³¹ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buryed besyde his fathers in the citie of Dauid: His mothers name was Naama, an Ammonite. And Abiam his sonne raigned in his steade

⁸ And Abiam slept with his fathers, & they buried him in the citie of Dauid: and Asa his sonne raigned in his steade ⁹ In the twentith yere of Ieroboam king of Israel raigned Asa ouer Iuda ¹⁰ Fourtie & one yeres raigned he in Hierusalem: and his mothers name was Maacha, the daughter of Abisalom ¹¹ And Asa did [that seemed] ryght in the eyes of the Lorde, as did Dauid his father ¹² And he toke away the male stewes out of the lande, and put away all the abhominable idols that his fathers had made ¹³ And he put downe Maacha his mother from bearing rule, because she had made an idoll in a groue: And Asa destroyed her idoll, and burnt it by the brooke Cedron ¹⁴ But the hie places were not put downe: Neuerthelesse Asa his heart was perfect with the Lorde all his dayes ¹⁵ He brought in the holy vessels of his father, and that he had dedicate vnto the house of the Lord, golde, and siluer, and iewels ¹⁶ And there was warre betweene Asa, & Baasa king of Israel all their dayes ¹⁷ And Baasa king of Israel went vp against Iuda, and built Rama, so that he woulde let none go out or in to Asa king of Iuda ¹⁸ Then Asa toke al the siluer and golde that was left in the treasures of the house of the Lorde, and the treasures of the kinges house, and deliuered them vnto the handes of his seruauntes, and king Asa sent them to Benhadad the sonne of Tabrimon the sonne of Hezion king of Syria that dwelt at Damasco, saying ¹⁹ There is a bonde betweene me & thee, betweene my father and thy father: and beholde I haue sent vnto thee a present of siluer and golde, that thou come and breake the bonde that thou hast with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me ²⁰ So Benhadad hearkened vnto king Asa, & sent the captaynes of the hoastes which he had, against the cities of Israel, and smote Hion, and Dan, and Abel, Beth Maacah, and all [the region of] Ceneroth, with all the lande of Nephthali ²¹ And when Baasa heard thereof, he left building of Rama, and dwelt in Thirza ²² Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Iuda, that none should be excused: And so they toke the stones of Ramah and the tymber wherewith Baasa had builded, and king Asa built with them the hill of Beniamin and Mispah ²³ The remnaunt of all the wordes that concerne Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he builded, are they not written in the booke of the cronicles of the kinges of Iuda?

And they sayde, Go vp: for the Lorde shall deliuer it into the handes of the king ⁷ And Iehosaphat sayd: Is there here neuer a prophete of the Lord more, that we might inquire of him 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 ⁹ Then the king of Israel called a chamberlayne, & sayde: Fet Michea the sonne of Iimla hyther at once ¹⁰ And the king of Israel, and Iehosaphat the king of Iuda, sate eyther in his seate, and their apparell on them, in a voyde place besyde the entring in of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophetes prophecied before them ¹¹ And Zedekia the sonne of Chanaana made hornes of iron, and sayde, thus sayth the Lord: With these [hornes] shalt thou pushe the Syrians, vntill thou haue made an ende of them ¹² And all the prophetes prophecied euen so, saying: Go vp to Ramoth [in] Gilead, and prosper: for the Lorde shall deliuer it into the kinges hande ¹³ And the messenger that was gone to cal Michea, spake vnto him, saying: Beholde, the wordes of ye prophetes speake good vnto the king with one mouth: Let thy worde therefore I pray thee, be lyke the worde of euery one of them, to speake that whiche is good ¹⁴ And Michea sayde: As the Lorde lyueth, whatsoeuer the Lord sayth vnto me, that will I speake ¹⁵ And so he came to the king, & the king sayd vnto him: Michea, ought we to go against Ramoth [in] Gilead to battayle, or to be stil? He aunswered to him: Go, and prosper, the Lorde shall deliuer it into the hande of the king ¹⁶ And the king sayde vnto him: So and so many times do I charge thee that thou tell me nothing but that whiche is true, in the name of the Lorde ¹⁷ He sayd: I saw all them of Israel scattered vpon the hilles, as sheepe that haue not a sheephearde. And the Lorde sayde: These haue no maister, let euery man returne to his house in peace ¹⁸ (And the king of Israel sayde vnto Iehosaphat: Dyd I not tell thee, that he woulde prophecie no good vnto me, but euyll? ¹⁹ And he sayd againe: Heare thou therefore the word of the Lorde. I sawe the Lord sit on his seate, and all the hoast of heauen stoode about him on his right hande and on his left ²⁰ And the Lorde sayde: Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go and fall at Ramoth [in] Gilead?

He sayde, Thou shalt persuade him and preuayle: Go foorth then, & do euen so ²³ Nowe therefore beholde the Lorde hath put a lying spirite in the mouth of all these thy prophetes, and the Lorde hath spoken euyll towarde thee ²⁴ But Zedekia the sonne of Chanaana went to & smote Michea on the cheke, and sayde: When went the spirite of the Lorde from me, to speake vnto thee ²⁵ And Michea sayde: Behold, thou shalt see in that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hyde thee ²⁶ And the king of Israel sayde: Take Michea and cary him vnto Amon the gouerner of the citie, and vnto Ioas the kinges sonne ²⁷ And say: Thus sayeth ye king: Put this felow in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction, and with water of trouble, vntill I returne in peace ²⁸ And Michea sayde: If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he sayde: Hearken ye people euery one of you ²⁹ And so the king of Israel, and Iehosaphat the king of Iuda, went vp to Ramoth [in] Gilead ³⁰ And the king of Israel sayde vnto Iehosaphat: I wil chaunge my apparell, and will enter into the battel, but put thou on thyne apparell.

But Iehosaphat woulde not ⁵⁰ And Iehosaphat dyd sleepe with his fathers, & was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father: And Iehoram his sonne raigned in his steade

¹ Now Iehoram the sonne of Ahab began to raigne vpon Israel in Samaria the eyghtteenth yere of Iehosaphat king of Iuda, and raigned twelue yeres

¹⁶ And he saide: At this tyme appoynted, according to the tyme of lyfe, thou shalt imbrace a sonne.

¹¹ But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and saide: Beholde, I thought with my selfe, he would surely come out, and stande and call on the name of the Lord his god, & put his hand on the place, that he may heale the leprosie ¹² Are not Abana and Pharphar riuers of Damasco, better then all the waters of Israel? If I washe me also in them, shal I not be cleansed? And so he turned him, and departed with displeasure ¹³ And his seruauntes came, and communed with him, and saide: Father, if the prophet had byd thee do some great thing, oughtest thou not to haue done it? How much rather then when he saith to thee, washe, and be cleane ¹⁴ Then went he downe, & washed him selfe seuen tymes in Iordane, according to the saying of the man of God, and his fleshe came againe lyke vnto the fleshe of a litle childe, and he was cleansed

¹ So Abia slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne raigned in his steade, in whose dayes the lande was in quietnesse ten yeres ² And Asa did that was good & right in the eyes of the Lorde his God ³ For he toke away straunge aulters and the high places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues ⁴ And commaunded Iuda to seeke the Lorde God of their fathers, and to do according to the lawe and commaundement ⁵ And he put away out of all the cities of Iuda the high places & the images: & the kingdome was quiet before him ⁶ And he built strong cities in Iuda, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeres: for the Lorde had geuen him rest ⁷ Therefore he saide vnto Iuda: let vs builde these cities, & make about them walles, towres, gates, and barres, for the lande is yet in rest before vs: because we haue sought the Lorde our God, we haue sought him, and he hath geuen vs rest on euery side. And so they built, and it prospered with them ⁸ And Asa had an armie of men that bare shieldes and speares out of Iuda three hundred thousand, & out of Beniamin that bare shieldes & drewe bowes two hundred and fourescore thousand: all these were valiaunt men ⁹ And there came out against them Zarah the blacke Morian with an hoast of ten hundred thousand, & three hundred charettes, & came as farre as Maresa ¹⁰ And Asa went out before him, and they ioyned the battaile in the valley of Zephata, beside Maresa ¹¹ And Asa cryed vnto the Lorde his God, and saide: Lorde, it is no harde thing with thee to helpe with many or them that haue no power: Helpe vs therfore O Lorde our God, for we trust to thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude: Thou art the Lord our God, and no man shall preuaile against thee ¹² So the Lord smote the blacke Moores before Asa and Iuda, and the blacke Moores fled ¹³ And Asa & the people that was with him, folowed after them vnto Gerar: And the blacke Moores hoast was ouerthrowen, that there was none of them left, but were destroyed before the Lord and before his hoast: And they caryed away a mightie great pray ¹⁴ And they smote all the cities rounde about Gerar, for the feare of the Lorde came vpon them: And they spoyled all the cities, & there was exceeding much spoyle in them ¹⁵ They smote also the tentes of cattaile, and caryed away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Hierusalem

¹ And Iehosaphat his sonne raigned in his steade, and preuailed against Israel ² And he put souldiers in all the strong cities of Iuda, and set rulers in the lande of Iuda, and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had wonne ³ And the Lorde was with Iehosaphat, because he walked in the olde wayes of his father Dauid, and sought not Baalim ⁴ But sought the Lorde God of his father, and walked in his commaundementes, and not after the doinges of Israel ⁵ And the Lorde stablished the kingdome in his hande, & all they that were in Iuda brought him presentes, so that he had aboundaunce of richesse and honour ⁶ And he lyft vp his heart vnto the wayes of the Lorde, and he put downe yet more of the high places and groues out of Iuda ⁷ In the third yere of his raigne he sent to his lordes, euen to Benhail, Obadia, Zacharia, Nethanel, and to Michaiahu, that they shoulde teache in the cities of Iuda ⁸ And with them he sent Leuites, euen Semeiahu, Nethaniahu, Zebadiahu, Asael, Semiramoth, Iehonathan, Adoniahu, Tobiahu, & Tob adoniahu, & with them Elisama, and Iehoram, priestes ⁹ And they taught in Iuda, and had the booke of the lawe of God with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Iuda, and taught the people ¹⁰ And the feare of the Lorde fell vpon all the kingdomes of the landes that were rounde about Iuda, and they fought not against Iehosaphat ¹¹ And some of the Philistines brought Iehosaphat giftes, and tribute siluer, and therto the Arabians brought him cattaile, euen seuen thousand and seuen hundred rammes, and seuen thousand and seuen hundred hee goates ¹² And so Iehosaphat prospered, and grew vp an hie: And he built in Iuda castels and cities of store ¹³ And he had great substaunce in the cities of Iuda: but the men of armes and strongest souldiers were in Hierusalem ¹⁴ And these are the offices of them in the house of their fathers: the captaines ouer thousandes in Iuda, Adna the captayne, and with him of fighting men three hundred thousand ¹⁵ And next to his hand was Iehohanan a captayne, and with him two hundred and fourescore thousand ¹⁶ And next him was Amazia the sonne of Zichri, which of his owne good wyll offered him selfe vnto the Lorde, and with him two hundred thousand mightie men of warre ¹⁷ And of the children of Beniamin, Eliada a man of might, and with him armed men with bowe and shielde two hundred thousand ¹⁸ And next him was Iehosabad, and with him an hundred and fourescore thousand, that were prepared for the warre ¹⁹ These wayted on the king, besides those which the king put in the strong cities throughout all Iuda

¹ Iehosaphat also slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: and Iehoram his sonne raigned in his steade

¹ Then all the people of Iuda toke Uzzia, which was sixteene yeres olde, & made him king in the roome of his father Amaziahu ² And he built Eloth, and brought it againe to Iuda, after that the king was layde to sleepe with his fathers ³ Sixteene yeres olde was Uzzia when he began to raigne, and he raigned fiftie and two yeres in Hierusalem: His mothers name also was Iecholia, of Hierusalem ⁴ And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde, according to all as did his father Amaziahu ⁵ And [it came to passe that] he sought God in the dayes of Zachariahu, who had vnderstanding in the visions of God: And as long as he sought the Lorde, God made him to prosper ⁶ And he went to battaile against the Philistines, and brake downe the wall of Geth, and the wall of Iabne, and the wall of Asdod, & built cities about Asdod and among the Philistines ⁷ And God holpe him against the Philistines and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur baal and Hamehunim ⁸ And the Ammonites gaue tribute to Uzzia, & his name spread abrode euen to the entring in of Egypt: for he played the man exceedingly ⁹ Moreouer, Uzzia built towres in Hierusalem by the corner gate, and by the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and made them strong ¹⁰ And he built towres in the wildernesse, and digged many welles: For he had much cattaile in the valleyes & playnes, plowmen and vinedressers in the mountaines and in Charmel: for he loued husbandry ¹¹ And Uzzia had an hoast of fighting men, that went out to warre in the armie, according to the number of their office, vnder the hande of Ieiel the scribe, and Maasiahu the ruler, and vnder the hand of Hananiahu, which was one of the kinges lordes ¹² And the whole number of the auncient fathers and of the men of might, were two thousand and sixe hundred ¹³ And vnder the hand of them was the armie of the men of warre, euen three hundred and seuen thousand, and fiue hundred that made warre with the power of an armie, helping the king against the enemies ¹⁴ And Uzzia prouided them throughout all the hoast, shieldes, speares, helmets, haberginnes, bowes, and slinges for to cast stones ¹⁵ And he made subtyll engins in Hierusalem, which he inuented and layed on the towres and corners, to shoote arrowes and great stones withall: And his name spread farre abrode, because he had prepared to him selfe marueylous strength ¹⁶ But in his strength his heart arose to his destruction: For he transgressed against the Lorde his God, and went into the temple of the Lorde to burne incense vpon the aulter of incense ¹⁷ And Azariahu the priest went in after him, and with him fourescore priestes of the Lorde, that were valiaunt men ¹⁸ And they stoode by Uzzia the king, and saide vnto him: It parteyneth not to thee Uzzia to burne incense vnto the Lorde, but to the priestes the children of Aaron, that are consecrated for to offer incense: Come therfore out of the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and it is no worship to thee before the Lorde God ¹⁹ And Uzzia was wroth, & had incense in his hande to burne it, and so while he had indignation against the priestes, the leprosie sprang in his forehead before the priestes in the house of the Lorde, euen beside the incense aulter ²⁰ And Azariahu the chiefe priest, with al the other priestes, loked vpon him, and beholde he was become a leaper in his forehead, and they vexed him thence: and he was fayne to go out, because the Lorde had smytten him ²¹ And Uzzia the king continued a leper vnto the day of his death, & dwelt seuerall in an house being a leper and shut out of the house of the Lorde: and Iotham his sonne had the gouernauce of the kinges house, and iudged the people of the lande

²¹ And Uzzia the king continued a leper vnto the day of his death, & dwelt seuerall in an house being a leper and shut out of the house of the Lorde: and Iotham his sonne had the gouernauce of the kinges house, and iudged the people of the lande ²² The rest of the actes of Uzzia first and last, did Isai the prophete the sonne of Amos write ²³ And so Uzzia slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the fielde of the buriall which was beside the sepulchres of the kinges: for they saide, he is a leper: And Iotham his sonne raigned in his steade

¹ Iotham was fiue and twentie yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned sixteene yeres in Hierusalem: His mothers name also was Ierusa, the daughter of Zadoc ² And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde, in all poyntes as did his father Uzzia, saue that he came not into the temple of the Lorde: and the people did yet wickedly ³ He built the hie gate of the temple of the Lorde, and on the wall (where the house of ordinauce was) he built much ⁴ Moreouer, he built cities in the mountaines of Iuda, and in the wood countrey he built castels and towres ⁵ He fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and preuailed against them: And the children of Ammon gaue him the same yere an hundred talentes of siluer, & ten thousand quarters of wheate, and ten thousand of barlye: So much did the children of Ammon geue him the second yere, and the third also ⁶ So Iotham became mightie, because he directed his way before the Lorde his God ⁷ The rest of the actes of Iotham, and all his warres, & his conuersation, loe they are written in the booke of the kinges of Israel and Iuda ⁸ He was twentie and fiue yeres olde when he began to raigne, and raigned sixteene yeres in Hierusalem ⁹ And Iotham slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid: and Ahaz his sonne raigned in his steade

¹ Ahaz was twentie yeres olde when he began to raigne, and raigned sixteene yeres in Hierusalem, and he did not that which is right in the sight of the Lorde, as did his father Dauid ² For he walked in the wayes of the kinges of Israel, & made moulten images for Baalim ³ He offered incense in the valley of the sonne of Hinnon, and burnt his children in fire, after the abhominations of the heathen whom the Lorde cast out before the children of Israel ⁴ He offered also and burnt incense in the high places, and on mountaynes, and vnder euery greene tree ⁵ Wherefore the Lorde his God delyuered him into the hande of the king of the Syrians, which beat him, and caryed away a great multitude of his captiue, and brought them to Damascon: And he was deliuered into the hand of the king of Israel, which smote him with a great slaughter ⁶ For Pekah the sonne of Remaliahu slue in Iuda an hundred and twentie thousand in one day, which were all fighting men: and that because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers ⁷ And Zichri a mightie man of Ephraim slue Maasiahu the kinges sonne, and Africa the gouernour of the house, and Elcana that was next to the king ⁸ And the children of Israel toke prisoners of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sonnes, and daughters, and caryed away much spoyle of them, and brought the spoyle to Samaria ⁹ But there was a prophet of the Lordes, whose name was Obed: and he went out before the hoast that came to Samaria, & saide vnto them: Beholde, because the Lorde God of your fathers is wroth with Iuda, he hath deliuered them into your hande, and ye haue slaine them with cruelnesse, that reacheth vp to heauen ¹⁰ And nowe ye purpose to keepe vnder the children of Iuda and Hierusalem, and to make them bondmen and bondwomen: And do ye not lade your selues with sinne in the sight of the Lord your God ¹¹ Now heare me therefore, and deliuer the captiues againe which ye haue taken of your brethren: for els shall the great wrath of God be vpon you ¹² Wherfore certayne of the heads of the children of Ephraim, as Azariahu the sonne of Iehohanan, Berechiahu the sonne of Mesillemoth, and Iehezkiahu the sonne of Sallum, & Amasa the sonne of Hadlai, stoode vp against them that came from the warre ¹³ And saide vnto them, Bryng not in the captiues hither: for where as we haue offended toward God alredy, ye entende to adde more to our sinnes and trespasse: For our trespasse is great alredie, and there is a fierce wrath against Israel ¹⁴ And vpon that, the men of armes left the captiues and the spoyle before the lordes and all the congregation ¹⁵ And the men that were now rehearsed by name, rose vp, and toke the prisoners, and with the spoyle clothed all that were naked among them, & arayed them, & shoed them, and gaue them to eate and to drinke, and annoynted them, and carryed al that were feeble of them vpon asses, & brought them to Iericho the citie of Paulme trees, to their brethren: and then they returned to Samaria againe ¹⁶ At that same time did king Ahaz send vnto the kinges of the Assyrians, to haue helpe of them ¹⁷ And the Edomites came againe, and slue some of Iuda, and caryed away captiues ¹⁸ And the Philistines inuaded the cities in the lowe countrey, and toward the south of Iuda: and toke Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gederoth, and Socho with the townes longing thereto, and Thimna with the townes of the same, Gimso and the townes thereof, and dwelt there ¹⁹ For the Lorde brought Iuda lowe, because of Ahaz king of Iuda, which made Iuda naked, & transgressed sore against the Lorde ²⁰ And Thilgath Pilneser king of the Assyrians came vpon him, and troubled him rather then strengthed him ²¹ For Ahaz toke away a portion out of the house of the Lorde, and out of the kinges house, and out of the lordes houses, and gaue vnto the king of the Assyrians: and yet it helped him not ²² And in the very time of his tribulation, did king Ahaz trespasse yet more against the Lorde ²³ For he offered vnto the gods of them of Damascon, which beat him: and he sayd, Because the gods of the kinges of Syria helpe them, therefore wyll I offer to them, that they may helpe me also: But they were his destruction, and the destruction of all Israel ²⁴ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, & brake them, and shut vp the doores of the house of the Lorde, and made him aulters in euery corner of Hierusalem ²⁵ And in all the cities of Iuda he made high places to burne incense vnto other gods, and angred the Lorde God of his fathers ²⁶ The rest of his actes, and his workes first and last, beholde they are written in the booke of the kinges of Iuda and Israel ²⁷ And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Hierusalem: but brought him not vnto the sepulchres of the kinges of Israel: and Hezekia his sonne raigned in his steade

¹ Hezekia began to raigne when he was fiue and twentie yeres olde, and he raigned nine & twentie yeres in Hierusalem: And his mothers name was Abia, the daughter of Zachariahu ² And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde, in all poyntes as did Dauid his father ³ He opened the doores of the house of the Lorde in the first yere and first moneth of his raigne, and repaired them ⁴ And he brought in the priestes and the Leuites, and gathered them together into the east streate ⁵ And saide vnto them: Heare me ye Leuites, and now be sanctified and halow the house of the Lorde God of your fathers, bring filthynesse out of the holy place ⁶ For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lorde our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backes on it ⁷ And beside that, they haue shut vp the doores of the porche, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offered burnt offringes in the holy place vnto the God of Israel ⁸ Wherefore the wrath of the Lorde fell on Iuda & Hierusalem, and he hath brought them to trouble to be wondred on, & to be hissed at, euen as ye see with your eyes ⁹ For loe, our fathers were ouerthrowen with the sword, and our sonnes, our daughters, and our wyues were caried away captiue for the same cause ¹⁰ And now it is in myne heart to make a couenaunt with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his heauy indignation from vs ¹¹ Now therefore my sonnes, be not negligent: for the Lorde hath chosen you to stande before him, and for to minister and serue him, and to burne incense ¹² Then the Leuites arose, Mahath the sonne of Amasai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariahu of the children of the Caathites: And of the sonnes of Merari, Cis the sonne of Abdi, and Azariahu the sonne of Iahalelel: And of ye sonnes of the Gersonites, Ioah the sonne of Simma, and Eden the sonne of Ioah ¹³ And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Simri and Iehiel: And of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariahu and Matthaniahu ¹⁴ And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Simei: And of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Semaia and Uzziel ¹⁵ And they gathered their brethren, and purified them selues, and came according to the commaundement of the king and the wordes of the Lord for to clense the house of the Lorde ¹⁶ And the priestes went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord to clense it, and brought out all the vnclennesse that they founde in the temple of the Lorde, into the court of the house of the Lorde: And the Leuites toke it, to cary it out into the brooke Cedron ¹⁷ They began the first day of the first moneth to purifie, and the eyght day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lorde: So they sanctified the house of the Lorde in eyght dayes, and in the sixteenth day of the first moneth they made an end ¹⁸ And they went in to Hezekia the king, and saide: We haue clensed all the house of the Lorde, the aulter of burnt offring with all his vessels, and the shew bread table with all his apparell ¹⁹ And all the vessels which king Ahaz did cast aside, when he raigned, & transgressed, them we haue prepared and sanctified, and beholde they are before the aulter of the Lorde ²⁰ And Hezekia the king rose earlye, and gathered the lordes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lorde ²¹ And they brought seuen oxen, seuen rammes, seuen sheepe, and seuen hee goates, to be a sinne offring for the kingdome, for the sanctuary, and for Iuda: And he commaunded the priestes the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the aulter of the Lorde ²² And they slue the oxen, and the priestes receaued the blood and sprinckled it on the aulter: likewyse when they had slaine the rammes, they sprinckled the blood vpon the aulter: They slue also the sheepe, and they sprinckled the blood vpon the aulter ²³ And then they brought foorth the hee goates for the sinne offering before the king and the congregation, & put their handes vpon them ²⁴ And the priestes slue them, and with the blood of them they clensed the aulter, to make satisfaction for all Israel: for the king comaunded that the burnt offering and the sinne offering shoulde be made for all Israel ²⁵ And set the Leuites in the house of the Lorde with cymbales, psalteries, and harpes, according to the commaundement of Dauid and of Gad the kinges sear, and Nathan the prophete: For so was the commaundement of the Lord through the hande of his prophetes ²⁶ And the Leuites stoode, hauing the instrumentes of Dauid: and the priestes helde the trumpettes ²⁷ And Hezekia commaunded to offer the burnt offring vpon the aulter: And when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lorde began also, and the trumpettes, with the instrumentes that were ordayned by the hand of Dauid king of Israel ²⁸ And all the congregation worshipped, singing a song, and blowyng with the trumpettes, and all this [continued] vntill the burnt offring was finished ²⁹ And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him, bowed them selues, and worshipped ³⁰ And Hezekia the king and the lordes, spake to the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid & of Asaph the sear: And they sang prayses with gladnesse, and the other bowed them selues, and worshipped ³¹ And Hezekia aunswered, and saide: Now ye haue consecrated your handes to the Lorde: go to therefore, and bryng the sacrifices and thanke offeringes into the house of the Lorde. And the congregation brought in the sacrifices & thank offeringes, and burnt offringes, as many as were of a free liberall heart ³² And the number of the burnt offringes which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten oxen, an hundred rammes, & two hundred sheepe: which were all for the burnt offering of the Lorde

³³ And Hezekia slept with his fathers, and they buried hym in the most worthy place of the sepulchres of the sonnes of Dauid, and all Iuda and the inhabiters of Hierusalem dyd him worship at his death: and Manasse his sonne raigned in his steade

¹ And the people of the lande toke Iehoahaz the sonne of Iosia, and made hym king in his fathers steade in Hierusalem ² And Iehoahaz was twentie & three yeres olde when he began to raigne, and he raigned three monethes in Hierusalem ³ And the king of Egypt put him downe at Hierusalem, and merced the lande in an hundreth talentes of siluer, and a talent of golde ⁴ And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king vpon Iuda and Hierusalem, and turned his name to Iehoiacim: and Necho toke Iehoahaz his brother, and caried him to Egypt ⁵ Iehoiacim was twentie and fiue yeres old when he began to raigne, & he raigned aleuen yeres in Hierusalem, and he did euil in the sight of the Lord his God ⁶ Against him came vp Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and bounde hym with two chaynes, to cary him to Babylon ⁷ The king Nabuchodonosor also caried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon ⁸ The rest of the actes of Iehoiacim, and his abhominations which he did, and that which was found vpon him, behold they are written in the booke of the kinges of Israel and Iuda: and Iehoiacin his sonne raigned in his steade

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

²² For these be the dayes of vengeaunce, that all thinges which are written, may be fulfylled

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

¹⁴ And the same word became fleshe, and dwelt among vs ( and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the only begotten sonne of the father) full of grace and trueth

²⁹ The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto hym, and saith, beholde the lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the worlde

⁴¹ The same founde his brother Simon first, and sayth vnto hym: We haue founde Messias, which is by interpretation, the annoynted

⁵ His mother sayth vnto the ministers: Whatsoeuer he sayth vnto you, do it ⁶ And there were set there, sixe water pottes of stone, after the maner of the purifiyng of the Iewes, conteynyng two or three firkins a peece ⁷ Iesus sayth vnto them: fyll the water pottes with water. And they fylled them vp to the brym ⁸ And he sayth vnto them: drawe out nowe, and beare vnto the gouernour of feast. And they bare it

²⁵ The woman sayth vnto hym, I wote that Messias shal come, which is called Christe: when he is come, he wyll tell vs all thynges

⁴² Sayth not the scripture, that Christe shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethlehem, where Dauid was

⁴ They sayde vnto hym: Maister, this woman was taken in adulterie, euen as the deede was a doyng ⁵ Moyses in the lawe commaunded vs that suche shoulde be stoned: But what sayest thou

³⁵ If he called them Gods, vnto whom the worde of God was spoken, and the scripture can not be broken

³⁸ That the saying of Esaias the prophete myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lorde, who shall beleue our saying?

¹⁴ Ye are my frendes, yf ye do whatsoeuer I commaunde you

²⁵ But [this commeth to passe,] that the worde myght be fulfylled, that is written in their lawe: They hated me without a cause

¹² Whyle I was with them in ye worlde, I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but that lost chylde, that the scripture myght be fulfylled

⁹ That the saying myght be fulfylled which he spake: Of them which thou gauest me, haue I not lost one

³⁶ For these thynges were done, that the scripture shoulde be fulfylled: Ye shall not breake a bone of hym ³⁷ And agayne another scripture saith: They shall loke on hym whom they pearsed

³⁰ Therfore, seeyng he was a prophete, and knewe that God had sworne with an oth to hym, that Christe, as concernyng the fleshe, should come of the fruite of his loynes, & should syt on his seate

¹⁸ But those thynges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophetes, that Christe shoulde suffer, he hath so fulfylled

²⁶ Unto you first, God hath raysed vp his sonne Iesus, and hath sent hym to blesse you, in turnyng euery one of you from his iniquities

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

³¹ Hym hath God lyft vp with his ryght hande, to be a prince and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israel, and forgeuenesse of sinnes

⁸ And he gaue hym the couenaunt of circumcision: And he begate Isaac, and circumcised hym the eyght day, and Isaac [begate] Iacob, and Iacob [begate] the twelue patriarkes

³⁸ Be it knowen vnto you therfore, ye men & brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgeuenesse of sinnes ³⁹ And that by hym, all that beleue, are iustified from all thynges, from which ye coulde not be iustified by the lawe of Moyses

⁹ Then spake the Lorde to Paul in the nyght by a vision: Be not afrayde, but speake, and holde not thy peace

³ Of his sonne, which was made of the seede of Dauid after the fleshe

³ Of his sonne, which was made of the seede of Dauid after the fleshe ⁴ And hath ben declared to be the sonne of God, with power after the spirite that sanctifieth, by the resurrectio from the dead, of Iesus Christe our Lorde

¹³ For the promise that he shoulde be the heyre of the worlde, [was] not to Abraham or to his seede through the lawe, but through the ryghteousnes of fayth

³ For what the lawe coulde not do, in as much as it was weake through the fleshe, God sendyng his owne sonne, in the similitude of sinfull fleshe, euen by sinne, condempned sinne in the fleshe

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also dyd predestinate, that they shoulde be lyke fashioned vnto the shape of his sonne, that he myght be ye first begotten among many brethren

⁵ Of whom are the fathers, of whom as concernyng the fleshe, Christe [came,] which is God, in all thynges to be praysed for euer. Amen

⁷ Neither are they all chyldren that are the seede of Abraham: But in Isaac shall thy seede be called ⁸ That is to say: They which are the chyldren of the fleshe, are not the chyldren of God: But they which be the childre of promise, are counted the seede ⁹ For this is a worde of promise: About this tyme wyll I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne ¹⁰ Not only this, but also Rebecca was with chylde by one [euen] by our father Isaac 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

¹⁹ For God was in Christe, reconciling the worlde to hym selfe, not imputyng their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the preachyng of the atonement

¹⁶ To Abraham and his seede were the promises made. He sayth not to the seedes, as of many: but to thy seede, as of one, which is Christe

⁴ But when the fulnesse of the tyme was come, God sent his sonne, made of a woman, and made vnder the lawe ⁵ To redeeme them that were vnder the lawe, that we myght receaue the adoption of chyldren

²⁵ Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it ²⁶ To sanctifie it, clensyng [it] in the fountayne of water in the worde ²⁷ To make it vnto hym selfe a glorious Churche, not hauyng spot or wrinckle, or any such thyng: but that it should be holy, and without blame

²⁰ And by hym to reconcile all thynges vnto hym selfe, & to set at peace through the blood of his crosse by hym, both the thynges in earth, and thynges in heauen ²¹ And you which were sometyme straungers, and enemies, by cogitation in euyll workes, hath he nowe yet reconciled ²² In the body of his fleshe, through death, to present you holye, and vnblameable, & without fault in his syght ²³ If ye continue grounded & stablisshed in the fayth, and be not moued away from the hope of the Gospell, which ye haue hearde howe it is preached to euery creature which is vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a minister

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

¹⁷ Notwithstandyng, the Lorde assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preachyng should be fulfylled to the vtmost, and that all the gentiles should heare, and I was deliuered out of the mouth of the Lion

²² The Lorde Iesus Christe [be] with thy spirite: Grace be with you. Amen

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

¹⁴ For it is euident that our Lord sprong out of Iuda, of which tribe spake Moyses nothyng concernyng priesthood

²⁵ Wherefore he is able also euer to saue them to the vttermost that come vnto God by hym, seyng he euer lyueth to make intercession for them 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

⁷ By fayth Noe beyng warned of God of thinges not seene as yet, moued with reuerence, prepared the arke to the sauyng of his house, through the whiche [arke] he condempned the worlde, and became heire of the righteousnes which is by fayth ⁸ By fayth Abraham when he was called, obeyed, to go out into a place whiche he shoulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: and he went out, not knowyng whyther he shoulde go

¹¹ Through fayth also Sara her selfe receaued strength to conceaue seede, and was delyuered of a chylde whe she was past age, because she iudged hym faythfull which had promised

¹⁷ By fayth Abraham offered by Isaac when he was proued: and he that had receaued the promises, offered vp his only begotten sonne ¹⁸ To whom it was saide, that in Isaac shall thy seede be called

²⁴ By fayth Moyses when he was great, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos daughter ²⁵ Chosyng rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioye the pleasures of sinne for a season ²⁶ Esteemyng the rebuke of Christ, greater riches, then the treasures of Egypt: For he had respect vnto the recompence of the rewarde ²⁷ By fayth he forsoke Egypt, fearyng not the wrath of the kyng: For he endured, euen as though he had seene him which is inuisible ²⁸ Through fayth, he ordeyned the Passouer and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first borne, shoulde touche them ²⁹ By fayth, they passed through the redde sea, as by drye lande: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were drowned ³⁰ By fayth, the walles of Iericho fell downe, after they were compassed about seuen dayes ³¹ By fayth, the harlot Rahab perished not with them that were disobedient, when she had receaued the spyes with peace

³¹ By fayth, the harlot Rahab perished not with them that were disobedient, when she had receaued the spyes with peace

²¹ Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter ²² Seest thou not, howe ye faith wrought with his deedes, and through ye deedes was the fayth made perfect 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 ²⁴ Ye see then, howe that of deedes a man is iustified, and not of fayth only ²⁵ Lykewyse also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receaued the messengers, and had sent them out another way

²⁵ Lykewyse also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receaued the messengers, and had sent them out another way ²⁶ For as the body without the spirite is dead: euen so, fayth without workes, is dead [also

⁷ But and yf we walke in light, euen as he is in lyght, then haue we felowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all sinne

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 And ye know that he appeared to take away our sinnes, & in hym is no sinne

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 ⁶ And made vs kynges and priestes vnto God his father, be glorie and dominion for euermore. Amen

⁵ Of the tribe of Iuda were sealed 12 thousande. Of the tribe of Ruben were sealed 12 thousande. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed 12 thousande

¹⁴ And he sayde vnto hym, Lorde thou wotest. And he sayde to me: These are they which came out of great tribulation, and haue wasshed their long robes, and made them whyte by the blood of the lambe

¹⁷ For God hath put in their heartes to fulfyll his wyll, and to do with one consent, for to geue their kyngdome vnto the beast, vntyll the wordes of God be fulfylled

¹⁶ I Iesus sent myne angell, to testifie vnto you these thynges in ye Churches. I am the roote and the generation of Dauid, and the bryght mornyng starre
