¹³ Wilt thou therfore say, Tushe, howe should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude ¹⁴ Tushe, the cloudes couer him that he may not see, and he walketh on the top of heauen

¹¹ He sayeth in his heart, tushe, the Lord hath forgotten: he hydeth away his face, and he wyll neuer see it

²¹ (44:19b) woulde not God searche it out? for he knoweth the very secretes of the heart

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

⁷ And they say, tushe the Lorde seeth it not: neither doth the God of Iacob vnderstande it

¹ O God thou hast searched me to the quicke: and thou hast knowen me ² Thou knowest my downe sitting & myne vprising: thou vnderstandest my thoughtes long before they be ³ Thou compassest about my path, and my iourney into all coastes: and thou vsest all my wayes ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue: but beholde thou O Lorde knowest it altogether ⁵ Thou hast fashioned me behinde and before: and layde thyne hande vpon me ⁶ The knowledge that [thou hast] of me is marueylous: it is so high that I can not [attayne] vnto it

¹² Then sayde he vnto me, Thou sonne of man, hast thou seene what the auncientes of the house of Israel do secretly, euery one in the chaumber of his imagerie? for they say, The Lorde seeth vs not, the Lorde hath forsaken the earth

² They consider not in their heartes that I remember al their wickednesse: Nowe their owne inuentions haue beset them, whiche I see well inough

¹² At the same time will I searche Hierusalem with lanternes, and visite them that continue in their dregges, and say in their heartes, Tush, the Lorde will do neither good nor euyll

³⁵ I my selfe haue seene the vngodly in great power: and florishing lyke a greene bay tree

⁶ There be some that put their trust in their goodes: and boast them selues in the multitude of their riches

⁷ [Saying] lo this is the man that put not the Lorde [to be] his strength: but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and strengthed him selfe in his wickednesse

¹⁰ O trust not in wrong [dealing] and spoyling: geue not your selues vnto vanitie, if riches encrease, set not your heart [vpon them.

¹⁷ This people shall eate vp thy fruite and thy meate, yea they shall deuour thy sonnes & thy daughters, thy sheepe and thy bullockes, they shall eate vp thy grapes and figges: As for thy strong and well defensed cities wherin thou didst trust, they shall bryng to pouertie, and that through the sworde

⁷ [He is] Chanaan, the ballaunces of deceipt are in his hande, he loueth to oppresse ⁸ And Ephraim hath sayde, Tushe I am riche, I haue good enough: in all my workes shall not one iniquitie be founde wherin I haue offended

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

¹ Go to nowe ye riche men, weepe and howle on your wretchednesse that shall come vpon you ² Your riches is corrupt, your garmentes are motheaten ³ Your golde and siluer is cankred, and the rust of them shalbe a witnesse agaynst you, and shall eate your fleshe as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure together in your last dayes

²⁷ If I say, I will forget my complayning, I will ceasse from my wrath, and comfort my selfe

³¹ Yet shalt thou dippe me in the myre, and mine owne clothes shal defile me

¹⁵ Who is the almightie that we should serue him? And what profite should we haue if we should pray vnto him

⁹ For he hath sayde, It profiteth a man nothing that he shoulde walke with God

³ For thou sayest: what aduauntage wyll it be vnto thee, and what profite shall I haue of my sinne

⁶ I haue wasshed my handes in innocencie: and [so] I haue gone about thine aulter O God

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

¹⁹ Hauyng therefore brethren, libertie to enter into holy [places] in the blood of Iesus ²⁰ By the new and lyuing way, which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle, that is to say his flesshe ²¹ And [seyng we haue] an hye priest ouer the house of God ²² Let vs drawe nye with a true hearte, in assuraunce of fayth, sprinkeled in our heartes from an euyll conscience, and wasshed in body with pure water

³ Euen so haue I laboured whole monethes long in vayne, and many a carefull night haue I tolde ⁴ When I layde me downe to sleepe, I sayde, O when shall I arise? and measuring the euening, I am euen full with tossing to and fro vnto the dawning of the day

¹⁸ Thou visitest him early and euery day, euery moment doest thou trie him

³ Thinkest thou it welldone to oppresse me? to cast me of beyng the workes of thy handes? and to mayntayne the counsell of the vngodly

¹⁷ Thou bringest freshe witnesse against me, and thy wrath increasest thou vpon me: diuers and many are the plagues that I am in

¹⁹ Great are the troubles of the righteous: but God deliuereth him out of all

¹² Blessed is the man O Lorde, whom thou wylt chasten: and whom thou wylt instruct in thy lawe

¹⁸ Shall my heauinesse endure for euer? Are my plagues then so great that they may neuer be healed? Wylt thou be as one that is false, and as a water that falleth, and can not continue

² You only haue I knowen of al the families of the earth, therfore I will visite you for all your iniquities

⁵ And ye haue forgotten the exhortatio, which speaketh vnto you as vnto chyldren: My sonne despise not thou the chastenyng of the Lorde, neither faynt when thou art rebuked of hym

⁶ In the which ye reioyce, though nowe for a season (yf nede require) ye are in heauinesse through manifolde temptations

²⁴ Oh, nay my sonnes: For it is no good report that I heare, how that ye make the Lordes people to trespasse

⁵ Hereafter they shalbe taken with a great feare: for the Lorde is in the generation of the righteous

³⁰ (22:29) The posteritie shall serue hym: they shalbe counted vnto the Lorde for a generation

⁶ This is the generation of them that seke hym: euen of them that seke thy face [in] Iacob. Selah

⁸ But ye haue gone out of the way, ye haue caused many to fall by the lawe: ye haue corrupted the couenaunt of Leui, saith the Lorde of hoastes

⁶ But who so shall offende one of these litle ones, which beleue in me, it were better for hym, that a myll stone were hanged about his necke, & that he were drowned in the deapth of the sea ⁷ Wo vnto the worlde, because of offences. It must nedes be, that offences come: But wo to that man, by whom the offence commeth

¹⁵ But yf thy brother be greeued with thy meat, nowe walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not hym with thy meat, for whom Christe dyed

²¹ It is good neither to eate fleshe, neither to drinke wine, neither any thyng wherby thy brother stumbleth, either falleth, or is made weake

¹¹ And through thy knowledge shal the weake brother perishe, for whom Christe dyed ¹² When ye sinne so against the brethren, and wounde their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christe ¹³ Wherefore, if meate offend my brother, I wyll eate no fleshe whyle the worlde standeth, lest I shoulde offende my brother

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royall priesthood, an holy nation, a peculier people: that ye should shewe foorth the vertues of hym that called you out of darknesse into his marueylous lyght

⁶ Thy righteousnes is like the mountaynes of God: thy iudgementes are a great deapth, thou sauest both man and beast O God

⁶ Truely man walketh in a vayne shadowe, truely he [and all his] do disquiet them selues in vayne: he heapeth vp riches, & can not tel who shal vse them

¹⁹ Thy way is in the sea, and thy pathes in the great waters: and thy footesteppes are not knowen

² Cloudes and thicke darknesse are rounde about hym: iustice and iudgement are the habitation of his throne

² Surely I am more foolishe then any man, and haue no mans vnderstandyng ³ I neuer learned wisdome, nor had knowledge of holy thynges

¹⁷ I vnderstoode of all the workes of God, but it is not possible for a man to attayne vnto the workes that are done vnder the sunne: and though he bestowe his labour to seeke them out, yet can he not reach vnto them: yea though a wyse man would vndertake to know them, yet shall he not finde them

³² For he shalbe deliuered vnto the gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on ³³ And when they haue scourged hym, they wyll put hym to death. And the thyrde day he shall aryse agayne ³⁴ And they vnderstoode none of all these thynges. And this saying was hyd from them, so that they perceaued not the thynges which were spoken

¹⁸ They sayde therefore: What is this that he saith, after a whyle? we can not tell what he saith ¹⁹ Iesus perceaued that they would aske hym, and sayde vnto them: Do ye enquire among your selues of that I said after a whyle, and, ye shall not see me, & againe, after a while & ye shall see me

³³ O the deepenesse of the ryches both of the wisdome and knowledge of God, howe vnsearcheable are his iudgementes, and his wayes past fyndyng out

⁸ For what hope hath the hypocrite though he haue great good, if God take away his soule

⁴ I haue desired one thyng of God, whiche once agayne I wyll earnestly require: euen that I may dwell in the house of God all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautifulnes of God, and to seeke [it] in his temple

³⁷ Marke hym that is perfect, and beholde him that is iust: for the ende of suche a man is peace ³⁸ As for wicked transgressours, they shalbe destroyed [all] together: and the ende of the vngodly shalbe rooted vp at the last

² (63:3) [To see thee] euen so [as] I haue seene thee in the sanctuary: that I might beholde thy power and glory

¹³ Thy way O Lorde is in holynesse: who is so great a God as the Lorde

²⁴ (119:8) Yea thy testimonies are my delyght: and my counsaylers

¹³⁰ (119:2) The first entering of thy wordes will illuminate: geuyng vnderstanding euen vnto the simple

¹² Because an euyll person offendeth an hundred tymes, and God deferreth, geuing hym long life, therefore am I sure that it shall go well with them that feare God, whiche haue hym before their eyes ¹³ Againe, as for the vngodly it shall not be well with him, neither shall he prolong his dayes: but euen as a shadowe, so shall he be that feareth not God

³¹ The prophetes teache falsely, and the preachers receaue giftes, and my people hath pleasure therein: what wyll come thereof at the last

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

²² And it came to passe, that the begger dyed, and was caryed by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The riche man also dyed, and was buryed ²³ And beyng in hell in tormentes, he lyft vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre of, and Lazarus in his bosome

³⁵ Uengeaunce is myne, and I wyll rewarde, their feete shall slyde in due tyme: For the day of their destruction is at hande, and the thynges that shall come vpon them, make haste

⁶ Let their way be darke and slipperie: & let the angell of God persecute them

²⁰ As for the vngodly they shall perishe, and the enemies of God shall consume as the fat of lambes: yea, euen with the smoke they shall vanishe away

²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be vndone: for God vpholdeth him with his hande

³⁵ I my selfe haue seene the vngodly in great power: and florishing lyke a greene bay tree ³⁶ And he vanished away, so that he could be no more seene: I sought hym, but he coulde no where be founde

²³ [And as for] them: thou O Lorde wylt hurle headlong into the pit of destruction. (55:24) The bloodthirstie and deceiptfull men shal not liue out halfe their dayes: neuerthelesse I wyll put my full trust in thee

⁷ Wheras the vngodly do bud vp greene as the grasse, and wheras all workers of iniquitie do florishe: that they [notwithstandyng] shalbe destroyed for euer and euer

²³ And he wyll recompence them their wickednesse, and destroy them in their owne malice: God our Lorde wyll destroy them

¹² Wherefore their way shalbe slipperie in the darknesse, wherein they may stacker and fall: for I wyll bryng a plague vpon them, euen the yere of their visitation, saith the Lorde

⁹ Which shalbe punisshed with euerlastyng dampnation, from the presence of the Lorde, & fro the glorie of his power

²¹ Seperate your selues from among this congregation, that I may consume them at once

¹² And the children of Israel spake vnto Moyses, saying: Beholde, we are wasted away and perished, we all come to naught ¹³ Whosoeuer cometh nye, or approcheth to the tabernacle of the Lord, shall dye: Shall we vtterly consume away, and dye

²⁰ Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afrayde because of the wordes of Samuel. And there was no strength in him: for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night

²¹ A feareful sounde is [euer] in his eares, and when he is in peace, the destroyer shall come vpon him

¹¹ Fearefulnesse shall make him afraide on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete

⁵ That the gladnesse of the vngodlie hath ben short, and that the ioy of hypocrites continued but the twinckling of an eye

²³ And it shall come to passe, that wherewith he purposed to fill his belly, God shall powre the furie of his wrath theron, and shall cause his indignation to raigne vpon him, and vpon his meate ²⁴ He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bowe of steele shall strike him through ²⁵ The [arowe] is taken foorth and gone out of the quiuer, and a glistering sword through the gall of him: so feare shall come vpon him

⁹ (58:8) As a greene thorne [kindled with fyre, goeth out] before your pottes be made whot: euen so let a furious rage bring him to naught

¹ The vngodly fleeth when no man pursueth him: but the righteous are bolde as a Lion

³ Therfore are my loynes fylled with sorowe, heauinesse hath taken holde vpon me as the panges of a woman that is trauaylyng: it made me stoupe when I heard it, and it vexed me when I sawe it ⁴ My heart panted, fearefulnesse came vpon me: the nyght of my voluptuousnesse hath he turned agaynst me into feare

¹³ Therfore shall ye haue this mischiefe for your destruction and fall, like as an hye wall that falleth because of some rift or blast, whose breakyng commeth sodainly

¹¹ Therefore shall trouble come vpon thee, and thou shalt not knowe from whence it shall arise: Mischiefe shall fal vpon thee, which thou shalt not be able to put of, a sodayne vtter destruction shall come vpon thee or euer thou be ware

⁶ Then chaunged the king his countenaunce, & his thoughtes troubled hym, so that the ioyntes of his loynes were loosed, and his knees smote one against the other

²³ Hym haue ye taken, by the handes of vnryghteous persons, after he was deliuered by the determinate councell and foreknowledge of God, and haue crucified and slayne hym

³ For when they shal say peace & safetie, then shall sodeyne destruction come vppon them, as sorowe vpon a woman with chylde, and they shall not escape

¹⁰ And shall stande a farre of for feare of her punishment, saying: Alas, alas, that great citie Babylon, that myghtie citie, for at one houre is thy iudgement come

⁸ He shall vanishe as a dreame, so that he can no more be founde, and shal passe away as a vision in the night

⁶ Arise O God in thy wrath, and stand thou vp agaynst the rage of myne enemies: stirre thou for me [according] to the iudgement [whiche] thou hast geuen

⁶⁵ But the Lorde awaked as though he had slept: like a giaunt making a triumphant noyse after wine

⁵ Thou makest them to flowe away, they are a sleepe: they be in the morning as an hearbe that groweth

⁷ And the multitude of all nations that fight against Ariel, shalbe as a dreame seene by night: euen so shall they be that make warre against it, and strong holdes to ouercome it, and that lay any siege vnto it ⁸ In conclusion, it shalbe euen as when a hungry man dreameth that he is eating, and when he awaketh, his soule is emptie, or as when a thirstie man dreameth that he is drinking, and when he awaketh, he is yet fainte, and his soule hath appetite: euen so shall the multitude of all nations that fighteth against mount Sion

¹³ His archers compasse me rounde about, he woundeth my raines, and doth not spare, my bowels hath he powred vpon the grounde

³ For I enuied at the case of the foolishe: I sawe the wicked [flowe] in all kynde of prosperitie

¹³ The arrowes of his quiuer hath he shot, euen into my reynes

³ Wherfore are we counted as beastes, and reputed so vyle in your sight

⁹ Be ye not lyke a horse [or] lyke a mule whiche haue no vnderstanding: whose mouthes must be holden with bit and brydle, lest they fall vpon thee

¹⁰ (49:9) For he seeth that wyse men dye: and that the foole and ignoraunt perishe together, and leaue their riches for other

⁵ God thou knowest my folly: and my faultes are not hyd from thee

⁶ An vnwise man doth not consider this: and a foole doth not vnderstande it

² Surely I am more foolishe then any man, and haue no mans vnderstandyng

¹⁸ I communed with myne owne heart also concernyng the children of men, howe God hath chosen them, and yet letteth them appeare as though they were beastes

³ The oxe hath knowen his owner, and the asse his maisters cribbe: [but] Israel hath not knowen, my people hath geuen no heede

¹ When Abram was ninetie yere olde and nine, the Lorde appeared to hym, and sayde vnto hym: I am the almightie God, walke before me, and be thou perfect

⁸ I haue set God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, [therfore] I shall not be remoued

⁴ (23:3) Yea though I walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I wyll feare no euyll: for thou art with me, thy rodde and thy staffe be the thynges that do comfort me

¹⁷ For the armes of the vngodly shalbe broken: and God vpholdeth the righteous

⁸ (63:9) My soule cleaueth fast vnto thee: thy right hande hath vpholden me

¹ O God thou hast searched me to the quicke: and thou hast knowen me ² Thou knowest my downe sitting & myne vprising: thou vnderstandest my thoughtes long before they be ³ Thou compassest about my path, and my iourney into all coastes: and thou vsest all my wayes ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue: but beholde thou O Lorde knowest it altogether ⁵ Thou hast fashioned me behinde and before: and layde thyne hande vpon me ⁶ The knowledge that [thou hast] of me is marueylous: it is so high that I can not [attayne] vnto it ⁷ Whyther can I go from thy spirite: or whyther can I flee away from thy face ⁸ If I ascende vp into heauen, thou art there: if I lay me downe in hell, thou art there also ⁹ If I take the wynges of the morning: and [go to] dwell in the vttermost part of the sea ¹⁰ Euen there also thy hande shall leade me: and thy right hande shall holde me ¹¹ And yf I say peraduenture the darknesse shall couer me: and the night shalbe day for me ¹² Truely the darknesse shall not darken any thing from thee, and the night shalbe as lyghtsome as the day: darknesse and lyght [to thee] are both a lyke

¹⁸ I go about to count them, I fynde that they are mo in number then the sande: and yet whyle I am wakyng I am styll with thee

¹⁰ Be not afraide, for I am with thee: Melt not away as waxe, for I am thy God to strength thee, helpe thee, and kepe thee with the right hande of my righteousnesse

¹³ For I the Lorde thy God wyll strengthen thy right hande, euen I that say vnto thee, Feare not, I wyll helpe thee

¹ Behold this is my seruaunt vpon whom I leane, my elect in who my soule is pacified: I haue geuen my spirite vpon him, that he may shewe foorth iudgement among the gentiles

²³ Behold, a virgin shalbe with childe, and shall bryng foorth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, whiche is by interpretation, God with vs.

²⁰ Teachyng the to obserue all thynges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And loe, I am with you alway, euen vnto the ende of the worlde

⁵ Let your conuersation be without couetousnesse, beyng content with such thynges as ye haue. For he hath sayde: I wyll not fayle thee, neither forsake thee

⁷ I wyll prayse God who gaue me counsayle: my reines also do instruct me in the nyght season

⁹ (25:7) He wyll guide the meke in iudgement: and teache the humble his way

⁸ I will geue thee wise instructions, and teach thee in the way wherin thou shalt go: & I wil guyde thee with mine eye

¹⁴ (48:13) For this God is our God for euer and euer: he wyll be our guide vnto death

¹⁵ (49:14) But God wyll delyuer my soule from the place of hell: for he wyll receaue me. Selah

⁸ Cause me to heare of thy louyng kindnesse betymes in the mornyng: for in thee is my trust. (143:9) Make me to knowe the way that I shoulde walke in: for I lyft vp my soule vnto thee ⁹ (143:10) Delyuer me O God from myne enemies: I hyde my selfe with thee ¹⁰ (143:11) Teache me to do the thyng that pleaseth thee, for thou art my Lorde: let thy good spirite leade me foorth vnto the lande of ryghteousnesse

⁵ Put thy trust in God with all thine heart: & leane not vnto thine owne wit ⁶ In all thy wayes acknowledge him, and he shall order thy goynges

²⁰ I wyll guyde thee in the way of righteousnes, and in the midst of the pathes of iudgement

²¹ Yea and thyne eare shall heare the talking of him that doth speake behinde thee: This is the way, walke ye in it, turne not aside neither to the right hande, nor to the left

¹⁷ And thus saith the Lorde God thy redeemer, the holy one of Israel: I am the Lorde thy God which teache thee profitable thynges, and leade thee the way that thou shouldest go

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

¹¹ The Lorde shall euer be thy guyde, and satisfie the desire of thyne heart in the tyme of drought, and fill thy bones with mary: Thou shalt be like a freshe watred garden, and like the fountaine of water that neuer leaueth running

¹³ If ye then, being euyll, can geue good gyftes vnto your chyldren, howe muche more shall your father of heauen geue the holy spirite, to them that desire [it] of hym

⁴⁶ And when Iesus had cryed with a loude voyce, he sayde: Father into thy handes I commende my spirite. And when he thus had sayde, he gaue vp the ghost

³ And yf I go to prepare a place for you, I wyll come agayne, and receaue you, [euen] vnto my selfe: that where I am, there may ye be also

¹³ Howebeit, when he is come, whiche is the spirite of trueth, he wyl leade you into all trueth. He shall not speake of himselfe: but whatsoeuer he shal heare, that shall he speake, and he wyll shewe you thynges to come

⁵ And nowe glorifie thou me, O father, with thine owne selfe, with the glory which I had with thee yer the worlde was

²⁴ Father, I wyll that they which thou hast geuen me, be with me where I am, that they may see my glorie which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedst me, before the foundation of the world

⁵⁹ And they stoned Steuen, callyng on, and saying: Lorde Iesu receaue my spirite

¹ For we knowe, that yf our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were destroyed, we haue a building of God, an habitation not made with handes, but eternall in heauen

⁵ If any of you lacke wisdome, let him aske of God, that geueth to all men indifferentlie, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shalbe geuen hym

⁴ To an inheritaunce immortall, and vndefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserued in heauen for you ⁵ Which are kept by the power of God through fayth vnto saluation, which is prepared alredie to be shewed in the last tyme

² Thou hast sayde [O my soule] vnto God, thou art my Lorde: my weldoing [can do] thee no good

⁵ O God, thou thy selfe art the portion of myne inheritaunce and of my cup: thou wylt mayntayne my lot

¹¹ Thou wylt cause me to knowe the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy, and at thy right hand there be pleasures for euermore

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

¹ Lyke as the Hart brayeth for water brookes: so panteth my soule after thee O God ² My soule is a thirst for the Lorde, yea euen for the lyuyng Lorde: when shall I come to appeare before the face of the Lorde

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

³ (63:4) For thy louing kindnes is better then life [itselfe]: my lippes shall prayse thee

⁶ For who is he in the cloudes that shal matche God: [and who] is like vnto God amongst the children gods

³⁴ My meditations of hym shalbe very pleasaunt: for all my ioy shalbe in God

⁶ I stretche foorth myne handes vnto thee: my soule as a thirstie lande [gaspeth] vnto thee. Selah ⁷ Make speede, hearken vnto me O God, my spirite waxeth faynt: hyde not thy face from me, for I am lyke vnto them that go downe into the pyt ⁸ Cause me to heare of thy louyng kindnesse betymes in the mornyng: for in thee is my trust. (143:9) Make me to knowe the way that I shoulde walke in: for I lyft vp my soule vnto thee

⁸ Yea in the way of thy iudgementes, O Lord, haue we put our trust in thee: thy name also and the remembraunce of thee, is the thing that our soule longeth for ⁹ My soule hath longed for thee all the night, and with my spirite whiche is within me wyll I seeke thee early in the morning: For when thy iudgementes are in the earth, the inhabiters of the worlde shall learne righteousnesse

¹⁷ For the figgetree shall not floorish, neither shall fruite be in the vines: the labour of the oliue shall fayle, & the fieldes shall yelde no meate: the sheepe shalbe cut of from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles ¹⁸ But I will reioyce in the Lord, I will ioy in the God of my saluation

³⁷ He that loueth father or mother, more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that loueth sonne or daughter, more the me, is not worthy of me

⁸ Yea, I thynke all thynges but losse, for the excellencie of the knowledge of Christe Iesus my Lorde: For whom I haue counted all thyng losse, & do iudge the but vile, that I may winne Christe

² Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, and yet it doth not appeare what we shalbe: But we knowe that when he shall appeare, we shalbe lyke hym, for we shall see hym as he is

³ And I hearde a great voyce out of heauen, saying: Beholde, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he wyll dwell with them, and they shalbe his people, and God hym selfe shalbe with them, and be their God

²² And I sawe no temple therin: For the Lorde God almightie and the Lambe, are the temple of it ²³ And the citie hath no neede of the sunne, neither of the moone to lighten it: For the glorie of God dyd lighten it, and the Lambe is the lyght of it

¹⁵ Lo, though he slay me, yet wyl I trust in him: but I wyll reproue myne owne wayes in his sight

⁵ O God, thou thy selfe art the portion of myne inheritaunce and of my cup: thou wylt mayntayne my lot ⁶ My lot is fallen vnto me in a pleasaut [grounde:] I [haue] a goodly heritage

² (18:1b) God is my stony rocke & my fortresse, and my delyuerer: my Lorde, my castell in whom I wyll trust, my buckler, the horne of my saluation, & my refuge

¹⁴ Attende thou [therfore] vpon God, be of a good courage, and he will comfort thine heart: [I say] attende thou vpon God

¹² (40:13) For innumerable troubles are come about me, my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me that I am not able to loke vp: yea they are mo in number then the heeres of my head, & my heart hath fayled me

¹ O Lorde thou art my Lorde: early in the morning I do seeke thee. (63:2) My soule thirsteth for thee: my fleshe also longeth after thee in a baren and drye lande [where] no water is

² My soule hath a desire and a longing to enter into the courtes of God: my heart and my flesh leapeth with ioy for to go to the liuing Lorde

⁵⁷ (119:1) Thou art my portion O God: I haue purposed to kepe thy lawe

⁸¹ (119:1) My soule hath faynted after thy saluation: I geue earnest attedaunce vnto thy worde ⁸² (119:2) Myne eyes haue faynted after thy worde: whylest I say, when wilt thou comfort me

³ (138:4) In the day [of myne aduersitie] I called vpon thee, and thou heardest me: thou enduedst my soule more and more with strength

⁵ I cryed vnto thee O God, and sayde: thou art my hope and my portion in the lande of the lyuyng

²⁹ It is he that geueth strength vnto the weerie, and power vnto the faint ³⁰ Children are weerie and faint, and the strongest men fall ³¹ But vnto them that haue their trust in the Lorde, shall strength be increased: Egles winges shall growe vpon them, when they runne they shall not fall, and when they go they shall not be weerie

²⁴ The Lorde is my portion saith my soule therefore wyll I hope in hym

⁸ We are troubled on euery syde, yet are we not without shyft. We are in pouertie, but not vtterly without somewhat ⁹ We suffer persecution, but are not forsaken therin. We are cast downe, but we perisshe not ¹⁰ We alwayes beare about in the body the dying of the Lorde Iesus, that the lyfe of Iesus myght also appeare in our bodie

¹⁶ Wherefore we are not weryed: But though our outwarde man perishe, yet the inwarde man is renued day by day ¹⁷ For our exceedyng tribulation which is momentanie & lyght, prepareth an exceedyng and an eternall wayght of glorie vnto vs ¹⁸ Whyle we loke not on the thynges whiche are seene, but on the thynges which are not seene. For the thynges which are seene, are temporall: but the things which are not seene, are eternal

⁹ And he sayde vnto me: My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect in weakenesse. Most gladly therfore, I wyll rather glorie in my infirmities, that the power of Christ myght dwell in me ¹⁰ Therfore haue I delectation in infirmities, in rebukes, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguishes for Christes sake: For when I am weake, then am I strong

²¹ For Christe [is] to me lyfe, and death [is] to me aduantage

⁶ For I am nowe redie to be offered, & the tyme of my dissolution is at hande ⁷ I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled [my] course, I haue kept ye faith 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

¹⁴ Forasmuch as I am sure that shortly I must put of this my tabernacle, euen as our Lorde Iesus Christe shewed me

³ And I hearde a great voyce out of heauen, saying: Beholde, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he wyll dwell with them, and they shalbe his people, and God hym selfe shalbe with them, and be their God ⁴ And God shall wype away all teares from their eyes: and there shalbe no more death, neither sorowe, neither crying, neither shall there be any more payne, for the former thynges are gone

⁷ He that ouercommeth, shall inherite all thynges, and I wyl be his God, and he shalbe my sonne

¹⁵ Lest if thou make any agreement with the inhabitours of the lande, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice vnto their gods: they call thee, and thou eate of theyr sacrifice

³⁹ And the fringe shalbe vnto you to loke vpon, that ye may remember all the comaundementes of the Lorde, and do them: and that ye seeke not after your owne heart, or your owne eyes, after the which ye vse to go a whoryng

³⁹ (106:37) Thus were they stayned with their owne workes: and went a whoryng with their owne inuentions

¹⁵⁵ (119:3) Saluation is farre from the vngodly: for they study not thy statutes

¹³ Therfore thus hath the Lorde sayd: Forsomuche as this people when they be in trouble, do honour me with their mouth and with their lippes, but their heart is farre fro me, and the feare whiche they haue vnto me proceedeth of a commaundement that is taught of men

² Thou plantest them, they take roote, they growe, and bryng foorth fruite: they boast much of thee, yet art thou farre from their raynes

⁷ Hypocrites, full well dyd Esayas prophecie of you, saying ⁸ This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lippes: howbeit, their hearts are farre from me

¹³ But nowe in Christe Iesus, ye which sometyme were farre of, are made nye by the blood of Christe

¹⁷ And came and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye

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

¹ And there came one of the seue angels, which had the seuen vials, & talked with me, saying vnto me: Come, I wyll shewe vnto thee the iudgement of the great whore that sitteth vpon many waters ² With whom haue committed fornication the kynges of the earth, and the inhabiters of the earth are dronken with the wyne of her fornication ³ So he caryed me away in the spirite into the wildernesse: And I sawe a woman sit vpon a scarlet coloured beast, ful of names of blasphemie, which had seuen heades, and ten hornes ⁴ And the woman was arayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with golde, precious stone, and pearles, and had a cup of golde in her hande, full of abhominations and fylthynesse of her fornication ⁵ And in her forehead was a name written, a misterie, great Babylon, the mother of whoredome & abhominations of the earth

⁶ As for nowe ye make a mocke at the counsayle of the poore: because he reposeth his trust in God

⁵ Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in God: and turned not vnto the proude, and to such as decline to lyes

⁴ Blessed is the man [whom] thou choosest and receauest vnto thee: he shall dwell in thy court, and we shalbe satisfied with the goodnes of thy house, euen of thy holy temple

¹⁶ (66:14) O come hither, & hearken: and I wil tell all you that feare the Lorde, what he hath done for my soule

¹⁷ (71:16) Thou O God hast taught me from my youth: and hytherto I can well declare thy wonderous workes

²⁴ (71:23) My tongue also shal talke of thy righteousnesse all the day long: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame that seke to do me euyll

¹⁰ For one day in thy courtes, is better then a thousande [els where]: I had rather be a doore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in [large] tabernacles of vngodlynes

²² (107:21) And that they would offer [vnto him] sacrifices of thankes geuing: and set foorth in wordes his workes with a ioyfull noyse

⁷ Returne O my soule vnto thy rest: for God hath rewarded thee

¹⁷ I shall not [as yet] dye, but I shal liue: and I wyll declare the workes of the Lorde

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

¹⁷ Then he came to hym selfe, and sayde: Howe many hyred seruauntes at my fathers house haue bread inough, and I perishe with hunger ¹⁸ I wyll aryse, and go to my father, and wyll say vnto hym: Father, I haue sinned agaynst heauen, and before thee ¹⁹ And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne, make me as one of thy hyred seruauntes ²⁰ And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way of, his father sawe him, & had compassion, and ranne, and fell on his necke, and kissed hym

¹⁸ Forasmuch as Christe hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust to bryng vs to God, and was kylled as parteynyng to the fleshe, but was quickened in the spirite
