyce: for I stande in doubt of you

¹ Brethren, yf a man be taken in any fault, ye which are spiritual restore such a one in the spirite of mekenes, consideryng thy selfe, lest thou also be tempted

¹⁹ Brethren, yf any of you do erre from the trueth, and another conuert hym ²⁰ Let the same knowe, that he which conuerteth the sinner from going astray out of his way, shall saue a soule from death, and shall hyde the multitude of sinnes

¹⁶ If any man see his brother sinne a sinne not vnto death, let hym aske, and he shal geue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it ¹⁷ All vnrighteousnes is sinne: and there is sinne vnto death ¹⁸ We knowe that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, kepeth hym selfe, and that wicked toucheth hym not

⁴ For there are certayne vngodly men craftily crept in, which were before of olde ordeyned to this condemnation: They turne the grace of our God vnto wantonnesse, and denye God which is the only Lorde, and our Lorde Iesus Christe ⁵ My mynde is therfore to put you in remembraunce: forasmuch as ye once knowe this, howe that the Lorde, after that he had delyuered the people out of Egypt, destroyed the which afterward beleued not ⁶ The Angels also which kept not their first estate, but left their owne habitation, he hath reserued in euerlastyng chaynes vnder darkenesse, vnto the iudgement of the great day ⁷ Euen as Sodome and Gomorrhe, and the cities about them, which in lyke maner defiled them selues with fornication, and folowed straunge fleshe, are set foorth for an ensample, and suffer the payne of eternall fyre ⁸ Lykewyse, these beyng deceaued by dreames, defyle the flesh, despise rulers, and speake euyll of them that are in aucthoritie ⁹ Yet Michael the Archangel, when he stroue agaynst the deuyll, and disputed about the body of Moyses, durst not geue raylyng sentence, but sayde, the Lorde rebuke thee ¹⁰ But these speake euyl of those thinges which they knowe not: & what thinges they know naturally, as beastes which are without reason, in those thynges they corrupt them selues ¹¹ Wo be vnto the, for they haue folowed the way of Cain, and are vtterly geuen to the errour of Balaam for lucres sake, and perishe in the gaynsaying of Core 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

⁴⁷ He also that sleepeth in the house, shal washe his clothes: he lykewyse that eateth in ye house, shall washe his clothes

¹⁷ And euery garment, and euery skinne wherin is such seede of sleepe, shalbe wasshed with water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen

⁶ We are all as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnesse are as tilthy ragges: we fal euerychone as the leafe, for our sinnes cary vs away lyke the winde

¹⁴ As blinde men went, they stumbling in the streetes, and stayned them selues with blood, insomuch that the heathen woulde in no wyse touche their garmentes

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

¹⁴ If by any meane I may prouoke the which are my fleshe, and myght saue some of them

¹⁵ If any mans worke burne, he shall suffer losse, but he shalbe safe hym selfe: neuertheles, yet as it were through fire

³ For I veryly, as absent in body, but present in spirite, haue determined alredie, as though I were present, concernyng hym that hath done this deede ⁴ In the name of our Lorde Iesus Christe, when ye are gathered together and my spirite, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Christe ⁵ To delyuer suche a one vnto Satan for the destruction of the flesshe, that the spirite may be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus

⁹ I wrote vnto you in an epistle, that ye should not companie with fornicatours ¹⁰ [And I meant] not at all with the fornicatours of this worlde, or with the couetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for then must ye needes haue gone out of the world ¹¹ But nowe I haue written vnto you, that ye companie not together, if any that is called a brother be a fornicatour, or couetous, or a worshipper of idols, or a rayler, or a drunkarde, or an extortioner: with him that is such [see that ye] eate not

³³ Be not deceaued. Euyll wordes, corrupt good maners

¹⁰ For godly sorowe, causeth repentaunce vnto saluatio, not to be repented of: but the sorowe of the world causeth death ¹¹ For beholde this thing, what carefulnesse this godly sorow that ye toke, hath wrought in you: yea [what] clearing of your selues, yea [what] indignation, yea [what] feare, yea [what] vehemet desire, yea [what] zeale, yea [what] punishment. For in all thynges ye haue shewed your selues that ye were cleare in ye matter ¹² Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I dyd it not for his cause that had done the hurt, neither for his cause that was hurt: but that your good minde to vswarde myght appeare among you in the syght of God

¹⁴ Yf any man obey not our doctrine, signifie hym by an epistle, and haue no companie with hym, that he maye be ashamed

¹⁶ Take heede vnto thy selfe, and vnto doctrine, and continue therein: For in doying this, thou shalt both saue thy selfe, and them that heare thee

⁴ Thou hast a fewe names in Sardis, which haue not defiled their garmetes, and they shall walke with me in white, for they are worthie

¹⁸ I counsel thee to bye of me gold tryed in the fyre, that thou mayest be riche, and whyte rayment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy fylthie nakednesse do not appeare, and annoynt thyne eyes with eye salue, that thou mayest see

⁴ And I wyll go vnto the aulter of the Lorde, euen vnto the Lorde of my ioy & gladnesse: and vpon the harpe I will acknowledge thee O Lorde my Lord

¹² Reioyce, and be glad: for great is your rewarde in heauen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, whiche were before you

²⁸ Iesus sayde vnto them: veryly I say vnto you, that when the sonne of man shall syt in the throne of his maiestie, ye that haue folowed me in the regeneration, shall syt also vpon twelue seates, and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel

²⁶ For whosoeuer shalbe ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of hym shall the sonne of man be ashamed, whe he commeth in his maiestie, and in the maiestie of his father, and of the holy angels

³¹ What shall we then say to these thynges? If God be on our syde, who can be agaynst vs

⁴ What art thou that iudgest another mans seruaunt? To his owne maister he standeth or falleth: Yea, he shalbe holden vp. For god is able to make him stande

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 ²⁷ To [the same] God, wyse only, be glorie, through Iesus Christe, for euer.
