Turne not asyde from it, nether to the righte hande ner to the lefte, yt thou mayest deale wysely whither so euer thou goest. ⁸ And let not the boke of this lawe departe out of thy mouth, but exercyse thy selfe therin daie and nighte, that thou mayest kepe and do euery thinge acordinge to it that is wrytte therin: Then shalt thou prospere in thy waies, and deale wysely. ⁹ Lo, I haue commaunded the to be stronge and bolde. Feare not, and be not afrayed: for the LORDE thy God is with ye, whither so euer thou goest. ¹⁰ Then commaunded Iosua the officers of the people, and sayde: ¹¹ Go thorow the hoost, and charge ye people, and saye: Prepare you vytayles, for ouer thre dayes shal ye go ouer this Iordane, that ye maye come in and take possession of the londe, which the LORDE youre God shal geue you.

³⁰ Therfore sayeth the LORDE God of Israel: I haue spoken, that thy house and thy fathers house shulde walke before me for euer. But now sayeth the LORDE: That be farre fro me. But who so euer honoureth me, him wil I honor also: as for those yt despyse me, they shal not be regarded.

¹⁰ The came ye LORDE, & stode, and called like as afore: Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel sayde: Speake (LORDE) for thy seruaunt heareth.

¹² Then toke Samuel a stone, & set it vp betwene Mispa & Sen, & called it ye Help stone, & sayde: Hither to hath the LORDE helped vs.

²⁴ Feare ye the LORDE therfore, and serue him faithfully with all yor hert: for ye haue sene, how greate thinges he doth vnto you. ²⁵ But yf ye do wickedly, both ye & youre kynge shal perishe.

²² Samuel saide: Hath the LORDE pleasure in sacrifices and burntofferynges, as in obeynge the voyce of the LORDE? Beholde, obedience is better then offerynge, and to herken is better then the fat of rammes.

Thus the Moabites were subdued vnto Dauid, so yt they broughte him giftes. ³ Dauid smote Hadad Eser also the sonne of Rehob kynge of Zoba, whan he wete to fetch his power agayne at ye water Euphrates. ⁴ And of them toke Dauid a thousande & seuen hundreth horsmen, and twenty thousande fote men, and lamed all the charettes, saue an hundreth which he kepte behynde. ⁵ But the Siryans came from Damascon to helpe Hadad Eser kynge of Zoba. And Dauid smote two and twentye thousande men of the Syrians, ⁶ and layed people vnto Damascus in Syria. Thus was Syria subdued vnto Dauid, so that they broughte him giftes: for ye LORDE helped Dauid whither so euer he wente. ⁷ And Dauid toke ye shyldes of golde, which Hadad Esers seruauntes had, and broughte them to Ierusalem. ⁸ But from Bethah & Berothai ye cities of Hadad Eser toke Dauid very moch brasse. ⁹ Whan Thoi the kynge of Hemath herde, that Dauid had smytten all the power of Hadad Eser, ¹⁰ he sent his sonne Ioram vnto Dauid to salute him frendly, & to blesse him, because he had foughten with Adad Eser and smytten him (for Thoi had warre with Hadad Eser) and had Iewels with him of syluer, of golde, and of brasse: ¹¹ which kynge Dauid halowed also vnto ye LORDE, with the syluer and golde which he sanctified vnto the LORDE from all the Heythe, whom he subdued, ¹² from Siria, fro Moab, from the childre of Ammon, from the Philistynes, fro Amalek, from the spoyle of Hadad Eser ye sonne of Rehob kynge of Zoba. ¹³ Dauid gat him selfe a name also whan he came, and smote eightene thousande of ye Sirians in ye Salt valley. ¹⁴ And he layed people in all Edomea, and all Edem was subdued vnto Dauid: for the LORDE helped Dauid, whither so euer he wente. ¹⁵ Thus was Dauid kynge ouer all Israel. And he executed iudgmente and righteousnes vnto all ye people. ¹⁶ Ioab ye sonne of Zeru Ia was captayne ouer the hoost. Iosaphat the sonne of Ahilud was Chaunceler. ¹⁷ Zadok the sonne of Achitob, & Ahimelech the sonne of Abiathar were prestes. Seraia was Scrybe. ¹⁸ Benaia the sonne of Ioiada was ouer ye Chrethians & Plethians. And the sonnes of Dauid were prestes.

¹ And it fortuned after this, that ye kynge of the children of Ammon dyed, & his sonne Hanun was kynge in his steade. ² Then sayde Dauid: I wyll do mercy vpon Hanun the sonne of Nahas, as his father dyd mercy vpon me. And so he sent, and comforted him by his seruautes ouer his fathers death. Now whan Dauids seruautes came into the londe of the children of Ammon, ³ the mightie men of the children of Ammon sayde vnto Hanun their lorde: Thynkest thou it is for the honor of yi father in yi sighte, yt Dauid hath sent comforters vnto the? Hath he not sent his seruauntes vnto ye (thynkest thou) to spye and search out the cite and to ouerthrowe it? ⁴ Then toke Hanun the seruauntes of Dauid, and shoue of the one halue of their beerdes, and cut of the halfe of their garmetes euen by the girdell, and so let them go. ⁵ Wha this was tolde Dauid, he sent to mete them: for the men were put to greate shame. And the kynge caused to saye vnto them: Abyde at Iericho, tyll youre beerdes be growne, & then come agayne. ⁶ Whan the childre of Ammon sawe that they stynked in the sighte of Dauid, they sent and hyred the Sirians of the house of Rehob, and the Sirians at Zoba euen twentye thousande fote men, and from the kynge of Maecha a thousande men, and from Istob twolue thousande men. ⁷ Whan Dauid herde that, he sent Ioab with all the hoost of ye men of warre. ⁸ And the children of Ammon wente forth, and prepared them selues to ye battayll before the intraunce of the gate. But the Siryans of Soba, of Rehob, of Istob and of Maecha were alone in the felde. ⁹ Now whan Ioab sawe that the battayll was set vpo him before and behynde, he chose of all the best yonge men in Israel, & prepared him selfe agaynst the Syrians. ¹⁰ And the resydue of the people put he vnder the hande of his brother Abisai, that he mighte prepare him agaynst the childre of Ammon. ¹¹ And sayde: Yf ye Syrians be to mightie for me, helpe thou me: but yf the children of Ammon be to mightie for the, I shal helpe the. ¹² Take a good corage vnto the, and let vs be stronge for oure people, and for ye cite of oure God: neuertheles the LORDE do what pleaseth him. ¹³ And Ioab made him forth with the people that was with him, to fighte agaynst the Syrians: and they fled before him. ¹⁴ And whan the children of Ammon sawe that the Syrians fled, they fled also before Abisai, & wente in to the cite. So Ioab turned agayne from the children of Ammon, & came to Ierusalem. ¹⁵ And whan the Syrians sawe yt they were smytten before Israel, they came together. ¹⁶ And Hadad Eser sent & broughte out ye Syrians beyonde the water, and conueyed their power in, & Sobath the chefe captayne of Hadad Eser wente before the. ¹⁷ Whan this was tolde Dauid, he gathered all Israel together, & wente ouer Iordane, and came to Helam, & the Syrians prepared them selues against Dauid to fighte with him, ¹⁸ howbeit the Syrians fled before Israel. And Dauid slewe of the Syrians seue hundreth charettes, & fortye thousande horsme, & Sobath the chefe captayne smote he also, so that he dyed there. ¹⁹ Whan the kynges which were vnder Adad Eser, sawe, that they were smytten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and were subdued vnto them. And the Syrians were afrayed to helpe the children of Ammon enymore.

¹ And the LORDE was wrothfully displeased of ye new agaynst Israel, and moued Dauid amonge them, because he saide: Go, nombre Israel and Iuda.

²⁶ And Salomon made shippes also at Ezeon Geber, which lyeth by Eloth besyde the Reed See shore in ye londe of the Edomites.

²⁷ Then toke he his first sonne, which shulde haue bene kynge in his steade, and offred him for a burntofferynge vpon the wall. Then came there a greate wrath ouer Israel, that they departed from him, and turned agayne into their londe.

⁵ Turne back, & tell Ezechias ye prynce of my people: Thus sayeth ye LORDE God of thy father Dauid: I haue herde thy praier, & considered yi teares. Beholde, I wil heale ye: on the thirde daye shalt thou go in to ye house of the LORDE,

¹ And Salomon beganne to buylde the house of the LORDE at Ierusalem vpon the mount Moria, that was shewed vnto Dauid his father, which Dauid had prepared for the rowme, vpon the corne floore of Arnan the Iebusite.

⁹ Amasias sayde vnto the man of God: What shal be done then with ye hundreth talentes yt I haue geue ye soudyers of Israel? The ma of God sayde: The LORDE hath yet more the this to geue the.

³¹ But whan the interpreters the chefe of Babilon were sent vnto him, to axe question at him (concernynge the wondertoke that had happened in the londe) God lefte him to be tempted, that it mighte be knowne what soeuer was in his hert.

¹⁵ For the olde Debytes that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had take of the bred and wyne, and fortye Sycles of syluer: Yee and their seruauntes had oppressed the people. But so dyd not I, and that because of the feare of God.

¹ And on the thirde daye put Hester on hir royall apparell, and stode in the courte of ye kinges palace within ouer agaynst the kynges house. And ye kynge sat vpo his royall seate in ye kynges palace ouer agaynst ye dore of the house.

¹ In the lode of Hus there was a man called Iob: an innocent and vertuous man, soch one as feared God, and eschued euell.

¹⁹ He delyuereth the out of sixe troubles, so that in the seuenth there can no harme touch the.

²⁸ And vnto man he sayde: Beholde, to feare the LORDE, is wy?dome: & to forsake euell, is vnderstondinge.

² But Eliu the sonne of Barachel the Bussite of the kynred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Iob, that he called himself iust before God.

⁶ For the LORDE aloweth ye waye of the rightuous, but the waye of the vngodly shal perishe.

⁸ Desyre off me, and I shall geue the the Heithen for thine enheritaunce, Yee the vttemost partes of the worlde for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shalt rule them with a rodde of yron, and breake the in peces like an erthen vessell.

¹¹ Serue the LORDE with feare, and reioyse before him with reuerence.

⁴ Oure fathers hoped in the, they trusted in the, ad thou dyddest delyuer them. ⁵ They callled vpon the, and were helped: they put their trust in the, and were not cofounded.

¹² What so euer he be that feareth the LORDE, he shal shewe him the waye that he hath chosen.

¹⁴ The secrete of the LORDE is amonge them that feare him, and he sheweth them his couenaunt.

⁶ I wolde declare them, and speake of the: but they are so many, that they can not be tolde. ⁷ Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not haue but a body hast thou ordeined me: burntofferynges and sacrifice for synne thou hast not alowed. Then sayde I: Lo, I come. ⁸ In the begynnynge of the boke it is written of me, that I shulde fulfill thy wil O my God, & that am I contet to do: yee thy lawe is within my hert.

¹ O God, thou yt hast cast vs out and scatred vs abrode, thou yt hast bene so sore displeased at vs, coforte vs agayne. ² Thou yt hast remoued the lode & deuyded it, heale the sores therof, for it shaketh. ³ Thou hast shewed thy people heuy thinges, thou hast geuen vs a drynke off wyne, yt we slobre withall. ⁴ Yet hast thou geue a toke for soch as feare the, yt they maye cast it vp in ye treuth. ⁵ Sela. That thy beloued might be delyuered, helpe them with thy right hande, and heare me. ⁶ God hath spoke in his Sactuary (which thinge reioyseth me) I wil deuyde Siche, & mete out the valley of Suchoth ⁷ Galaad is myne, Manasses is myne, Ephraim is the strength of my heade, Iuda is my captayne. ⁸ Moab is my washpotte, ouer Edom wil I stretch out my shue, Philistea shal be glad of me. ⁹ Who will lede me in to the stronge cite? Who will bringe me in to Edom? ¹⁰ Shalt not thou do it, o God, thou yt hast cast vs out: thou God, yt wentest not out wt or hoostes? ¹¹ O be thou oure helpe in trouble, for vayne is the helpe of man. ¹² Thorow God we shal do greate actes, for it is he that shal treade downe oure enemies.

⁸ His dominion shalbe from the one see to the other, and from the floude vnto the worldes ende. ⁹ They that dwell in the wildernes, shal knele before him, & his enemies shal licke the dust.

¹⁷ & shal be grene in the cite, like grasse vpo the earth.

¹⁹ The LORDE is oure defence, and the holy one of Israel is oure kynge. ²⁰ Thou spakest somtyme in visios vnto thy sayntes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vpon one that is mightie, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

⁹ Yee the couenaunt that he made wt Abraham, and the ooth that he swore vnto Isaac.

¹⁰ The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wy?dome, a good vnderstondinge haue all they that do therafter: the prayse of it endureth for euer.

²⁷ God is the LORDE, & hath shewed vs light: O garnish the solempne feast with grene braunches, eue vnto the hornes of ye aulter.

⁶⁰ I make haist, and prolonge not the tyme, to kepe thy commaundemetes.

¹¹ But the LORDES delyte is in them that feare him, and put their trust in his mercy.

⁷ The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome and nurtoure.

²⁵ The LORDE wyl breake downe ye house of ye proude, but he shal make fast ye borders of ye wyddowe.

³ Like as syluer is tried in the fyre and golde in the fornace, euen so doth the LORDE proue the hertes.

²⁵ A good reporte out of a farre countre, is like colde water to a thyrstie soule.

¹² But though an euell personne offende an hundreth tymes, and haue a longe life: yet am I sure, that it shal go well with the that feare God, because they haue him before their eyes. ¹³ Agayne, as for the vngodly, it shall not be well with him, nether shal he prologe his dayes: but euen as a shadowe, so shall he be that feareth not God.

¹⁰ What so euer thou takest in hande to do, that do with all thy power: for amoge the deed (where as thou goest vnto) there is nether worke, councell, knowlege ner wy?dome.

¹³ Lat vs heare the conclucion of all thinges: Feare God, and kepe his comaundementes, for that toucheth all men:

⁸ After this I herde the voyce of the LORDE takinge advysement on this maner: Whom shall I sende, and who wilbe oure messaunger? The I sayde: here am I, sende me.

³ And thou, which art the doer and hast the matter in honde: shalt prouyde for peace, eue the peace yt me hope for in the. ⁴ Hope stil in the LORDE, for in the LORDE God is euerlastinge stregth.

²¹ and thine eares harken to his worde, that crieth after the and saieth: This is the waye, go this, and turne nether to the right honde nor the leffte.

²³ I sweare by myself: out of my mouth cometh ye worde of rightuousnesse, and that maye no man turne: but all knees shal bowe vnto me, and all tunges shal sweare by me,

⁴ Howbeit (of a treuth) he only taketh awaye oure infirmite, & beareth oure payne: Yet we shal iudge him, as though he were plaged and cast downe of God: ⁵ where as he (not withstodinge) shal be wouded for oure offences, & smytten for oure wickednes. For the payne of or punyshmet shalbe layde vpo him, & wt his stripes shal we be healed. ⁶ As for vs, we go all astraye (like shepe), euery one turneth his owne waye. But thorow him, the LORDE pardoneth all or synnes.

⁶ As for vs, we go all astraye (like shepe), euery one turneth his owne waye. But thorow him, the LORDE pardoneth all or synnes.

⁶ As for vs, we go all astraye (like shepe), euery one turneth his owne waye. But thorow him, the LORDE pardoneth all or synnes. ⁷ He shal be payned & troubled, ad shal not ope his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shal he be as still as a lambe before the shearer, & not open his mouth.

⁷ He shal be payned & troubled, ad shal not ope his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shal he be as still as a lambe before the shearer, & not open his mouth. ⁸ He shal be had awaye, his cause not herde, & wtout eny iudgment: Whose generacion yet no man maye nombre, when he shalbe cut of fro the grounde of the lyvinge: Which punyshment shal go vpon him, for the transgression of my people.

⁸ He shal be had awaye, his cause not herde, & wtout eny iudgment: Whose generacion yet no man maye nombre, when he shalbe cut of fro the grounde of the lyvinge: Which punyshment shal go vpon him, for the transgression of my people. ⁹ His graue shalbe geue him with the codemned, & his crucifienge with the theues, Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnright, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in his mouth.

⁹ His graue shalbe geue him with the codemned, & his crucifienge with the theues, Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnright, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in his mouth. ¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased ye LORDE to smyte him with infirmite, that when he had made his soule an offeringe for synne, he might se a loge lastinge sede. And this device of the LORDE shal prospere in his honde.

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased ye LORDE to smyte him with infirmite, that when he had made his soule an offeringe for synne, he might se a loge lastinge sede. And this device of the LORDE shal prospere in his honde. ¹¹ With trauayle and laboure of his soule, shal he optayne greate riches. My rightuous seruaunt shall with his wisdome iustifie & delyuer the multitude, for he shal beare awaye their synnes. ¹² Therfore wil I geue him the multitude for his parte, & he shal deuyde the stroge spoyle because he shal geue ouer his soule to death, & shalbe rekened amonge the transgressours, which neuertheles shal take awaye ye synnes of the multitude, and make intercession for the my?doers.

²³ but this I commaunded them, sayenge: herken and obeye my voyce, and I shalbe youre God and ye shal be my people: so that ye walke in all the wayes, which I haue comaunded you, that ye maye prospere.

⁵ for they haue set vp an aulter vnto Baal, to burne their children for a burntoffringe vnto Baal, which I nether commaunded, ner charged them, nether thought once there vpon.

²² and hast geuen them this londe, like as thou haddest promysed vnto their fathers: Namely, that thou woldest geue them a lode, that floweth with mylke and honye.

⁴⁰ And I will set vp an euerlastinge couenaunt with them, Namely: that I will neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I will put my feare in their hertes, so that they shall not runne awaye fro me.

²² For like as the starres of heauen maye not be nombred, nether the sonde of the see measured: so will I multiplie the sede of Dauid my seruaunt, and of the Leuites my ministers.

¹³ For why, I haue sworne by my selff (saieth the LORDE) that Bosra shall become a wyldernesse, an open shame, a laughinge stocke and cursynge: and hir cities shalbe a continuall deserte.

¹⁴ The LORDE of hoostes hath sworne by himself, that he wil ouer whelme the with men like greshoppers in nombre, which with a corage shall crie Alarum Alarum agaynst the.

³⁵ Thus shal it haue xviij M measures roude aboute. And from that tyme forth, ye name of the cite shalbe: the LORDE is there.

⁴⁴ In the dayes off these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlastinge kyngdome which shall not perish, and his kyngdome shall not be geuen ouer to another people: Yee the same shall breake and destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer. ⁴⁵ And where as thou sawest, that without eny hondes there was cut out of the mount a stone, which brake the yron, the copper ye earth, the syluer and golde in peces: by that hath ye greate God shewed the kynge, what wyl come after this. This is a true dreame, and the interpretacion of it is sure.

¹⁷ oure God whom we serue, is able to kepe vs from the hote burnynge ouen (O kynge) and can right wel delyuer vs out off thy hondes. ¹⁸ And though he wil not, yet shalt thou knowe (o kynge) that we will not serue thy goddes, ner do reuerece to the ymage, which thou hast set vp. ¹⁹ Then was Nabuchodonosor full off indignacion, so that ye countenaunce of his face chaunged vpo Sidrac, Misac & Abdenago. Therfore he charched and commaunded, that the ouen shulde be made seuen tymes hoter, then it was wote to be: ²⁰ and spake vnto the strongest worthies that were in his hooste, for to bynde Sidrac, Misac and Abdenago, and to cast them in to the hote burnynge ouen. ²¹ So these men were bounde in their cotes, hosen, shues with their other garmentes, ad cast in to the hote burnynge ouen: ²² for the kinges commaundement was so strate, and the ouen was exceadynge hote. As for the men that put in Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago, the flame off the fyre destroyed them. ²³ And these thre men Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago fell downe in ye hote burnynge ouen, beinge fast bounde. ²⁴ Then Nabuchodonosor the kynge marueled, and stode vp in all haist: he spake vnto his councel and sayde: dyd not ye cast these thre men bounde in to the fyre? They answered, and sayde vnto the kynge: Yee o kynge. ²⁵ He answered and sayde: lo, for all that, yet do I se foure men goinge lowse in the myddest off the fyre, and nothinge corrupte: and the fourth is like an angel to loke vpon.

² He hath wounded vs, & he shal bynde vs vp agayne: after two dayes shal he quycken vs, in the thirde daye he shal rase vs vp, so that we shal lyue in his sight.

⁸ The LORDE God hath sworne euen by himself (sayeth the LORDE God of hoostes:) I hate the pryde of Iacob, and I abhorre his palaces: and I wil geue ouer the cite, wt all that is therin:

⁹ for their woude is past remedy: And why? it is come in to Iuda, & hath touched ye porte of my people at Ierusale allredy.

¹⁰ And now (o thou doughter Sion) be sory, let it greue the as a wife laboringe with childe: for now must thou get the out off the cite, and dwell vpon the playne felde: Yee vnto Babilo shalt thou go, there shalt thou be delyuered, and there the LORDE shal lowse the from the honde off thine enemies.

⁶ What acceptable thynge shal I offre vnto the LORDE? shall I bowe mykne to the hye God? Shal I come before him wt brentofferinges, and with calues of a yeare olde? ⁷ Hath the LORDE a pleasure in many thousand rammes, or innumerable streames of oyle? Or shal I geue my firstborne for myne offences, and the frute of my body for the synne of my soule?

⁷ Hath the LORDE a pleasure in many thousand rammes, or innumerable streames of oyle? Or shal I geue my firstborne for myne offences, and the frute of my body for the synne of my soule? ⁸ I wil shewe the (O ma) what is good, and what the LORDE requyreth off the: Namely, to do right, to haue pleasure in louynge kyndnesse, to be lowly, and to walke with thy God:

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall the Sone of rightuousnesse aryse, & health shalbe vnder his winges. Ye shal go forth, & multiplie as ye fat calues.

¹⁶ Let youre light so shyne before men, that they maye se youre good workes, and glorify youre father which is in heauen.

¹⁷ that ye thinge might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esay the Prophet, sayinge: He toke on him oure infirmities, and bare oure sickneses.

³⁷ Who so loueth father and mother more then me, is not mete for me: and he that loueth sonne or doughter more then me, is not mete for me.

³⁷ Who so loueth father and mother more then me, is not mete for me: and he that loueth sonne or doughter more then me, is not mete for me. ³⁸ And he yt taketh not his crosse and foloweth me, is not mete for me.

²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: Yf eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake himself, & take vp his crosse, and folowe me.

²³ and they shal kyll him, and the thirde daye shal he aryse agayne. And they were very sory.

²⁶ Neuertheles Iesus behelde them, and sayde vnto them: With men it is vnpossyble, but with God all thinges are possyble.

²⁹ And who so euer forsaketh houses or brethre, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or londes, for my names sake, the same shal receaue an hundreth folde, and inheret euerlastinge life.

¹ Now whan they drew nye vnto Ierusalem, and were come to Bethphage vnto mount Oliuete, Iesus sent two of his disciples, ² and sayde vnto them: Go in to the towne that lyeth before you, & anone ye shal fynde an Asse bounde, and hir foale with her: lowse them, and brynge the vnto me. ³ And yf eny man saye ought vnto you, saye ye: the LORDE hath nede of the, And straight waye he wil let them go. ⁴ But all this was done, that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, sayenge: ⁵ Tell the doughter of Sion: beholde, thy kynge commeth vnto ye meke, syttinge vpon an Asse and a foale of ye Asse vsed to the yocke. ⁶ The disciples wente, and dyd as Iesus commaunded them, ⁷ and brought the Asse and the foale, & layed their clothes vpon them, and set him theron. ⁸ But many of the people spred their garmentes in the waye: other cut downe braunches from the trees, and strawed them in the waye. ⁹ As for the people that wente before and that came after, they cryed and sayde: Hosianna vnto the sonne of Dauid, Blessed be he that commeth in the name of the LORDE, Hosianna in the height. ¹⁰ And whan he was come in to Ierusalem, all the cite was moued, and sayde: Who is this? ¹¹ And the people sayde: This is Iesus ye prophet of Nazareth out of Galile. ¹² And Iesus wente in to the teple of God, and cast out all them that bought and solde in the teple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money chaungers, and the seates of them that solde doues, ¹³ and sayde vnto them: It is wrytte: My house shalbe called ye house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of murthurers. ¹⁴ The blynde also and ye lame came vnto him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ But whan the hye prestes and the scrybes sawe the wonders that he dyd, and the children crienge in the temple and sayenge: Hosianna vnto the sonne of Dauid, they disdayned, ¹⁶ and sayde vnto him: Hearest thou what these saye? Iesus sayde vnto them: Yee. Haue ye neuer red: Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklinges thou hast ordeyned prayse? ¹⁷ And he left them there, and wente out of the cite vnto Bethania, and there abode ouer night. ¹⁸ But in the mornynge as he returned in to the cite, he hugred. ¹⁹ And in the waye he sawe a fygge tre, and came vnto it, and founde nothinge theron, but leaues onely, and sayde vnto it: Neuer frute growe on the from hence forth. And immediatly the fygge tre wythred awaye. ²⁰ And whan his disciples sawe that, they marueyled, and sayde. How is ye fygge tre wythred awaye so soone? ²¹ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you: Yf ye haue faith & doute not, ye shal not onely do this with the fygge tre, but yf ye shal saye vnto this mountayne: Avoyde, and cast thy self in to the see, it shal be done. ²² And what soeuer ye axe in prayer, yf ye beleue, ye shal receaue it. ²³ And when he was come in to the teple, the chefe prestes and the elders of the people came vnto him (as he was teachinge) & sayde: By what auctorite doest thou these thinges? and who gaue the this auctorite? ²⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: I wil axe a worde of you also: which yf ye tell me, I in like wyse wyl tell you, by what auctorite I do these thinges. ²⁵ The baptime of Iho, whece was it? from heaue, or of men? Then thought they amoge them selues, and saide: Yf we saye it was from heaue, then shal he saye vnto us: Why dyd ye not then beleue him? ²⁶ But yf we saye it was of men, the feare we the people: For euery ma helde Ihon for a prophet. ²⁷ And they answered Iesus, & sayde: We can not tell. Then sayde he vnto them: Nether tell I you, by what auctorite I do these thinges. ²⁸ But what thinke ye? A certayne man had two sonnes, and came to the first, and sayde: Go thy waye my sonne, & worke to daye in my vynyarde. ²⁹ He answered and sayde: I wil not, but afterwarde he repented, and wente. ³⁰ He came also vnto the secode, and sayde likewyse. And he answered and saide: I wil syr. And wete not. ³¹ Whether of them twayne dyd the wil of the father? They sayde vnto him: the first. Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: The publicans and harlottes shal come in to the kyngdome of God before you. ³² For Ihon came vnto you, and taught you ye right waye and ye beleued him not: but the publicans & harlottes beleued hi. As for you, though ye sawe it, yet were ye not moued with repetaunce, that ye might afterwarde haue beleued him. ³³ Heare another parable. There was a certayne houssholder which planted a vynyarde, and hedged it roude aboute, and dygged a wyne presse in it, and built a tower, and let it out vnto hussbandmen, and wente in to a straunge countre. ³⁴ Now wha the tyme of the frute drew neare, he sent his seruautes to the hussbandmen, to receaue the frutes of it. ³⁵ Then the hussbandmen caught his seruauntes: one they bett, another they kylled, the thirde they stoned. ³⁶ Agayne, he sent other seruauntes, moo then the first, and they dyd vnto them in like maner. ³⁷ At the last he sent his owne sonne vnto them, and sayde: they wyl stode in awe of my sonne. ³⁸ But whe the hussbandme sawe the sonne, they sayde amonge the selues: This is the Heyre, come, let us kyl hym, and take his inheritauce vnto oure selues. ³⁹ And they caught him, and thrust him out of the vynyarde, & slew him. ⁴⁰ Now whe the lorde of the vynyarde commeth, what wyl he do wt those hussbandmen? ⁴¹ They sayde vnto him: He wyl cruelly destroye those euell personnes, & let out his vyniarde vnto other hussbadmen, which shal delyuer him the frute at tymes conuenyent. ⁴² Iesus sayde vnto the: Dyd ye neuer rede in the scriptures: The same stone which the buylders refused, is become the heade stone in the corner? This was the LORDES doynge, & it is maruelous i oure eyes ⁴³ Therfore I saie vnto you: The kingdome of God shalbe take fro you, & shalbe geue vnto the Heithe, which shal brynge forth ye frutes of it. ⁴⁴ And who so falleth vpo this stone, shalbe broke in peces: & loke vpo whom it falleth, it shal grynde him to poulder. ⁴⁵ And when the hye prestes & Pharises herde his parables, they perceaued, that he spake of them. ⁴⁶ And they wente aboute to take him, but they feared ye people, because they helde hi for a prophet.

¹ And it came to passe wha Iesus had fynished all these wordes, he sayde vnto his disciples: ² Ye knowe, that after two dayes shalbe Easter, and the sonne of man shalbe delyuered to be crucified. ³ Then assembled together the hye prestes and the scrybes, and the elders of the people in to the palace of the hye prest which was called Caiphas, ⁴ and helde a councell, how they might take Iesus by disceate, and kyll him. ⁵ But they sayde: Not on the holy daye, lest there be an vproure in the people. ⁶ Now when Iesus was at Bethany in the house of Symon the leper, ⁷ there came vnto hi a woman, which had a boxe with precious oyntment, and poured it vpon his heade, as he sat at the table. ⁸ Whan his disciples sawe that, they dissdayned, and sayde: Where to serueth this waist? ⁹ This oyntmet might haue bene wel solde, and geue to the poore. ¹⁰ Whe Iesus perceaued that, he sayde vnto them: Why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good worke vpon me ¹¹ for ye haue allwaye the poore with you, but me shal ye not haue allwayes. ¹² Where as she hath poured this oyntmet vpon my body, she dyd it to bury me. ¹³ Verely I saye vnto you: where so euer this gospell shalbe preached thorow out all the worlde, there shal this also that she hath done, be tolde for a memoriall of her. ¹⁴ Then one of the twolue (called Iudas Iscarioth) wente vnto the hye prestes, ¹⁵ and sayde: What wil ye geue me, and I shal delyuer him vnto you? And they offred hi thirtie syluer pens. ¹⁶ And from that tyme forth, he sought oportunyte to betraye him? ¹⁷ The first daye of swete bred came the disciples to Iesus, and sayde vnto him: Where wilt thou that we prepare for the, to eate the Easter lambe? ¹⁸ He sayde: Go in to the cite to soch a man, and saye vnto him: The Master sendeth the worde: My tyme is at honde, I wil kepe myne Easter by the with my disciples. ¹⁹ And the disciples dyd as Iesus had appoynted them, and made ready the Easter lambe. ²⁰ And at euen he sat downe at the table with the twolue. ²¹ And as they ate, he sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: One of you shal betraye me. ²² And they were exceadinge soroufull, and beganne euery one of them to saye vnto him: Syr, is it I? ²³ He answered and sayde: He that deppeth his honde with me in the dysshe, the same shal betraye me. ²⁴ The sonne of man goeth forth, as it is wrytten of him: but wo vnto that man by who the sonne of man shalbe betrayed: It had bene better for that ma, yf he had neuer bene borne. ²⁵ The Iudas that betrayed him, answered and sayde: Master, is it I? He sayde vnto: him Thou hast sayde. ²⁶ And as they ate, Iesus toke the bred, gaue thankes, brake it, and gaue it to the disciples, and sayde: Take, eate, this is my body. ²⁷ And he toke the cuppe, and thanked, and gaue it the, and sayde: Drynke ye all therof,

³⁹ And he wente forth a litle, and fell flat vpon his face, and prayed sayenge: O my father, yf it be possible, let this cuppe passe fro me: neuertheles not as I wil but as thou wilt.

⁴² Agayne, he wete forth the seconde tyme and prayed, sayenge: O my father, yf this cuppe can not passe awaye fro me (excepte I drynke of it) thy will be fulfilled.

² and bounde him, and led him forth, and delyuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the debyte.

²⁸ Then sayde Peter vnto him: Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and folowed the. ²⁹ Iesus answered & sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no man that forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife, or children, or londes for my sake and the gospels, ³⁰ that shal not receaue an hundreth folde now in this tyme, houses, and brethre, and sisters, and mothers and children, and londes with persecucions, and in the worlde to come euerlastinge life. ³¹ But many that are the first, shal be the last: and the last the first.

¹ And soone in the mornynge the hye prestes helde a councell wt the elders and scrybes and the whole councell, & bounde Iesus, and led him awaye, and delyuered him vnto Pylate.

⁶⁸ Blessed be ye LORDE God of Israel, for he hath vysited and redemed his people. ⁶⁹ And hath set vp an horne of saluacion in the house of his seruaunt Dauid. ⁷⁰ Euen as he promysed afore tyme, by the mouth of his holy prophetes. ⁷¹ hat he wolde delyuer vs fro oure enemies, & from ye hande of all soch as hate vs. ⁷² And yt he wolde shewe mercy vnto oure fathers, & thynke vpo his holy couenaut. ⁷³ Euen the ooth yt he sware vnto oure father Abraham,

⁷³ Euen the ooth yt he sware vnto oure father Abraham, ⁷⁴ for to geue vs.That we delyuered out of ye hade of or enemies, might serue him without feare ⁷⁵ all the dayes of oure life, in soch holynes and righteousnes as is accepte before him.

³² And he sayde vnto the: Go ye and tell that foxe: beholde, I cast out deuels, and heale the people todaye and tomorow, and vpo the thirde daye shal I make an ende:

²⁶ Yf eny man come vnto me, and hate not his father, mother, wife, childre, brethre, sisters, yee and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.

²⁶ Ought not Christ to haue suffred these thinges, and to entre in to his glory? ²⁷ And he beganne at Moses and at all the prophetes, and expounded vnto them all the scriptures, that were spoken of him.

¹⁴ And the worde became flesh, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe his glory, a glory as of the onely begotte sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

²⁹ The nexte daye after, Ihon sawe Iesus commynge vnto him, and sayde: Beholde the labe of God, which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.

³⁶ And wha he sawe Iesus walkynge, he sayde: Beholde the labe of God.

¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his onely sonne, that who so euer beleueth in hi, shulde not perishe, but haue euerlastinge life.

¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I leaue my life, that I maye take it agayue. ¹⁸ Noma taketh it fro me, but I leaue it of myself. I haue power to leaue it, and haue power to take it agayne. This commaundement haue I receaued of my father.

¹¹ Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter: Put vp thy swerde in to the sheeth. Shal I not drynke of ye cuppe, which my father hath geue me?

¹⁷ And he bare his crosse, and wente out to the place called ye place of deed men skulles, which in Hebrue is named Golgatha,

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophetes and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto or fathers, whan he sayde vnto Abraha: Thorow yi sede shal all ye nacios of ye earth be blessed.

³² The tenoure of the scripture which he red, was this: He was led as a shepe to be slayne, and as a lambe voycelesse before his sherer, so opened he not his mouth.

⁴ and he fell to the earth, and herde a voyce, which sayde vnto him: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?

³¹ So the congregacions had rest thorow out all Iewry, and Galile, and Samaria, & were edified, and walked in the feare of the LORDE, and were fylled with the comforte of the holy goost.

¹⁴ But whan we were all fallen downe to the earth, I herde a voyce speakynge vnto me, and sayege in Hebrue: Saul Saul, why persecutest thou me? It shalbe harde for the to kycke agaynst the prycke.

³ off his sonne, which was begotte of ye sede of Dauid after the flesh:

¹³ For the promes (that he shulde be ye heyre of the worlde) was not made vnto Abraham or to his sede thorow the lawe, but thorow the righteousnes of faith. ¹⁴ For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres, the is faith vayne, and the promes of none effecte,

⁸ Therfore doth God set forth his loue towarde vs, in yt Christ dyed for vs,whan we were yet synners:

¹⁵ are Gods childre: for ye haue not receaued the sprete of bondage to feare eny more, but ye haue receaued ye sprete of adopcion, wherby we crye: Abba, deare father.

³² Which spared not his owne sonne, but hath geuen him for vs all: how shal he not with him geue vs all thinges also?

¹⁰ Howbeit it is not so with this onely, but also whan Rebecca was with childe by one (namely by oure father Isaac)

⁷ Pourge out therfore the olde leuen, that ye maye be new dowe, like as ye are swete bred. For we also haue an Easter lambe, which is Christ, that is offred for vs. ⁸ Wherfore let vs kepe Easter, not in ye olde leuen, ner in the leuen of maliciousnes, and wickednes, but in the swete bred of purenesse and of the trueth.

¹³ There hath yet no teptacion ouertaken you, but soch as foloweth the nature of man. Neuertheles God is faithfull, which shal not suffre you to be tempted aboue youre strength, but shal in the myddes of ye temptacion make a waye to come out, that ye maye beare it.

⁴ and that he was buried, and that he rose agayne ye thirde daye acordinge to the scriptures,

⁵⁷ But thankes be vnto God, which hath geue vs the victory thorow oure LORDE Iesus Christ.

⁸ Brethren we wolde not haue you ignoraunt of oure trouble, which happened vnto vs in Asia, for we were greued out off measure passynge strength, so that we euen dispared of life, ⁹ and had concluded in oure selues yt we must nedes dye. But this was done, because we shulde not put oure trust in oure selues, but in God, which rayseth vp the deed to life agayne: ¹⁰ which delyuered vs from so greate a death, and yet delyuereth daylie, On whom we trust, that he wil delyuer vs here after also,

¹² For yf there be a wyllinge mynde, it is accepted acordinge to that a man hath, not acordinge to that he hath not.

¹⁶ for to declare his sonne in me, that I shulde preach him thorow the Gospell amonge the Heythen, immediatly I commened not of the matter with flesh and bloude:

⁸ The scripture sawe afore hade, that God iustifieth the Heythen thorow faith. Therfore shewed it glad tydinges afore vnto Abraham, and sayde: In the shal all the Heythen be blessed. ⁹ So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.

¹³ But Christ hath delyuered vs from ye curse of the lawe, whan he became a curse for vs. (For it is wrytte: Cursed is euery man that hangeth on tre)

¹⁶ To Abraham and his sede were the promyses made. He sayeth not: In the sedes, as in many, but in thy sede, as in one, which is Christ.

¹⁸ For yf the enheritaunce be gotten by the lawe, then is it not geuen by promes. But God gaue it frely vnto Abraham by promes.

²⁸ Here is nether Iewe ner Greke: here is nether bode ner fre: here is nether man ner woman, for ye are all one in Christ Iesu. ²⁹ Yf ye be Christes, the are ye Abrahas sede and heyres acordynge to the promes.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs wt all maner of spirituall blessynge in heauenly thynges by Christ

² and walke in loue, euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and sacrifice of a swete sauoure vnto God.

⁷ but made him selfe of no reputacion, and toke vpon him the shappe of a seruaunt, became like another man, ⁸ and was founde in his apparell as a man: he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen vnto the death of the crosse.

¹⁶ and without naye, greate is that mystery of godlynes. God was shewed in the flesh: was iustified in the sprete: was sene of angels: was preached vnto the Heythen: was beleued on in the worlde: was receaued vp in glory.

¹³ For whan God made promes to Abraham, because he had none greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe, ¹⁴ and sayde: Surely I wil blesse the and multiplye ye in dede.

²⁸ so Christ was once offred, to take awaye the synnes of many. And vnto them that loke for him, shal he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacion.

¹ Faith is a sure confidence of thinges which are hoped for, and a certaynte of thinges which are not sene. ² By it ye Elders were well reported of. ³ Thorow faith we vnderstonde, that the worlde and all the thinges which are sene, were made of naughte by the worde of God. ⁴ By faith offered Abell vnto God a more plenteous sacrifice: by the which he optayned wytnesse, that he was righteous: God testifyenge of his giftes, by the which also he beynge deed, yet speaketh. ⁵ By faith was Enoch take awaye, that he shulde not se death: and was not founde, because God had taken him awaye. For afore he was taken awaye, he had recorde that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is vnpossible to please God. For he that commeth vnto God, must beleue that God is, & yt he is a rewarder of them that seke him. ⁷ By faith Noe honoured God, after yt he was warned of thinges which were not sene, & prepared the Arke, to ye sauinge of his housholde: thorow the which Arke he condemned the worlde, and became heyre of the righteousnes, which commeth by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham (wha he was called) obeyed, to go out in to the place, which he shulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: and he wente out, not knowynge whither he shulde go.

⁸ By faith Abraham (wha he was called) obeyed, to go out in to the place, which he shulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: and he wente out, not knowynge whither he shulde go. ⁹ By faith was he a straunger in the lode of promes as in a straunge countre, & dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac & Iacob, heyres with him of the same promes: ¹⁰ for he loked for a cite which hath a foundacion, whose buylder and maker is God. ¹¹ By faith Sara also receaued strength to be with childe, and was delyuered of a childe whan she was past age, because she iudged him to be faithfull which had promysed. ¹² And therfore spronge there of one (yee euen off one which was as good as deed concernynge the body) so many in multitude as the starres off the skye, and as the sonde off the See shore, which is innumerable. ¹³ All these dyed acordinge to faith, and receaued not the promyses, but sawe the afarre off, and beleued them, and saluted them: and cofessed, that they were straungers & pilgrems vpo earth. ¹⁴ For they that saye soch thinges, declare, that they seke a naturall countre. ¹⁵ And doutles yf they had bene myndefull off that countre from whence they came out, they had leysure to haue returned agayne. ¹⁶ But now they desyre a better, that is to saye, a heauely. Wherfore God is not ashamed of the, eue to be called their God: for he hath prepared a cite for them. ¹⁷ By faith Abraha offered vp Isaac, wha he was tempted, and gaue ouer his onely begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses,

¹⁷ By faith Abraha offered vp Isaac, wha he was tempted, and gaue ouer his onely begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses,

¹⁷ By faith Abraha offered vp Isaac, wha he was tempted, and gaue ouer his onely begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses, ¹⁸ of whom it was sayde: In Isaac shal thy sede be called:

¹⁸ of whom it was sayde: In Isaac shal thy sede be called: ¹⁹ For he considered, yt God was able to rayse vp agayne from the deed. Therfore receaued he him for an ensample.

¹⁹ For he considered, yt God was able to rayse vp agayne from the deed. Therfore receaued he him for an ensample.

¹⁹ For he considered, yt God was able to rayse vp agayne from the deed. Therfore receaued he him for an ensample. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concernynge thinges to come. ²¹ By faith Iacob, whan he was a dyenge, blessed both the sonnes off Ioseph, & bowed himselfe towarde the toppe of his cepter. ²² By faith Ioseph whan he dyed, remembred ye departynge of the childre of Israel, & gaue comaundemet concernynge his bones. ²³ By faith Moses wha he was borne, was hyd thre monethes of his Elders, because they sawe that he was a proper childe, nether feared they the kynges comaundemet. ²⁴ By faith Moses whan he was greate, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughter: ²⁵ and chose rather to suffre aduersite with the people of God, then to enioye ye pleasures of synne for a season: ²⁶ and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, then the treasure of Egipte: for he had respecte vnto the rewarde. ²⁷ By faith he forsoke Egipte, and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge: for he endured, eue as though he had sene him which is inuisible. ²⁸ By faith he helde Easter, and the effusion of bloude, lest he which slewe the firstborne, shulde touche them. ²⁹ By faith they passed thorow the reed See as by drye londe: which wha the Egipcians assayed to do, they were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walles of Iericho fell, wha they were compased aboute seuen dayes. ³¹ By faith the harlot Raab perished not with the vnbeleuers, wha she had receaued the spyes to lodginge peaceably. ³² And what shal I more saye? ye tyme wolde be to shorte for me to tell of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Samson, & of Iepthae, and of Dauid, and Samuel, and of the prophetes, ³³ which thorow faith subdued kyngdomes, wroughte righteousnes, optayned ye promyses, stopped ye mouthes of lyos ³⁴ quenched the violece of fyre, escaped ye edge of the swerde, of weake were made stronge, became valeaunt in batayll, turned to flighte the armyes of the aleauntes, ³⁵ the wemen receaued their deed agayne from resurreccion. But other were racked, and accepted no delyueraunce, that they mighte optayne the resurreccion that better is. ³⁶ Other taisted of mockinges and scourginges, of bondes also and presonment: ³⁷ were stoned, were hewen a sunder, were tempted, were slayne with the swerde, wente aboute in shepe skynnes and goates skynnes, in nede, in tribulacion, in vexacion, ³⁸ which (men) the worlde was not worthy of: they wandred aboute in wyldernesses, vpon mountaynes, in dennes and caues of the earth. ³⁹ And these all thorow faith optayned good reporte, and receaued not ye promes: ⁴⁰ because God had prouyded a better thinge for vs, that they without vs shulde not be made perfecte.

¹ Wherfore seynge we haue so greate a multitude of witnesses aboute vs let vs also laye awaye all yt presseth downe, and the synne that hangeth on, and let vs runne with pacience vnto the batayl that is set before vs,

²⁸ Wherfore, seynge we receaue the vnmoueable kyngdome, we haue grace, wherby we maye serue God, & please him, with reuerence and godly feare.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth in teptacion, for when he is tryed, he shal receaue the crowne of life, which the LORDE hath promised to them that loue him. ¹³ Let no man saye when he is tempted, yt he is tempted of God. For God tepteth not vnto euell, nether tepteth he eny man. ¹⁴ But euery ma is tepted, drawne awaye, & entysed of his awne cocupiscece.

¹⁸ Ye & a man might saye: Thou hast faith, and I haue dedes: Shewe me thy faith by thy dedes: and I wil shewe the my faith by my dedes.

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter?

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter?

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter? ²² Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect:

²² Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect: ²³ & the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God.

⁷ that youre faith once tryed (beynge moch more precious then the corruptible golde that is tryed thorow the fyre) might be founde vnto laude, glory and honoure at the appearynge of Iesus Christ:

¹⁹ but with the precious bloude of Christ, as of an innocet and vndefyled lambe, ²⁰ which was ordeyned before the worlde was made, but is declared in these last tymes for youre sakes,

²⁴ which his owne selfe bare oure synnes in his body vpon the tre, that we shulde be delyuered from synne, & shulde lyue vnto righteousnes: by whose strypes ye were healed.

⁹ By this appeared the loue of God to vs warde, because that God sent his onely begotten sonne in to this worlde, that we mighte lyue thorow him. ¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his sonne to make agremet for oure synnes.

⁶ And I behelde, & lo, in the myddes of the seate, and of ye foure beastes, and in the myddes of ye elders, stode a lambe as though he had bene kylled, which had seuen hornes and seue eyes, which are the seue spretes of God, sent in to all the worlde.

¹² sayenge with a loude voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was killed, to receaue power, and riches & wissdome, and strength, and honoure and glory, and blessynge.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: LORDE thou wotest. And he sayde vnto me: these are they which cam out of gret tribulacion, and made their garmentes large, and made the whyte in the bloude of the lambe:

¹⁵ And the seuenth angel blewe, and ther were made greate voyces in heauen, sayege: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure LORDES and his Christes, and he shal reigne for eurmore.

⁸ and all that dwell vpon the earth worshipt him: whose names are not wrytten in the boke of life of the lambe, which was kylled from the beginnynge of the worlde.

⁵ And a voice came out of the seate, sayenge: prayse or LORDE God all ye that are his seruautes, & ye that feare him both small and greate.
