⁷ That in a publique confession I myght heare: and set foorth all thy wonderous workes

¹⁷ (71:16) Thou O God hast taught me from my youth: and hytherto I can well declare thy wonderous workes ¹⁸ (71:17) Wherfore whylest I am olde and am gray headed: O Lorde forsake me not, vntyll I haue shewed thy arme vnto [this] generation, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come

⁴ One generation shal praise thy workes vnto another: and they shall declare thy mightie power ⁵ I wyll set foorth in wordes the glorious maiestie of thy excellentnesse: and thy wonderous workes ⁶ I wyll also declare thy greatnesse: so that men shall speake of the force of thy terrible actes

⁷ I wyll declare the goodnesse of the Lorde, yea and the prayse of the Lorde for all that he hath geuen vs, for the great good that he hath done for Israel, whiche he hath geuen them of his owne fauour, and according to the multitude of his louing kindnesses ⁸ For he sayde, These no doubt are my people, and no shrinking chyldren: and so was he their sauiour ⁹ In their troubles, he was also troubled with them, and the angell that went foorth from his presence deliuered them: of very loue and kindnesse that he had vnto them, he redeemed them, he hath borne them and caried them vp euer since the worlde began ¹⁰ But after they prouoked hym to wrath and vexed his holy spirite, he was their enemie, and fought against them hym selfe ¹¹ Yet remembred Israel the olde time, of Moyses and his people, saying: where is he that brought them from the water of the sea, with them that feede his sheepe? Where is he that hath geuen his holy spirite among them ¹² He led them by the right hande of Moyses with his glorious arme, deuiding the water before them, wherby he gat him selfe an euerlasting name ¹³ He led them in the deepe as an horse is led in the playne, that they shoulde not stumble ¹⁴ As a tame beast goeth in the fielde, and the spirite of God geueth hym rest: thus (O God) hast thou led thy people, to make thy selfe a glorious name withall ¹⁵ Loke downe then from heauen, and beholde from the dwelling place of thy sanctuarie and thy glorie: Howe is it that thy gelousie, thy strength, the multitude of thy mercies, and thy louing kindnesse wyll not be intreated of vs ¹⁶ Yet art thou our father: for Abraham knoweth vs not, neither is Israel acquainted with vs: but thou Lorde art our father and redeemer, and thy name is euerlasting ¹⁷ O Lorde, wherefore hast thou led vs out of the way? wherefore hast thou hardened our heartes that we feare thee not? Be at one with vs agayne for thy seruauntes sake, and for the generation of thyne heritage ¹⁸ Thy holy people haue had but a litle whyle thy sanctuarie in possession, for our enemies haue troden downe thy holy place ¹⁹ And we were thyne from the beginning, when thou wast not their Lorde, for they haue not called vpon thy name

³ Of this thyng tell your children, and let your children [shewe it] to their children, and their children to [their] posteritie afterwarde

¹⁹ I knowe this also, that he wyll commaunde his chyldren and his householde after him, that they kepe the way of the Lord, and to do iustice and iudgement, that the Lorde may bryng vppon Abraha that he hath spoken vnto him

¹⁶ And thou shalt put in the arke, the testimonie whiche I shall geue thee

²¹ And thou shalt put the mercy seate aboue vpon the arke, and in the arke thou shalt put the witnesse that I shall geue thee

³ And put therin the arke of the testimonie, and couer the arke with the vayle: and thou shalt bring in the table, and order it accordyng to the appoyntment therof

²⁰ And he toke the testimonie, and put it in the arke, and set the barres to the arke, and put the mercie seate an hye vpon the arke

⁴⁵ These are the witnesse, statutes, and ordinaunces, which Moyses tolde the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt

⁷ (19:6) The lawe of God is perfect, conuerting the soule: the testimonie of God is sure, and geueth wisdome vnto the simple

³ Which we haue hearde and knowen: and such as our fathers haue tolde vs ⁴ We wyll not hyde them from their children: nay we wyll set foorth in wordes to the generation to come, the prayses of God, and his myght and wonderfull workes that he hath done

⁵ This he ordayned in Ioseph for a testimonie, when he came out of the lande of Egypt: [where] I hearde a tongue [whiche] I knewe not

¹⁵² (119:8) As concernyng thy testimonies: I haue knowen long since that thou hast made them to last for euer

¹⁹ He declareth his worde vnto Iacob: his statutes & ordinaunces vnto Israel

²⁰ Get thee to the lawe, and the testimonie: and if they speake not after this worde, there is no light in them

¹⁹ But the lyuyng, yea the lyuyng knowledge thee, as I do this day: the father telleth his children of thy faythfulnesse

² Much euery way. First, for because yt vnto them were committed ye wordes of God

⁴ Fathers prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lorde

⁹ If we receaue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: For this is the witnesse of God [that is greater] which he testified of his sonne ¹⁰ He that beleueth on the sonne of God, hath the witnesse in hym selfe: He that beleueth not God, hath made hym a lyer, because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of his sonne ¹¹ And this is the recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, and this lyfe, is in his sonne ¹² He that hath the sonne, hath lyfe: and he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe

¹⁰ Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lorde thy God in Horeb, when the Lorde sayd vnto me: Gather me the people together, & I wyll make them heare my wordes, that they may learne to feare me all the dayes that they shall lyue vpon the earth, and that they may teache their children

²⁴ And yf we haue not rather done it for feare of this thyng, saying, In tyme to come your chyldren myght say vnto ours: What haue you to do with the Lorde God of Israel ²⁵ The Lorde hath made Iordane a border betweene vs and you ye children of Ruben and of Gad, ye haue no part therfore in the Lorde: and so shall your children make our children ceasse from fearyng the Lorde

²⁸ And that these dayes are to be remembred and to be kept of childers children among al kinredes in all landes and cities: In these dayes of Phurim which are not to be ouerslipt among ye Iewes, and the memoriall of them ought not to perishe from their seede

³¹ (22:30) They wyll come and declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shalbe borne: for he hath done it

¹³ (48:12) Marke well her bulwarkes, beholde her hygh palaces: that ye may tell it to your posteritie

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

¹⁶ Let thy worke appeare in thy seruauntes: and thy glory in their children

¹⁸ (102:16) This shalbe written for those that come after: and the people which shalbe borne, shall prayse the Lorde

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

²⁴ Therfore shall ye obserue this thyng for an ordinaunce to thee & thy sonnes for euer ²⁵ And when ye be come to the lande whiche the Lorde wyll geue you, accordyng as he hath promised, ye shall kepe this seruice

²⁹ Oh that there were such an heart in them that they woulde feare me, & kepe all my comaundementes alway, that it myght go well with them, and with their childen for euer

¹² Then beware lest thou forget ye Lorde which brought thee out of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage

¹⁸ Thou shalt not feare them: but remember what the Lorde thy God dyd vnto Pharao and vnto all Egypt ¹⁹ The great temptations which thine eyes sawe, and the signes, & wonders, and the mightie hande, and stretched out arme, wherby the Lorde thy God brought thee out: euen so shall the Lord thy God do vnto all nations of whom thou art afrayde

² And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lorde thy God led thee this fourtie yeres in the wildernesse, for to humble thee, & to proue thee, and to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest kepe his comaundementes, or no

¹¹ Beware that thou forget not the Lorde thy God, that thou wouldest not kepe his comaundementes, his lawes, and his ordinaunces, whiche I commaunde thee this day

²⁷ And the Iewes ordayned, and toke it vpon them and their seede, and vpon all such as ioyned them selues vnto them, that they would not misse but obserue these two dayes yerely, according as they were written and appoynted in their season ²⁸ And that these dayes are to be remembred and to be kept of childers children among al kinredes in all landes and cities: In these dayes of Phurim which are not to be ouerslipt among ye Iewes, and the memoriall of them ought not to perishe from their seede

⁴ Many shall see it, and feare: and shall put their trust in God

⁵ [Neuerthelesse] O my soule, stay thou only vpon the Lorde: for my confidence is in him

¹⁰ And I sayde, this is my death: but the ryght hande of the most hyghest [may graunt] me yeres ¹¹ I dyd call to remebraunce the workes of God almightie: for thy wonders done a great whyle a goe came into my mynde ¹² I also gaue my selfe to muse of all thy workes: and I talked of all thy actes

¹⁴ Because he hath set greatly his loue vpon me, therfore wyll I deliuer hym: I wyll set hym vp out of all daunger, because he hath knowen my name

² Blesse God O my soule: and forget not all his benefites

⁵ Remember the meruaylous workes that he hath done: his wonders, and the iudgementes of his mouth

⁶ My soule [lifteth] more after God, then watchmen do after the morning: I say more then watchmen do after the mornyng ⁷ Israel ought to trust in God, for there is mercy with God: and there is plenteousnes of redemption with him

⁵ Who made heauen and earth, the sea and all that therin is: who mainteyneth the trueth for euer

⁷ O blessed is the man that putteth his trust in the Lorde, and whose hope is in the Lorde hym selfe ⁸ For he shalbe as a tree that is planted by the water side, which spreadeth out the roote vnto moystnesse, whom the heate can not harme when it commeth, but his leafe shalbe greene: And though there growe but litle fruite because of drouth, yet is he not carefull, but he neuer leaueth of to bryng foorth fruite

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 ²² Iudas sayth vnto hym, not [Iudas] Iscariot: Lorde, what is done, that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the worlde ²³ Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: If a man loue me, he wyll kepe my sayinges: and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell with hym ²⁴ He that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayinges: And the word which ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which sent me

²⁴ And when he had geuen thankes, he brake it, and sayde: Take ye [and] eate, this is my body which is broke for you: This do ye in the remembraunce of me

²¹ Which by his meanes do beleue on God that raysed hym vp from death, and glorified hym, that ye might haue fayth and hope towarde God

²² And whatsoeuer we aske, we receaue of hym, because we kepe his commaundementes, and do those thynges which are pleasyng in his syght ²³ And this is his comaundement, that we beleue on the name of his sonne Iesus Christe, and loue one another, as he gaue commaundement ²⁴ And he that kepeth his commaundementes, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that he abideth in vs, euen by the spirite which he hath geuen vs

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

¹² Here is the pacience of the saintes: Here are they that kepe the commaundementes of God, and the fayth of Iesus

⁹ And the Lorde sayd vnto Moyses, I haue seene this people: and beholde, it is a styfnecked people

³ Unto a lande that floweth with mylke and hony. For I wyll not go amongest you my selfe: for ye are a styfnecked people, lest I consume thee in the way

⁵ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses: Say vnto the chyldren of Israel, ye are a styfnecked people: I must come once sodaynly vpon you, and make an ende of you: therefore nowe put thy goodly rayment from thee, that I may wyt what to do vnto thee

⁹ And sayd: If I haue founde grace in thy sight, O Lorde, then let my Lorde I pray thee go in the middest of vs, for it is a styfnecked people: and thou shalt haue mercy vpon our wickednes and our sinne, and shalt take vs for thine inheritaunce

⁴ But ye that cleaue vnto the Lord your god, are aliue euery one of you this day

⁶ Understand therfore that it is not for thy righteousnes sake, that the Lorde thy God doth geue thee this good lande to possesse it, seyng thou art a stifnecked people ⁷ Remember & forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lorde thy God in the wildernesse, since the day that thou diddest depart out of the lande of Egypt, vntyll ye came vnto this place, ye haue rebelled agaynst the Lorde

¹³ Furthermore, the Lorde spake vnto me, saying: I haue seene this people, and beholde it is a stifnecked people

²⁴ You haue ben rebellious vnto the Lorde since the day that I knewe you

²⁷ For I knowe thy rebellion and thy stiffe necke: whyle I am yet alyue with you this day, ye haue ben disobedient vnto the Lorde, and howe much more after my death

⁸ Neuerthelesse, my brethre that went vp with me, discouraged the hearte of the people: And I folowed the Lorde my God ⁹ And Moyses sware the same day, saying: The lande wheron thy feete haue troden, shalbe thyne inheritaunce and thy childrens for euer, because thou hast folowed the Lorde my God

¹⁴ Nothwithstanding they woulde not heare, but rather hardened their neckes, lyke to the stubburnesse of their fathers, that dyd not beleue in the Lorde their God

¹⁴ And he did euill, because he prepared not his heart to seeke the Lorde

³ Neuerthelesse, there are some good actes founde in thee, in that thou hast hewen downe the groues out of the lande, and hast prepared thyne heart to seke God

³³ Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for the people had not yet prepared their heartes vnto the God of their fathers

⁷ And be not ye lyke your fathers and your brethren, which trespassed against the Lorde God of their fathers, which gaue them vp to be destroyed, as ye see

¹⁹ That prepareth his heart to seeke the Lorde God, the God of his fathers: though he be not [clensed] accordyng to the purification of the sanctuarie

¹³ If thou preparedst thyne heart, and liftedst vp thyne handes towarde hym

⁶ He is the Lord that maketh those that dwell alone to haue a familie: and bryngeth prisoners out of the stockes

³⁷ Yet for all that he beyng most merciful: cleane pardoned all their misdeedes, and destroyed them not

⁷ Our fathers did not well consider thy wonders in Egypt, neither did they remember thy manifolde great goodnes: but they rebelled at the sea, euen at the red sea

⁹ For this is an obstinate people, and dissembling chyldren, chyldren that refuse to heare the lawe of the Lorde

³ And he sayde vnto me, Thou sonne of man, I sende thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people which haue rebelled against me, both they and their forefathers haue wickedly behaued them selues against me, euen vnto this very day ⁴ For they are children of a harde face and stiffe heart, I do sende thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lorde God ⁵ And whether they wyll heare or refuse (for they are a rebellious house) yet they may knowe that there hath ben a prophete among them ⁶ And thou sonne of man feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, for bryers and thornes are with thee, and thou doest dwell among scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be abashed at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house ⁷ And thou shalt speake my wordes vnto them, whether they wyll heare or refuse, for they are rebellious ⁸ Therefore thou sonne of man, obay thou all thinges that I say vnto thee, and be not thou rebellious lyke the rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I geue thee

⁸ But they rebelled against me, and woulde not hearken vnto me, they dyd not cast away euery man the abhominations of his eyes, neither dyd they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said I woulde powre out mine indignation ouer them, and accomplishe my wrath vpon them, yea euen in the middest of the lande of Egypt

¹⁸ Moreouer, I sayde vnto their sonnes in the wildernesse, Walke not in the statutes of your fathers, kepe not their iudgementes, and defile not your selues with their idols

³¹ And so ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the chyldren of them which kylled the prophetes ³² Fulfyll ye lykewyse, the measure of your fathers ³³ Ye serpentes, ye generation of vipers, howe wyll ye escape the dampnation of hell

⁵¹ Ye styfnecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy ghost: as your fathers dyd, so do ye

²³ Which when he came, and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they woulde cleaue vnto the Lorde

⁴¹ Then ye aunswered and sayde vnto me, We haue sinned agaynst the Lord: we wyll go vp and fight, according to all that the Lorde our God commaunded vs. And when ye had gyrde on euery man his weapons of warre, ye were redie to go vp into the hyll ⁴² And the Lord sayd vnto me: Say vnto them, go not vp, neither fight, for I am not among you: lest ye fall before your enemies ⁴³ And I tolde you these thynges, & you woulde not heare, but disobayed the worde of the Lord, and went presumptuously vp into the hyll ⁴⁴ And the Amorites whiche dwelt in that mountayne, came out against you, and chased you as bees vse to do, and destroyed you in Seir, euen vnto Horma

¹⁶ And the children of Ioseph sayd, The hill is not ynough for vs: And all ye Chanaanites that dwel in the lowe countrey haue charettes of iron, and so haue they that inhabite Bethlean & the townes of the same, and they also that dwell in the valley of Iezreel ¹⁷ And Iasuah sayde vnto the house of Ioseph, Ephraim, & Manasses: Ye be much people, and haue great power, and shall not therfore haue one lotte ¹⁸ Therfore the hyll shalbe yours, and ye shall cut downe the wood that is in it: and the endes of it shalbe yours, yf ye cast out the Chananaites which haue iron charettes, and are very strong

²⁸ And Gaal the sonne of Obed sayde: what is Abimelech? & what is Sichem, that we shoulde serue him? Is he not the sonne of Ierobaal? & Zebul is his officer? Serue such as come of Hemor the father of Sichem: for what reason is it that we shoulde serue him

³⁸ Then sayd Zebul vnto him: Where is nowe thy mouth that said, what felowe is Abimelech, that we should serue him? Is not this the people that thou hast despysed? Go out now & fight with the ³⁹ And Gaal went out before the citezins of Sichem, & fought with Abimelech ⁴⁰ And Abimelech chased him, that he fled before him, and many were ouerthrowen & wounded, euen vnto the entring of the gate

³⁹ And when the men of Israel retired in ye battell, Beniamin began to smyte dead of the children of Israel about a thirtie persons, and sayde: Surely they are stricken downe before vs, as in the first battell

¹⁰ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: And there was an exceeding great slaughter, for there were ouerthrowen of Israel thirtie thousand footemen

¹ And the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled away from the Philistines, and fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa

² They were weaponed with bowes, and could hurle stones with the right hand and with the left, and shoote arrowes out of a bowe, & were of Sauls brethren, euen of Beniamin

⁵⁷ They turned backewarde, and they went astray like their forefathers: they started aside like a bowe that breaketh

³³ And he sayde vnto him: Lord I am redy to go with thee into pryson, and to death

¹⁶ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Beholde, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people wyll ryse vp, and go a whoryng after straunge gods of the lande whyther they go, and wyll forsake me, and breake the appoyntmet which I haue made with them

²⁰ For I wyll bryng them into the lande which I sware vnto their fathers, that floweth with mylke and honye: and they shall eate, and fyll them selues, and waxe fat, and turne vnto strauge gods, and serue them, and blaspheme me, and breake my couenaunt

¹⁰ And euen so all that generation were put vnto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which neither knewe the Lorde, nor yet the workes whiche he had done for Israel ¹¹ And then the children of Israel dyd wickedly in the sight of the Lorde, and serued Baalim ¹² And forsoke the Lord God of their fathers, whiche brought them out of the lande of Egypt, and folowed straunge goddes, euen of the goddes of the nations that were rounde about them, and bowed them selues vnto them, and angred the Lorde

¹⁴ Nothwithstanding they woulde not heare, but rather hardened their neckes, lyke to the stubburnesse of their fathers, that dyd not beleue in the Lorde their God ¹⁵ For they refused his statutes, and his appoyntment that he made with their fathers, and the witnesses wherwith he witnessed vnto them, and they folowed vanitie, and became vayne, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lorde had charged them that they shoulde not do lyke them

²⁶ Neuerthelesse, they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behinde their backes, & slue their prophetes, which exhorted them earnestly that they might bring them againe vnto thee, and did great blasphemies ²⁷ Therefore thou gauest them ouer into the hand of their enemies that vexed them: And in the time of their trouble whe they cryed vnto thee thou heardest them from heauen, and through thy great mercie thou gauest them sauiours which helped them out of the hande of their enemies ²⁸ But when they came to rest, they turned backe againe to do euill before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hande of their enemies, so that they had the dominion ouer them: And when they conuerted, & cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from heauen, and many times hast thou deliuered them according to thy great mercie ²⁹ And testifiedst vnto them, that thou mightest bring them againe vnto thy lawe: Notwithstanding, they were proude, and hearkened not vnto thy commaundementes, but sinned in thy lawes, which if a man do, he shall lyue in them: and turned the shoulder away, and were stiffenecked, and would not heare

³² Not after the couenaunt that I made with their fathers, when I toke them by the hande and led them out of the lande of Egypt, which couenaunt they brake, yea euen when I as an husbande had rule ouer them saith the Lorde

¹⁸ Of God that begat thee thou art vnmyndfull, and hast forgotten God that made thee

⁷ That they shoulde put their trust in God, and not forget the workes of God: but kepe his commaundementes

¹³ But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell

²¹ (106:21a) They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt ²² (106:21b) wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea

³² Doth a mayde forget her rayment, or a bride her stomacher? but my people hath forgotten me a very long whyle

³ And Iacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the lande of Seir, the fielde of Edom

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: behold, I haue made thee Pharaos God: and Aaron thy brother shalbe thy prophete ² Thou shalt speake all that I commaunde thee, and Aaron thy brother shall speake vnto Pharao, that he sende the children of Israel out of his lande ³ And I will harden Pharaos heart, and multiplie my miracles & my wonders in the lande of Egypt ⁴ But Pharao shall not hearken vnto you, that I may set my hande vpon Egypt, and bryng out myne armies, and my people the chyldren of Israel out of the land of Egypt in great iudgmentes ⁵ And the Egyptians shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I stretch foorth my hande vpon Egypt, and bryng out the children of Israel fro among them ⁶ Moyses and Aaron did as the Lord commaunded them, [euen] so did they ⁷ Moyses was fourescore yere olde, and Aaron fourescore and three, when they spake vnto Pharao ⁸ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying ⁹ If Pharao speake vnto you, saying, shewe a miracle for you: thou shalt say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharao, that it may be a serpent ¹⁰ Then went Moyses and Aaron in vnto Pharao, and dyd euen as the Lorde had commaunded: and Aaron caste foorth his rodde before Pharao, and before his seruauntes, and it [turned] to a serpent ¹¹ Then Pharao called for the wyse men, and enchaunters: and those sorcerers of Egypt dyd in like maner with their sorcerie ¹² For they cast downe euery man his rod, and they [turned] to serpentes: but Aarons rodde did eate vp their roddes ¹³ And he helde Pharaos heart that he hearkened not vnto them, euen as the Lorde had sayde ¹⁴ The Lorde also sayde vnto Moyses: Pharaos heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go ¹⁵ Get thee vnto Pharao in the morning, loe, he wyll come vnto the water, and thou shalt stand vpo the ryuers brincke agaynst he come: and the rodde whiche was turned to a serpent, shalt thou take in thyne hande ¹⁶ And thou shalt say vnto hym: the Lorde God of the Hebrewes hath sent me vnto thee, saying: Let my people go, that they may serue me in the wyldernesse: and beholde, hytherto thou wouldest not heare ¹⁷ Thus sayeth the Lord, In this thou shalt knowe that I am the Lorde: beholde, I wyll smyte with the rodde that is in my hande, the waters whiche are in the ryuers, and they shalbe turned to blood ¹⁸ And the fishe that is in the riuer, shall dye: and the ryuer shall corrupt, and it shall greeue the Egyptians to drinke of the water of the ryuer ¹⁹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses: say vnto Aaron, Take thy rodde, and stretche out thyne hand ouer the waters of Egypt, ouer their streames, ouer their riuers and pondes, and all pooles of water whiche they haue, that they may be blood, and that there may be blood throughout all ye lande of Egypt, both in [vesselles] of wood, & also of stone ²⁰ And Moyses and Aaron did euen as the Lorde commaunded: and he lyfte vp the rodde, and smote the waters that were in the ryuer in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of his seruauntes: and all the water that was in the ryuer, turned into blood ²¹ And the fishe that was in the ryuer dyed: and the ryuer corrupted, and the Egyptians coulde not drinke of the waters of the ryuer, and there was blood throughout all the lande of Egypt ²² And the enchaunters of Egypt dyd lykewyse with their sorceries, and he heardened Pharaos heart, neyther did he hearken vnto them, as the Lorde had sayde ²³ And Pharao turned him selfe, and went agayne into his house, and set not his heart thervnto ²⁴ And the Egyptians dygged rounde about the ryuer for water to drinke: for they coulde not drinke of the water of the ryuer ²⁵ And it continued seuen dayes after that the Lorde had smyten the ryuer

¹ The Lorde spake vnto Moyses, go vnto Pharao & tell hym, Thus sayeth the Lord: Let my people go, that they may serue me ² And if thou refuse to let them go, beholde, I wyll smyte all thy borders with frogges ³ And the riuer shall scraule with frogges, whiche shall go vp and come into thine house, and into thy priuie chaumber where thou slepest, and vpon thy bed, & into the house of thy seruauntes, and vpon thy people, and into thyne ouens, and vpon al thy vitayles in store ⁴ And the frogges shall come vp vpon thee, and on thy people, and vpon all thy seruauntes ⁵ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses: say vnto Aaron, stretch foorth thyne hande with thy rod ouer the streames, ouer the ryuers, and ouer the pondes: and cause frogges to come vp vpon the lande of Egypt ⁶ And Aaron stretched his hande ouer ye waters of Egypt, & the frogges came vp and couered the lande of Egypt ⁷ And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorcerie, and brought frogges vp vpon the lande of Egypt ⁸ Then Pharao called for Moyses and Aaron, and sayde: pray ye vnto the Lorde that he maye take away the frogges from me, and from my people: and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice vnto the Lorde ⁹ And Moyses sayde vnto Pharao: glory herein because of me, and [appoynt] when I shall pray for thee, and for thy seruauntes, and for thy people to dryue away the frogges from thee and thy houses: and they may remayne but in the ryuer onlye ¹⁰ He sayd: to morowe. And he sayde, euen as thou hast said: that thou mayest knowe that there is none like vnto the Lorde our God ¹¹ And so the frogges shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, from thy seruauntes, and from thy people: and shall remayne in the ryuer onlye ¹² Moyses and Aaron went out from Pharao, and Moyses cryed vnto the Lorde, as touching the frogges whiche he had brought against Pharao ¹³ And the Lorde dyd accordyng to the saying of Moyses: and the frogges dyed out of the houses, out of the courtes and fieldes ¹⁴ And they gathered them together vpon heapes, and the lande had an euill smell [through them. ¹⁵ But when Pharao sawe that he had rest geuen him, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not vnto them, as the Lorde had sayde ¹⁶ And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Say vnto Aaron: Stretche out thy rod, and smyte the dust of the lande, that it may be [turned] to lyce throughout all the lande of Egypt ¹⁷ And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hande with his rodde, and smote the dust of the earth, whiche turned to lyce in man and beast: so that all the dust of the lande [turned] to lyce throughout all the lande of Egypt ¹⁸ And the enchaunters assayed likewise with their enchauntmetes to bring foorth lyce, but they coulde not: and the lyce were both vpon men & beastes ¹⁹ Then said the enchaunters vnto Pharao: this is the finger of God. And Pharaos heart remayned obstinate, and he hearkened not vnto them, euen as the Lorde had sayde ²⁰ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: ryse vp early in the mornyng, and stand before Pharao, lo, he wyll come foorth vnto the water, and thou shalt say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lorde: Let my people go that they may serue me ²¹ Els if thou wylt not let my people go, behold, I will send all maner of flyes both vpon thee and thy seruauntes, and thy people, & into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shalbe full of flyes, and the ground wheron they are ²² And the land of Gosen where my people are, will I cause to be wonderfull in that day, so that there shal no flyes be there: wherby thou shalt know that I am the Lorde in the myddest of the earth ²³ And I will put a diuision betweene my people and thine: and euen to morowe shall this miracle be done ²⁴ And the Lord dyd euen so, & there came an intollerable swarme of flyes into the house of Pharao, and into his seruauntes houses, and into all the land of Egypt: and the land was corrupt with these flyes ²⁵ And Pharao called for Moyses and Aaron, and sayd: Go, and do sacrifice vnto your God in this lande ²⁶ And Moyses aunswered, It is not meete that we so do: for we must offer vnto the Lorde our God, that [which is] an abhomination vnto the Egyptians. Lo, if we sacrifice that which is an abhomination vnto the Egyptians before theyr eyes, wyl they not stone vs ²⁷ We wyll go three dayes iourney into the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lorde our God, as he hath comaunded vs ²⁸ And Pharao sayd: I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice vnto the Lorde your God in the wyldernesse, but go not farre away: pray for me ²⁹ And Moyses sayd, beholde, I will go out from thee, and pray vnto the Lord, that the flyes may depart from Pharao, and from his seruauntes, and from his people to morowe: but let Pharao from hence foorth deale deceiptfully no more, that he wyll not let the people go, to sacrifice vnto the Lorde ³⁰ And Moyses went out from Pharao, and prayed vnto the Lorde ³¹ And the Lorde did accordyng to the saying of Moyses: and the flyes departed from Pharao, and from his seruauntes, and from his people: and there remayned not one ³² And Pharao hardened his heart once more at this time, and dyd not let the people go

¹ The Lorde said vnto Moyses, go in vnto Pharao, and thou shalt tell hym, Thus sayeth the Lorde God of the Hebrues: Let my people go, that they may serue me ² If thou refuse to let them go, and wylt holde them styll ³ Beholde, the hande of the Lorde is vpon thy flocke which is in the fielde, [for] vpon Horses, vpon asses, vpon camelles, vpon oxen, and vpon sheepe, there shalbe a mightie great morayne ⁴ And the Lorde shall do wonderfully betweene the beastes of Israel, and the beastes of Egypt, so that there shall nothyng dye of all that pertayneth to the children of Israel ⁵ And the Lorde appoynted a tyme, saying: to morowe the Lorde shall finishe this worde in the lande ⁶ And the Lorde dyd that thyng on the morowe, and all the cattell of Egypt dyed: but of the cattell of the children of Israel, dyed not one ⁷ And Pharao sent, and beholde, there was not one of the cattell of the Israelites dead: And the heart of Pharao hardened, and he did not let the people go ⁸ And the Lord said vnto Moyses and Aaron: take your handes full of asshes out of ye furnace, & Moyses shal sprinckle it vp into the ayre in ye sight of Pharao ⁹ And it shalbe dust in all the lande of Egypt, and shalbe swelling sores with blaynes both on man & beast throughout all the lande of Egypt ¹⁰ And they toke asshes out of the furnace, and stoode before Pharao: and Moyses sprinkled it vp into the ayre, and there were swellyng sores with blaynes, both in men and in beastes ¹¹ And the sorcerers could not stande before Moyses because of the blaynes: for there were botches vpon the enchaunters, and vpon al the Egyptians ¹² And the Lorde hardened the heart of Pharao, and he hearkened not vnto them, as ye Lord had said vnto Moyses ¹³ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: rise vp early in the morning, and stande before Pharao, and thou shalt tell him, Thus sayeth the Lorde God of the Hebrues: Let my people go, that they may serue me ¹⁴ Or els I wyll at this tyme sende all my plagues vpon thine heart, and vpon thy seruauntes, and on thy people, that thou mayest knowe that there is none lyke me in all the earth ¹⁵ For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smyte thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou shalt peryshe from the earth ¹⁶ And in very deede for this cause haue I kept thee, for to shewe thee my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the worlde ¹⁷ Yet exaltest thou thy selfe agaynst my people, that thou wylt not let them go ¹⁸ Beholde, to morowe this time I wyl sende downe a mightie great hayle, euen suche a one as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was layde, vnto this tyme ¹⁹ Sende therfore nowe, and gather thy beastes, & all that thou hast in the fielde: For vpon all the men and the beastes whiche are founde in the fielde, and not brought home, shall the hayle fall, and they shall dye ²⁰ And as many as feared the worde of the Lorde amongest the seruauntes of Pharao, made their seruauntes and their beastes flee into the houses ²¹ But he that regarded not the worde of the Lord, left his seruauntes and his beastes in the fielde ²² And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: stretche foorth thyne hande vnto heauen, that there may be hayle in all the lande of Egypt, vpon man, and vpon beastes, and vpon all the hearbes of the fielde throughout the lande of Egypt ²³ And Moyses stretched foorth his rod vnto heauen, and the Lord thundred and hayled, and the fire ranne a long vpon the grounde, and the Lorde hayled in the lande of Egypt ²⁴ So there was hayle, and fire mingled with the hayle, so greeuous, and such as there was none throughout al the land of Egypt since people inhabited it ²⁵ And the hayle smote throughout all the lande of Egypt all that was in the fielde, both man & beast: and the hayle smote all the hearbes of the fielde, and broke all the trees of the fielde ²⁶ Only in the lande of Gosen where the chyldren of Israel were, was there no hayle ²⁷ And Pharao sent and called for Moyses and Aaron, and sayde vnto them, I haue nowe sinned: the Lorde is righteous, and I & my people are vngodly ²⁸ Pray ye vnto the Lorde, that these thundringes of God and hayle may be sufficient, and I will let you go, and ye shall tary no longer ²⁹ Moyses sayd vnto him: Assoone as I am out of the citie, I wyll spreade abrode my handes vnto the Lorde, and the thunder shall ceasse, neyther shall there be any more hayle: that thou mayest knowe howe that the earth is the Lordes ³⁰ But I knowe that thou and thy seruauntes yet feare not the face of the Lorde God ³¹ And so the flaxe and the barlye were smytten, for the barly was shot vp, and the flaxe was boulled ³² But the wheate and the rye were not smytten, for they were late sowen ³³ And Moyses went out of the citie fro Pharao, and spread abrode his handes vnto the Lorde: and the thunder and hayle ceassed, neyther rayned it vpon the earth ³⁴ And when Pharao sawe that the rayne, and the hayle, and thunder were ceassed, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his seruauntes ³⁵ And the heart of Pharao was hardened, neyther woulde he let the chyldren of Israel go, as the Lorde had sayd by the hande of Moyses

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses, go in vnto Pharao: for I haue hardened his heart, & the heart of his seruauntes, that I might shewe these my signes before hym ² And that thou tell in the audience of thy sonne, & of thy sonnes sonne what thinges I haue done in Egypt, and the miracles which I haue done amongest them: that they may know howe that I am the Lorde ³ And so Moyses and Aaron came vnto Pharao, and said vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God of the Hebrues: How long wilt thou refuse to submit thy selfe vnto me? Let my people go, that they may serue me ⁴ Or els if thou refuse to let my people go, beholde, to morowe wyll I bryng greshoppers into thy coastes ⁵ And they shall couer the face of the earth, that it can not be seene: and they shall eate the residue which remayneth vnto you and is escaped from the hayle, and they shall eate euery greene tree that beareth you fruite in the fielde ⁶ And they shall fill thy houses, and all thy seruauntes houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians, after suche a maner, as neyther thy fathers, nor thy fathers fathers haue seene since the tyme they were vpon the earth vnto this day. And he turned him selfe about, and went out from Pharao ⁷ And Pharaos seruauntes sayde vnto him: howe long shall he be hurtfull vnto vs? Let the men go, that they may serue the Lorde their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed ⁸ And Moyses & Aaron were brought againe vnto Pharao, and he sayde vnto them, Go and serue the Lorde your God: but who are they that shall go ⁹ And Moyses aunswered: we will go with our young, and with our olde, yea, and with our sonnes, & with our daughters, and with our sheepe, and with our oxen we must go: for we must holde a feast vnto the Lorde ¹⁰ And he said vnto them: Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your chyldren: take heede, for ye haue some mischiefe in hande ¹¹ Nay not so, but go they that are men, and serue the Lorde: for that was your desire. And they were thrust out of Pharaos presence ¹² And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Stretch out thyne hand ouer the lande of Egypt for greshoppers, that they may come vpon the land of Egypt, and eate all the hearbes of the lande, and all that the hayle left behynde ¹³ And Moyses stretched foorth his rod ouer the lande of Egypt, and the Lorde brought an east winde vpon the lande all that day, and all that nyght: and in the morning the east winde brought the greshoppers ¹⁴ And the greshoppers went vp ouer all the lande of Egypt, and remayned in all quarters of Egypt very greeuouslye: before them were there no suche greshoppers, neither after them shalbe ¹⁵ For they couered all the face of the earth, so that the lande was darke, and they did eate al the hearbes of the land, and all the fruites of the trees whatsoeuer the hayle had lefte: there was no greene thyng left in the trees & hearbes of the fielde through al ye land of Egypt ¹⁶ Therefore Pharao called for Moyses and Aaron in haste, and sayde: I haue sinned agaynst the Lord your God, and agaynst you ¹⁷ And nowe forgeue me my sinne only this once, and pray vnto the Lord your God that he may take awaye from me this death only ¹⁸ And [Moyses] went out from Pharao, and prayed vnto the Lorde ¹⁹ And the Lorde turned a myghtie strong west wynde, and it toke awaye the grashoppers, and cast them into the red sea: so that there was not one grashopper in all the coastes of Egypt ²⁰ And the Lorde hardened Pharaos heart, so that he woulde not let the children of Israel go ²¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Stretche out thy hande vnto heauen, that there may be vpon the lande of Egypt darknesse which may be felt ²² And Moyses stretched foorth his hand vnto heauen: and there was a thicke darkenesse vpon all the lande of Egypt three dayes long ²³ No man sawe another, neither rose vp from the place where he was by the space of three dayes: But al the children of Israel had light where thei dwelled ²⁴ And Pharao called for Moyses, and sayde, Go, and serue the Lorde: onlye let your sheepe & your oxen abyde, and let your chyldren go with you ²⁵ And Moyses sayde: Thou must geue vs also offeringes and burnt offeringes, for to do sacrifice vnto the Lorde our God ²⁶ Our cattell also shall go with vs, and there shall not one hoofe be left behynd, for therof must we take to serue ye Lorde our God: neither do we knowe with what we must do seruice vnto the Lord vntyll we come thyther ²⁷ But the Lorde hardened Pharaos heart, and he woulde not let them go ²⁸ And Pharao sayde vnto hym: Get thee from me, and take heede vnto thy selfe that thou seest my face no more: for whensoeuer thou commest in my syght, thou shalt dye ²⁹ And Moyses sayde: Let it be as thou hast sayde, I wyll see thy face no more

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Yet wyl I brynge one plague more vpo Pharao, and vpon Egypt, and after that, he wyll let you go hence: when he shal let you go quite, he shall vtterly dryue you hence ² Speake thou therfore in the eares of the people, that euery man borowe of his neighbour, and euery woman of her neighbour, iewels of syluer, and iewels of golde ³ And the Lorde shall geue the people fauour in the syght of the Egyptians: Moreouer, Moyses was a very great man in the lande of Egypt in the syght of Pharaos seruauntes, and in the syght of the people ⁴ And Moyses sayde, Thus sayth the Lorde: At mydnyght, wyll I go out into the myddest of Egypt ⁵ And all the first borne in all the land of Egypt shall dye, euen fro the first borne of Pharao that sytteth on his seate, vnto the first borne of the mayde seruaunt that is behynde the myll, and all the first gendred of the cattell ⁶ And there shalbe a great crye throughout all the lande of Egypt, such as there was neuer none lyke, nor shalbe ⁷ But amongst the chyldren of Israel shal not a dogge moue his tounge, from a man vnto a beast: that ye may knowe how that the Lord putteth a difference betweene the Egyptians and Israel ⁸ And these thy seruauntes shal al come downe vnto me, and fall before me, and say: Get thee out, and all the people that are vnder thee, and then wyll I depart. And he went out from Pharao with an angry countenaunce ⁹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Pharao shall not heare you, that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt ¹⁰ And Moyses and Aaron dyd all these wonders before Pharao: And the Lord hardened Pharaos heart, so that he woulde not let the chyldren of Israel go out of his lande

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron in the lande of Egypt, saying ² This moneth shalbe vnto you ye begynnyng of monethes, and the first moneth of the yere shall it be vnto you ³ Speake ye vnto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth daye of this moneth, euery man take vnto hym a lambe according to ye house of the fathers, a lambe throughout euery house ⁴ If the houshold be to litle for ye lambe, let hym take his neyghbour whiche is next vnto his house, accordyng to the number of the soules, euery one of you accordyng to his eatyng shal make your compt for a lambe ⁵ And let the lambe of yours be without blemishe, a male of a yere olde [whiche] ye shal take out from among the sheepe, and from among the goates ⁶ And ye shall kepe hym in vntyll the fourteenth day of the same moneth: and euery assemble of the congregation of Israel shall kyll hym about euen ⁷ And they shall take of the blood and stryke it on the two [syde] postes, and on the vpper doore post, euen in the houses where they shall eate hym ⁸ And they shall eate the fleshe the same nyght, rost with fire, and with vnleauened bread: and with sowre hearbes they shall eate it ⁹ See that ye eate not therof rawe, nor sodden with water, but roste with fire: the head, feete, and purtenaunce therof ¹⁰ And ye shall let nothyng of it remayne vnto the morning: That which remayneth of it vntyll the morowe, shall ye burne with fire ¹¹ Of this maner shall ye eate it: with your loynes girded, and your shooes on your feete, and your staffe in your hand, and ye shall eate it in haste: for it is the Lordes passouer ¹² For I wyll passe through the lande of Egypt this same nyght, and wyll smyte all the first borne of Egypt from man to beast, and vpon all the gods of Egypt I wyll execute iudgement: I [am] the Lorde ¹³ And the blood shalbe vnto you a token in the houses wherin you are: and whe I see the blood, I wyll passe ouer you, and the plague shall not be vpon you to destroy you when I smyte the lande of Egypt ¹⁴ And this day shalbe vnto you a remebraunce: and you shall kepe it an holy feast vnto the Lorde throughout your generations, ye shall kepe it holy for an ordinaunce for euer ¹⁵ Seuen dayes shal ye eate vnleauened bread, so that euen the first day ye put away leauen out of your house: For who so euer eateth leauened bread from the first daye vntyll the seuenth daye, that soule shalbe rooted out of Israel ¹⁶ The first day shalbe a holy conuocation, and the seuenth day shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you: there shalbe no maner of worke done in the, saue about that only which euery man must eate, that only may ye do ¹⁷ And ye shal obserue the feast of vnleauened bread: for this same day haue I brought your armies out of the lande of Egypt, therefore ye shall obserue this day and all your chyldren after you, by an euerlastyng decree ¹⁸ The first moneth, and the fourteenth daye of the moneth, at euen ye shall eate vnleauened bread, vnto the 21 day of the same moneth at euen againe ¹⁹ Seuen dayes shal ther be no leauened bread founde in your houses: and whosoeuer eateth leauened bread, that soule shalbe rooted out from the congregatio of Israel, whether he be straunger or borne in the lande ²⁰ Ye shall eate nothyng leauened: but in all your habitations shall ye eate vnleauened bread ²¹ Moyses called for the elders of Israel, and sayde vnto them: Choose out, and take you to euery housholde of you a lambe, and kyll the passouer ²² And take a bunche of Isope and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, & strike the vpper post of the doore, and the two syde postes, with the blood that is in the bason: & none of you go out at the doore of his house vntyll the mornyng ²³ For the Lord wyll passe ouer to smyte the Egyptians: and when he seeth the blood vpon the vpper doore post and the two syde postes, he wyll passe ouer the doore, and wyll not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plague you ²⁴ Therfore shall ye obserue this thyng for an ordinaunce to thee & thy sonnes for euer ²⁵ And when ye be come to the lande whiche the Lorde wyll geue you, accordyng as he hath promised, ye shall kepe this seruice ²⁶ And when your chyldren aske you, what maner of seruice is this ye do ²⁷ Ye shall saye, it is the sacrifice of the Lordes passouer, whiche passed ouer the houses of the chyldren of Israel in Egypt, and he smote the Egyptians, and saued our houses. And the people bowed them selues, and worshipped ²⁸ And the chyldren of Israel went and dyd as the Lorde hadde commaunded Moyses and Aaron, euen so dyd they ²⁹ And at mydnyght the Lorde smote the first borne in the lande of Egypt, fro the first borne of Pharao that sate on his seate, vntyl the first borne of the captiue that was in prison, and all the firste gendred of cattell ³⁰ And Pharao rose in the nyght, he and his seruauntes, and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crye in Egypt: for there was not a house where there was not one dead ³¹ And he called vnto Moyses and Aaro by nyght, saying: Ryse vp, and get you out from amongst my people, both you and also the chyldren of Israel: and go, and serue the Lorde as ye haue sayde ³² And take your sheepe and your droues with you as ye haue sayde: and depart, and blesse me ³³ And the Egyptians were fierce vpon the people, that they myght sende them out of the lande in haste: for they sayde, we be all [but] dead men ³⁴ And the people toke there dowgh before it was sowred, whiche they had in store, being bounde in clothes vpon their shoulders ³⁵ And the chyldren of Israel dyd accordyng to the saying of Moyses: and they borowed of the Egyptians iewels of siluer, and iewels of golde, and rayment ³⁶ And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the syght of the Egyptians, so that they graunted such thynges as they required: And they robbed the Egyptians ³⁷ And the children of Israel toke their iourney from Rameses to Suchoth, sixe hundred thousand men of foote, besyde chyldren ³⁸ And a great multitude of sundry other nations wet also with them, and sheepe and oxen, and exceedyng much cattell ³⁹ And they baked vnleauened cakes of the dowgh whiche they brought out of Egypt, for it was not sowred: For they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tary, nether had they prepared for them selues any prouision of meate ⁴⁰ The dwellyng of the chyldren of Israel which they dwelled in Egypt, was foure hundred and thirtie yeres ⁴¹ And when the foure hundred & thirtie yeres were expired, euen the selfe same day departed al the hoastes of the Lord out of the lande of Egypt ⁴² It is a nyght to be obserued vnto the Lorde, in the whiche he brought them out of the lande of Egypt: This is that nyght of the Lorde, whiche all the chyldren of Israel must kepe throughout their generations ⁴³ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses and Aaron, This is the lawe of passouer: there shall no straunger eate thereof ⁴⁴ But euery seruaunt that is bought for money, after that thou hast circumcised hym, shall eate therof ⁴⁵ A straunger & an hired seruaunt shall not eate therof ⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten, thou shalt carry none of the flesshe out of the house, neither shall ye breake a bone therof ⁴⁷ All the congregation of Israel shall obserue it ⁴⁸ If a straunger also dwell among you, and wyl holde passouer vnto the Lord, let him circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and obserue it, and he shalbe as one that is borne in the lande: for no vncircumcised person shall eate therof ⁴⁹ One maner of lawe shalbe vnto hym that is borne in the lande, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth among you ⁵⁰ And all the chyldren of Israel dyd as the Lorde commaunded Moyses and Aaron, euen so dyd they ⁵¹ And the selfe same day, dyd the Lorde bryng the chyldren of Israel out of the lande of Egypt with their armies

²² And they ascended vnto the south, and come vnto Hebron, where Ahiman was and Sesai, and Thalmai, the sonnes of Anac. Hebron was buylt seuen yeres before Zoan in Egypt

³⁴ Or hath God assayed to go and take hym a people from among nations, by temptations, by signes, by wonders, by warre, by a mightie hand, by a stretched out arme, & by great sightes, accordyng vnto all that the Lorde your God dyd vnto you in Egypt before your eyes

²² And the Lorde shewed signes, and wonders, great and euyll vpon Egypt, vpon Pharao, and vpon all his householde, before our eyes

¹⁰ And shewed tokens and wonders vpon Pharao and all his seruauntes, and on all the people of his lande: For thou knowest that they were presumptuous and cruell against them: and so madest thou thee a name as it is this day

⁴² They thought not of his hande: in the day when he redeemed them from the enemie ⁴³ Howe he had wrought his miracles in Egypt: and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan ⁴⁴ For he turned into blood their riuers & fluddes: so that they might not drinke ⁴⁵ He sent amongst them all kind of flyes who dyd eate them: and frogges who destroyed them ⁴⁶ He gaue their fruites vnto the caterpiller: & their labour to the grashopper ⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hayle stones: and their wilde figge trees with the harde frost ⁴⁸ He smote their cattell also with haylestones: and their flockes with thunder boltes ⁴⁹ He cast vpon them the rage of his furie, anger, disdayne, and trouble: by sending foorth euill angels amongst them ⁵⁰ He made away to his indignation, & spared not their soule from death: he gaue their lyfe to be subiect to the pestilence

²⁷ (105:23b) they did their message, workyng his signes among them, and wonders in the lande of Cham ²⁸ (105:24) He sent darknes, & it was darke: and they went not from his wordes ²⁹ (105:25) He turned their waters into blood: and slue their fishe ³⁰ (105:26) Their lande brought foorth frogges: yea euen in their kinges chaumbers ³¹ (105:27) He spake the worde, and there came a swarme of all maner of flyes: [and] of lyce in all their quarters ³² (105:28) He gaue them haylestones for rayne: [and] flambes of fire in their lande ³³ (105:29) He smote their vines also & figge trees: and he destroyed the trees that were in their coastes ³⁴ (105:30) He spake the worde, and the grashoppers came: & caterpillers innumerable ³⁵ (105:31) And they did eate vp all the grasse in their lande: and deuoured the fruite of their grounde ³⁶ (105:32) He smote al the first borne in their land: euen the first fruites of all their concupiscence ³⁷ (105:33) He also brought them foorth with siluer and golde: there was not one feeble person in their tribes ³⁸ (105:34) Egypt was glad at their departing: for they were smytten with dread of them

⁹ He sent tokens and wonders into the mydst of thee O Egypt: against Pharao and all his seruauntes

¹¹ But you foolishe princes of Zoan, ye wise counsaylers of Pharao, whose wit is turned to foolishnesse, howe say ye vnto Pharao, I am come of wise men and of auncient kinges

¹³ The princes of Zoan are become fooles, the princes of Noph are deceaued, they haue deceaued Egypt, euen they that were taken for the chiefe stay therof

¹⁴ As for Pathros, I wil make it desolate, and kindle a fire in Zoan, and I will execute iudgementes in No

¹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying ² Speake to the chyldre of Israel, that they turne & pitch their tentes before Pi-hahiroth betweene Migdol and the sea, ouer agaynst Baal-sephon, and before that shall they pitche by the sea ³ For Pharao wyll say of the chyldren of Israel: they are tangled in the lande, the wyldernesse hath shut them in ⁴ And I wyll harden Pharaos heart, that he shall folowe after you, and I wyll get me honour vpon Pharao, and vpon al his hoast: The Egyptians also shall knowe that I am the Lorde. And they dyd euen so ⁵ And it was tolde the kyng of Egypt that the people fledde. And the heart of Pharao and of his seruauntes turned agaynst the people, and they said: Why haue we done this, that we haue let Israel go out of our seruice ⁶ And he made redy his charette, and toke his people with hym ⁷ And toke sixe hundred chosen charets, and all the charets of Egypt, and capitaynes vpon euery one of them ⁸ And the Lorde hardened the heart of Pharao kyng of Egypt, and he folowed after ye children of Israel: but the childre of Israel went out with an hye hande ⁹ And the Egyptians folowed after the, and al the horses and charettes of Pharao, and his horsemen, and his hoast ouertoke them pitchyng of their tent by the sea beside Pi-hahiroth before Baal-sephon ¹⁰ And when Pharao drewe nygh, the chyldren of Israel lift vp their eyes, and beholde, the Egyptians folowed after them, and they were sore afrayde: and the chyldren of Israel cryed out vnto the Lorde ¹¹ But they sayde vnto Moyses: because there were no graues in Egypt, hast thou therfore brought vs away for to dye in the wildernesse? Wherfore hast thou serued vs thus, for to carry vs out of Egypt ¹² Dyd not we tell thee this in Egypt, saying, let vs be in rest, that we maye serue the Egyptians? For it had ben better for vs to haue serued the Egyptians, then for to dye in the wyldernesse ¹³ And Moyses saide vnto the people: Feare ye not, stande styll, and beholde the saluation of the Lorde whiche he wyll shewe to you this day: For ye that haue seene the Egyptians this day, shal see them no more for euer ¹⁴ The Lorde shall fyght for you, and ye shall holde your peace ¹⁵ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Wherfore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forwarde

²¹ And Moyses stretched out his hande ouer the sea, & the Lorde caused the sea to go backe by a very strong east wynde all that nyght, and made the sea drye [lande] and the waters were deuided

⁸ Through the wynde of thy nosethrils the water gathered together, ye fluddes stoode styll as an heape, and the deepe water congeled together in the heart of the sea

¹⁶ The waters also that came downe fro aboue, did rise vp vpon an heape and departed farre from ye citie of Ada, that was beside Zarthan: And the waters that were beneath towarde ye sea of the wildernes, euen the salt sea, fayled and were cut of: and the people went right ouer against Iericho

⁷ For my loynes are filled with heate: and there is no whole part in my body

⁶ (66:5) He turneth the sea into drye lande, so that they went thorowe the water on foote: there dyd we reioyce in him

⁹ And he rebuked the red sea, and it was dryed vp: so he led them through the deepe, as through a wyldernesse ¹⁰ And he saued them from the hande of suche as hated them: & redeemed them from the hande of the enemie

¹³ Who deuided the red sea in partes: for his mercy endureth for euer ¹⁴ And made Israel to passe through the myddest of it: for his mercy endureth for euer ¹⁵ He ouerthrewe Pharao and his hoast in the red sea: for his mercy endureth for euer

¹³ He led them in the deepe as an horse is led in the playne, that they shoulde not stumble

¹⁵ Thou diddest walke in the sea with thyne horses, vpon the heape of great waters

² And were all baptized vnto Moyses in the cloude, & in the sea ³ And dyd all eate of one spirituall meate

²¹ And the Lorde went before them by day in a pyller of a cloude to leade them the way, and by nyght in a pyller of fire to geue them lyght, that they myght go both by day and nyght ²² The piller of the cloude departed not by daye, nor the pyller of fire by nyght, out of the syght of the people

²⁴ And in the mornyng watche, the Lord loked vnto the hoast of the Egyptians out of the pyller of the fire and of the cloude, and troubled the hoast of the Egyptians

³⁵ And Moyses coulde not enter into the tabernacle of the congregation, because the cloude abode theron, and the glorie of the Lorde fylled the tabernacle ³⁶ And when the cloude was taken vp from of the tabernacle, the children of Israel toke their iourneys throughout their armies ³⁷ And whe the cloude was not taken vp, they iourneyed not tyll it was taken vp ³⁸ For the cloude of the Lord was vpon the tabernacle by day, and fire by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their armies

¹² And leddest them on the day time in a cloudie piller, and on the night season in a piller of fyre, to shewe them light in the way that they went

¹⁹ Yet forsookest thou them not in the wildernesse, according to thy great mercies: And the cloudy piller departed not from them on the day time to leade the the way, neither the piller of fire in the night season, to shewe them light in the way by which they should go

³⁹ (105:35) He spred out a cloude to be a couering: and fire to geue light in the night season

⁶ Beholde, I stande before thee vpon the rocke that is in Horeb, & thou shalt smyte the rocke, and there shall come water out thereof, that the people may drinke. And Moyses dyd euen so before the eyes of the elders of Israel

¹¹ And Moyses lyft vp his hande, and with his rodde he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came out aboundauntly, and the multitude dranke, and their beastes also

⁴¹ (105:37) He opened the rocke of stone and the waters flowed out: so that streames ranne in drye places

⁸ Whiche turned the harde rocke into a standing water: and the flint stone into a springing well of waters

¹⁸ I bryng foorth fluddes in the hilles, and welles in the playne fieldes: I turne the wildernesse to riuers, and the drye lande to conduites of water

²⁰ The wilde beastes shall worship me, the dragons and the young Estriches: for I shall geue water in the wyldernesse, and streames in the desert, that they may geue drinke to my people whom I chose

²¹ They suffred no thirst, he led them through the wildernesse, and caused the waters to flowe out vnto them from out of the rocke: he claue the rocke a sunder, and the water gusshed out

³⁷ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Iesus stoode and cryed, saying: Yf any man thirste, let him come vnto me and drynke ³⁸ He that beleueth on me, as saith the scripture, out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe

⁴ And dyd all drynke of one maner of spirituall drynke. (And they dranke of that spirituall rocke that folowed them, which rocke was Christe.

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

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

⁸ Take the rodde, and gather thou and thy brother Aaron the congregation together, and speake vnto the rocke before their eyes, and it shall geue foorth his water: And thou shalt bryng them water out of the rocke, to geue the companie drynke, and their beastes also

¹⁰ And Moyses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rocke, and [Moyses] sayde vnto them: Heare ye rebelles, must we fetch you water out of this rocke ¹¹ And Moyses lyft vp his hande, and with his rodde he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came out aboundauntly, and the multitude dranke, and their beastes also

¹⁵ And whiche was thy guyde in the great and terrible wyldernesse [wherein were] firie serpentes, scorpions, and drouth without any water: But he brought out water for thee, euen out of the rocke of flint

²¹ And I toke your sinne, the calfe which ye had made, and burnt hym with fire, and stamped hym, and grounde hym very small, euen to dust: and I cast the dust therof into the brooke that descended out of the mount

⁸ Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger, so that the Lorde was wroth with you, euen to haue destroyed you

¹² And the Lord sayde vnto me: Arise, and get thee downe quickly from hence, for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue marred all: They are turned at once out of the waye which I commaunded them, and haue made them a moulten image ¹³ Furthermore, the Lorde spake vnto me, saying: I haue seene this people, and beholde it is a stifnecked people ¹⁴ Let me alone, that I may destroy them, & put out the name of them from vnder heauen, and I wyll make of thee a mightie nation, & greater then they be ¹⁵ And I turned me, and came downe from the hyll, euen from the hyll that burnt with fire, and the two tables of the couenaunt were in my handes ¹⁶ And I loked, and beholde ye had sinned against the Lorde your God, and had made you a moulten calfe, and had turned at once out of the way whiche the Lorde had commaunded you ¹⁷ And I toke the two tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes ¹⁸ And I fell downe flat before the Lord euen as at the first time, & fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes I did neither eate bread nor drinke water, because of all your sinnes which ye sinned, in doyng wyckedly in the sight of the Lorde in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath ¹⁹ (For I was afrayde, that for the wrath and fiercenes wherwith the Lord was moued agaynst you, he would haue destroyed you) But the Lorde heard me at that tyme also ²⁰ The Lorde was very angry with Aaron also, euen to haue destroyed hym: and I made intercession for Aaron also the same tyme ²¹ And I toke your sinne, the calfe which ye had made, and burnt hym with fire, and stamped hym, and grounde hym very small, euen to dust: and I cast the dust therof into the brooke that descended out of the mount ²² Also at the burnyng place, at the place of temptyng, and at the sepulchres of lust, ye prouoked the Lorde to anger

³² Therfore their dayes dyd he consume in vanitie: & their yeres in a short [troublous] time

⁸ To day yf ye wyll heare his voyce harden not your heartes as in the tyme of contention: as in the day of temptation in the wildernesse ⁹ When your fathers tempted me, proued me: [yea after] they had seene my worke ¹⁰ Fourtie yeres long was I greeued with that generation: and I sayde this people erreth in heart, and they haue not knowen my wayes

¹³ But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell ¹⁴ And they were taken with a great lust in the wyldernesse: and they tempted God in the desert ¹⁵ And he gaue them their desire: and sent leannes withal into their soule ¹⁶ They enuied also at Moyses in the tentes: [and] at Aaron the saint of God ¹⁷ So the earth opened and swalowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram ¹⁸ And the fire was kindled in their company: the flambe brent vp the vngodly ¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the moulten image ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calfe that eateth hay ²¹ (106:21a) They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt ²² (106:21b) wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea ²³ (106:22) Wherfore he appointed to destroy them, had not Moyses his chosen stand in the breache before hym: to turne away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them ²⁴ (106:23) Yea they thought scorne of the lande most to be desired: they gaue no credite vnto his worde ²⁵ (106:24) But they murmured in their tentes: they would not hearken vnto the voyce of God ²⁶ (106:25a) Then lift he vp his hand against them, to geue them an ouerthrowe in the wildernesse ²⁷ (106:25b) to geue their seede an ouerthrowe amongst the nations, and to scatter them in sundry landes ²⁸ (106:26) They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor: they also did eate of the sacrifices of the dead ²⁹ (106:27) And they prouoked the [Lorde] vnto anger with their owne inuentions: and a plague fell mightily amongst them ³⁰ (106:28) Then stoode vp Phinehes, he executed iustice: and so the plague ceassed ³¹ (106:29) And that was imputed vnto hym for righteousnesse: in generation and generation for euermore ³² (106:30) They also prouoked [God] at the waters of strife: and all was not well with Moyses for their sakes

¹⁰ But after they prouoked hym to wrath and vexed his holy spirite, he was their enemie, and fought against them hym selfe

¹⁶ For some when they had hearde, dyd prouoke: howe be it, not all that came out of Egypt by Moyses ¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased fourtie yeres? Not with them that had sinned, whose carkases fell in the desert ¹⁸ And to who sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient ¹⁹ And we see that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbeliefe

² And the whole congregation of the chyldren of Israel murmured agaynst Moyses and Aaron in the wyldernesse ³ And the chyldren of Israel sayde vnto them: Woulde to God we had dyed by the hande of the Lorde in the lande of Egypt, whe we sate by the fleshe pottes, and when we dyd eate bread our bellies full: for ye haue brought vs out into this wildernesse, to kyl this whole multitude with hunger

⁴ And a number of people that was among them fell a lustyng, and turned them selues, and wept (euen as dyd also the chyldren of Israel) and sayd: who shall geue vs fleshe to eate

¹⁶ Ye shall not tempt the Lorde your God, as ye dyd in the place of temptation

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, proued me: [yea after] they had seene my worke

²² Because they beleued not in the Lord: nor did put their trust in his saluation

¹³ And yet the house of Israel rebelled agaynst me in the wildernesse, they woulde not walke in my statutes, they haue cast away my iudgementes, which whoso doth shall lyue in them, and my Sabbath dayes haue they greatly polluted: then I sayde, I woulde powre out mine indignation vpon them, and consume them in the wildernesse

³¹ He sayde vnto hym: If they heare not Moyses & the prophetes, neither wyll they beleue, though one rose from death agayne

³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym

¹⁶ But vnto the woman he sayde: I wyll very much multiplie thy sorowe, and thy griefes of chylde bearyng, In sorowe shalt thou bring foorth children: thy desire [shalbe] to thy husbande, and he shall haue the rule of thee ¹⁷ Unto Adam he sayde: Because thou hast hearkened vnto the voyce of thy wyfe, and hast eaten of the tree concernyng the whiche I commaunded thee, saying, thou shalt not eate of it, cursed is the grounde for thy sake, in sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy lyfe ¹⁸ Thorne also and thistle shall it bryng foorth to thee, and thou shalt eate the hearbe of the fielde ¹⁹ In the sweatte of thy face shalt thou eate thy breade, tyll thou be turned agayne into the ground, for out of it wast thou taken: For dust thou art, and into dust shalt thou be turned agayne

²⁹ Your carkasses shall fall in the wyldernesse: And all you that were tolde throughout your numbers from twentie yeres and aboue, whiche haue murmured against me

³⁵ I the Lorde haue sayde, that I wyll do it vnto all this euyll congregation that are gathered together against me: For in this wildernesse they shalbe consumed, and there they shall dye

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of them whom Moyses & Aaron numbred, when they tolde the chyldren of Israel in the wyldernesse of Sinai ⁶⁵ For the Lorde sayde of them: They shall dye in the wyldernesse. And there was not left a man of them, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosuah the sonne of Nun

¹⁴ The space in whiche we came from Cades Barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zared, was thirtie and eyght yeres, vntyll all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from a mong the hoast, as the Lorde sware vnto them ¹⁵ For in deede the hande of the Lorde was against them to destroy them fro among ye hoast, til they were cosumed ¹⁶ And so it came to passe, that all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people

⁶ Neither commeth sorowe out of the ground ⁷ But man is borne vnto labour, like as the sparkes flee vp [out of the hot coles,

¹ Man that is borne of woman, hath but a short time to lyue, and is full of miserie

⁷ For we be consumed through thy displeasure: and we are astonyed through thy wrathfull indignation ⁸ Thou hast set our misdeedes before thee: and our sinnes wherof we be not priuie, in the lyght of thy countenaunce ⁹ For all our dayes do passe in thine anger: we spende our yeres as [in speaking] a worde

² All is but most vayne vanitie saith the preacher, & all is most vayne [I say] and but playne vanitie

¹³ And dyd applie my mynde to seke out & searche for knowledge of all thynges that are done vnder heauen: Such trauayle and labour hath God geuen vnto the children of men, to exercise them selues therin ¹⁴ Thus haue I considered all these thynges that come to passe vnder the sunne: and lo, they are all but vanitie and vexation of mynde

⁸ All is but vanitie (saith the preacher) all is but playne vanitie

¹³ Let vs heare the conclusion of all thinges, Feare God, and kepe his commaundementes: for that toucheth all men ¹⁴ For God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or euyll

⁷ Therfore the people came to Moyses, & sayd: We haue sinned, for we haue spoken agaynst the Lord and agaynst thee: make intercession to the Lord that he take away the serpentes from vs. And Moyses made intercession for ye people

⁸ Therfore the Lorde was angry with Israel, and he solde them into the handes of Chusan Risathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel serued Chusan Risathaim eyght yeres ⁹ And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lorde, the Lorde stirred vp a sauer to the children of Israel, & saued them, euen Othoniel the sonne of Kenes, Calebs younger brother

¹² And the children of Israel agayne committed wickednes in the sight of the Lorde: And the Lorde strengthed Eglon the king of the Moabites, against the children of Israel, because they had committed wickednes before the Lorde ¹³ And this [Eglon] gathered vnto him the children of Ammon, and the Amalekites, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the citie of Panlme trees ¹⁴ And so the children of Israel serued Eglon the king of Moab 18 yeres ¹⁵ But when they cryed vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauer, Ahud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Gemini, a man lame of his right hande: and by him the children of Israel sent a present vnto Eglon the king of Moab

³ And the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord (for he had nine hundreth charettes of yron: & twentie yeres he troubled the children of Israel very sore.

⁷ And the Lord was wroth with Israel, and he solde them into the handes of the Philistines, and into the handes of the children of Ammon ⁸ Which from that yere foorth, pilde and oppressed the children of Israel eyghtteene yeres, al that were on the other side Iordane, in the lande of the Amorites whiche is in Gilead ⁹ Moreouer, ye children of Ammon went ouer Iordane to fight agaynst Iuda, Beniamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was sore cumbred ¹⁰ And the children of Israel cryed vnto ye Lord, saying: We haue sinned against thee, for we haue forsaken our owne God, and haue carued Baalim

⁶ The foote, euen the foote of the poore, and the steppes of suche as be in necessitie shall treade it downe

²³ Thou that dwellest vpon Libanus, and makest thy nest in the Cedar trees, O howe litle shalt thou be regarded when thy sorowe and panges come vppon thee, as vpon a woman trauayling with chylde

¹⁵ I wyll go and returne to my place, tyll they knowledge that they haue sinned and seeke me. In their aduersitie they shall early seeke me

¹⁴ They call not vpon me with their heartes, but lye howlyng vpon their beddes: they wyll assemble them selues for corne and wine, but rebel against me

⁶ Wherfore say vnto the children of Israel: I am Iehouah, I wil bryng you out from the burthens of the Egyptians, and will ryd you out of their bondage, and will deliuer you in a stretched out arme, and in great iudgementes

¹³ Thou in thy mercie hast caryed this people which thou hast redeemed, and hast brought them in thy strength vnto thy holy habitation

⁸ But because the Lorde loued you, and because he would kepe the othe which he had sworne vnto your fathers, therfore hath the Lorde brought you out through a mightie hande, and deliuered you out of the house of bondage, euen from the hande of Pharao kyng of Egypt

²⁶ I made intercession therfore vnto the Lord, and sayd: O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thyne inheritaunce whiche thou hast deliuered through thy great goodnesse, and whiche thou hast brought out of Egypt thorowe a myghtie hande

¹⁵ And remember that thou wast a seruaunt in the lande of Egypt, and the Lorde thy God deliuered thee thence: and therfore I commaunde thee this thyng to day

⁴ Perfect is the worke of the most mightie God, for all his wayes are iudgement: He is a God of trueth, without wickednesse, righteous and iust is he

¹⁵ But he that shoulde haue ben vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: Thou art well fed, thou art growen thicke, thou art euen laden with fatnesse: And he forsoke God his maker, and regarded not the God of his saluation

³⁰ Howe shoulde one chase a thousande, & two put ten thousand to flyght, except their maker had solde them, and except the Lorde had shut them vp ³¹ For their god is not as our God: our enemies also them selues are iudges

² Remember thy congregation, thou hast possest it nowe a long tyme: thou hast redeemed the rodde of thine inheritaunce, euen mount Sion wherein thou dwellest

⁴² They thought not of his hande: in the day when he redeemed them from the enemie

²¹ (106:21a) They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt

¹⁴ Be not afraide thou litle worme Iacob, and thou despised Israel: for I wil helpe thee saith the Lorde, and the holy one of Israel thy redeemer

⁶ Thus hath the Lorde spoken, euen the kyng of Israel, and his redeemer the Lorde of hoastes: I am the first and the last, and besides me there is no God

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 For he sayde, These no doubt are my people, and no shrinking chyldren: and so was he their sauiour ⁹ In their troubles, he was also troubled with them, and the angell that went foorth from his presence deliuered them: of very loue and kindnesse that he had vnto them, he redeemed them, he hath borne them and caried them vp euer since the worlde began

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 And the Lorde hearde the voyce of your wordes when ye spake vnto me, and the Lorde sayde vnto me: I haue hearde the voyce of the wordes of this people, which they haue spoken vnto thee: they haue well sayde all that they haue spoken ²⁹ Oh that there were such an heart in them that they woulde feare me, & kepe all my comaundementes alway, that it myght go well with them, and with their childen for euer

⁴⁴ (18:42b) assoone as they hearde of me, they obeyed me

¹² Then beleued they his wordes: and song prayse vnto him ¹³ But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell

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

¹¹ For whom wylt thou be abashed or feare, seing thou hast broken thy promise, and remembrest not me, neither hast me in thyne heart? Thinkest thou that I also wyll holde my peace as aforetime, that thou fearest me not

³¹ They come vnto thee as the people vseth to come, and my people syt before thee, and heare thy wordes, but they do not therafter: for in their mouthes they make a iest of them, and their heart goeth after their couetousnes

¹² Ephraim compasseth me about with lyes, & the house of Israel with deceipt: but Iuda yet ruleth with God, and is faithfull with the saintes

¹⁷ [And though] all this be come vpon vs: [yet] we do not forget thee, nor shewe our selues to be false in thy couenaunt ¹⁸ (44:18a) Our heart is not turned backe, neither our steppes be declined out of thy pathes

¹⁰ Make thou vnto me a cleane heart O Lorde: and renue thou a ryght spirite within me

⁸ And that they be not as their forefathers [were] a rebellious and a mutable generation: a generation that directed not their heart aright, and whose spirite cleaued not stedfastly vnto God

⁸⁰ (119:8) Let myne heart be perfectly [set] in thy statutes: that I be not ashamed

¹⁶ They turne them selues, but not to the most hyest, and are become as a broken bowe, their princes shalbe slayne with the sworde for the malice of their tongues: this shalbe their derision in the lande of Egypt

² Their heart is deuided, [therfore] shall they nowe be destroyed, [the Lorde] shall breake downe their images, he shall destroy their aulters

²¹ Thou hast neither part nor felowship in this busynesse: For thy hearte is not ryght in the syght of God

⁶ And the Lorde passed by before hym, and cryed, Lorde, Lorde, God, strong, mercyfull and gracious, long suffering, and aboundaunt in goodnes & trueth ⁷ And kepyng mercy in store for thousandes, forgeuing wickednes, vngodlynes and sinne, and not leauing one innocent, visiting the wickednes of the fathers vpon the chyldren, and vpon the chyldrens chyldren, [euen] vnto the third and fourth generation ⁸ And Moyses made haste, and bowed hym selfe to the earth, and worshipped ⁹ And sayd: If I haue founde grace in thy sight, O Lorde, then let my Lorde I pray thee go in the middest of vs, for it is a styfnecked people: and thou shalt haue mercy vpon our wickednes and our sinne, and shalt take vs for thine inheritaunce

¹⁸ The Lorde is long yer he be angrie, and of great mercy, and suffreth iniquitie and sinne, and leaueth no man innocent, and visiteth the vnrighteousnesse of the fathers vpon the chyldren, in the thirde and fourth generations ¹⁹ Be mercyfull I beseche thee vnto the sinne of this people accordyng vnto thy great mercy, as thou hast forgeuen this people from Egypt, euen vntyll nowe ²⁰ And the Lorde sayde: I haue forgeuen it, according to thy request

⁴⁴ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying ⁴⁵ Get you from among this congregation, that I may consume the quickly. And they fell vpon their faces ⁴⁶ And Moyses sayd vnto Aaron: Take a censer, and put fire therin out of the aulter, and powre on incense, and go quickly vnto the congregation, & make an attonement for them: For there is wrath gone out from the Lorde, and there is a plague begunne ⁴⁷ And Aaron toke as Moyses comaunded hym, and ranne into the middes of ye congregation: and beholde, the plague was begunne among the people, and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people ⁴⁸ And whe he stoode betweene the dead and them that were alyue, the plague was stayed

²⁰ And he dyd euyll in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasse dyd

⁴³ (106:41) Many a time dyd [God] deliuer them, but they rebelled [against hym] with their owne inuentions: and were brought downe for their wickednes ⁴⁴ (106:42) Neuerthelesse, he did beholde them in their aduersitie: in geuing eare to their complaint ⁴⁵ (106:43) And he remembred his couenaunt: and repented, according to the multitude of his mercies

²¹ Consider this O Iacob and Israel, for thou art my seruaunt: I made thee that thou mightest serue me, O Israel forget me not ²² As for thyne offences I haue driuen them away lyke the cloudes, and thy sinnes as the mist: Turne thee agayne vnto me, for I haue redeemed thee

⁹ Neuerthelesse, for my names sake I wyll withdrawe my wrath, and for my honours sake I will patiently forbeare thee, that I do not roote thee out

⁸ But they rebelled against me, and woulde not hearken vnto me, they dyd not cast away euery man the abhominations of his eyes, neither dyd they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said I woulde powre out mine indignation ouer them, and accomplishe my wrath vpon them, yea euen in the middest of the lande of Egypt ⁹ And I wrought for my names sake that it shoulde not be polluted before the heathen among whom they were, to whom I was manifestly knowen, in bryngyng them foorth of the lande of Egypt

¹³ And yet the house of Israel rebelled agaynst me in the wildernesse, they woulde not walke in my statutes, they haue cast away my iudgementes, which whoso doth shall lyue in them, and my Sabbath dayes haue they greatly polluted: then I sayde, I woulde powre out mine indignation vpon them, and consume them in the wildernesse ¹⁴ And I wrought for my names sake, lest it shoulde be defiled before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out

¹⁷ Neuerthelesse mine eye spared them, so that I woulde not destroy them, nor consume them in the wildernesse

²¹ Notwithstandyng, their sonnes rebelled agaynst me also, they walked not in my statutes, they kept not my iudgementes to fulfyll them, which he that doth shall liue in them, they prophaned my Sabbath dayes: and I sayde, I woulde powre out mine indignation ouer them, and accomplishe my wrath vpon them in the wildernesse ²² Neuerthelesse, I withdrewe my hand and wrought for my names sake, lest it shoulde be defiled in the sight of the heathen, before whom I had brought them foorth

³ And the Lorde sayde: My spirite shall not alwayes stryue with man, because he is fleshe: yet his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeres

⁷ O remember that my lyfe is but a winde, and that myne eye shall no more see pleasures

¹⁶ I can see no remedy, I shall liue no more: O spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie

⁹ Remember I besech thee that thou madest me as the moulde of the earth, and shalt bring me into dust againe

¹⁴ For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust ¹⁵ The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde ¹⁶ For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is no more [seene]: and the place therof knoweth it no more

⁶ That which is borne of the fleshe, is fleshe: and that which is borne of the spirite, is spirite

¹⁴ And yet can not ye tel what shall happen on the morowe. For what thyng is your lyfe? It is euen a vapour, that appeareth for a litle tyme, and then he vanisheth away

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Howe long do this people prouoke me, and how long wyll it be yer they beleue me, for all the signes which I haue shewed among them

¹⁷ Yet for all this they sinned still against hym: so that they prouoked the most hyghest in the wildernesse

¹⁴ And they were taken with a great lust in the wyldernesse: and they tempted God in the desert ¹⁵ And he gaue them their desire: and sent leannes withal into their soule ¹⁶ They enuied also at Moyses in the tentes: [and] at Aaron the saint of God ¹⁷ So the earth opened and swalowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram ¹⁸ And the fire was kindled in their company: the flambe brent vp the vngodly ¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the moulten image ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calfe that eateth hay ²¹ (106:21a) They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt ²² (106:21b) wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea ²³ (106:22) Wherfore he appointed to destroy them, had not Moyses his chosen stand in the breache before hym: to turne away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them ²⁴ (106:23) Yea they thought scorne of the lande most to be desired: they gaue no credite vnto his worde ²⁵ (106:24) But they murmured in their tentes: they would not hearken vnto the voyce of God ²⁶ (106:25a) Then lift he vp his hand against them, to geue them an ouerthrowe in the wildernesse ²⁷ (106:25b) to geue their seede an ouerthrowe amongst the nations, and to scatter them in sundry landes ²⁸ (106:26) They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor: they also did eate of the sacrifices of the dead ²⁹ (106:27) And they prouoked the [Lorde] vnto anger with their owne inuentions: and a plague fell mightily amongst them ³⁰ (106:28) Then stoode vp Phinehes, he executed iustice: and so the plague ceassed ³¹ (106:29) And that was imputed vnto hym for righteousnesse: in generation and generation for euermore ³² (106:30) They also prouoked [God] at the waters of strife: and all was not well with Moyses for their sakes ³³ (106:31) For they had caused an alteration to be of his spirite: so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lippes

¹¹ (107:10) Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde: and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest

¹³ The prophete aunswered, Then heare ye of the house of Dauid: Is it not inough for you that ye be greeuous vnto me, but ye must greeue my God also

³⁰ And greeue not the holy spirite of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto the day of redemption

¹⁵ So long as it is said: to day yf ye wyll heare his voyce, harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng ¹⁶ For some when they had hearde, dyd prouoke: howe be it, not all that came out of Egypt by Moyses ¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased fourtie yeres? Not with them that had sinned, whose carkases fell in the desert

⁴ And they sayd one to another: Let vs make a captayne, and returne vnto Egypt agayne

²² But all those men whiche haue seene my glory, and my miracles whiche I did in Egypt and in the wildernesse, and haue tempted me nowe this ten tymes, and haue not hearkened vnto my voyce

²² Whom hast thou rayled on? and whom hast thou blasphemed? Against whom hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lyfted vp thyne eyes so hye? Euen against the holy of Israel

¹⁹ They spake against God: they said, can God prepare a table in the wildernesse ²⁰ Beholde, he hath smytten the stonie rocke, and waters haue gushed out, and streames haue flowed out aboundantly: but can he likewise geue bread, can he prouide fleshe for his people

¹⁸ For our shielde is of God: and our king is of the most holy of Israel

³⁵ Whyle he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogues [house], certayne, which sayde: thy daughter is dead, why diseasest thou the maister any further ³⁶ Assoone as Iesus hearde the worde that was spoken, he sayde vnto the ruler of the synagogue, be not afrayde, only beleue

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

⁸ Harden not your heartes, as in the prouokyng, in the day of the temptation in the wyldernesse ⁹ Where your fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes 40 yeres ¹⁰ Wherfore I was greeued with that generation, and sayde: they do alway erre in heart, they veryly haue not knowen my wayes ¹¹ So that I sware in my wrath, yf they shall enter into my rest

²¹ For it had ben better for them not to haue knowen the way of righteousnes, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commaundement that was geuen vnto them ²² But the same is happened vnto them that is vsed to be spoken by the true prouerbe: The dogge is tourned to his owne vomite againe, and the sowe that was wasshed, is turned againe to her wallowyng in the myre

⁹ And it shalbe as a signe vnto thee vppon thyne hande, and as a remembraunce betweene thyne eyes, that the Lordes lawe may be in thy mouth: for in a strong hande the Lorde brought thee out of Egypt

¹² Dyd not we tell thee this in Egypt, saying, let vs be in rest, that we maye serue the Egyptians? For it had ben better for vs to haue serued the Egyptians, then for to dye in the wyldernesse

³⁰ Thus the Lorde deliuered Israel the selfe same daye out of the hande of the Egyptians: and Israel sawe the Egyptians dead vpon the sea syde ³¹ And Israel sawe that myghtie power which the Lorde shewed vpon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lorde, and beleued the Lorde and his seruaunt Moyses

³⁴ And the children of Israel thought not on the Lorde their God, which had deliuered them out of the handes of all their enemies on euery syde

²¹ Wherefore God hearde [them,] he was wroth, a fire was kindled in Iacob: and there arose vp heauy displeasure against Israel ²² Because they beleued not in the Lord: nor did put their trust in his saluation

⁷ Our fathers did not well consider thy wonders in Egypt, neither did they remember thy manifolde great goodnes: but they rebelled at the sea, euen at the red sea ⁸ Neuerthelesse, he saued them for his names sake: that he myght make his power to be knowen

¹⁰ Who smote Egypt with their first borne: for his mercy endureth for euer ¹¹ And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for euer ¹² With a mightie hande and a stretched out arme: for his mercy endureth for euer

¹¹ At the same time shall the Lord take in hande agayne to recouer the remnaunt of his people, whiche shalbe left aliue from the Assirians, Egyptians, Arabians, Morians, Elamites, Chaldees, Antiochians, & from the Ilandes of the sea

²¹ Thou hast brought thy people of Israel out of the lande of Egypt, with tokens, with wonders, with a mightie hande, with a stretched out arme, and with great terriblenesse

¹⁹ And I am sure that the king of Egypt wyl not let you go, no not in a mightie hande ²⁰ And I wyll stretche out my hande, & smyte Egypt with al my wonders whiche I wyll do in the middes therof, and after that he wyll let you go

²¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: When thou art entred and come into Egypt agayne, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharao whiche I haue put in thy hand: but I wyll hold his heart, & he shal not let the people go

³ And I will harden Pharaos heart, and multiplie my miracles & my wonders in the lande of Egypt

¹⁷ Thus sayeth the Lord, In this thou shalt knowe that I am the Lorde: beholde, I wyll smyte with the rodde that is in my hande, the waters whiche are in the ryuers, and they shalbe turned to blood ¹⁸ And the fishe that is in the riuer, shall dye: and the ryuer shall corrupt, and it shall greeue the Egyptians to drinke of the water of the ryuer ¹⁹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses: say vnto Aaron, Take thy rodde, and stretche out thyne hand ouer the waters of Egypt, ouer their streames, ouer their riuers and pondes, and all pooles of water whiche they haue, that they may be blood, and that there may be blood throughout all ye lande of Egypt, both in [vesselles] of wood, & also of stone ²⁰ And Moyses and Aaron did euen as the Lorde commaunded: and he lyfte vp the rodde, and smote the waters that were in the ryuer in the sight of Pharao, and in the sight of his seruauntes: and all the water that was in the ryuer, turned into blood ²¹ And the fishe that was in the ryuer dyed: and the ryuer corrupted, and the Egyptians coulde not drinke of the waters of the ryuer, and there was blood throughout all the lande of Egypt

²⁹ (105:25) He turned their waters into blood: and slue their fishe

³ And the second angell shed out his vial vpon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man: and euery lyuyng thyng dyed in the sea ⁴ And the thirde angell shed out his viall vpon the ryuers and fountaynes of waters, and they turned to blood ⁵ And I hearde the angell of the waters say: Lorde, which art, and wast, thou art ryghteous & holy, because thou hast geuen such iudgementes ⁶ For they shed out the blood of saintes and prophetes, and therfore hast thou geuen them blood to drynke: for they are worthie

² And if thou refuse to let them go, beholde, I wyll smyte all thy borders with frogges ³ And the riuer shall scraule with frogges, whiche shall go vp and come into thine house, and into thy priuie chaumber where thou slepest, and vpon thy bed, & into the house of thy seruauntes, and vpon thy people, and into thyne ouens, and vpon al thy vitayles in store ⁴ And the frogges shall come vp vpon thee, and on thy people, and vpon all thy seruauntes ⁵ And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses: say vnto Aaron, stretch foorth thyne hande with thy rod ouer the streames, ouer the ryuers, and ouer the pondes: and cause frogges to come vp vpon the lande of Egypt ⁶ And Aaron stretched his hande ouer ye waters of Egypt, & the frogges came vp and couered the lande of Egypt ⁷ And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorcerie, and brought frogges vp vpon the lande of Egypt ⁸ Then Pharao called for Moyses and Aaron, and sayde: pray ye vnto the Lorde that he maye take away the frogges from me, and from my people: and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice vnto the Lorde ⁹ And Moyses sayde vnto Pharao: glory herein because of me, and [appoynt] when I shall pray for thee, and for thy seruauntes, and for thy people to dryue away the frogges from thee and thy houses: and they may remayne but in the ryuer onlye ¹⁰ He sayd: to morowe. And he sayde, euen as thou hast said: that thou mayest knowe that there is none like vnto the Lorde our God ¹¹ And so the frogges shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, from thy seruauntes, and from thy people: and shall remayne in the ryuer onlye ¹² Moyses and Aaron went out from Pharao, and Moyses cryed vnto the Lorde, as touching the frogges whiche he had brought against Pharao ¹³ And the Lorde dyd accordyng to the saying of Moyses: and the frogges dyed out of the houses, out of the courtes and fieldes ¹⁴ And they gathered them together vpon heapes, and the lande had an euill smell [through them. ¹⁵ But when Pharao sawe that he had rest geuen him, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not vnto them, as the Lorde had sayde

²¹ Els if thou wylt not let my people go, behold, I will send all maner of flyes both vpon thee and thy seruauntes, and thy people, & into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shalbe full of flyes, and the ground wheron they are ²² And the land of Gosen where my people are, will I cause to be wonderfull in that day, so that there shal no flyes be there: wherby thou shalt know that I am the Lorde in the myddest of the earth ²³ And I will put a diuision betweene my people and thine: and euen to morowe shall this miracle be done ²⁴ And the Lord dyd euen so, & there came an intollerable swarme of flyes into the house of Pharao, and into his seruauntes houses, and into all the land of Egypt: and the land was corrupt with these flyes

³⁰ (105:26) Their lande brought foorth frogges: yea euen in their kinges chaumbers ³¹ (105:27) He spake the worde, and there came a swarme of all maner of flyes: [and] of lyce in all their quarters

³ And the second angell shed out his vial vpon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man: and euery lyuyng thyng dyed in the sea

¹² And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Stretch out thyne hand ouer the lande of Egypt for greshoppers, that they may come vpon the land of Egypt, and eate all the hearbes of the lande, and all that the hayle left behynde ¹³ And Moyses stretched foorth his rod ouer the lande of Egypt, and the Lorde brought an east winde vpon the lande all that day, and all that nyght: and in the morning the east winde brought the greshoppers ¹⁴ And the greshoppers went vp ouer all the lande of Egypt, and remayned in all quarters of Egypt very greeuouslye: before them were there no suche greshoppers, neither after them shalbe ¹⁵ For they couered all the face of the earth, so that the lande was darke, and they did eate al the hearbes of the land, and all the fruites of the trees whatsoeuer the hayle had lefte: there was no greene thyng left in the trees & hearbes of the fielde through al ye land of Egypt

³⁴ (105:30) He spake the worde, and the grashoppers came: & caterpillers innumerable ³⁵ (105:31) And they did eate vp all the grasse in their lande: and deuoured the fruite of their grounde

⁴ That which the caterpiller hath left the grashopper hath eaten, and what the grashopper left hath the canker worme eaten, and what the canker worme left the locust hath deuoured ⁵ Awake ye drunkardes, & weepe, howle all ye wine bibbers for lacke of newe wine: for it is cleane taken away from your mouth ⁶ For a nation is come vp vpon my lande, mightie and without number: his teeth are as the teeth of a lion, and he hath the iawes of a great lion ⁷ He hath destroyed my vine, & barked my figge tree, he hath pilled it and cast it from him, and hath left bowes therof whyte

²⁵ And I wyll restore to you the yeres which the grashopper, the canker worme, the locust, and the caterpiller haue deuoured, my great armie which I sent amongst you

¹ Thus hath the Lorde God shewed vnto me, & beholde, he fourmed grashoppers in the beginning of the shooting vp of ye latter growth, and lo it was in the latter growth, after the kinges mowing ² And when they hath made an end of eating the grasse of the lande, then I sayde, O Lorde God, spare I beseche thee: who shall rayse vp Iacob? for he is smal

² And he opened the bottomlesse pit, and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great fornace, and the sunne and the ayre were darkened by the reason of the smoke of the pit ³ And there came out of the smoke locustes vpon the earth, and vnto them was geuen power, as the scorpions of the earth haue power ⁴ And it was commaunded them that they shoulde not hurt the grasse of the earth, neither any greene thing, neither any tree: but only those men which haue not the seale of God in their forheades ⁵ And to them was commaunded that they should not kyll them, but that they shoulde be vexed fiue monethes, and their paine was as the payne that commeth of a scorpion when he hath stong a man ⁶ And in those dayes shall men seke death, and shall not fynde it, and shall desire to dye, and death shall flee from them ⁷ And the similitude of the locustes was like vnto horses prepared vnto battayle, and on their heades were as it were crownes lyke vnto golde, and their faces were as it had ben the faces of men ⁸ And they had heere as the heere of women, & their teeth were as ye teeth of Lions ⁹ And they had habbergions as it were habbergions of iron, and the sounde of their wynges was as ye sounde of charrettes when many horses runne together to batayle ¹⁰ And they had tayles lyke vnto scorpions, and there were stynges in their tayles: and their power was to hurt men fiue monethes ¹¹ And they had a king ouer them, which is the angell of the bottomlesse pytte, whose name in the Hebrue tongue is Abadon, but in ye Greke tongue Apollyon, [that is to say, a destroyer.

¹⁸ Beholde, to morowe this time I wyl sende downe a mightie great hayle, euen suche a one as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was layde, vnto this tyme ¹⁹ Sende therfore nowe, and gather thy beastes, & all that thou hast in the fielde: For vpon all the men and the beastes whiche are founde in the fielde, and not brought home, shall the hayle fall, and they shall dye ²⁰ And as many as feared the worde of the Lorde amongest the seruauntes of Pharao, made their seruauntes and their beastes flee into the houses ²¹ But he that regarded not the worde of the Lord, left his seruauntes and his beastes in the fielde ²² And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: stretche foorth thyne hande vnto heauen, that there may be hayle in all the lande of Egypt, vpon man, and vpon beastes, and vpon all the hearbes of the fielde throughout the lande of Egypt ²³ And Moyses stretched foorth his rod vnto heauen, and the Lord thundred and hayled, and the fire ranne a long vpon the grounde, and the Lorde hayled in the lande of Egypt ²⁴ So there was hayle, and fire mingled with the hayle, so greeuous, and such as there was none throughout al the land of Egypt since people inhabited it ²⁵ And the hayle smote throughout all the lande of Egypt all that was in the fielde, both man & beast: and the hayle smote all the hearbes of the fielde, and broke all the trees of the fielde ²⁶ Only in the lande of Gosen where the chyldren of Israel were, was there no hayle ²⁷ And Pharao sent and called for Moyses and Aaron, and sayde vnto them, I haue nowe sinned: the Lorde is righteous, and I & my people are vngodly ²⁸ Pray ye vnto the Lorde, that these thundringes of God and hayle may be sufficient, and I will let you go, and ye shall tary no longer ²⁹ Moyses sayd vnto him: Assoone as I am out of the citie, I wyll spreade abrode my handes vnto the Lorde, and the thunder shall ceasse, neyther shall there be any more hayle: that thou mayest knowe howe that the earth is the Lordes ³⁰ But I knowe that thou and thy seruauntes yet feare not the face of the Lorde God ³¹ And so the flaxe and the barlye were smytten, for the barly was shot vp, and the flaxe was boulled ³² But the wheate and the rye were not smytten, for they were late sowen ³³ And Moyses went out of the citie fro Pharao, and spread abrode his handes vnto the Lorde: and the thunder and hayle ceassed, neyther rayned it vpon the earth ³⁴ And when Pharao sawe that the rayne, and the hayle, and thunder were ceassed, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his seruauntes

³² (105:28) He gaue them haylestones for rayne: [and] flambes of fire in their lande ³³ (105:29) He smote their vines also & figge trees: and he destroyed the trees that were in their coastes

¹⁹ Sende therfore nowe, and gather thy beastes, & all that thou hast in the fielde: For vpon all the men and the beastes whiche are founde in the fielde, and not brought home, shall the hayle fall, and they shall dye

²⁸ Pray ye vnto the Lorde, that these thundringes of God and hayle may be sufficient, and I will let you go, and ye shall tary no longer

¹³ And the blood shalbe vnto you a token in the houses wherin you are: and whe I see the blood, I wyll passe ouer you, and the plague shall not be vpon you to destroy you when I smyte the lande of Egypt

⁷ And in thy great glorie thou hast ouerthrowe them that rose vp agaynst thee: thou sendest foorth thy wrath, whiche consumed them euen as stubble

¹⁶ And when the angel stretched out his hand vpon Hierusalem to destroy it, the Lorde repented him of the euill, & saide to the angel that destroyed the people: It is now sufficient, holde thyne hand. And the angell of the Lord was by the threshing place of Areuna the Iebusite

²¹ And there came foorth a certayne spirite, and stoode before the Lorde, and sayde: I will persuade him. And the Lorde sayde vnto him: Wherwith ²² And he sayde: I will go out, and be a false spirite in the mouth of all his prophetes. He sayde, Thou shalt persuade him and preuayle: Go foorth then, & do euen so

¹² And the Lorde saide vnto Satan: Lo, all that he hath be in thy power, only vpon him selfe see that thou lay not thine hand. And Satan went foorth from the presence of the Lorde

⁶ And the Lord sayde vnto Satan: Lo, he is in thyne hand, but saue his lyfe ⁷ So went Satan foorth from the presence of the Lorde, and smote Iob with sore byles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne

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

⁶ Upon ye vngodly he wyl rayne snares, fire and brimstone: and tempestious stormes shalbe their portion to drinke

²⁵ Therfore he hath powred vpon hym his wrathfull displeasure and strong battayle, and hath fired hym on euery side, yet wyll he not vnderstand: he burneth hym vp, yet sinketh it not into his heart

¹¹ The Lorde hath perfourmed his heauie wrath, he hath powred out the furiousnesse of his displeasure: he hath kindeled a fire in Sion, which hath consumed the foundations therof

⁸ Therfore wayte ye vpon me, sayth the Lorde, vntill the time that I ryse vp to the pray: for I am determined to gather the people, & to bring the kingdomes together, that I may poure out myne anger, yea all my wrathfull displeasure vpon them: For all the earth shalbe consumed with the fire of my ielousie

⁸ But vnto them that are contentious, & that do not obey the trueth, but obey vnrighteousnes [shall come] indignation, and wrath ⁹ Tribulation, and anguishe, vpon euery soule of man that doeth euyll, of the Iewe first, and also of the Greke

³ Beholde, the hande of the Lorde is vpon thy flocke which is in the fielde, [for] vpon Horses, vpon asses, vpon camelles, vpon oxen, and vpon sheepe, there shalbe a mightie great morayne ⁴ And the Lorde shall do wonderfully betweene the beastes of Israel, and the beastes of Egypt, so that there shall nothyng dye of all that pertayneth to the children of Israel ⁵ And the Lorde appoynted a tyme, saying: to morowe the Lorde shall finishe this worde in the lande ⁶ And the Lorde dyd that thyng on the morowe, and all the cattell of Egypt dyed: but of the cattell of the children of Israel, dyed not one

²² God shal cast vpon him, and not spare, though he woulde fayne flee out of his hande

¹¹ Wherfore, as truly as I lyue saith the Lorde God, seyng thou hast defiled my sanctuarie with all maner of abhominations, and with all shamefull offences: For this cause will I also destroy thee, mine eye shall not spare thee, neither wyll I haue any pitie

⁴ Mine eye shall not spare thee, neither wyll I haue pitie, but rewarde thee accordyng to thy wayes, & declare thine abhominations: then shall ye knowe that I am the Lorde

⁹ Mine eye shall not spare, neither wyll I haue pitie, but rewarde thee after thy wayes, & thine abhominations shalbe in the middest of thee: and ye shal knowe that I am the Lorde that smiteth

¹⁸ Therfore wyll I also do somethyng in my wrathful displeasure, so that mine eye shall not spare them, neither wyll I haue pitie: yea and though they crye in mine eares with a loude voyce, yet wyll I not heare them

¹⁰ As touchyng me also, mine eye shall not spare them, neither wyll I haue pitie: but wyll recompence their wayes vpon their heades

³² Which spared not his owne sonne, but gaue hym for vs all: Howe shall he not with hym also geue vs all thynges

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 ⁵ Neither spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eyght [person] a preacher of ryghteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the worlde of the vngodly

²² And Ham the father of Chanaan, seeyng the nakednesse of his father, tolde his two brethren without ²³ And Sem and Iapheth takyng a garment, layde it vpon their shoulders, and commyng backwarde, couered the nakednesse of their father, namely their faces beyng turned away, lest they should see their fathers nakednesse ²⁴ And Noah awoke from his wine, and knewe what his younger sonne had done vnto him ²⁵ And he sayde: cursed be Chanaan, a seruaunt of seruauntes shall he be vnto his brethren

⁶ The children of Ham, Chus: and Mizraim, and Phut, and Chanaan

³ Ruben my first borne, thou art my myght, & the beginning of my strength, the noblenesse of dignitie, and the noblenesse of power

¹² For I wyll passe through the lande of Egypt this same nyght, and wyll smyte all the first borne of Egypt from man to beast, and vpon all the gods of Egypt I wyll execute iudgement: I [am] the Lorde

²⁹ And at mydnyght the Lorde smote the first borne in the lande of Egypt, fro the first borne of Pharao that sate on his seate, vntyl the first borne of the captiue that was in prison, and all the firste gendred of cattell ³⁰ And Pharao rose in the nyght, he and his seruauntes, and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crye in Egypt: for there was not a house where there was not one dead

¹⁵ And when Pharao was very loth to let vs go, the Lorde slewe all the first borne in the lande of Egypt, aswell the first borne of man, as the firstlyng of beast: Therefore I sacrifice vnto the Lorde all the males that open the matrice: but all the first borne of my chyldren I redeeme

²³ (105:20) Israel also came into Egypt: & Iacob was a straunger in the lande of Cham

²⁷ (105:23b) they did their message, workyng his signes among them, and wonders in the lande of Cham

³⁶ (105:32) He smote al the first borne in their land: euen the first fruites of all their concupiscence

⁸ He smote the first borne of Egypt: aswell of beast as of man

¹⁰ Who smote Egypt with their first borne: for his mercy endureth for euer

²⁸ Through fayth, he ordeyned the Passouer and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first borne, shoulde touche them

²⁰ Thou dydst leade thy people lyke sheepe: by the hande of Moyses and Aaron

⁷ For he is our Lorde: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheepe of his hande

³ (100:2) Be ye sure that God is the Lorde, it is he that hath made vs, and not we our selues: we are his people and the sheepe of his pasture

³⁷ (105:33) He also brought them foorth with siluer and golde: there was not one feeble person in their tribes

¹¹ He shall feede his flocke like an heardman, he shall gather the lambes together with his arme, and cary them in his bosome, and shall kyndly intreate those that beare young

¹¹ Yet remembred Israel the olde time, of Moyses and his people, saying: where is he that brought them from the water of the sea, with them that feede his sheepe? Where is he that hath geuen his holy spirite among them ¹² He led them by the right hande of Moyses with his glorious arme, deuiding the water before them, wherby he gat him selfe an euerlasting name ¹³ He led them in the deepe as an horse is led in the playne, that they shoulde not stumble ¹⁴ As a tame beast goeth in the fielde, and the spirite of God geueth hym rest: thus (O God) hast thou led thy people, to make thy selfe a glorious name withall

² Wherefore this is the saying of the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepheardes that feede my people, Ye scatter and thrust out my flocke, and loke not vpon them: therefore nowe wyll I visite the wickednesse of your imaginations, saith the Lorde ³ And I wyll gather together the remnaunt of my flocke from all landes that I had driuen them vnto, and will bring them agayne to their foldes, that they may growe and increase ⁴ I wyll set shepheardes also ouer them, whiche shall feede them: they shall no more feare and dread, and there shall none of them be loste, saith the Lorde

¹¹ For thus saith the Lorde God: behold, I [euen] I wyll loke to my sheepe my selfe, and seeke them out ¹² Lyke as a shephearde when he hath ben among the flocke, seeketh after the sheepe that are scattered abroade: euen so wyll I seeke after my sheepe, and deliuer them out of all places where they haue ben scattered, in the cloudie and darke day ¹³ I wyll bring them out from the people, and gather them together out of the landes, I wyl bring them into their owne lande, and feede them vpon the mountaines of Israel, by the riuers and in all the places of the countrey ¹⁴ I wyll feede them in right good pastures, and vpon the hie mountaines of Israel shall their foldes be: there shall they lye in a good folde, and in a fat pasture shall they feede, euen vpon the mountaines of Israel ¹⁵ I wyll feede my sheepe and bring them to their rest, saith the Lorde God ¹⁶ Such as be lost, wyll I seeke: such as are driuen away, wyll I bring againe: such as be broken, wyl I binde vp: such as be weake, wyll I make strong: such as be fat and strong, those wyll I roote out, and feede them with iudgement ¹⁷ And as for you O my sheepe, saith the Lorde God, I wyll iudge betweene cattaile & cattaile, betweene the rammes and the goates 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 ¹⁹ Thus my sheepe must be faine to eate the thing that ye haue troden downe with your feete, and to drinke it that ye with your feete haue defiled ²⁰ Therefore thus saith the Lorde God vnto them: Beholde I [euen] I wyll iudge betweene the fat cattaile and the leane cattaile ²¹ Forsomuch as with side and shoulder ye haue shoued, and with your hornes haue pushed all the weake, till ye haue scattered them abroade ²² I wyll saue my sheepe, so that they shal no more be spoyled, yea I wil iudge betweene cattaile and cattaile ²³ I wyll set vp ouer them a shepheard, and he shall feede them, euen my seruaunt Dauid, he shall feede them, & he shalbe their shepheard ²⁴ And I the Lorde wyll be their God, and my seruaunt Dauid shalbe their prince: euen I the Lorde haue spoken it ²⁵ Moreouer I wyll make a couenaunt of peace with them, & cause euil beastes to ceasse out of the lande: so that they may dwell safely in the wildernesse, and sleepe in the woods ²⁶ And I wyll set them [as] a blessing euen rounde about my hill, and I wyll cause raine to come downe in due season, [and] there shalbe raine of blessing ²⁷ And the tree of the fielde shal yeelde her fruite, and the earth shall geue her encrease: they shalbe safe in their lande, and shall knowe that I am the Lorde, when I haue broke the bondes of their yoke, and deliuered them out of the handes of those that serued them selues of them ²⁸ They shall no more be spoyled of the heathen, nor deuoured with the beastes of the lande: but safely shall they dwel, and no man shall fray them ²⁹ And I wil raise vp for them a plant of renowme, and they shalbe no more clungd with hunger in the lande, neither beare the reproche of the heathen any more ³⁰ Thus shall they vnderstand that I the Lorde their God am with them, and that they, euen the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lorde God ³¹ And ye my sheepe, the sheepe of my pasture, are men: and I am your God, saith the Lorde God

⁴ What man of you, hauyng an hundred sheepe, if he loose one of them, doth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and go after that which is lost, vntyll he fynde it ⁵ And when he hath founde it, he layeth it on his shoulders with ioy ⁶ And assoone as he commeth home, he calleth together his louers and neyghbours, saying vnto them: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost

¹¹ I am the good sheephearde. A good sheephearde, geueth his lyfe for the sheepe ¹² An hyrelyng, and he which is not the sheephearde, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe commyng, and leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth, & scattereth the sheepe ¹³ The hyrelyng fleeth, because he is an hyrelyng, and careth not for the sheepe ¹⁴ I am the good sheepheard, & knowe my sheepe, and am knowen of myne ¹⁵ As the father knoweth me, euen so, knowe I also the father: And I geue my lyfe for the sheepe ¹⁶ And other sheepe I haue, which are not of this folde: them also must I bryng, & they shall heare my voyce, and there shalbe one folde, and one sheepehearde ¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe [from me,] that I myght take it agayne ¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it away of my selfe. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. This commaundement haue I receaued of my father ¹⁹ There was a discention therefore agayne among the Iewes, for these sayinges ²⁰ And many of them sayde: He hath the deuyll, & is mad, why heare ye him ²¹ Other sayd: These are not ye wordes of hym that hath the deuyll. Can the deuyll open the eyes of the blynde ²² And it was at Hierusalem, the feast of the dedication, and it was wynter ²³ And Iesus walked in the temple, euen in Solomons porche ²⁴ Then came the Iewes rounde about hym, and sayde vnto hym: Howe long doest thou make vs doubt? Yf thou be Christe, tell vs playnely ²⁵ Iesus aunswered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The workes that I do in my fathers name, they beare witnesse of me ²⁶ But ye beleue not, because ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayde vnto you ²⁷ My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they folowe me ²⁸ And I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shal neuer perishe, neither shal any man plucke them out of my hande ²⁹ My father which gaue them me, is greater then all: and no man is able to take them out of my fathers hande ³⁰ I and my father are one ³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym [withall. ³² Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me ³³ The Iewes aunswered hym, saying: For thy good workes [sake] we stone thee not, but for thy blasphemie, and because that thou beyng a man, makest thy selfe God ³⁴ Iesus aunswered them: Is it not written in your lawe, I sayde, ye are Gods ³⁵ If he called them Gods, vnto whom the worde of God was spoken, and the scripture can not be broken ³⁶ Say ye of hym whom the father hath sanctified and sent into the worlde, thou blasphemest, because I saide I am the sonne of God ³⁷ Yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not ³⁸ But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the workes: that ye may knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in hym ³⁹ Agayne they went about to take hym: and he escaped out of their hande ⁴⁰ And went away againe beyonde Iordane, into the place where Iohn before had baptized, and there he abode ⁴¹ And many resorted vnto hym, and sayde: Iohn dyd no miracle, but all thynges that Iohn spake of this man were true ⁴² And many beleued on hym there

¹⁵ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Wherfore cryest thou vnto me? speake vnto the children of Israel that they go forwarde

¹⁹ And the angell of God which went before the hoast of Israel, remoued and went behynde them: and the pyller of the cloude went from before their face, and stoode behynde them ²⁰ And came betweene the tentes of the Egyptians, and the tentes of Israel, and it was a cloude and darknesse, and gaue lyght by nyght: and all the nyght long the one came not at the other

²⁷ And Moyses stretched foorth his hand ouer the sea, and it came agayne to his course early in the mornyng, and the Egyptians fled agaynst it: and the Lorde ouerthrewe the Egyptians in the middest of the sea ²⁸ And the water returned, and couered the charettes, and the horsemen, and all the hoast of Pharao that came into the sea after them, so that there remayned not one of them

¹⁰ Thou diddest blowe with thy wynde, the sea couered the, they sanke as leade in the myghtie waters

¹⁵ He ouerthrewe Pharao and his hoast in the red sea: for his mercy endureth for euer

²⁹ By fayth, they passed through the redde sea, as by drye lande: which the Egyptians assaying to do, were drowned

¹⁷ Thou shalt bryng them in, and plant them in the mountayne of thine inheritaunce, the place Lord which thou hast made for to dwell in, the sanctuarie, O Lord, which thy handes haue prepare

³ For they gat not the lande in possession through their owne sworde: neither was it their owne arme that saued them. (44:4) But thy ryght hande, and thine arme, & the lyght of thy countenaunce: because thou hadst a fauour vnto them

¹⁶ Why skyp you so the high hylles? this is the Lordes hyll in the which it pleaseth hym to dwell, yea God wyll abyde in it for euer

⁹ No man shall do euill vnto another, no man shall destroy another in all the hyll of my holynes: for the earth shalbe full of the knowledge of the Lorde: euen as the sea floweth ouer with water

¹⁶ O Lorde, according to all thy righteousnes, I beseche thee let thyne anger and thy wrath be turned away from thy citie of Hierusalem, thy holy hill: for because of our sinnes, and for the wickednesse of our fathers, Hierusalem and thy people are a reproche to all them that are about vs ¹⁷ Now therefore O our God heare the prayer of thy seruaunt, and his intercession: O let thy face thine ouer thy sanctuarie that lyeth waste, for the Lordes sake ¹⁸ O my God, encline thyne eare & hearken, open thyne eyes, beholde howe we be desolated, yea and the citie also which is called after thy name: for we do not present our prayers before thee in our owne righteousnes, but in thy great mercies ¹⁹ O Lorde heare, O forgeue Lorde, O Lorde consider and do it, defer not, for thyne owne sake O my God: because thy name is called vpon thy citie, & vpon thy people ²⁰ As I was yet a speaking at my prayers, knowledging myne owne sinnes & the sinnes of my people Israel, presenting so myne intercession before the Lord my God for the holy hill of my God

⁴⁵ And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace betweene the seas, in the glorious and holy mountaine: yet he shall come to his ende, & none shal helpe him

¹⁴ Whiche is the earnest of our inheritaunce, vnto ye redemption of the purchased possession, vnto the prayse of his glorie

⁵⁴ And ye shall deuide the inheritaunce of the land by lot among your kinredes, and geue to the moe, the more inheritounce, and to the fewer, the lesse inheritaunce: And your inheritaunce shalbe in the tribes of your fathers, euery mans inheritaunce in the place where his lot falleth

¹⁰ And when the Lorde thy God hath brought thee into the lande which he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Isahac, and Iacob, and shall geue to thee great & goodly cities which thou buildedst not ¹¹ Houses full of all maner of goodes which thou filledst not, & welles digged which thou diggedst not, vineyardes and oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten & art full ¹² Then beware lest thou forget ye Lorde which brought thee out of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage

¹ And Iericho was shut vp and closed, because of the childre of Israel, neither myght any man go out, or in ² And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosuah: Behold, I haue geuen into thyne hande Iericho, and the kyng therof, and the strong men of warre ³ And ye shall compasse all the citie, all ye that be men of warre, and go rounde about it once: & so shal you do sixe dayes ⁴ And seuen priestes shall beare before the arke seuen trumpettes of rammes hornes: And the seuenth day ye shall compasse the citie seuen tymes, and the priestes shal blowe with the trumpets ⁵ And when they make a long blast with the rammes horne, and ye heare the sounde of the horne, all the people shall shout with a great shout: And then shall the wall of the citie fall downe, and the people shall assende vp, euery man strayght before hym ⁶ And Iosuah the sonne of Nun, called the priestes, and sayde vnto them: Take vp the arke of the couenaunt, and let seuen priestes beare seuen trumpets of rammes hornes before the arke of the Lorde ⁷ And he sayde vnto the people: Go, and compasse the citie, & let hym that is harnessed go before ye arke of the Lord ⁸ And when Iosuah had spoken vnto ye people, the seuen priestes bare the seuen trumpets of rammes hornes, and went foorth before the arke of the Lorde, and blewe with the trumpets: and the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde folowed them ⁹ And the men of armes went before the priestes that blewe with the trumpets: & the gatheryng hoast came after the arke as they went, and blewe with trumpets ¹⁰ And Iosuah had commaunded the people, saying: Ye shall not shout, nor make any noyse with your voyce, neither shall any worde proceede out of your mouth vntyll the day I byd you shout, then shall ye shout ¹¹ And so the arke of the Lorde compassed the citie, and went about it once: and they returned into the hoast, and lodged there ¹² And Iosuah rose early in the mornyng, and the priestes toke vp the arke of the Lorde ¹³ And seuen priestes bare seuen trumpettes of rammes hornes, and went before the arke of the Lorde: and goyng, blewe with the trumpettes. And the men of armes went before them: but the gatheryng hoast came after the arke of the Lorde, whiche went before with the blowyng of the trumpettes ¹⁴ And the seconde daye they passed the citie once, and returned againe into the hoast: and so they dyd sixe dayes ¹⁵ And when the seuenth day came, they rose early [euen] with the dawnyng of the day, & compassed the citie after the same maner seuen tymes: only that day they compassed the citie seue times ¹⁶ And at the seuenth tyme when the priestes blew with the trumpettes, Iosuah sayde vnto the people: Showt, for the Lorde hath geuen you the citie ¹⁷ And the citie shalbe accursed and al that are therin, vnto the Lorde: onlye Rahab the harlot shal liue, and all that are with her in the house, because she hyd the messengers that we sent ¹⁸ And in any wyse be ye ware of the accursed thinges, lest ye make your selues accursed, & take of the accursed thynges, and make the hoast of Israel accursed, and trouble it ¹⁹ But all the syluer, golde, vesselles of brasse and iron, shalbe consecrate vnto the Lorde, and all shall come into his treasurie ²⁰ And the people showted, and blewe with trumpettes: And when the people heard the sound of the trumpe, they showted with a great showt, and the wall fell downe flat, so that the people went vp into ye citie, euery man straight before hym, and toke the citie ²¹ And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the citie, both man and woman, young and olde, oxe, sheepe, and asse, with the edge of the sworde

⁷ Nowe therfore deuide this lande to inherite vnto the nine tribes, and the halfe tribe of Manasses

⁵¹ These are the inheritaunces whiche Eleazar the priest, & Iosuah the sonne of Nun, and the auncient fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel deuided by lot in Silo before the Lorde at the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation: and so they made an ende of deuidyng the countrey

⁴ Beholde, I haue deuided vnto you by lot these nations that remayne, to be an inheritaunce for your tribes, euen from Iordane, with all the nations that I haue destroyed, euen vnto the great sea westward

²² And thou gauest them kingdomes and nations, and scatteredst them into corners: so they possessed the lande of Sehon and the lande of the king of Hesebon, and the lande of Og king of Basan ²³ And their children multipliedst thou as the starres of heauen, and broughtest them into the lande whereof thou haddest spoken to their fathers, that they should go into it, and haue it in possession ²⁴ And the children went in, and possessed the lande, and thou subduedst before them the inhabiters of the lande, euen the Chanaanites, and gauest them into their handes, with their kinges and the people of the lande, that they might do with them what they would ²⁵ And they wanne their strong cities, and a fat lande, and toke possession of houses that were full of all maner of goodes, welles digged out, vineyards, oliue gardens, & many fruiteful trees: and they did eate, and were filled, and became fat, and liued in pleasure through thy great goodnesse

² Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thy hande and planted them in: howe thou hast destroyed the nations & placed them

⁴⁴ (105:40) And he gaue them the landes of the Heathen, and they toke to inheritaunce the labours of the people ⁴⁵ (105:41) To the intent that they shoulde kepe his statutes: and obserue his lawes. Prayse ye the Lorde

¹⁰ He smote many nations: and slue mightie kinges ¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan: and all the kingdomes of Chanaan ¹² And he gaue their lande for an inheritaunce: euen for an heritaunce to Israel his people

¹⁸ And he slue mightie kynges: for his mercy endureth for euer ¹⁹ Sihon kyng of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for euer ²⁰ And Og the kyng of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for euer ²¹ And he gaue away their lande for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for euer ²² For an heritage vnto Israel his seruaunt: for his mercy endureth for euer

¹⁶ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Beholde, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people wyll ryse vp, and go a whoryng after straunge gods of the lande whyther they go, and wyll forsake me, and breake the appoyntmet which I haue made with them ¹⁷ And then my wrath wyll waxe hot against them in that day, & I wil forsake them, & wyll hide my face from them, and they shalbe consumed, and much aduersitie and tribulations shall come vpon them, so that then they wyll say: Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not with me ¹⁸ And I also wyll surely hyde away my face in that day, for all the euyls sake which they shall haue wrought, in that they are turned vnto straunge gods ¹⁹ Nowe therfore write ye this song for you, and teache it the children of Israel, and put it in their mouthes, that this song may be my witnesse agaynst the children of Israel ²⁰ For I wyll bryng them into the lande which I sware vnto their fathers, that floweth with mylke and honye: and they shall eate, and fyll them selues, and waxe fat, and turne vnto strauge gods, and serue them, and blaspheme me, and breake my couenaunt

¹⁵ But he that shoulde haue ben vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: Thou art well fed, thou art growen thicke, thou art euen laden with fatnesse: And he forsoke God his maker, and regarded not the God of his saluation ¹⁶ They prouoked hym to anger with straunge gods, euen with abhominations prouoked they hym ¹⁷ They offered vnto deuils, and not to God: euen to gods whom they knewe not, to newe gods that came newly vp, whom their fathers feared not ¹⁸ Of God that begat thee thou art vnmyndfull, and hast forgotten God that made thee ¹⁹ The Lorde therfore sawe it, and was angry: because of the prouokyng of his sonnes and his daughters ²⁰ And he sayde: I wyll hyde my face from them, and wil see what their ende shalbe: For they are a very frowarde generation, childre in whom is no faith ²¹ They haue angred me with that which is no god, and prouoked me with their vanities: And I also wyll prouoke them with those whiche are no people, I wyll anger them with a foolishe nation

⁷ For it came to passe, that the children of Israel sinned against the Lord their God which had brought them out of the land of Egypt, from vnder the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and feared other gods ⁸ And they walked in the ceremonies of the heathen whom the Lorde cast out before the children of Israel, and [in the [ceremonies] which the kinges of Israel had made ⁹ And the children of Israel went about to hide those thinges that were not wel from the Lorde their God: And they buylt them hygh places in all their cities, both in the towres where they kept watch, and also in the strong townes ¹⁰ And they made the images & groues in euery hye hill, & vnder euery thicke tree ¹¹ And there they burnt incense in all the hygh places, as did the heathen whom the Lord caryed away before them, and wrought wicked thinges to anger the Lorde withall ¹² For they serued most vile idols, wherof the Lorde had sayd vnto them: Ye shall do no such thing ¹³ And the Lorde testified in Israel and in Iuda by all the prophetes and by all the sears, saying: Turne from your wicked wayes, and kepe my commaundementes and my statutes, according to all the law which I commaunded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my seruauntes the prophetes ¹⁴ Nothwithstanding they woulde not heare, but rather hardened their neckes, lyke to the stubburnesse of their fathers, that dyd not beleue in the Lorde their God ¹⁵ For they refused his statutes, and his appoyntment that he made with their fathers, and the witnesses wherwith he witnessed vnto them, and they folowed vanitie, and became vayne, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the Lorde had charged them that they shoulde not do lyke them ¹⁶ But they left al the commaundemetes of the Lord their God, and made them images of metal, euen two calues, and [made] idol groues, & worshipped all the hoast of heauen, and serued Baal ¹⁷ And they sacrificed their sonnes and their daughters in fire, and vsed witchcraftes, & enchauntmentes, euen selling them selues to worke wickednesse in the sight of the Lorde, and to anger him ¹⁸ And the Lorde was exceeding wroth with Israel, & put them out of his sight, that there was left but the tribe of Iuda onely ¹⁹ Neuerthelesse, Iuda also kept not the commaundementes of the Lorde their God, but walked in the ceremonies of Israel whiche they made ²⁰ And the Lord cast of all the seede of Israel, and vexed them, & deliuered them into the handes of spoylers, vntil he had rast them out of his sight ²¹ For he cut of Israel from the house of Dauid, and made them a king, euen Ieroboam the sonne of Nabat: And Ieroboam drewe Israel away that they shoulde not folowe the Lorde, and made them sinne a great sinne ²² For the children of Israel walked in all the sinnes of Ieroboam whiche he dyd, and departed not therfrom ²³ Untill the Lord put Israel away out of his sight, as he had sayd by all his seruauntes the prophetes: And so was Israel caried away out of their owne land to Assyria euen vnto this day

²⁵ And they wanne their strong cities, and a fat lande, and toke possession of houses that were full of all maner of goodes, welles digged out, vineyards, oliue gardens, & many fruiteful trees: and they did eate, and were filled, and became fat, and liued in pleasure through thy great goodnesse ²⁶ Neuerthelesse, they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behinde their backes, & slue their prophetes, which exhorted them earnestly that they might bring them againe vnto thee, and did great blasphemies

⁴⁰ How oft dyd they prouoke hym in the wildernes: & greeued hym in the desert ⁴¹ They turned backe and tempted the Lorde: and prescribed boundes to the most holy [God] of Israel

¹⁵ But thou hast put thy confidence in thyne owne beautie, and played the harlot because of thy renowne, and hast powred out thy fornications with euery one that went by, thou wast his ¹⁶ Thou didst take thy garmentes, and deckt thy hye places with diuers colours, and played the harlot thervpon, they come not, and it shall not be ¹⁷ The goodly iewels whiche I gaue thee of mine owne golde and siluer, hast thou taken and made thee mens images therof, and committed whordome with them ¹⁸ Thy broidred garmentes hast thou taken, and deckt them therewith: myne oyle and incense hast thou set before them ¹⁹ My meate whiche I gaue thee, as fine floure, oyle and hony to feede the withall, that hast thou set before them for a sweete sauour: and thus it was saith the Lorde God ²⁰ Thou hast taken thyne owne sonnes and daughters whom thou hast begotten vnto me, and these hast thou offred vp vnto them to be deuoured: is this but a small whordome of thyne ²¹ And thou hast slayne my chyldren, and deliuered them, to cause them to passe [through the fire] for them ²² And yet in all thyne abhominations and whordomes, thou hast not remembred the dayes of thy youth, howe naked and bare thou wast at that tyme, and wast defiled in thyne owne blood ²³ After all these thy wickednesses, (wo wo vnto thee, saith the Lorde God. ²⁴ Thou hast buylt vnto thee an hye place, and hast made thee an hye place in euery streete ²⁵ Thou hast buylt thyne hye plate at euery head of the way, thou hast made thy beautie to be abhorred, thou hast opened thy feete to euery one that came by, and multiplied thy whoredome ²⁶ Thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbours whiche were great in fleshe, and thus hast thou increased thyne whordome to anger me

⁵ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Chanaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Pherezites, Heuites, and Iebusites ⁶ And toke the daughters of them to be their wiues, & gaue their own daughters to their sonnes, and serued their goddes ⁷ And the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lorde, and forgat the Lorde their God, and serued Baalim and Astheroth

¹² And the children of Israel agayne committed wickednes in the sight of the Lorde: And the Lorde strengthed Eglon the king of the Moabites, against the children of Israel, because they had committed wickednes before the Lorde

¹⁰ They kept not the couenaunt of God: and they woulde not walke in his law ¹¹ But they forgat his workes: and his wonders which he had shewed them ¹² Marueylous thinges dyd he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the fielde of Zoan ¹³ He deuided the sea and let them go thorowe: he made the waters to stande as on an heape ¹⁴ In the day time also he led them with a cloude: and all the night through with a light of fire ¹⁵ He cloued the harde rockes in the wildernes: & gaue them drinke therof, as it had ben out of the great deepe waters ¹⁶ He brought running streames out of a stonie rocke: and caused waters to gushe downe, like as out of riuers ¹⁷ Yet for all this they sinned still against hym: so that they prouoked the most hyghest in the wildernesse ¹⁸ And they temped god in their heartes: in requiring meate for their lust ¹⁹ They spake against God: they said, can God prepare a table in the wildernesse ²⁰ Beholde, he hath smytten the stonie rocke, and waters haue gushed out, and streames haue flowed out aboundantly: but can he likewise geue bread, can he prouide fleshe for his people ²¹ Wherefore God hearde [them,] he was wroth, a fire was kindled in Iacob: and there arose vp heauy displeasure against Israel ²² Because they beleued not in the Lord: nor did put their trust in his saluation ²³ And yet he commaunded the cloudes aboue: and opened the doores of heauen ²⁴ He raigned downe Manna also vpon them, that they shoulde eate: and gaue them corne from heauen ²⁵ [So] man dyd eate the bread of angels: he sent them meate inough ²⁶ He remoued the east winde from vnder the heauen: and through his power he brought in the south winde ²⁷ He rained fleshe vpon them as thycke as dust: and fethered foules like as the sande of the sea ²⁸ He let it fall among their tentes: euen rounde about their pauilions 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 ³² Therfore their dayes dyd he consume in vanitie: & their yeres in a short [troublous] time ³³ When he slue them, they sought hym: they repented them, and made God their morninges worke ³⁴ And they remembred that the Lorde was their rocke: & that the Lorde most hyghest was their redeemer ³⁵ Neuerthelesse they dyd but flatter him with their mouth: and they made hym a lye with their tongue ³⁶ For their heart was not vpright with him: neither continued they faythfull in his couenaunt ³⁷ Yet for all that he beyng most merciful: cleane pardoned all their misdeedes, and destroyed them not

²⁷ Therfore speake vnto the house of Israel thou sonne of man, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God: yet in this also your fathers haue blasphemed me, and greeuously transgressed agaynst me ²⁸ For after I had brought them into the lande, for the which I lifted vp my hande to geue it vnto them, when they sawe euery hie hil, & all thicke trees, they offered there their sacrifices, & there they presented their offering of anger, there also they made their sweete sauours, and powred out their wine offerynges

¹⁶ They turne them selues, but not to the most hyest, and are become as a broken bowe, their princes shalbe slayne with the sworde for the malice of their tongues: this shalbe their derision in the lande of Egypt

⁴ Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, neyther any similitude that is in heauen aboue, eyther in the earth beneath, or in the waters vnder the earth ⁵ Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neyther serue them: for I the Lord thy God, am a gelous God, and visite the sinne of the fathers vpon the chyldren, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me

¹⁴ Thou shalt worship no straunge God: for the Lorde is called ielous, because he is a ielous God

³⁰ I wyll destroy your hye places, and cut away your images, and cast your carkasses vpon ye bodyes of your idols, and my soule shall abhorre you

⁵² Ye shall dryue out all the inhabiters of the lande before you, and destroy all their pictures, & breake a sunder al their images of mettall, and plucke downe all their hye places

¹⁶ Lest ye marre your selues, & make you a grauen image, & picture of any maner of figure, whether it be the likenesse of man or woman ¹⁷ The likenesse of any maner of beast that is on the earth, or the likenesse of any maner fethered foule that fleeth in the ayre ¹⁸ Or the likenesse of any maner worme that creepeth on the earth, or the likenesse of any maner fishe that is in the waters beneath the earth ¹⁹ Yea, and lest thou lift vp thyne eyes vnto heauen, and when thou seest the sunne, the moone, and the starres, with all the hoast of heauen, shouldest be driuen to worship them, & serue them, and shouldest worship and serue the thynges, which the Lorde thy God hath made to serue all nations vnder the whole heauen ²⁰ But the Lorde hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, euen out of Egypt, to be vnto hym a people & inheritaunce, as ye be this day ²¹ Furthermore, the Lorde was angry with me for your wordes, and sware that I shoulde not go ouer Iordane, and that I shoulde not go in vnto that good lande which the Lorde thy God geueth thee to inheritaunce ²² But I must dye in this lande, and shal not go ouer Iordane: But ye shall go ouer, and possesse that good lande ²³ Take heede vnto your selues, that ye forget not ye appoyntment of the Lorde your God which he made with you, & that ye make you no grauen image or likenesse that the Lorde thy God hath forbidden thee ²⁴ For the Lorde thy God, is a consumyng fire, and a ielous God ²⁵ When thou shalt beget children, and thy children beget children, and shalt haue remayned long in the lande, ye do wickedly, & make any maner of grauen image, and worke euyll in the sight of the Lorde thy God, to prouoke hym to anger

² Ye shall destroy all places wherin the nations whiche ye shall possesse serued their gods, vpon hye mountaynes, on hylles, and vnder euery greene tree

⁴ Ye shall not do so vnto the Lorde your God

¹⁵ Cursed be the man that maketh any carued or moulten image, an abhomination vnto the Lorde, the worke of the handes of the craftesman, and putteth it in a secrete place: and all the people shall aunswere and say, Amen

¹⁶ They prouoked hym to anger with straunge gods, euen with abhominations prouoked they hym ¹⁷ They offered vnto deuils, and not to God: euen to gods whom they knewe not, to newe gods that came newly vp, whom their fathers feared not

²¹ They haue angred me with that which is no god, and prouoked me with their vanities: And I also wyll prouoke them with those whiche are no people, I wyll anger them with a foolishe nation

¹⁷ And yet for all that they woulde not hearken vnto their iudges: but rather went a whoring after straunge goddes, and bowed them selues vnto them, and turned quickly out of the way, whiche their fathers walked in, obeying the comaundementes of the Lorde: But they dyd not so

²⁰ And the wrath of the Lorde was moued against Israel, and he sayde: Because this people hath trasgressed myne appoyntment whiche I commaunded their fathers, and haue not hearkened vnto my voyce

⁶ And the children of Israel wrought wickednesse yet agayne in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Siria, the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsoke the Lorde, and serued not him

⁷ For then dyd Solomon buylde an hye place for Chamos the abhomination of Moabim the hill that is before Hierusalem, & vnto Moloch the abhomination of the children of Ammon

¹⁰ And gaue him a charge concerning this thyng, that he shoulde not folowe other gods: But he kept not that which the Lorde commaunded him

³¹ And he made an house of hill aulters, and made priestes of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sonnes of Leui

⁵ O God, howe long wylt thou be angry? shall thy ielousie burne lyke fire for euer

⁷ Confounded be all they that do seruice vnto carued images: and that do glorie in idols, but O gods, you all shall worshyp hym

¹⁹ For lo, the voyce of the crying of my people is hearde, [for feare of them that come] from a farre countrey: Is not the Lord in Sion? Is not her king in her? Wherefore then haue they greeued me [shall the Lorde say] with their images, and foolishe straunge fashions of a forraine god

³ And he stretched out the likenesse of an hande, and toke me by an heery locke of my head, and the spirite lift me vp betwixt earth and heauen, and brought me in a diuine vision to Hierusalem, into the entry of the inner gate that lyeth towarde the north, where remayned the image of emulation [and] of gayne ⁴ And beholde, the glorie of the Lorde God of Israel was in the same place, [euen] as I had seene it afore in the fielde ⁵ And he sayde vnto me, Thou sonne of man, lift vp thine eyes nowe towarde the north: then lift I vp mine eyes towarde the north, and beholde northwarde, at the gate of the aulter this image of emulation [was] in the entry

²⁸ For after I had brought them into the lande, for the which I lifted vp my hande to geue it vnto them, when they sawe euery hie hil, & all thicke trees, they offered there their sacrifices, & there they presented their offering of anger, there also they made their sweete sauours, and powred out their wine offerynges ²⁹ And I sayde vnto them, What is that hye place whervnto ye resort? and the name of it is called Bamah vnto this day

² And nowe they sinne more and more, and of their siluer they haue made them molten images after the imaginatios of their owne braynes, [that is] very idols, and yet all is nothing but the worke of the craftesman: they say one to another, Whiles they sacrifice a man let them kisse the calues

²² Either do we prouoke the Lorde to anger? Are we stronger then he

²⁰ And the lorde saide: because the crye of Sodome and Gomorrhe is great, and because their sinne is exceding greeuous ²¹ I wyll go downe nowe, and see whether they haue done altogether accordyng to that crye whiche is come vnto me: and yf not, I wyll knowe

²³ Ye shall not walke in the maners of this nation, whiche I caste out before you: For they committed all these thinges, and therfore I abhorred the

⁴⁴ And yet for all that, when they be in the lande of their enemies, I wyll not cast them away, neither wyll abhorre them to destroy them vtterly, and to breake my couenaunt with them: for I am the Lorde their God

¹⁹ The Lorde therfore sawe it, and was angry: because of the prouokyng of his sonnes and his daughters

⁴ But God is in his holy temple, Gods throne is in heauen: his eyes looke downe, his eye liddes tryeth the chyldren of men

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 ³ But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abhominable: there is none that doth good, no not one ⁴ Do not all the workers of iniquitie know, deuouryng my people as though they deuoured bread: that they call not vpon God ⁵ Hereafter they shalbe taken with a great feare: for the Lorde is in the generation of the righteous

⁴⁰ (106:38) Therfore was the wrath of God kindeled against his people: insomuch that he abhorred his owne inheritaunce

⁷ The Lorde hath forsaken his owne aulter, and hath abhorred his owne sanctuarie, and hath geuen the walles of their towres into the handes of the enemie: their enemies made a noyse in the house of the Lorde, as it had ben in a solempne feast day

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

¹ And the whole congregation of the children of Israel came together at Silo, and set vp the tabernacle of the congregation there, after the land was in subiection before them

³ And this man went vp out of his citie euery yere, to worship and to sacrifice vnto the Lord of hoastes in Silo, where were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehes, the Lordes priestes

⁴ And so the people went to Silo, and fet from thence the arke of the appoyntment of the Lorde of hoastes, which dwelleth betweene the cherubims: And there wer the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehes, with the arke of the appoyntment of God ⁵ And when the arke of the appoyntment of the Lorde came into the hoast, all Israel showted a mightie showte, so that the earth rang againe ⁶ And when the Philistines heard the noyse of the showte, they saide: What meaneth the sounde of this mightie showte in the hoast of the Ebrues? And they vnderstode howe that the arke of the Lorde was come into the hoast ⁷ And the Philistines were afraide, and saide: God is come into the hoast. And they said againe: Wo vnto vs, for it was neuer so before this ⁸ Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hand of these mightie goddes? these are the goddes that smote the Egyptians with many plagues in the wildernes ⁹ Be strong and quite your selues lyke men, O ye Philistines, that ye be no seruaunts vnto the Ebrues, as they haue ben to you: Be of a manly corage therfore and fight ¹⁰ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: And there was an exceeding great slaughter, for there were ouerthrowen of Israel thirtie thousand footemen ¹¹ And the arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni & Phinehes, were dead

¹² Go to my place in Silo, wherevnto I gaue my name aforetyme, and looke well what I did to the same place for the wickednesse of my people of Israel ¹³ And now seing ye haue done all these deedes saith the Lorde, and I my selfe rose vp euer betimes to warne you and to commune with you, yet would ye not heare me, I called, ye would not aunswere ¹⁴ Therefore, euen as I haue done vnto Silo, so wyll I do to this house that my name is geuen vnto, and that you put your trust in, yea vnto the place that I haue geuen to you and your fathers

⁶ Then wyll I do to this house as I did vnto Silo, and wyll make this citie to be abhorred of all the people of the earth ⁷ And the priestes, the prophetes, and all the people hearde Ieremie preache these wordes in the house of the Lorde ⁸ Nowe when he had spoken out all the wordes that the Lorde commaunded hym to preache vnto the people, then the priestes, the prophetes, and all the people toke holde vpon hym, and sayde, Thou shalt dye ⁹ Howe darest thou be so bolde as to say in the name of the Lord, it shall happen to this house as it did vnto Silo, and this citie shalbe so waste that no man may dwell therin

³⁴ And the cloude couered the tabernacle of the congregatio, and the glorie of the Lorde fylled the tabernacle

³⁰ And the chyldren of Dan set them vp the grauen image: And Ionathan the sonne of Gersom, the sonne of Manasses, and his sonnes, were the priestes in the tribe of Dan, vntyl the day of the captiuitie of the lande

¹⁷ The messenger aunswered, and said: Israel is fled before the Philistines, & there hath ben a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehes are dead, and the arke of God is taken

²¹ And she named the childe Ichabod, saying: The glorie is departed fro Israel, (because the arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.

⁴¹ Nowe vp O Lorde God into thy resting place, thou and the arke of thy strength: O Lorde God, let thy priestes be clothed with health, & let thy sainctes reioyce in goodnesse

⁷ Lyft vp your heades O ye gates, and be ye lyft vp ye euerlastyng doores and the kyng of glorie shall enter in

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

⁸ Aryse O God [for to come] into thy resting place: thou and the arke of thy strength

² And put them selues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smytten downe before the Philistines, and the Philistines slue of the armie in the fielde about a foure thousand men

³⁸ (89:37) But thou hast abhorred & forsake thine annoynted: & art sore displeased at him

⁹ Be not to sore displeased O Lord, and kepe not our offences to long in thy remembraunce: but consider that we all are thy people

¹ And when the people dyd wickedly, it was a displeasure in the eares of the Lorde: And when the Lorde hearde it, his countenaunce was prouoked to wrath, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were the vttermost of the hoast

²⁰ And so the Lorde wyll not consent to be mercifull vnto hym, but then the wrath of the Lorde and his gelousie shall smoke agaynst that man: and all the curses that are written in this booke shall lyght vpon hym, and the Lorde shal do out his name from vnder heaue

²¹ Wherefore God hearde [them,] he was wroth, a fire was kindled in Iacob: and there arose vp heauy displeasure against Israel

¹ In that day, seuen women shall take holde of one man, saying: we wyll finde our selues meate and apparell: only let vs be called by thy name, to take our shamefull reproofe [from vs.

³⁴ And as for the voyce of mirth and gladnesse of the cities of Iuda and Hierusalem, the voyce of the bridegrome and of the bride, I wyll make them ceasse: for the lande shalbe desolate

⁹ For thus saith the Lorde of hoastes the God of Israel: Beholde, I shall take away out of this place the voyce of mirth and gladnesse, the voyce of the bridegrome and of the bride, yea and that in your dayes, that ye may see it

¹⁰ Moreouer, I wyll take from them the voyce of gladnesse and solace, the voyce of the bridegrome and the bride, the noyse of the milstones, and the light of the cressets

³³ Neuerthelesse, I wyll not destroy euery one that come of thee from mine aulter, to make thine eyes to fayle, and to make thine heart sorowfull: And all they that be multiplied in thine house, shall dye [when they be] men ³⁴ And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shal come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehes: euen in one day they shall dye both

¹¹ And the arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni & Phinehes, were dead

¹⁹ And his daughter in lawe Phinehes wyfe was with childe, and nye the birth: And when she heard the tidinges that the arke of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauayled, for her paynes came vpon her ²⁰ And about the tyme of her death, the women that stoode about her, saide vnto her: Feare not, for thou hast borne a sonne. But she aunswered not, nor regarded it

¹⁸ And the king sayde to Doeg: Turne thou, & fall vpon the priestes. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ranne vpon the priestes, & slue that same day fourescore and fiue persons that did weare a linnen Ephod ¹⁹ And Nob the citie of ye priestes, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklinges, oxen and asses, & sheepe, with the edge of the sworde

¹⁵ His remnaunt shalbe buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe

²³ And your tire [shalbe] vpon your heades, and your shoes vpon your feete: ye shall neither mourne nor weepe, but ye shall pyne away in your iniquities, & mourne one towardes another

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

²³ (44:21a) Stirre vp O Lorde, why slepest thou? awake & be not absent from vs for euer

²⁰ They be as a dreame to a man after he is once waked: O Lorde thou wylt cause their image to be dispised in the citie

¹³ The Lorde shall come foorth lyke a giaunt, and take a stomacke to him like a freshe man of warre: he shall roare and crye, and ouercome his enemies ¹⁴ I haue long holden my peace [saith the Lorde] I haue ben styll and refrained my selfe, but now I wyll crie like a trauayling woman, and at once wyll I destroy and deuour

⁹ Wake vp, wake vp, and be strong O thou arme of the Lorde, wake vp, lyke as in tyme past, euer, and since the world began

⁶ But the hand of the Lorde was heauie vpon them of Asdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerodes, both Asdod, and all the coastes thereof

⁴ Then sayd they: And what shalbe the sinne offering, which we shall rewarde him with? They aunswered: Fiue golden emerodes, and fiue golden myce, accordyng to the number of the princes of ye Philistines: For one plague was on you all, and on your princes

¹² Loke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe, & destroy the wicked in their place

⁴⁰ And wyll bryng you to an euerlasting confusion, and into a shame that shall neuer be forgotten

²¹ And they sent messengers to the inhabitaunts of Kiriathiarim, saying: The Philistines haue brought againe the arke of the Lord, come ye downe and fet it vp to you

² And arose, and went with all the folke that were with him, from Baala of Iuda, to fet away from thence the arke of God, whose name is called by the name of the lord of hoastes that dwelleth vpon it betweene the cherubims

¹⁷ And when they brought in the arke of the Lord, they set it in his place, euen in the middes of the tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it: and Dauid offered burnt offeringes & peace offeringes before the Lorde

⁸ Iuda, thou art he whom thy brethren shall prayse: Thy hande shalbe in the necke of thine enemies, thy fathers children shall stowpe before thee ⁹ Iuda is a lions whelpe: fro thy spoyle my sonne thou art come on hye. He layed him downe, and couched himselfe as a lion, and as a lionesse: who wyll stirre hym vp ¹⁰ The scepter shal not depart from Iuda, and a law geuer from betweene his feete, vntyll Silo come: And vnto hym shall the gatheryng of the people be

¹⁷ And the women her neyghbours gaue it a name, saying: There is a child borne to Naomi, & called it Obed: the same is the father of Isai, the father of Dauid ¹⁸ These are the generations of Pharez, Phares begat Hezron ¹⁹ Hezron begat Ram, Ram begat Aminadab ²⁰ Aminadab begat Naasson, Naasson begat Salmon ²¹ Salmon begat Booz, Booz begat Obed ²² Obed begat Isai, Isai begat Dauid

¹ The Lorde sayd vnto Samuel: Howe long wilt thou mourne for Saul, seing I haue cast him away from raigning ouer Israel? Fill thyne horne with oyntment, and come, that I may send thee to Isai the Bethlemite: for I haue prouided me a king among his sonnes

⁶ Sauing that I haue chosen Hierusalem, that my name might be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel

² (87:1a) God loueth the gates of Sion more then all the dwellynges of Iacob

¹² If thy chyldren wyll kepe my couenaunt and my testimonies whiche I wyll teache them: their chyldren also shall sit vpon thy throne for euermore ¹³ For God hath chosen [to be in] Sion: he had a desire that it might be an habitation for hym ¹⁴ This [is sayeth he] my rest for euer: heare I wyll dwell, for I haue a desire to it

⁸ He rayseth vp the poore out of the dust, and lyfteth vp the beggar from the dounghyll, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: For the pyllers of the earth are the lordes, and he hath set the worlde vpon them

¹ And it came to passe, that in the foure hundred & fourescore yere, after the childre of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, and in the fourth yere of the rayne of Solomon vpon Israel, & in the moneth Zif, which is the second moneth, he began to build the house of the Lorde ² And the house which king Solomon built for the Lorde, was threescore cubites long, and twentie cubites broade, and thirtie cubites hie ³ And he made a porche before the temple of the house, which was twentie cubites long, after ye breadth of the house, and ten cubites brode, [euen] in the fore front of the house ⁴ And in the house he made windowes, broade without, and narow within ⁵ And by the wall of the house he made chambers round about [euen] in the walles of the house round about the temple & the quier: and he made chambers round about ⁶ The neathermost chamber was fiue cubites broade, & the middle was sixe cubites broade, & the third was seuen cubites broade: For without in the wall of the house he made restes round about that [the beames of the chambers] shoulde not be fastened in ye walles of the house ⁷ And the house was built of stone, made perfect alredye before it was brought thyther: so that there was neither hammer nor axe, either any toole of iron heard in the house while it was in buylding ⁸ The doore of the middle chamber was in the ryght syde of the house: and men went vp with wineding stayres into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third ⁹ And so he built the house, and finished it: and he roofed the house vaultly with beames of Cedar tymber ¹⁰ And then he built chambers to all the temple fiue cubites heyght, & they were ioyned to the house with beames of Cedar ¹¹ And the word of the Lorde came to Solomon, saying ¹² Concerning the house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walke in myne ordinaunces, and execute my lawes, and kepe all my commaundementes to walke in them: then wyll I make good vnto thee my promise which I promysed Dauid thy father ¹³ And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel ¹⁴ Solomon therefore built the house, and finished it ¹⁵ And seeled the walles of the house within with boordes of Cedar tree: euen fro the pauement of the house vnto the roofe did he seele the walles of it within with Cedar tree: and boorded the floore of the house with planckes of firre ¹⁶ And he builded twentie cubites in the sydes of the quier of the temple both floore & walles with boordes of Cedar: and dressed it within the secret place of the temple, euen in the most holy ¹⁷ But the house, that is the temple before it, was fourtie cubites [long. ¹⁸ And the Cedar of the house within, was carued with knoppes, and grauen with flowres: & all was Cedar timber, so that no stone was sene ¹⁹ And the quier that was within the temple he prepared, to set there the arke of the appoyntment of the Lorde ²⁰ And the quier before was twentie cubites long, & twentie cubites in breadth, and twentie cubites in height: And he couered it with pure golde, and boorded the aulter with Cedar ²¹ So Solomon couered the house within with pure golde: And he made golde barres runne along the quier, which he had couered with golde ²² And the whole house he ouerlayde with golde vntil he had ended it: also al the aulter that was in the quier he ouerlayde with golde ²³ And within the quier he made two Cherubims of Oliue tree ten cubites hie ²⁴ Fiue cubites long was a wing of the one Cherub, & fiue cubites long was a wing of the other Cherub: so that from the vttermost part of one wing, vnto the vttermost part of the other, were ten cubites ²⁵ And the other Cherub was ten cubites hie also: so that both the Cherubs were of one measure, and one sise ²⁶ For the height of the one Cherub was ten cubites, and so was it of the other ²⁷ And he put the Cherubs within the inner house: And the Cherubs stretched out their winges, so that the one wing of the one touched the one wall, and the one wing of the other touched the other wall: And the other two winges of them touched one another in the middest of the house ²⁸ And he ouerlayde the Cherubs with golde ²⁹ And in all the walles of ye house round about, he made figures of carued & seeled worke: [as namely] pictures of Cherubs, & paulme trees, & grauen flowres, [both] within [in the quier] and without [in the temple. ³⁰ And the floore of the house he couered with golde, [both] within [in the quier] and [also] without [in the temple. ³¹ And in the entering of the quier, he made two doores of Oliue tree: And both the vpper & two side postes were fiue square ³² The two doores also were of oliue tree, & he graued them with grauing of Cherubs and paulme trees and grauen flowres, & couered them with golde, & layde thinne plates of golde vpon the Cherubs and paulme trees ³³ And so made he for the doore of the temple, postes of Oliue tree foure square ³⁴ The two doores were of firre tree, and either doore with foulding leaues ³⁵ And he graued thereon Cherubs, paulme trees, & carued flowres: and couered the carued worke with golde finelie wrought ³⁶ And he built the inner court with three rowes of hewed stone, and one rowe of Cedar wood ³⁷ In the fourth yere was the foundation of the house of the Lorde layde, euen in the moneth Zif ³⁸ And in the leuenth yere, in the moneth Bul (which is the eyght moneth) was the house full finished throughout all the partes thereof, according to all the fashion of it: And so was he seuen yeres in building it

⁸ And this house shalbe taken away: so that euery one that passeth by it, shalbe astonied, and shall hysse, and they shall say: Why hath the Lord done thus vnto this lande, and to this house

¹ And Dauid the king saide vnto all the congregation: God hath specially chosen Solomon my sonne which is yet young & tender, & the worke is great: for the house shall not be for man, but for the Lorde God

¹⁹ And geue vnto Solomon my sonne a perfect heart, to keepe thy commaundementes, thy testimonies, & thy statutes, and to do all, and builde the house, for the which I haue made prouision

⁹ That they may prepare me timber enough: For the house whiche I am determined to buylde, shalbe wonderfull great

⁴ And the porche that was before the length in the front, according to the breadth of the house, was twentie cubites, and the heyght was an hundred and twentie cubites: and he ouerlayed it on the inner syde with pure golde

⁷ He stretcheth out the noorth ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing

²⁵ (102:22) Thou hast before tyme layde the foundation of the earth: and the heauens are the worke of thy handes

⁵ He hath layde the earth sure vpon her foundations: that it can neuer moue at any tyme

⁹⁰ (119:2) Thy trueth [appeareth] to euery generation: thou hast layde the foundation of the earth, and it shall continue ⁹¹ (119:3) [All thynges] continue this day accordyng to thine ordinaunce: for all thinges be thy seruauntes

¹³ My hande hath layde the foundation of the earth, and my ryght hande hath spanned ouer the heauens: assoone as I call them, they stande together

⁶ Lyft vp your eyes towarde heauen, and loke vpon the earth beneath: for the heauens shall vanishe away lyke smoke, and the earth shal waxe olde like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall perishe in lyke maner: But my saluation shall endure for euer, and my ryghteousnesse shall not ceasse

¹⁶ For by him were all thinges created, that are in heaue and that are in earth, visible and inuisible, whether [they be] maiestie or lordeshippe, either rule or power: All thynges were created by hym and for hym ¹⁷ And he is before all thynges, and in hym all thynges consist

¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte throne, and him that sate on it, fro whose face fledde away both the earth and heauen, and their place was no more founde

¹ Moyses kept the sheepe of Iethro his father in lawe, priest of Madian: and he droue the flocke to the backesyde of the desert, aud came to the mountayne of God Horeb

¹⁰ Come thou therfore, and I wyll sende thee vnto Pharao, that thou mayest bryng my people the chyldren of Israel out of Egypt

¹¹ And Samuel sayde vnto Isai: Are heare all thy children? He sayde: There is, yet a litle one behind, that kepeth the sheepe. And Samuel said vnto Isai, Sende and fet him: for we will not syt downe, till he be come hyther ¹² And he sent, and brought him in: And he was ruddie, and of an excellet beawtie, and wel fauoured in sight. And the Lorde said, Aryse & annoynt him: For this is he

¹⁵ Dauid also went, and departed from Saul, to feede his fathers sheepe at Bethlehem ¹⁶ And the Philistine came foorth in the morning and euening, and continued fourtie dayes ¹⁷ And Isai sayd vnto Dauid his sonne: Take for thy brethren an Epha of this partched corne, & these ten loaues, and runne to the hoast to thy brethren ¹⁸ And cary these ten freshe cheeses vnto the captayne, and loke howe thy brethren fare, and set out their pledge ¹⁹ And Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fyghtyng with the Philistines ²⁰ And Dauid rose vp early in ye morning, and left the sheepe with a keper, & toke, and went as Isai had commaunded him, and came within the compasse of the hoast: And the hoast went out in array, and shouted in the battaile ²¹ For Israel and the Philistines had put them selues in array armie against armie ²² And Dauid left the thinges which he bare, vnder the handes of the keper of the vessels, and ran into the hoast, and came, and saluted his brethren ²³ And as he talked with them, behold, there stoode a man in the middes (Goliath the Philistine by name, of Gath) out of the armie of the Philistines, & spake such wordes: and Dauid heard it ²⁴ And all the people of Israel, when they sawe the man, ranne away from him, and were sore afrayde ²⁵ And euery man of Israel said: Sawe ye not this man that commeth vp? euen to reuile Israel is he come: And to him that killeth him, will the king geue great ritches, and will geue him his daughter thereto, yea and make his fathers house free in Israel ²⁶ And Dauid spake to ye men that stoode by, and sayd: What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh awaye the shame from Israel? And what is this vncircumcised Philistine, that he shoulde reuile the hoast of the liuing God ²⁷ And the people aunswered him (after this maner) saying: So shall it be done to the man that killeth him ²⁸ And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake vnto the men, and Eliab was angrye with Dauid, & sayde: Why camest thou downe hyther? and with whom hast thou left those fewe sheepe in the wildernes: I know thy pride and the malice of thyne heart, that thou art come downe to see the battel ²⁹ And Dauid sayde: And what haue I nowe done? is there not a cause ³⁰ And he departed from him into the presence of another, and spake of the same maner: and the people aunswered him againe, as before ³¹ And they that heard the wordes which Dauid spake, rehearsed them before Saul, which caused him to be fet ³² And Dauid sayde to Saul: Let no mans heart fayle him because of him: Thy seruaunt will go, and fight with yonder Philistine ³³ And Saul sayde to Dauid againe: Thou art not able to go against yonder Philistine, to fight with him: For thou art but a childe, but he is a man of warre euen from his youth ³⁴ Dauid aunswered vnto Saul: Thy seruaunt kept his fathers sheepe, & ther came a lion and likewise a beare, and toke a sheepe, out of the flocke ³⁵ And I went out after him, and smote him, and toke it out of his mouth: And whe he arose against me, I caught him by the bearde, and smote him, and slue him ³⁶ And so thy seruaunte slue both the lion, and the beare: And trulie this vncircumcised Philistine shalbe as one of them, seing he hath rayled on the hoast of the liuyng God ³⁷ And Dauid spake moreouer: The Lord that deliuered me out of the hand of the lion, and out of the hande of the beare, he shal deliuer me also out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul sayd vnto Dauid: Go, and the Lorde [shall] be with thee ³⁸ And Saul put his rayment vpon Dauid, and put an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and put a coate of mayle vpon him ³⁹ And gyrded Dauid with his owne sword vpon his rayment, and he assayed to go, and because he neuer proued it, Dauid saide vnto Saul: I cannot go with these, for I haue not vsed my selfe thereto. And Dauid put them of him ⁴⁰ And toke his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiue smoth stones out of a brooke, and put them in a shepheardes bagge which he had, that is in a scrippe, and his sling was in his hande, and he went to the Philistine ⁴¹ And the Philistine came and drewe neare against Dauid, and the man that bare the shielde went before him ⁴² And when the Philistine loked about & sawe Dauid, he disdayned him: for he was but young, ruddie & of a comly face ⁴³ And the Philistine sayd vnto Dauid: Am I a dogge, that thou commest to me with staues? And the Philistine cursed Dauid in ye name of his goddes ⁴⁴ And the Philistine sayde to Dauid: Come to me, and I wyll geue thy fleshe vnto the foules of the ayre, and to the beastes of the fielde ⁴⁵ Then sayde Dauid to the Philistine: Thou commest to me with a sword, a speare, & a shielde: But I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hoastes, the God of the hoast of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon ⁴⁶ This day shal the Lorde close thee into my hand, and I shall smite thee, & take thyne head from thee, & will geue the carkases of the hoast of the Philistines this daye vnto the foules of the ayre, & to the beastes of the earth, that all they which be in the worlde, maye knowe that there is a God in Israel ⁴⁷ And all this congregation shal know that the Lorde saueth not with sword, & speare (For the battaile is ye Lordes) and he shall geue you into our handes ⁴⁸ And when the Philistine arose to come and drawe nye to Dauid, Dauid hasted, and ran to fight against the Philistine ⁴⁹ And Dauid put his hand in his bagge, and toke out a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone suncke into his forehead, and he fell groueling to the earth ⁵⁰ And so Dauid ouercame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine, & slue him, euen when Dauid had no sword in his hand ⁵¹ But Dauid ran and stoode vpon the Philistine, and toke his sword, and drue it out of his sheathe, & slue him, and cut of his head therewith. And when the Philistines sawe that their champion was dead, they fled ⁵² And the men of Israel and of Iuda arose, and showted, and folowed after the Philistines, vntill they came to the valley, and vnto the gates of Acaron: And the Philistines fell downe wounded by the way to Saaraim, euen vnto Gath, and Acaron ⁵³ And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and spoyled their tentes ⁵⁴ And Dauid toke the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Hierusalem, but he put his armour in his tent

¹⁸ Nowe then do it: for the Lorde hath spoken of Dauid, saying: By the hande of my seruaunt Dauid, I will saue my people Israel out of the handes of the Philistines, and out of the hande of all their enemies

²¹ And Dauid sayd vnto Michol: It was before the Lorde, whiche chose me rather then thy father and all his house, and commaunded me to be ruler ouer all the people of the Lorde, euen ouer Israel, and therefore will I play before the Lorde

⁸ Now therfore, so say vnto my seruaunt Dauid: thus sayeth the lord of hoastes, I toke thee from the sheepe coate as thou wast folowing sheepe, that thou mightest be ruler ouer my people ouer Israel

¹⁹ So he departed thence, & found Elisa the sonne of Saphat plowing, & hauing twelue yocke of oxen before him, and he with the twelue: And Elias went by him, and cast his mantle vpon him ²⁰ And he left the oxen, and ranne after Elias, and sayde: Let me I pray thee kysse my father and my mother, & then I will folowe thee. He sayde vnto him: Go backe againe, for what is it that I haue done to thee

¹⁹ Thou hast spoken somtimes in visions vnto thy saintes: and hast sayde, I haue added ayde vpon the mightie, I haue exalted one chose out of the people ²⁰ I haue founde Dauid my seruaunt: I haue annoynted him with myne holye oyle

¹⁴ Then aunswered Amos, and sayde to Amazia, I was no prophete, neither was I a prophetes sonne: but I was an heardeman, and a gatherer of wilde figges ¹⁵ And the Lorde toke me as I folowed the flocke, and the Lord sayde vnto me, Go, prophecie vnto my people Israel

¹⁸ And Iesus, walkyng by the sea of Galilee, sawe two brethren, Simon (which was) called Peter, and Andrewe his brother, castyng a nette into the sea, (for they were fysshers. ¹⁹ And he saith vnto them: Folowe me, and I wyl make you fysshers of men ²⁰ And they strayghtwaye lefte their nettes, and folowed hym ²¹ And when he was gone foorth from thence, he sawe other two brethren, Iames, the sonne of Zebedee, & Iohn his brother, in the shippe with Zebedee their father, mendyng their nettes, and he called them ²² And they immediatly, left the shippe and their father, and folowed hym

¹³ Iacob aunswered him: my lord, thou knowest that the chyldren are tender, and the small and great cattell with young vnder my handes, which if men should ouerdryue but euen one day, all the flocke wyll dye

⁷ The Lord maketh poore, and maketh ryche, bringeth lowe, and heaueth vp on hye ⁸ He rayseth vp the poore out of the dust, and lyfteth vp the beggar from the dounghyll, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: For the pyllers of the earth are the lordes, and he hath set the worlde vpon them

¹ And the Samuel toke a vessell of oyle, and powred it vpon his head, and kissed him, and sayd: Hath not the Lord annoynted thee, to be captaine ouer his inheritaunce

² And in time past whe Saul was our king, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayd to thee, thou shalt feede my people Israel, & thou shalt be a captayne ouer Israel

⁹ (28:10) O saue thy people, and geue thy blessing vnto thine inheritaunce: feede them and exalt them for euermore

⁶ Because promotion commeth neither from the east nor from the west: nor yet from the south ⁷ For God is the iudge: it is he that putteth downe one, and setteth vp another

⁷ (113:6) He rayseth vp the simple out of the dust: and lyfteth vp the poore from the dounghyll ⁸ (113:7) For to make him sit with the princes: euen with the princes of his people

⁵ I am he that made the earth, the men, and the cattell that are vpon the grounde with my great power & stretched out arme, and haue geuen it vnto whom it pleased me ⁶ And nowe wyll I deliuer all these landes into the power of Nabuchodonozor the kyng of Babylon my seruaunt: the beastes also of the fielde shall I geue hym, to do hym seruice
