¹⁴ And they founde written in the lawe, how that the LORDE had commaunded by Moses, that the childre of Israel shulde dwell in bothes in the feast of the seuenth moneth. ¹⁵ And so they caused it be declared and proclamed in all their cities, & at Ierusalem, sayenge: Go vp vnto ye mout and fetch Olyue braunches, Pynebraunches, Myrtbraunches, Palmebraunches, & braunches of thicketrees, to make bothes as it is wrytten. ¹⁶ And ye people wente vp, and fetched the, and made them bothes, euery one vpon the rofe of his house, and in their courtes, and in the courtes of the house of God, and in the strete by the Watergate, and in the strete by Ephraims porte. ¹⁷ And all the congregacion of them that were come agayne out of the captyuite, made bothes, and dwelt therin: for sence the tyme of Iosua the sonne of Nu vnto this daye, had not the children of Israel done so, and there was very greate gladnesse. ¹⁸ And euery daye from the first daie vnto the last, red he in the boke of the lawe of God. And seuen dayes helde they the feast, & on the eight daye the gatherynge together, acordynge vnto the maner.

¹⁸ And euery daye from the first daie vnto the last, red he in the boke of the lawe of God. And seuen dayes helde they the feast, & on the eight daye the gatherynge together, acordynge vnto the maner.

¹² Which destroyeth the deuyces of the sotyll, so that they are not able to perfourme the thynges that they take in hode: ¹³ which compaseth ye wyse in their owne craftynesse, and ouertroweth the councell of the wicked:

¹⁸ For I am full of wordes, & the sprete that is within me, copelleth me. ¹⁹ Beholde, I am as the new wyne which hath no vente, & bursteth the new vessels in sunder.

¹ Why do the Heithe grudge? why do the people ymagyn vayne thinges? ² The kynges of the earth stode vp, and the rulers are come together, agaynst the LORDE ad agaynst his anoynted. ³ Let vs breake their bondes a sunder, and cast awaye their yocke from vs. ⁴ Neuerthelesse, he that dwelleth in heauen, shall laugh the to scorne: yee euen the LORDE himselff shall haue them in derision. ⁵ Then shal he speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore dispeasure. ⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hill of Sion.

¹⁰ Therfore they yt knowe thy name, put their trust in ye: for thou (LORDE) neuer faylest the, that seke the.

⁸ O how fredly & rightuous is the LORDE, therfore wil he teach synners in the waye. ⁹ He ledeth the symple a right, and soch as be meke the lerneth he his wayes.

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.

⁸ LORDE, I loue the habitacion of thy house, and ye place where thy honoure dwelleth.

¹⁰ The LORDE bryngeth the councell of the Heithen to naught, and turneth the deuyces of the people.

⁸ They shalbe satisfied with the pleteousnesse of thy house, and thou shalt geue them drynke of the ryuer of thy pleasures. ⁹ For by the is ye well of life, & in thy light, shall we se light.

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. ⁹ I wil preach of yi rightuousnesse in the greate congregacion: Lo, I wil not refrayne my lippes, o LORDE, & that thou knowest. ¹⁰ I do not hyde yi rightuousnes in my hert, my talkynge is of thy treuth and sauynge health: I kepe not thy louynge mercy and faithfulnesse backe from the greate congregacion.

² My teares are my meate daye and night, whyle it is daylie sayde vnto me: where is now thy God?

¹ Yf youre myndes be vpon rightuousnesse in dede, then iudge the thinge that is right, o ye sonnes of men. ² But ye ymagin myschefe in youre hertes, and youre hondes deale with wickednesse.

¹ O God, thou art my God: early wil I seke the.

¹ God be mercifull vnto vs, blesse vs, & shewe the light off his countenauce apon vs. ² Sela. That we maye knowe yi waye vpo earth, yi sauynge health amonge all Heithen.

¹⁸ Thou art gone vp an hye, thou hast led captyuite captyue, & receaued giftes for me: Yee euen for thy enemies, that they might dwell with the LORDE God.

¹⁵ Thou (o God) hast lerned me fro my youth vp vntill now, therfore wil I tell of yi wonderous workes. ¹⁶ Forsake me not (o God) in myne olde age, when I am gray headed: vntill I haue shewed thyne arme vnto childers children, & thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

⁵ The proude shalbe robbed & slepe their slepe, & ye mightie shalbe able to do nothinge with their hodes.

¹⁰ Sela. When thou punyshest one man, he must knowlege, that thou art redy to punysh other mo.

² How longe wil ye geue wroge iudgment, & accepte the personnes of the vngodly?

⁴ Thy sede wil I stablish for euer, and set vp thy Trone from one generacion to another.

²⁰ Wilt thou haue eny thinge to do with the stole of wickednesse, which ymagineth myschefe in the lawe? ²¹ They gather them together agaynst the soule of the rightuous, & condemne the innocent bloude.

² With his owne right honde and with his holy arme hath he gotten the victory. ³ The LORDE hath declared his sauynge health, and his rightuousnes hath he openly shewed in the sight of the Heithe.

¹³ Arise therfore and haue mercy vpon Sion, for it is tyme to haue mercy vpon her, yee the tyme is come.

¹⁰ With my whole herte do I seke ye, O let me not go wronge out of thy comaundemetes.

¹⁰¹ I refrayne my fete from euery euell waye, that I maye kepe thy wordes. ¹⁰² I shrenck not from thy iudgmentes, for thou teachest me.

¹¹ The LORDE hath made a faithfull ooth vnto Dauid, & he shal not shrenke from it:

⁶ I stretch forth my hondes vnto the, my soule crieth vnto the out of the thyrstie londe.

²⁰ Wy?dome crieth without, & putteth forth hir voyce in the stretes.

²³ O turne you vnto my correccion: lo, I wil expresse my mynde vnto you, and make you vnderstode my wordes. ²⁴ Seinge then that I haue called, and ye refused it: I haue stretched out my honde, and no ma regarded it, ²⁵ but all my coucels haue ye despysed, and set my correccios at naught. ²⁶ Therfore shal I also laugh in yor destruccion, and mocke you, when ye thinge that ye feare cometh vpon you: ²⁷ euen whe ye thinge that ye be afrayed of, falleth in sodenly like a storme, and yor misery like a tempest: yee wha trouble and heuynesse cometh vpon you. ²⁸ Then shal they call vpo me, but I wil not heare: they shal seke me early, but they shal not fynde me: ²⁹ And yt because they hated knowlege, and receaued not ye feare of ye LORDE, ³⁰ but abhorred my councell, and despysed my correccion. ³¹ Therfore shal they eate ye frutes of their owne waye, and be fylled wt their owne councels:

³ For yf thou criest after wy?dome, & callest for knowlege: ⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure: ⁵ The shalt thou vnderstonde ye feare of the LORDE, and fynde ye knowlege of God.

¹ Doth not wysdome crie? doth not vnderstondinge put forth hir voyce?

³ doth she not crie before the whole cite, & in the gates where men go out & in?

³⁶ But who so offendeth agaynst me, hurteth his owne soule. All they that hate me, are the louers of death.

³ She hath sent forth hir maydens to crie vpo the hyest place of the cite:

⁷ Who so reproueth a scornefull personne, getteth him self dishonoure: and he that rebuketh the vngodly, stayneth himself. ⁸ Reproue not a scorner, lest he owe the euell wil: but rebuke a wyse man, and he wil loue the.

¹¹ The mouth of a rightuous man is a well of life, but ye mouth of the vngodly is past shame, & presumptuous.

¹² A scornefull body loueth not one yt rebuketh him, nether wil he come amonge ye wyse.

¹⁵ The LORDE hateth as well him yt iustifieth ye vngodly, as him yt condempneth the innocet.

¹ Who so hath pleasure to sowe discorde, piketh a quarell in euery thinge. ² A foole hath no delyte in vnderstodinge, but only in those thinges wherin his herte reioyseth.

⁴ The wordes of a mas mouth are like depe waters, and the well of wy?dome is like a full streame.

¹³ He that geueth sentece in a matter before he heare it, is a foole, and worthy to be confounded.

²³ These are also ye saieges of ye wyse. It is not good, to haue respecte of any personne in iudgmet.

²⁷ Like as it is not good to eate to moch hony, euen so he that wyll search out hye thynges, it shal be to heuy for him.

¹ The vngodly flyeth no man chasynge him, but the rightuous stondeth stiff as a lyon.

²⁵ He that feareth men, shal haue a fall: but who so putteth his trust in the LORDE, shal come to honor.

¹ Every thinge hath a tyme, yee all that is vnder the heauen, hath is conuenient season. ² There is a tyme to be borne, and a tyme to dye. There is a tyme to plate, and a tyme to plucke vp the thinge, yt is planted: ³ A tyme to slaye, and a tyme to make whole: A tyme to breake downe, and a tyme to buylde vp: ⁴ A tyme to wepe, and a tyme to laugh: A tyme to mourne, and a tyme to daunse: ⁵ A tyme to cast awaye stones, and a tyme to gather stones together: A tyme to enbrace, & a tyme to refrayne from enbracynge: ⁶ A tyme to wynne, and a tyme to lese: A tyme to spare, and a tyme to spende: ⁷ A tyme to cutt in peces, and a tyme to sowe together: A tyme to kepe sylece, and a tyme to speake: ⁸ A tyme to loue, & a tyme to hate: A tyme of warre, and a tyme of peace. ⁹ What hath a ma els (that doth eny thinge) but weerynesse and laboure? ¹⁰ For as touchinge the trauayle and carefulnesse which God hath geuen vnto me, I se that he hath geuen it them, to be exercised in it. ¹¹ All this hath he ordened maruelous goodly, to euery thinge his due tyme. He hath plated ignoraunce also in the hertes of men, yt they shulde not fynde out ye grounde of his workes, which he doth from ye beginninge to ye ende. ¹² So I perceaued, yt in these thinges there is nothinge better for a man, the to be mery & to do well so longe as he lyueth. ¹³ For all yt a man eateth & drynketh, yee what so euer a ma enioyeth of all his labor, ye same is a gift of God. ¹⁴ I cosidered also yt what so euer God doth, it cotinueth for euer, & yt nothinge can be put vnto it ner take from it: & yt God doth it to ye intent, yt men shulde feare him. ¹⁵ The thinge yt hath bene, is now: & the thinge yt is for to come, hath bene afore tyme, for God restoreth agayne the thinge that was past.

¹ Come in to my garden o my sister, my spouse: I haue gathered my Myrre wt my spyce. I wil eate my hony and my hony cobe, I wil drynke my wyne & my mylk Eate o (ye frendes) drynke and be mery, o ye beloued.

²¹ Wo vnto them that are wyse in their owne sight, and thinke them selues to haue vnderstodinge.

²³ These gyue sentence with the vngodly for rewardes, but condemne the iust cause of the rightuous.

¹ Even like as in tyme past it hath bene well sene, that ye londe of Zabulon and the londe of Nepthali (where thorow the see waye goeth ouer Iordane in to the londe of Galilee) was at the first in litle trouble, but afterward sore vexed. ² Neuertheles ye people that haue dwelt in darcknesse, shal se a greate light. As for them that dwel in the londe of the shadowe of death, vpon them shal the light shyne.

¹ After this there shal come a rod forth of ye Kynrede of Iesse, and a blossome out of his rote.

³ and shal make him feruent in the feare of God. For he shal not geue sentece, after the thinge yt shal be brought before his eies, nether reproue a matter at the first hearinge: ⁴ but with rightousnesse shal he iudge the poore, and with holynes shal he refourme the symple of the worlde. He shal smyte ye worlde with ye staff of his mouth, & with ye breath of his mouth shal he slaye the wicked.

¹⁰ Then shal the Gentiles enquere after the rote of Iesse (which shalbe set vp for a token vnto the Gentiles) for his dwellinge shalbe glorious.

¹² And he shal set vp a toke amonge the Gentiles, and gather together ye dispersed of Israel, yee and the outcastes of Iuda from the foure corners of ye worlde.

³ Therfore with ioye shal ye drawe water out of the welles of the Sauioure,

¹² In yt tyme shal ye LORDE shute from ye swifte water of Euphrates, vnto ye ryuer of Egipte. And there shal the children be chosen out one by one. ¹³ Then shal the greate trompet be blowen, so that those which haue bene destroyed in the Assirians londe, and those that be scatred abrode in Egipte: shal come & worshipe the LORDE at Ierusale, vpo the holy mount.

¹⁴ Wherfore heare the worde of the LORDE, ye mockers that rule the LORDES people, which is at Ierusale.

¹⁴ therfore wil I also shewe vnto this people, a maruelous terrible and greate thinge (Namely this:) I wil destroye the wisdome of their wise, and the vnderstodinge of their lerned men shal perish. ¹⁵ Wo be vnto them that seke so depe, to hyde their ymaginacion before the LORDE, which rehearce their coucels in ye darknes, and saye: who seith vs, or who knoweth vs? ¹⁶ Which ymaginacion of yours is euen as when the potters claye taketh advisemet, as though the worke might saye to ye worke master: make me not, or as when an erthen vessel saieth of the potter: he vnderstondeth not. ¹⁷ Se ye not that it is hard by, that Libanus shalbe turned in to Charmel, and that Charmel shalbe taken as a wodde? ¹⁸ Then shal deaf men vnderstonde the wordes of the boke, and the eyes of the blynde shal se without eny cloude or darknes. ¹⁹ The oppressed shal holde a mery feast in the LORDE, and the poore people shal reioyse in the holy one of Israel.

²¹ soch as laboure to drawe me vnto synne: and yt disceaue him, which reproueth them in the gate, & soch as turne good personnes to vanite.

¹⁵ Vnto the tyme that ye sprete be poured vpon vs from aboue. Then shal the wildernesse be a fruteful felde & the plenteous felde shalbe rekened for a wodde.

⁸ There shalbe footpathes & comon stretes, this shalbe called the holywaye. No vnclene person shal go thorow it, for the LORDE himself shal go with the that waye, and the ignoraut shal not erre.

² Conforte Ierusalem, and tell her: that hir trauale is at an ende, that hir offence is pardoned, that she hath receaued of the LORDES honde sufficient correction for all hir synnes.

⁶ The same voyce spake: Now crie. And I sayde: what shal I crie? Then spake it: that, all flesh is grasse, and that all the bewtie therof, is as the floure of the felde.

¹⁷ When the thurstie and poore seke water & fynde none, & when their tunge is drie of thurst: I geue it them, saieth the LORDE. I the God of Israel forsake them not. ¹⁸ I bringe forth floudes in the hilles, & welles in the playne feldes. I turne ye wildernes to ryuers, and the drie londe to condytes of water.

² He shal not be an outcryer, ner an hie mynded person. His voyce shall not be herde in ye stretes. ³ A brussedrede shal he not breake, & the smokinge flax shal he not quench: but faithfully & truly shal he geue iudgmet. ⁴ He shal nether be ouersene ner haistie, that he maye restore rightuousnesse vnto the earth: & the Getiles also shal kepe his lawes.

³ For I shal poure water vpon the drie grounde, and ryuers vpon the thurstie. I shal poure my sprete vpon thi sede, and myne encrease vpo thy stocke.

¹⁰ In the begynnynge of a thinge, I shewe the ende therof: and I tel before, thinges that are not yet come to passe. With one worde is my deuyce accomplished, & fulfilleth all my pleasure.

⁶ Let it be but a smal thinge, that thou art my seruaunt, to set vp the kinreddes of Iacob, & to restore the destructio of Israel: yf I make the not also the light of the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my health vnto the ende of the worlde. ⁷ Morouer thus saieth the LORDE the aveger and holy one of Israel, because of the abhorringe and despisinge amonge the Gentiles, concernynge the seruaunt of all them yt beare rule: Kynges and prynces shal se, and arise and worshipe, because of the LORDE that he is faithfull: and because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen the.

⁷ for the LORDE God helpeth me, therfore shal I not be cofounded. I haue hardened my face like a flynt stone, for I am sure, that I shal not come to confucion. ⁸ Myne aduocate speaketh for me, who wil then go with me to lawe? Let vs stode one agaynst another: yf there be eny that wil reason with me, let him come here forth to me.

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.

¹ Come to the waters all ye, yt be thurstie, & ye that haue no moneye. Come, bye, that ye maye haue to eate. Come, bye wyne & mylck, without eny money, or moneye worth,

³ Enclyne youre eares, & come vnto me, take hede & youre soule shal lyue. For I will make an euerlastinge couenaunt with you, eue the sure mercies of Dauid.

¹ And therfore crie now, as loude as thou canst. Leaue not of, lift vp thy voyce like a tropet, and shewe my people their offences, and ye house of Iacob their synnes.

¹¹ The LORDE shal euer be thy gyde, and satisfie the desyre of thine hert, and fyl yi bones with marry. Thou shalt be like a freshwatred garden, and like the founteyne of water, that neuer leaueth runnynge.

²¹ I will make this conuenaunt with them (sayeth ye LORDE): My sprete that is come vpon the, & the wordes which I haue put in yi mouth, shal neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of ye mouth of thy childre, no ner out of ye mouth of thy childers childre, from this tyme forth for euer more.

⁵ Yf thou comest nye them, they saie: touch me not, for I am holyer then thou. All these men when I am angrie, shalbe turned to smoke and fyre, that shal burne for euer.

² Go thy waye, crie in the eares of Ierusale, & saye: Thus saieth the LORDE: I remembre the for the kyndnesse of thy youth, and because of thy stedfast loue: in that thou folowdest me thorow the wildernesse, in an vntilled londe.

⁴ Therfore I thought in my self: peraduenture they are so symple and folish, that they vnderstonde nothinge of the LORDES waye, and iudgmentes of oure God. ⁵ Therfore will I go vnto their heades and rulers, and talke with them: yf they knowe the waye of the LORDE, and the iudgmetes of oure God. But these (in like maner) haue broken the yock, and bursten the bondes in sonder.

⁶ They haue set their stole in the myddest of disceate, and (for very dissemblinge falsede) they wil not knowe me, saieth the LORDE.

⁶ For thy brethren ad thy kynred haue altogether despised the, and cried out vpon the in thine absence. Beleue them not, though they speake fayre wordes to the.

¹⁹ O LORDE, my strength, my power, and refuge in tyme off trouble. The Gentiles shall come vnto the from the endes off the worlde, and saye: Verely oure fathers haue cleued vnto lies, their Idols are but vayne and vnprofitable.

⁸ because I haue now preached longe agaynst malicious Tyranny, and shewed them off destruccion. For ye which cause they cast the worde off the LORDE in my teth, and take me euer to the worst.

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth (saieth the LORDE) that I wil rayse vp the rightuous braunch off Dauid, which shall beare rule, and discusse matters with wy?dome, and shall set vp equyte and rightuousnes agayne in the earth.

²¹ A captayne also shall come of them, and a prynce shall springe out from the myddest of them: him will I chalenge to myself, and he shall come vnto me. For what is he, that geueth ouer his herte, to come vnto me? saieth the LORDE.

³³ But this shalbe the couenaunt that I will make with the house of Israel after those dayes, saieth the LORDE: I will plante my lawe in the inwarde partes of them, and write it in their hertes, and wilbe their God, and they shalbe my people. ³⁴ And from thece forth shall no man teach his neghboure or his brother, and saye: knowe the LORDE: But they shall all knowe me, from the lowest vnto the hyest, saieth the LORDE. For I will forgeue their my?dedes, and wil neuer remembre their synnes eny more.

³⁴ And from thece forth shall no man teach his neghboure or his brother, and saye: knowe the LORDE: But they shall all knowe me, from the lowest vnto the hyest, saieth the LORDE. For I will forgeue their my?dedes, and wil neuer remembre their synnes eny more.

¹ After this he brought me agayne before the dore of the house: & beholde, there gu?shed out waters from vnder ye postes of the house eastwarde (for the house stode towarde the east) that ranne downe vpo the right syde of the house, which lyeth to the aulter south warde. ² The caried he me out to the north dore, and brought me forth there rounde aboute by the vttemost dore, yt turneth eastwarde. Beholde, there came forth the water vpon the right syde. ³ Now whan the man yt had the meterodde in his honde wente out vnto the east dore, he measured a M. cubites, & the he brought me thorow ye water, eue to the ancles: ⁴ so he measured yet a thousande, & brought me thorow ye water agayne vnto the knees: yet measured he a thousande, and brought me thorow the water vnto the loynes. ⁵ After this he measured a thousande agayne, then was it soch a ryuer, yt I might not wade thorow it: The water was so depe, that it was nedefull to haue swymmed, for it might not be waded ouer. ⁶ And he sayde vnto me: hast thou sene this, o thou sonne of man? and with that, he brought me to the ryuer banck agayne. ⁷ Now when I came there, there stode many trees vpon ether syde of the ryuer backe. ⁸ Then sayde he vnto me: This water that floweth out towarde the east, and runneth downe in to the playne felde, commeth in to the see: and from the see it runneth out, & maketh the waters whole. ⁹ Yee all that liue and moue, where vnto this ryuer commeth, shal recouer. And where this water cometh, there shalbe many fysh. For all that commeth to this water, shall be lusty and whole. ¹⁰ By this riuer shal the fy?shers stonde from Engaddi vnto En Eglaim, & there sprede out their nettes: for there shalbe greate heapes of fysh, like as in the mayne see. ¹¹ As for his claye and pyttes, they shal not be whole, for why, it shalbe occupide for salt. ¹² By this ryuer vpon both the sydes of the shore, there shall growe all maner of frutefull trees, whose leaues shall not fall of, nether shal their frute perish: but euer be rype at their monethes, for their water runneth out of the Sanctuary. His frute is good to eate, and his leaf profitable for medycine.

¹⁰ & many shalbe purified, clensed & tried. But the vngodly shall lyue wickedly, and those wicked (as many of the as they be) shal haue no vnderstondinge. As for soch as haue vnderstondinge, they shal regarde it.

¹ Heare ye worde of the LORDE, o ye children of Israel: For the LORDE must punysh the, yt dwel in the londe. And why? There is no faithfulnesse, there is no mercy, there is no knowlege of God in the lode:

⁴ They are not mynded to turne vnto their God, for they haue an whorish herte, so yt they can not knowe the LORDE.

⁶ They shall come with their shepe & bullockes to seke ye LORDE, but they shal not fynde him, for he is gone from them.

³ Then shal we haue vnderstondinge, & endeuoure oure selues to knowe the LORDE. He shal go forth as the sprynge of the daye, and come vnto vs as the euenynge and mornynge rayne vpon the earth.

³ Then shal we haue vnderstondinge, & endeuoure oure selues to knowe the LORDE. He shal go forth as the sprynge of the daye, and come vnto vs as the euenynge and mornynge rayne vpon the earth. ⁴ O Ephraim, what shal I do vnto the? O Iuda, how shal I intreate the? seynge youre loue is like a mornynge cloude, & like a dew yt goeth early awaye. ⁵ Therfore haue I cut downe the prophetes, & letten them be slayne for my wordes sake: so that thy punyshment shal come to light. ⁶ For I haue pleasure in louynge kyndnesse, and not in offerynge: Yee in the knowlege of God, more then in burntsacrifice.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: & yor sonnes & yor doughters shal prophecy: yor olde me shal dreame dreames & youre yonge men shal se visions:

¹³ Therfore the wyse must now be fayne to holde his tuge, so wicked a tyme is it.

⁷ Morouer, he shewed me this vision: beholde, the LORDE stode vpon a plastered wall, & a masons trowell in his hode. ⁸ And the LORDE sayde vnto me: Amos, what seist thou? I answered: a masons trowell. Then sayde the LORDE: beholde, I will laye the trowell amoge my people of Israel, and will nomore ouersee them: ⁹ but the hye hilchapels off Isaac must be layed waist, and the churches off Israel made desolate: and as for the house of Ieroboam, I will stonde vp agaynst it with the swerde. ¹⁰ Vpon this sent Amasias the prest to Bethel vnto Ieroboam the kinge of Israel, sayenge: Amos maketh the house off Israel to rebell agaynst the, the londe ca not awaye with his wordes. ¹¹ For Amos sayeth: Ieroboam shall dye with the swerde, and Israel shall be led awaye captyue out of their owne londe. ¹² And Amasias sayde vnto Amos: Get the hence (thou that cast se so well) and fle in to the londe of Iuda: get the there thy lyuynge, and prophecy there: ¹³ and prophecy nomore at Bethel, for it is the kynges chapel, and the kynges courte. ¹⁴ Amos answered, and sayde to Amasias: As for me, I am nether prophet, ner prophetes sonne: but a keper of catell. Now as I was breakynge downe molberies, and goynge after the catell, ¹⁵ the LORDE toke me, & sayde vnto me: Go thy waye, and prophecy vnto my people of Israel.

¹¹ Beholde, the tyme commeth (sayeth the LORDE God) yt I shal sende an huger in to ye earth: not the hunger of bred, ner the thyrst of water: but an hunger to heare the worde off the LORDE: ¹² so that they shal go from the one see to the other, yee from ye north vnto ye east, runnynge aboute to seke the worde of ye LORDE, and shal not fynde it. ¹³ In that tyme, shal the fayre virgins and the yonge men perish for thyrst,

² and the multitude off the Gentiles shal haist them thither, sayege: Come, let vs go vp to the hill of the LORDE, & to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye teach vs his waye, and that we maye walke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out off Sion, ad the worde of God from Ierusalem,

² And thou Bethleem Ephrata, art litle amonge the thousandes off Iuda, Out off the shal come one vnto me, which shall be ye gouernoure i Israel: whose outgoinge hath bene from the begynnynge, and from euerlastinge.

⁹ that thou mayest be called a cite of the LORDE, & that thy name maye be rightuousnesse. Heare (o ye trybes) who wolde els geue you soch warnynge?

⁵ Let no man beleue his frende, ner put his confidece in a prince. Kepe the porte of thy mouth, from her yt lieth in thy bosome: ⁶ for ye sonne shal put his father to dishonoure, the doughter shal ryse agaynst her mother, ye doughter in lawe agaynst hir mother in lawe: and a mans foes shalbe euen they of his owne housholde.

¹⁰ Soch as I haue subdued, and my children also whom I haue scatred abrode, shal brynge me presentes beyonde the waters of Ethiopia.

⁷ Yee I will moue all Heithen, & the comforte of all Heithen shall come, & so wil I fyll this house with honoure, saieth the LORDE of hoostes. ⁸ The syluer is myne, & the golde is myne, saieth the LORDE of hoostes. ⁹ Thus ye glory of the last house shalbe greater the the first, saieth the LORDE of hoostes: & in this place wil I geue peace, saieth the LORDE of hoostes.

¹⁵ The LORDE of hoostes shall defende the, they shall consume and deuoure, and subdue them with slynge stones. They shal drynke & rage, as it were thorow wyne. They shalbe fylled like ye basens, & as ye hornes of ye aulter.

⁸ Thre shepherdes destroyed I in one moneth, for I might not awaye wt them, nether had they eny delyte in me.

⁸ In that tyme shall there waters of life runne out from Ierusalem: the half parte of them towarde the east see, ad the other half towarde the vttemost see, and shall continue both somer and wynter.

¹⁶ Euery one that remayueth then of all ye people, which came agaynst Ierusalem, shal go vp yearly, to worshipe the kynge (euen ye LORDE of hoostes) and to kepe the feast off tabernacles. ¹⁷ And loke what generacion vpon earth goeth not vp to Ierusalem, for to worshipe the kynge (euen the LORDE of hoostes) vpon the same shal come no rayne. ¹⁸ Yff the kynred of Egipte go not vp & come not, it shall not rayne vpon them nether. This shalbe the plage wherwith ye LORDE wil smyte all Heithen, that come not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles: ¹⁹ Yee this shalbe the synneplage of Egipte and the synneplage of all people, that go not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles.

¹ Beholde, I wil sende my messaunger, which shal prepare the waye before me: and the LORDE whom ye wolde haue, shal soone come to his temple, yee euen the messaunger of the couenaunt whom ye longe for. Beholde, he commeth, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes.

⁵ I will come & punysh you, & I myself wil be a swift wytnes agaynst the witches, agaynst the aduouterers, agaynst false swearers: yee ad agaynst those, that wrogeously kepe backe the hyrelynges dewty: which vexe the wyddowes & the fatherlesse, & oppresse the straunger, and feare not me, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes.

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.

¹ This is the boke of the generacion of Iesus Christ ye sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.

⁵ And they sayde vnto hym: at Bethleem in Iury. For thus it is written by the Prophet:

⁵ And they sayde vnto hym: at Bethleem in Iury. For thus it is written by the Prophet: ⁶ And thou Bethleem in the londe of Iury, art not the leest amonge the Princes of Iuda. For out of ye shall come vnto me the captayne, that shall gouerne my people Israel.

²³ and went and dwelt in a cite called Nazareth, to fulfill yt which was spoken by the Prophetes: he shalbe called a Nazarite.

³ This is he, of whom it is spoke by ye Prophet Esay, which sayeth: The voyce of a cryer in ye wyldernes, prepare the LORDES waye, and make his pathes straight.

¹⁵ Iesus answered & sayd vnto hym: Let it be so now. For thus it be commeth vs to fulfyll all righteousnes. Then he suffred hym.

⁶ and sayde vnto hym: yf thou be ye sonne of God, cast thy sylfe downe. For it is wrytten: he shall geue his angels charge ouer the and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

¹⁵ The londe of zabulon and Neptalim, the waye of the see beyonde Iordan, and Galile of the Gentyls, ¹⁶ the people which sat in darknes, sawe a greate lyght, & to them which sat in the region & shadowe of deeth, lyght is begone to shyne.

¹ Take hede to youre almes, that ye geue it not in the syght of men, to the intent that ye wolde be sene of them: or els, ye get no rewarde of youre father which is in heauen. ² When soeuer therfore thou geuest thine almes, thou shalt not make a trompet to be blowen before the, as the ypocrites do in the synagoges and in the stretes, for to be praysed of me. Verely I saye vnto you: they haue their rewarde.

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as ye ypocrytes are. For they loue to stode and praye in the synagoges, and in the corners of the stretes, to be sene of men. Verely I saie vnto you: they haue their rewarde.

⁹ After thys maner therfore shall ye praye:O oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name.

¹⁶ Moreouer when ye fast, be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces, that they myght be sene of men to fast. Verely I saye vnto you: they haue their rewarde.

²² The eye is the light of the body. Yf thyne eye then be syngle, all thy body shalbe ful of light:

²⁸ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these saynges, the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne. ²⁹ For he taught them as one hauynge power, and not as the Scribes.

¹⁶ Beholde, I sende you forth as shepe amoge wolues. Be ye therfore wyse as serpentes, and innocent as doues.

²³ When they persecute you in one cite, flye in to another. I tell you for a treuth, ye shall not fynysshe all the cities of Israel, tyll the sonne of man come.

²⁵ It is ynough for the disciple, to be as his master, and the seruaunt as his LORDE. Yf they haue called the good ma of the house Beelzebub, how moch more shal they call them of his housholde so?

³⁵ For I am come to set a ma at variaunce ageynst his father, and the doughter ageynst hir mother, & the doughter in lawe ageynst her mother in lawe:

³ and sayde vnto him: Art thou he yt shal come, or shal we loke for another? ⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: Go youre waye and tell Ihon agayne, what ye se and heare. ⁵ The blynde se, and the lame go: the lepers are clensed, and ye deaf heare: the deed aryse ageyne, and the gospell is preached to the poore: ⁶ and blessed is he, that is not offended at me.

¹⁸ For Ihon came nether eatinge nor drynkinge, & they saye: he hath the deuyll. ¹⁹ The sonne of man came eatinge and drynkinge, & they saye: lo what a glutton and wyne bebber this ma is, and a companyon of publicans & synners? And wissdome is iustified of hir children.

²⁵ At ye same tyme Iesus answered, and sayde: I prayse the (O father and LORDE of heauen and earth) that thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and opened the vnto babes.

²⁷ All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father: and no ma knoweth the sonne, but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whom the sonne wil open it. ²⁸ Come vnto me all ye that laboure and are laden, and I wil ease you.

² When ye Pharises sawe that, they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy disciples do that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath.

⁵ Or haue ye not red in the lawe how that the prestes in the temple breake the Sabbath, and yet are blamelesse?

¹⁴ Then wente the Pharises out, and helde a councell agaynst him, how they might destroye him.

²¹ And in his name shal the Heithen trust.

²³ And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this the sonne of Dauid?

²³ And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this the sonne of Dauid? ²⁴ But whan the Pharises herde that, they sayde: He dryueth the deuyls out none other wyse, but thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuyls.

²⁴ But whan the Pharises herde that, they sayde: He dryueth the deuyls out none other wyse, but thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuyls.

⁴⁶ Whyle he yet talked vnto the people, beholde, his mother & his brethre stode without desyringe to speake wt him.

⁵⁴ and came in to his owne coutre, and taught the in their synagoges: in so moch, that they were astonnyed and sayde: Whece cometh soch wyssdome & power vnto him?

⁵⁴ and came in to his owne coutre, and taught the in their synagoges: in so moch, that they were astonnyed and sayde: Whece cometh soch wyssdome & power vnto him? ⁵⁵ Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre Iames & Ioses, and Symon and Iude? ⁵⁶ And are not all his sisters here with us? Whence hath he the all these thinges? ⁵⁷ And they were offended at him. But Iesus sayde vnto the: A prophet is nowhere lesse sett by, the at home & amonge his owne.

¹³ Then came Iesus into the coastes of the cite Cesarea Philippi, & axed his disciples & saide: Who do me saie, yt ye sonne of ma is? ¹⁴ They sayde: Some saye, yt thou art Iho the baptist, Some yt thou art Elias, Some yt thou art Ieremy, or one of ye prophetes.

¹⁴ They sayde: Some saye, yt thou art Iho the baptist, Some yt thou art Elias, Some yt thou art Ieremy, or one of ye prophetes. ¹⁵ He saide to the: But who saye ye yt I am. ¹⁶ The answered Symo Peter and saide: Thou art Christ ye sonne of ye lyuinge God.

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,

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.

⁴⁶ And they wente aboute to take him, but they feared ye people, because they helde hi for a prophet.

¹⁶ and sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes officers, and sayde: Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the waye of God truly, and carest for no ma: for thou regardest not the outwarde appearaunce of me.

¹⁶ and sent vnto him their disciples with Herodes officers, and sayde: Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the waye of God truly, and carest for no ma: for thou regardest not the outwarde appearaunce of me. ¹⁷ Tell us therfore, how thinkest thou? Is it laufulll to geue tribute vnto the Emperoure, or not?

²² When they herde that, they marueyled, and left him, & wete their waye.

³³ And whan the people herde that, they were astonnyed at his doctryne.

² and sayde: The scrybes & Pharises are set downe vpon Moses seate. ³ Therfore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and do, but after their workes shal ye not do, ⁴ for they saye & do not. For they bynde heuy and intollerable burthens, and laye them vpon mens shulders: But they them selues wil not heaue at them with one of their fyngers. ⁵ All their workes do they to be sene of men. They set abrode their Philateries, and make large borders vpon their garmentes,

¹³ Wo vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, that shut vp the kyngdome of heauen before men: Ye come not in youre selues, nether suffre ye them to enter, that wolde be in.

³⁹ For I saye vnto you: Ye shal not se me hence forth, tyll ye saye: Blessed be he, that commeth in the name of the LORDE.

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.

⁵⁵ In the same houre sayde Iesus vnto the multitude: Ye are come out as it were to a murthurer with swerdes and staues for to take me. I sat daylie teachinge in the temple amonge you, and ye toke me not.

⁶³ and saide: Syr, we haue called to remembraunce, that this disceauer sayde whyle he was yet alyue: After thre dayes I wyl ryse agayne.

⁴ And he sayde vnto the: Is it laufull to do good on the Sabbath? Or is it laufull to do euell? to saue life, or to kyll? But they helde their tonge.

⁶ And the Pharises wete out, and straight waye they helde a councell with Herodes officers agaynst him, how they might destroye him.

²¹ And when they that were aboute him herde of it, they wente out to holde him. For they sayde: he taketh to moch vpon him.

²¹ And when they that were aboute him herde of it, they wente out to holde him. For they sayde: he taketh to moch vpon him. ²² But the scrybes that were come downe from Ierusalem, sayde: He hath Belzebub, and thorow the chefe deuell casteth he out deuyls.

³⁰ For they sayde: he hath an vncleane sprete. ³¹ And there came his mother and his brethre, and stode without, and sente vnto him, and called him.

² And wha ye Sabbath came, he begane to teach in their synagoge. And many that herde it, marueled at his lernynge, and sayde: From whece hath he these thinges? And what wyssdome is this, yt is geue him: & soch actes as are done by his handes? ³ Is not this the Carpenter the sonne of Mary, and the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iude and Symon? Are not his sisters here with vs also? And they were offended at him.

³ Is not this the Carpenter the sonne of Mary, and the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iude and Symon? Are not his sisters here with vs also? And they were offended at him.

¹⁸ And the scrybes and hye prestes herde of it. And they sought how they might destroye him, but they were afrayed of him, for all the people marueled at his doctryne.

¹⁹ And the LORDE, after that he had spoken vnto them, was taken vp in to heauen, and sytteth at the right hade of God.

⁴ Then Ioseph gat him vp also fro Galile, out of the cite of Nazareth, in to Iewry, to ye cite of Dauid, which is called Bethleem, (because he was of ye house and lynage of Dauid)

¹¹ for vnto you this daye is borne ye Sauioure, eue Christ ye LORDE, in the cite of Dauid.

³² A light for the lightenynge of the Heythe, & for the prayse of yi people of Israel.

³⁹ And whan they had perfourmed all acordinge to the lawe of the LORDE, thy returned i to Galile, to their owne cite Nazareth.

⁴⁷ And all they that herde him, wodred at his vnderstondynge and answeres.

⁵¹ And he wente downe with the, and came to Nazareth, and was obediet vnto them. And his mother kepte all these wordes in hir hert.

¹⁶ Ihon answered, and sayde vnto the all: I baptyse you with water, but after me there cometh one stronger the I, whose shue lachet I am not worthy to lowse: he shal baptyse you with the holy goost and with fyre.

²² And they all gaue him wytnesse, and wodred at the gracious wordes, which proceaded out of his mouth, and they saide: Is not this Iosephs sonne?

²⁶ Wo vnto you whan euery man prayseth you, Euen so dyd their fathers vnto the false prophetes also.

⁴⁵ A good ma out of ye good treasure of his hert, bryngeth forth yt which is good: and an euell ma out of the euell treasure of his hert, bryngeth forth that which is euell. For of the abundaunce of the hert, the mouth speaketh.

¹⁶ And there came a feare on them all, and they praysed God, and sayde: A greate prophet is rysen amonge vs, and God hath vysited his people.

³⁰ But the Pharises and scrybes despysed ye councell of God against theselues, & were not baptised of hi.

¹³ But they on ye stone, are soch as whan they heare it, receaue the worde with ioye, and these haue no rote: they beleue for a whyle, and in the tyme of temptacion they fall awaye.

¹⁵ But that on the good grounde, are they that heare the worde, and kepe it in a pure good hert, and brynge forth frute in pacience.

¹⁹ There wente vnto him his mother and his brethren, and coude not come at him for the people.

²² All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father: and no man knoweth who the sonne is, but onely the father: nether who the father is, saue onely the sonne, and he to who the sonne wil open it.

³⁹ But the LORDE sayde vnto him: Now do ye Pharises make cleane the out syde of the cuppe and platter, but youre inwarde partes are full of robbery and wickednesse. ⁴⁰ Ye fooles, is a thinge made cleane within, because the outsyde is clensed? ⁴¹ Neuertheles geue almesse of that ye haue, and beholde, all is cleane vnto you. ⁴² But wo vnto you Pharises, ye that tythe mynt and rewe, and all maner herbes, and passe ouer iudgmet and ye loue of God. These ought to haue bene done, and not to leaue the other vndone. ⁴³ Wo vnto you Pharises, for ye loue to syt vppermost in the synagoges, and to be saluted in the market. ⁴⁴ Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharyses, ye ypocrites, for ye are like couered sepulcres, where ouer men walke, and are not awarre of them. ⁴⁵ Then answered one of the scrybes, and sayde vnto him: Master, with these wordes thou puttest vs to rebuke also. ⁴⁶ But he saide: And wo vnto you also ye scrybes, for ye lade men with vntollerable burthens, and ye youre selues touch them not with one of yor fyngers. ⁴⁷ Wo vnto you, for ye buylde the sepulcres of the prophetes, but youre fathers put them to death. ⁴⁸ Doutles ye beare wytnesse, and consente vnto the dedes of yor fathers: for they slewe them, and ye buylde their sepulcres. ⁴⁹ Therfore sayde the wyssdome of God: I wil sende prophetes and Apostles vnto the: and some of them shal they put to death and persecute, ⁵⁰ hat the bloude of all the prophetes which hath bene shed sens the foundacion of the worlde was layed, maye be requyred of this generacion: ⁵¹ from the bloude of Abell, vnto ye bloude of Zachary, which perished betwene the altare and ye temple. Yee I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this generacion. ⁵² Wo vnto you scrybes, for ye haue receaued ye keye of knowlege. Ye are not come in youre selues, and haue forbydden them that wolde haue bene in. ⁵³ Whan he spake thus vnto them, the scrybes and Pharyses beganne to preasse sore vpon him, and to stoppe his mouth with many questions, ⁵⁴ and layed wayte for him, and sought to hunte out some thinge out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁵¹ Thynke ye, that I am come to brynge peace vpon earth? I tell you nay, but rather debate.

²⁴ Stryue ye to entre in at the strayte gate, for many (I saye vnto you) shal seke to come in, and shal not be able. ²⁵ From that tyme forth, whan the good man of the house is rysen vp, and hath shut the dore, then shal ye begynne to stonde without, and to knocke at ye dore, and saye: LORDE LORDE, open vnto vs. And he shal answere, and saye vnto you: I knowe you not whence ye are.

³¹ Vpon the same daye there came certayne of ye Pharises, and sayde vnto him: Get the out of the waye, and departe hence, for Herode wyl kyll the. 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: ³³ for it can not be, that a prophet perishe without Ierusalem. ³⁴ O Ierusalem Ierusale, thou that kyllest the prophetes, and stonest the that are sent vnto ye, how oft wolde I haue gathered thy children together, euen as the henne gathereth hir nest vnder hir wynges, and ye wolde not? ³⁵ Beholde, yor habitacion shal be left vnto you desolate. For I saye vnto you: ye shal not se me, tyll ye tyme come that ye shal saye: blessed be he, yt cometh in ye name of the LORDE.

²² And he sayde to the disciples: The tyme shal come, wha ye shal desyre to se one daye of the sonne of man, and shal not se it. ²³ And they shal saye vnto you: Se here, Se there. Go not ye, nether folowe,

¹⁹ But Iesus sayde vnto him: Why callest thou me good? There is no man good, but God onely.

⁴⁷ And he taught daylie in the teple. But the hye prestes and the scrybes and the chefest of ye people wente aboute to destroye him,

⁴⁷ And he taught daylie in the teple. But the hye prestes and the scrybes and the chefest of ye people wente aboute to destroye him, ⁴⁸ and founde not, what to do vnto him. For all the people stacke by him, and gaue him audience.

¹⁹ And the hye prestes and scrybes wente aboute to laye handes vpon him the same houre, and they feared the people: for they perceaued, that he had spoke this symilitude agaynst them.

⁵² But Iesus sayde vnto the prestes and rulers of the temple, and to the Elders that were come vnto him: Ye are come forth as it were to a murthurer with swerdes, & with staues. ⁵³ I was daylie with you in the temple, and ye layed no handes vpon me. But this is youre houre, and the power of darknesse.

⁵³ I was daylie with you in the temple, and ye layed no handes vpon me. But this is youre houre, and the power of darknesse.

⁴⁷ But whan the Captayne sawe what had happened, he praysed God, and sayde: Verely this was a iust ma.

⁵⁰ And beholde, a ma named Ioseph, a Senatour, which was a good iust man,

⁴⁹ And beholde, I wil sende vpon you the promes of my father: but ye shal tary in the cite of Ierusalem, tyll ye be endewed with power from aboue.

¹¹ He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not. ¹² But as many as receaued him, to them gaue he power to be the children of God: euen soch as beleue in his name. ¹³ Which are not borne of bloude, ner of the wyl of the flesh, ner of the wyl of man, but of God.

¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared the same vnto vs. ¹⁹ And this is the recorde of Ihon, whan the Iewes sent prestes and Leuites fro Ierusalem, to axe him: Who art thou?

²¹ And they axed him: What the? Art thou Elias? He sayde: I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he answered: No.

²³ He sayde: I am ye voyce of a cryer in the wyldernesse. Make straight ye waye of the LORDE. As ye prophet Esay sayde:

²⁵ And they axed him, & sayde vnto him: Why baptysest thou then, yf thou be not Christ, ner Elias, ner a prophet?

³³ & I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptyse with water, ye same sayde vnto me: Vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him, the same is he, that baptyseth with the holy goost.

⁴¹ the same founde first his brother Symon, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde Messias (which is by interpretacion, ye Anoynted)

⁴⁶ And Nathanaell sayde vnto him: What good can come out of Nazareth? Philippe sayde vnto him: Come, and se.

⁴⁶ And Nathanaell sayde vnto him: What good can come out of Nazareth? Philippe sayde vnto him: Come, and se. ⁴⁷ Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, and sayde of him: Beholde, a righte Israelite, in whom is no gyle. ⁴⁸ Nathanael sayde vnto him: From whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Before yt Philippe called the, whan thou wast vnder the fygge tre, I sawe the. ⁴⁹ Nathanaell answered, and sayde vnto hi: Rabbi, thou art ye sonne of God, thou art ye kynge of Israel.

⁴⁹ Nathanaell answered, and sayde vnto hi: Rabbi, thou art ye sonne of God, thou art ye kynge of Israel.

⁴ Iesus sayde vnto her: Woma, what haue I to do wt the? Myne houre is not yet come.

¹¹ This is the first token that Iesus dyd at Cana in Galile, and shewed his glory, and his disciples beleued on him.

²³ Wha he was at Ierusale at Easter in ye feast, many beleued on his name, whan they sawe ye tokes yt he dyd. ²⁴ But Iesus comytted not himself vnto the, for he knewe the all,

¹ There was a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus a ruler amoge the Iewes. ² The same came vnto Iesus by night, & sayde vnto hi: Master, we knowe yt thou art come a teacher fro God: for no ma can do these tokes yt thou doest, excepte God be with him.

² The same came vnto Iesus by night, & sayde vnto hi: Master, we knowe yt thou art come a teacher fro God: for no ma can do these tokes yt thou doest, excepte God be with him.

⁴ Nicodemus sayde vnto him: How can a man be borne, whan he is olde? Can he entre into his mothers wombe, and be borne agayne?

⁹ Nicodemus answered, and sayde vnto him: How maye these be?

¹¹ Verely I saye vnto ye: We speake that we knowe, and testifie that we haue sene, and ye receaue not oure wytnesse.

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 For God sent not his sonne in to ye worlde to condempne the worlde, but that the worlde might be saued by him.

¹⁹ But this is ye codempnacion, that the light is come in to the worlde, and men loued the darknesse more the ye light: for their workes were euell.

²⁶ and they came vnto Ihon, and sayde vnto him: Master, he yt was with the beyonde Iordan, of whom thou barest wytnesse, beholde, he baptyseth, and euery man cometh vnto him. ²⁷ Ihon answered and sayde: A man can receaue nothinge, excepte it be geuen him from heaue. ²⁸ Ye youreselues are my witnesses, how that I sayde, I am not Christ, but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome: but the frende of the brydegrome stondeth, and herkeneth vnto him, and reioyseth greatly ouer the voyce of the brydegrome, this same ioye of myne is now fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increace, but I must decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all. He that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth. He that commeth fro heauen, is aboue all,

³³ But he that receaueth it, hath set to his seale, that God is true.

³ he left the londe of Iewry, and departed agayne in to Galile.

¹⁰ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto her: Yf thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that sayeth vnto the, geue me drynke, thou woldest axe of him, and he wolde geue the, the water of life.

¹⁴ But whosoeuer shal drynke of the water that I shal geue him, shal neuer be more a thyrst: but the water that I shal geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, which spryngeth vp in to euerlastinge life.

²⁵ The woma sayde vnto him: I wote that Messias shal come, which is called Christ. Whan he commeth, he shal tell vs all thinges.

²⁹ Come, se a man, which hath tolde me all that euer I dyd, Is not he Christ?

³⁹ Many Samaritans of the same cite beleued on him, for the sayenge of the woman, which testified: He hath tolde me all that euer I dyd.

⁴² and sayde vnto the woman: We beleue now hence forth, not because of thy sayenge, we haue herde him oureselues, and knowe, that this of a trueth is Christ the Sauioure of the worlde.

⁵⁴ This is now the seconde token that Iesus dyd, whan he came from Iewry in to Galile.

² There is at Ierusalem by the slaughter house a pole, which in Hebrue is called Bethseda, & hath fyue porches, ³ wherin laye many sicke, blynde, lame, wythred, which wayted, whan the water shulde moue. ⁴ For the angell wente downe at his tyme in to the pole, and stered the water. Who so euer now wente downe first, after that the water was stered, ye same was made whole, what soeuer disease he had. ⁵ And there was a man, which had lyen sicke eight and thirtie yeares. ⁶ Whan Iesus sawe him lye, & knewe that he had lyen so longe, he saide vnto him: Wilt thou be made whole? ⁷ The sicke answered him: Syr, I haue no man, whan the water is moued, to put me in to the pole. And whan I come, another steppeth downe in before me. ⁸ Iesus sayde vnto him: Aryse, take vp thy bed, and go thy waye.

⁸ Iesus sayde vnto him: Aryse, take vp thy bed, and go thy waye. ⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp his bed and wente his waye. But vpon the same daye it was the Sabbath.

⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp his bed and wente his waye. But vpon the same daye it was the Sabbath. ¹⁰ Then sayde the Iewes vnto him that was made whole: To daye is ye Sabbath, it is not laufull for the to cary the bed. ¹¹ He answered them: He that made me whole, sayde vnto me: Take vp thy bed, and go yi waye.

¹⁴ Afterwarde founde Iesus him in the teple, and sayde vnto him: Beholde, thou art made whole, synne no more, lest a worse thinge happen vnto the.

¹⁴ Afterwarde founde Iesus him in the teple, and sayde vnto him: Beholde, thou art made whole, synne no more, lest a worse thinge happen vnto the. ¹⁵ The ma departed, and tolde the Iewes, that it was Iesus, which had made hi whole. ¹⁶ Therfore dyd ye Iewes persecute Iesus, and sought to slaye him, because he had done this vpo ye Sabbath.

¹⁶ Therfore dyd ye Iewes persecute Iesus, and sought to slaye him, because he had done this vpo ye Sabbath.

¹⁶ Therfore dyd ye Iewes persecute Iesus, and sought to slaye him, because he had done this vpo ye Sabbath. ¹⁷ But Iesus answered them: My father worketh hither to, and I worke also. ¹⁸ Therfore sought the Iewes the more to slaye hi: because he brake not onely ye Sabbath, but saide also, that God was his father, and made him self equall with God.

¹⁸ Therfore sought the Iewes the more to slaye hi: because he brake not onely ye Sabbath, but saide also, that God was his father, and made him self equall with God.

²³ that they all might honoure the sonne, euen as they honoure ye father. Who so honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father, which hath sent him. ²⁴ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Who so heareth my worde, and beleueth him that sent me, hath euerlastinge life, and cometh not in to damnacion, but is passed thorow from death vnto life.

³⁰ I can do nothinge of my self. As I heare, so I iudge: & my iudgmet is iust. For I seke not myne owne wyll, but the wyll of the father which hath sent me.

³² There is another that beareth wytnesse of me, and I am sure, that the wytnesse which he beareth of me, is true.

⁴⁰ and ye wil not come vnto me, that ye might haue life. ⁴¹ I receaue not prayse of men.

⁴³ I am come in my fathers name, and ye receaue me not. Yf another shal come in his awne name, him wil ye receaue.

⁴⁵ Ye shall not thynke that I wyll accuse you before ye father: there is one yt accuseth you, euen Moses, in who ye trust.

² And moch people folowed him, because they sawe the tokens that he dyd vpon the which were diseased.

¹⁴ Now whan the men sawe the token yt Iesus dyd, they saide: This is of a trueth the Prophet, yt shulde come into the worlde.

¹⁴ Now whan the men sawe the token yt Iesus dyd, they saide: This is of a trueth the Prophet, yt shulde come into the worlde. ¹⁵ Whan Iesus now perceaued that they wolde come, and take him vp, to make him kynge, he gat him awaye agayne in to a mountayne himself alone.

³⁵ But Iesus sayde vnto the: I am yt bred of life. He that cometh vnto me, shal not huger: & he that beleueth on me, shal neuer thyrst.

³⁷ All that my father geueth me, cometh vnto me: and who so cometh vnto me, him wyl not I cast out: ³⁸ for I am come downe from heaue, not to do myne awne wyll, but the wyll of him that hath sent me. ³⁹ This is ye will of the father, which hath sent me, that of all that he hath geue me, I shulde lose nothinge, but shulde rayse it vp agayne at the last daye. ⁴⁰ This is the wyl of him which hath sent me, that, who soeuer seyth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlastinge life, and I shal rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁴¹ The murmured the Iewes ther ouer, that he sayde: I am yt bred which is come downe from heaue, ⁴² and they sayde: Is not this Iesus, Iosephs sonne, whose father and mother we knowe? How sayeth he then, I am come downe from heauen?

⁴⁴ No man can come vnto me, excepte the father which hath sent me, drawe him. And I shal rayse him vp at the last daye.

⁴⁶ Not that eny man hath sene the father, saue he which is of the father, the same hath sene the father.

⁵² Then stroue the Iewes amonge them selues, and sayde: How ca this folowe geue vs his flesh to eate?

⁵⁵ For my flesh is ye very meate, and my bloude is ye very drynke.

⁶⁰ Many now of his disciples that herde this, sayde: This is an harde sayenge, who maye abyde the hearynge of it?

⁶⁹ and we haue beleued & knowne, that thou art Christ the sonne of the lyuynge God.

¹ After that wente Iesus aboute in Galile, for he wolde not go aboute in Iewry, because the Iewes sought to kyll him. ² But the Iewes feast of Tabernacles was at hande. ³ Then sayde his brethren vnto him: Get the hece, and go into Iewry, that thy disciples also maye se thy workes, that thou doest.

⁵ For his awne brethren also beleued not in him. ⁶ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: My tyme is not yet come, but youre tyme is allwaye ready.

⁸ Go ye vp vnto this feast, I wyll not go vp yet vnto this feast, for my tyme is not yet fulfylled.

¹⁰ But as soone as his brethren were gone vp, then wente he vp also vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were secretly.

¹⁰ But as soone as his brethren were gone vp, then wente he vp also vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were secretly. ¹¹ Then sought him ye Iewes at ye feast, and sayde: Where is he? ¹² And there was a greate murmur of him amonge the people. Some sayde: He is good. But other sayde: No, he doth but disceaue the people.

¹⁴ But in the myddes of the feast wete Iesus vp in to the temple, and taught. ¹⁵ And the Iewes marueyled and sayde: How can he ye scrypture, seynge he hath not lerned it?

¹⁹ Hath not Moses geuen you the lawe? and none of you kepeth the lawe? Why go ye aboute to kyll me?

²³ Yf a man receaue circucision vpon the Sabbath, that the lawe of Moses shulde not be broken, dissdayne ye then at me, because I haue made a ma euery whyt whole on the Sabbath?

²⁵ Then sayde some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he, who they go aboute to kyll?

²⁵ Then sayde some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he, who they go aboute to kyll? ²⁶ And beholde, he speaketh boldely, and they saye nothinge to him. Do oure rulers knowe in dede, that he is very Christ?

²⁶ And beholde, he speaketh boldely, and they saye nothinge to him. Do oure rulers knowe in dede, that he is very Christ? ²⁷ Howbeyt we knowe, whence this is. But wha Christ commeth, no man shal knowe whence he is.

²⁷ Howbeyt we knowe, whence this is. But wha Christ commeth, no man shal knowe whence he is. ²⁸ Then cryed Iesus in the temple as he taught, and sayde: Yee ye knowe me, and whence I am ye knowe, and of my self am I not come, but he yt sent me, is true, whom ye knowe not.

³⁰ Then sought they to take him, but no mam layed handes vpon him, for his houre was not yet come. ³¹ But many of the people beleued on him, and sayde: Whan Christ commeth, shall he do mo tokens, then this doth? ³² And it came to the Pharises eares, that ye people murmured soch thinges of him. And the Pharises and hye prestes sent out seruauntes, to take him.

³⁴ Ye shal seke me, & not fynde me: and where I am, thither can ye not come.

³⁷ But in the last daye which was ye most solempne daye of the feast, Iesus stode vp, cried, and sayde: Who so thyrsteth, let him come vnto me, and drynke.

⁴⁰ Many of the people now whan they herde this sayenge, sayde: This is a very prophet. ⁴¹ Other sayde: He is Christ. But some sayde: Shal Christ come out of Galile?

⁴¹ Other sayde: He is Christ. But some sayde: Shal Christ come out of Galile?

⁴¹ Other sayde: He is Christ. But some sayde: Shal Christ come out of Galile? ⁴² Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shal come of the sede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethleem, where Dauid was?

⁴² Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shal come of the sede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethleem, where Dauid was? ⁴³ Thus was there discencion amonge the people for his sake. ⁴⁴ Some of them wolde haue taken him, but no man layed handes on him. ⁴⁵ The seruauntes came to the hye prestes and pharises, and they sayde vnto them: Why haue ye not brought him?

⁴⁵ The seruauntes came to the hye prestes and pharises, and they sayde vnto them: Why haue ye not brought him? ⁴⁶ The seruauntes answered: Neuer ma spake as this man doth.

⁴⁶ The seruauntes answered: Neuer ma spake as this man doth.

⁴⁶ The seruauntes answered: Neuer ma spake as this man doth. ⁴⁷ Then answered them the pharises: Are ye also disceaued?

⁴⁷ Then answered them the pharises: Are ye also disceaued? ⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or pharises beleue on him?

⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or pharises beleue on him? ⁴⁹ But the comon people which knowe not the lawe, are cursed. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayde vnto them, he that came to him by night, which was one of them:

⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayde vnto them, he that came to him by night, which was one of them: ⁵¹ Doth oure lawe iudge eny man, before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done? ⁵² They answered and sayde vnto him? Art thou a Galilean also? Searche and loke, out of Galile aryseth no prophet.

⁵² They answered and sayde vnto him? Art thou a Galilean also? Searche and loke, out of Galile aryseth no prophet. ⁵³ And so euery man wente home.

² and early in the mornynge came he agayne in to the temple, and all the people came vnto him. And he sat downe, and taught them.

¹⁴ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of my self, yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whence I came, and whither I go: but ye can not tell whence I come, and whither I go. ¹⁵ Ye iudge after the flesh, I iudge no man: ¹⁶ but yf I iudge, my iudgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the father that hath sent me.

¹⁹ Then sayde they vnto him: Where is thy father? Iesus answered: Ye nether knowe me ner yet my father.Yf ye knewe me, ye shulde knowe my father also. ²⁰ These wordes spake Iesus vpon the Godschest, as he taught in the teple. And noman toke him, for his houre was not yet come. ²¹ Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them: I go my waye, and ye shal seke me, and shal dye in youre synnes: whither I go, thither can not ye come. ²² Then sayde ye Iewes: Wyl he kyll him self then, that he sayeth: whither I go, thither can not ye come?

²² Then sayde ye Iewes: Wyl he kyll him self then, that he sayeth: whither I go, thither can not ye come? ²³ And he sayde vnto them: Ye are from beneth, I am from aboue: Ye are of this worlde, I am not of this worlde. ²⁴ Therfore haue I sayde vnto you, that ye shal dye in youre synnes. For yf ye beleue not that I am he, ye shal dye in youre synnes.

²⁶ I haue many thinges to saye and to iudge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and loke what I haue herde of him,that speake I before the worlde,

²⁸ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: Whan ye haue lift vp an hye the sonne of man, then shal ye knowe that I am he, and that I do nothinge of my self: but as my father hath taught me, euen so I speake.

³⁰ Whan he thus spake, many beleued on him. Then sayde Iesus vnto the Iewes, that beleued on him:

³⁰ Whan he thus spake, many beleued on him. Then sayde Iesus vnto the Iewes, that beleued on him: ³¹ Yf ye contynue in my worde, then are ye my very disciples, ³² and ye shall knowe the trueth, and the trueth shal make you fre.

³⁷ I knowe that ye are Abrahams sede, but ye seke to kyll me. For my worde taketh not amonge you.

⁴⁰ But now ye go aboute to kyll me, a man, that haue tolde you the trueth, which I haue herde of God, this dyd not Abraham.

⁴² Iesus sayde vnto them: Yf God were youre father, then wolde ye loue me. For I am proceaded forth, and come from God. For I am not come of my self, but he hath sent me. ⁴³ Why knowe ye not the my speach? Eue because ye can not abyde the hearinge of my worde.

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth Gods worde. Therfore heare ye not, because ye are not of God. ⁴⁸ Then answered the Iewes, and sayde vnto him: Saye we not right, that thou art a Samaritane, and hast the deuell? ⁴⁹ Iesus answered: I haue no deuell, but I honoure my father, and ye haue dishonoured me. ⁵⁰ I seke not myne awne prayse, but there is one that seketh it, and iudgeth.

⁵² Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: Now knowe me, that thou hast the deuell. Abraham is deed and the prophetes, and thou sayest: Yf eny ma kepe my worde, he shal neuer taist of death.

⁵⁴ Iesus answered: Yf I prayse myself, then is my prayse nothinge. But it is my father that prayseth me, which ye saye is youre God,

⁵⁴ Iesus answered: Yf I prayse myself, then is my prayse nothinge. But it is my father that prayseth me, which ye saye is youre God, ⁵⁵ and ye knowe hi not: but I knowe him. And yf I shulde saye, I knowe him not, I shulde be a lyar, like vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his worde.

⁵⁵ and ye knowe hi not: but I knowe him. And yf I shulde saye, I knowe him not, I shulde be a lyar, like vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his worde.

⁵⁹ Then toke they vp stones, to cast at him. But Iesus hyd himself, and wente out of the temple.

⁴ I must worke the workes of him that hath sent me, whyle it is daye. The night commeth, whan no man can worke.

¹⁶ Then sayde some of the pharises: This man is not of God, seynge he kepeth not ye Sabbath. But the other sayde: How can a synfull man do soch tokens? And there was a stryfe amonge the.

²² This sayde his elders, because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred allready, that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ, the same shulde be excomunicate.

²⁷ He answered them: I tolde you right now. Herde ye it not? What, wil ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples? ²⁸ Then rayted they him, and sayde: Thou art his disciple.

²⁸ Then rayted they him, and sayde: Thou art his disciple. ²⁹ We are sure that God spake wt Moses: As for this felowe, we know not whece he is.

²⁹ We are sure that God spake wt Moses: As for this felowe, we know not whece he is.

²⁹ We are sure that God spake wt Moses: As for this felowe, we know not whece he is. ³⁰ The man answered, and sayde vnto the: This is a maruelous thinge, that ye wote not whence he is, and he hath opened mine eyes. ³¹ For we knowe that God heareth not ye sinners: but yf eny ma be a fearer of God, and doth his will, him heareth he. ³² Sens ye worlde beganne was it not herde, that eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynde. ³³ Yf this man were not of God, he coulde haue done nothinge. ³⁴ They answered, and sayde vnto him: Thou art alltogether borne in synne, and teachest thou vs? And they thrust him out.

³⁴ They answered, and sayde vnto him: Thou art alltogether borne in synne, and teachest thou vs? And they thrust him out.

⁴⁰ And some of the Pharises yt were with him, herde this, and sayde vnto him: Are we then blynde also?

¹⁵ Eue as my father knoweth me, and I knowe ye father. And I geue my life for my shepe.

¹⁹ Then was there discension amoge the Iewes for these sayenges.

¹⁹ Then was there discension amoge the Iewes for these sayenges. ²⁰ Many of the sayde: He hath the deuell, and is madd, why heare ye him?

²⁰ Many of the sayde: He hath the deuell, and is madd, why heare ye him? ²¹ Other sayde: These are not wordes of one that is possessed. Can the deuell also open ye eyes of the blynde?

³¹ Then the Iewes toke vp stones agayne, to stone him.

³¹ Then the Iewes toke vp stones agayne, to stone him. ³² Iesus answered the: Many good workes haue I shewed you fro my father, for which of the stone ye me?

³⁶ saye ye the vnto hi, who ye father hath sanctified & sent in to ye worlde: thou blasphemest God, because I sayde: I am ye sonne of God?

³⁹ They wente aboute agayne to take him, but he escaped out of their hades,

³⁹ They wente aboute agayne to take him, but he escaped out of their hades, ⁴⁰ and wete awaye agayne beyode Iordane, into ye place where Iho had baptysed before, & there he abode. ⁴¹ And many came to hi, and sayde: Iho dyd no tokes, but all yt Ihon spake of this man, is true. ⁴² And many beleued on him there.

⁴ Wha Iesus herde that, he sayde: This sicknesse is not vnto death, but for the prayse of God, yt the sonne of God maye be praysed there thorow.

⁶ Now wha he herde that he was sicke, he abode two dayes in ye place where he was. ⁷ Afterwarde sayde he vnto his disciples: Let vs go agayne i to Iewry.

⁹ Iesus answered: Are there not twolue houres in ye daye? He yt walketh in the daye, stombleth not, for he seyeth ye light of this worlde. ¹⁰ But he that walketh in the night, stobleth: for there is no light in him.

⁴⁵ Many now of ye Iewes which mere come vnto Mary, and sawe what Iesus dyd, beleued on him.

⁴⁷ Then the hye prestes, and the pharises gathered a councell, and sayde: What do we? This man doth many tokens.

⁴⁷ Then the hye prestes, and the pharises gathered a councell, and sayde: What do we? This man doth many tokens. ⁴⁸ Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people.

⁴⁸ Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people. ⁴⁹ But one of them, named Caiphas, which was hye prest that same yeare, sayde vnto them: Ye knowe nothinge nether considre ye eny thinge at all. ⁵⁰ It is better for us that one ma dye for the people, then that all the people shulde perishe. ⁵¹ This spake he not of himself, but for so moch as he was hye prest of the same yeare, he prophecied. For Iesus was for to dye for the people, ⁵² and not for the people onely, but that he shulde gather together the children of God, which were scatered abrode: ⁵³ From that daye forth they toke coucell, how they might put him to death.

⁵³ From that daye forth they toke coucell, how they might put him to death.

⁵³ From that daye forth they toke coucell, how they might put him to death. ⁵⁴ Iesus walked nomore openly amonge the Iewes, but wente from thence in to a countre by the wyldernesse, to a cite called Ephraim, & there had he his beynge with his disciples.

⁵⁴ Iesus walked nomore openly amonge the Iewes, but wente from thence in to a countre by the wyldernesse, to a cite called Ephraim, & there had he his beynge with his disciples.

⁵⁶ Then stode they vp, and axed after Iesus, and spake amonge them selues in the temple: What thynke ye, that he cometh not to ye feast? ⁵⁷ The hye prestes & pharises had geuen a commaundement, that yf eny man knewe where he were, he shulde shewe it, that they might take him.

¹¹ because yt for his sake many of the Iewes wete awaye and beleued on Iesus.

¹⁶ Neuertheles his disciples vnderstode not these thinges at the first, but whan Iesus was glorified, then remebred they that soch thinges were wrytte of him, and that they had done soch thinges vnto him.

¹⁹ But the pharises sayde amonge them selues: Ye se, that we preuayle nothinge, beholde, all ye worlde runneth after him. ²⁰ There were certayne Grekes (amonge the that were come vp to Ierusale to worshipe at the feast)

²³ Iesus answered the, and sayde: The houre is come, that the sonne of man must be glorified.

²⁸ Father, glorifye thy name. Then came there a voyce from heauen: I haue glorified it, and wyl glorifye it agayne.

³⁴ Then answered him the people: We haue herde in the lawe, that Christ endureth for euer: and how sayest thou then, that the sonne of man must be lift vp? Who is this sonne of man? ³⁵ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: The light is yet a litle whyle with you, walke whyle ye haue the light, that the darknesse fall not vpo you. He that walketh in the darknesse, woteth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ Beleue ye on the light, whyle ye haue it, that ye maye be the children of light. These thinges spake Iesus, and departed awaye, and hyd himself from them.

⁴² Neuertheles many of the chefe rulers beleued on him, but because of the Pharises they wolde not be aknowne of it, lest they shulde be excommunicate,

⁴² Neuertheles many of the chefe rulers beleued on him, but because of the Pharises they wolde not be aknowne of it, lest they shulde be excommunicate, ⁴³ For they loued more the prayse with men, then with God.

⁴⁹ For I haue not spoken of my self: but the father that sent me, hath geuen me a commaundement, what I shulde do and saye.

⁴⁹ For I haue not spoken of my self: but the father that sent me, hath geuen me a commaundement, what I shulde do and saye. ⁵⁰ And I knowe that his commaundement is life euerlastinge. Therfore loke what I speake, that speake I eue so, as the father hath sayde vnto me.

¹ Before the feast of Easter whan Iesus knewe that his tyme was come, that he shulde departe out of this worlde vnto ye father, as he loued his which were in the worlde, euen so loued he them vnto the ende.

³ Iesus knowinge that the father had geuen all thinges in to his handes, & that he was come from God, and wente vnto God,

³¹ Whan he was gone forth, Iesus sayde: Now is the sonne of ma glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² Yf God be glorified in him, the shal god glorifie him also in hiself, & straight waye shal he glorifye him. ³³ Deare childre, I am yet a litle whyle with you. Ye shal seke me, and (as I sayde vnto ye Iewes) whither I go, thither can ye not come. And now I saye vnto you,

³³ Deare childre, I am yet a litle whyle with you. Ye shal seke me, and (as I sayde vnto ye Iewes) whither I go, thither can ye not come. And now I saye vnto you, ³⁴ A new comaundemet geue I you, that ye loue together as I haue loued you, yt euen so ye loue one another. ³⁵ By this shal euery man knowe that ye are my disciples, yf ye haue loue one to another. ³⁶ Symon Peter sayde vnto him: LORDE, whither goest thou? Iesus answered him: Whither I go, thou canst not folowe me now, but thou shalt folowe me herafter.

³ And though I go to prepare the place for you, yet wil I come agayne, and receaue you vnto myself, yt ye maye be where I am.

⁶ Iesus sayde vnto him: I am the waye, and the trueth, and the life. Noman cometh to the father but by me.

¹⁰ Beleuest thou not that I am in the father, and that ye father is in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, those speake not I of my self: but the father that dwelleth in me, he doth the workes.

¹³ And what soeuer ye axe ye father in my name, that wyl I do, that the father maye be praysed in the sonne.

¹⁶ And I wyl praye the father, and he shal geue you another comforter, that he maye byde wt you for euer: ¹⁷ euen ye sprete of trueth, whom ye worlde can not receaue, for it seyth him not, nether doth it knowe him: but ye knowe him, for he abydeth wt you, & shalbe in you

¹⁹ It is yet a litle whyle, the shal the worlde se me nomore, but ye shal se me: for I lyue, and ye shal lyue also.

²⁴ But he that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayenges. And the worde that ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which hath sent me.

²⁶ But that comforter euen ye holy goost, who my father shal sende in my name, he shal teache you all thinges, & bringe all to youre remembraunce, what soeuer I haue tolde you.

³¹ But that the worlde maye knowe that I loue ye father. And as the father hath comaunded me, so do I. Aryse, let vs go hence.

¹⁸ Yf the worlde hate you, then knowe, that it hath hated me before you. ¹⁹ Yf ye were of the worlde, the worlde wolde loue his awne. Howbeit because ye are not of the worlde, but I haue chosen you from the worlde, therfore the worlde hateth you.

²³ He yt hateth me, hateth my father also. ²⁴ Yf I had not done amoge the the workes which no other ma dyd, they shulde haue no synne. But now haue they sene it, and yet haue they hated both me & my father. ²⁵ Neuertheles that the sayenge might be fulfilled, which is wrytten in their lawe: They haue hated me without a cause.

³ And soch thinges shal they do vnto you, because they haue nether knowne ye father ner yet me.

⁵ But now I go vnto him that sent me, & none of you axeth me: Whither goest thou?

⁷ Neuertheles I tell you the trueth, It is better for you yt I go awaye: For yf I go not awaye that comforter commeth not vnto you: but yf I departe, I wil sende hi vnto you.

¹⁰ Of righteousnes, because I go to the father, and ye shal se me nomore.

¹⁶ After a litle whyle, and ye shal not se me: and agayne after a litle whyle, and ye shal se me: for I go to the father. ¹⁷ The saide some of his disciples amonge themselues: What is this that he sayeth vnto vs, After a litle whyle, and ye shal not se me: & agayne after a litle whyle, & ye shal se me: for I go to the father?

¹⁷ The saide some of his disciples amonge themselues: What is this that he sayeth vnto vs, After a litle whyle, and ye shal not se me: & agayne after a litle whyle, & ye shal se me: for I go to the father? ¹⁸ Then sayde they: What is this, that he sayeth: After a litle whyle? We can not tell what he sayeth.

¹⁸ Then sayde they: What is this, that he sayeth: After a litle whyle? We can not tell what he sayeth. ¹⁹ Then perceaued Iesus that they wolde axe him, and he sayde vnto them: Ye enquyre of this amonge youre selues, that I sayde: After a litle whyle, and ye shal not se me: & agayne after a litle whyle, and ye shal se me. ²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Ye shal wepe and lamente, but the worlde shal reioyse: Ye shal be sory, but youre sorowe shal be turned in to ioye. ²¹ A woman whan she trauayleth, hath sorowe, for hir houre is come. But whan she is delyuered of the childe, she thinketh nomore of the anguyshe, for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde. ²² And now haue ye sorowe also: but I wil se you agayne, and youre hert shal reioyse, and youre ioye shal noman take from you.

²⁷ for the father himself loueth you, because ye haue loued me, & beleued that I am come out from God. ²⁸ I wente out from the father, and came in to the worlde: Agayne, I leaue ye worlde, and go to the father.

²⁸ I wente out from the father, and came in to the worlde: Agayne, I leaue ye worlde, and go to the father.

¹ These thinges spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes towarde heauen, and sayde: Father, the houre is come, that thou glorifye thy sonne, that thy sonne also maye glorifye the.

³ But this is the life euerlastinge, that they knowe the (that thou onely art the true God) and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ. ⁴ I haue glorified ye vpo earth, & fynished ye worke, yt thou gauest me to do. ⁵ And now glorifye me thou father by thine awne self, with ye glory which I had or euer the worlde was.

⁵ And now glorifye me thou father by thine awne self, with ye glory which I had or euer the worlde was.

⁸ For ye wordes which thou gauest me, haue I geue vnto them, and they haue receaued them, & knowne of a trueth, that I am come forth from the, and haue beleued, that thou hast sent me.

¹¹ And now am I nomore in the worlde, and they are in ye worlde, and I come to the. Holy father, kepe in thy name, those whom thou hast geue me, that they maye be one, like as we are.

¹³ But now come I vnto the, and this I speake in the worlde, that they maye haue my ioye perfecte in them. ¹⁴ I haue geuen them thy worde, and the worlde hateth the: for they are not of the worlde, euen as I also am not of the worlde.

¹⁸ Like as thou hast sent me in to the worlde, so haue I sent them in to the worlde:

²⁴ Father, I wil, that they whom thou hast geuen me, be with me where I am, yt they maye se my glory, which thou hast geue me: for thou hast loued me, or euer ye worlde was made. ²⁵ Righteous father, the worlde hath not knowne ye, but I haue knowne ye: and these haue knowne, that thou hast sent me.

²⁵ Righteous father, the worlde hath not knowne ye, but I haue knowne ye: and these haue knowne, that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I haue declared thy name vnto them, & wyl declare it, yt the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in the, & I in them.

³ Now whan Iudas had take vnto him the copany, & mynisters of the hye prestes and Pharises, he came thither with creshettes, wt lanternes, and with weapens.

⁵ They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed him, stode with the. ⁶ Now whan Iesus sayde vnto the: I am he, they wete bacwardes, and fell to the grounde.

²⁰ Iesus answered him: I haue spoken openly before the worlde, I haue euer taught in the synagoge and in the teple, whither all the Iewes resorted, & in secrete haue I spoke nothinge.

³⁸ After that, Ioseph of Arimathia, which was a disciple of Iesus (but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate, yt he might take downe the body of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him lycence. ³⁹ There came also Nicodemus, (which afore came vnto Iesus by night) & brought of Myrre & Aloes mingled together, aboute an hudreth poude weight.

¹⁹ The same Sabbath at eue wha ye disciples were gathered together, and the dores were shut for feare of ye Iewes, came Iesus, and stode i ye myddes, & sayde vnto the: Peace be wt you.

²² And whan he had sayde yt, he brethed vpo the, and sayde vnto the: Receaue the holy goost.

⁴ And whan he had gathered them together, he commaunded them that they shulde not departe from Ierusalem, but to wayte for the promyse of the father, wherof (sayde he) ye haue herde of me: ⁵ For Ihon baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed wt ye holy goost, & that within this few dayes. ⁶ Now whan they were come together, they axed him, and sayde: LORDE, shalt thou at this tyme set vp the kyngdome of Israel agayne? ⁷ But he sayde vnto them: It belongeth not vnto you to knowe the tymes or seasons, which the father hath kepte in his awne power,

⁷ But he sayde vnto them: It belongeth not vnto you to knowe the tymes or seasons, which the father hath kepte in his awne power, ⁸ but ye shal receaue the power of ye holy goost, which shal come vpon you, and ye shalbe my witnesses at Ierusalem, and in all Iewrye and Samaria, and vnto the ende of the earth.

⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost. And they beganne to preach with other tunges, euen as the sprete gaue them vtteraunce.

⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost. And they beganne to preach with other tunges, euen as the sprete gaue them vtteraunce. ⁵ There were dwellinge at Ierusalem Iewes, men that feared God, out of euery nacion that is vnder heauen. ⁶ Now whan this voyce came to passe, the multitude came together, and were astonyed: For euery one herde, that they spake with his awne tunge. ⁷ They wondred all and marueyled, and sayde amonge them selues: Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?

⁷ They wondred all and marueyled, and sayde amonge them selues: Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile? ⁸ How heare we the euery one his awne tunge, wherin we were borne?

⁸ How heare we the euery one his awne tunge, wherin we were borne? ⁹ Parthians and Medes, and Elamites, and we that dwell in Mesopotamia, and in Iewry and Capadocia, Pontus, and Asia,

⁹ Parthians and Medes, and Elamites, and we that dwell in Mesopotamia, and in Iewry and Capadocia, Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrigia and Pamphilia, Egipte, and in the partes of Lybia by Cyren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes and Proselytes,

¹⁰ Phrigia and Pamphilia, Egipte, and in the partes of Lybia by Cyren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes and Proselytes, ¹¹ Cretes and Arabians: we heare them speake with oure awne tunges the greate workes of God.

¹¹ Cretes and Arabians: we heare them speake with oure awne tunges the greate workes of God. ¹² They were all amased, and wondred, and sayde one to another: What wil this be?

¹² They were all amased, and wondred, and sayde one to another: What wil this be? ¹³ But other mocked them, and sayde: They are full of swete wyne. ¹⁴ Then stode Peter vp with the eleuen, and lift vp his voyce, and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewry, and all ye that dwell at Ierusale, be this knowne vnto you, and let my wordes entre in at youre eares.

¹⁷ And it shal come to passe in the last dayes, sayeth God, I will poure out of my sprete vpon all flesh, and youre sonnes and youre doughters shal prophecye, and youre yonge men shal se visions and youre olde men shall dreame dreames,

³³ Seynge now that he by the right hande of God is exalted, and hath receaued of ye father ye promyse of the holy goost, he hath shed forth this, that ye se and heare.

³⁸ Peter sayde onto them: Amede youre selues, and let euery one of you be baptysed in the name of Iesus Christ, for the remyssion of synnes, and ye shal receaue the gifte of the holy goost.

¹³ The God of Abraham and of Isaac, and of Iacob, ye God of oure fathers hath glorifyed his childe Iesus, whom ye delyuered and denyed in the presence of Pilate, whan he had iudged him to be lowsed.

²² For Moses sayde vnto ye fathers: A prophet shal the LORDE youre God rayse vp vnto you, euen from amoge youre brethren, like vnto me: him shal ye heare, in all that he shal saye vnto you. ²³ And it shal come to passe, what soule soeuer shal not heare the same prophet, shal be destroyed from amonge the people.

¹¹ This is the stone refused of you buylders, which is become the heade corner stone, ¹² nether is there saluacion in eny other: Ner yet also is there geue vnto me eny other name, wherin we must be saued. ¹³ They sawe the boldnesse of Peter & Ihon and marueyled, for they were sure yt they were vnlerned men and laye people. And they knewe the also, that they were wt Iesu.

³¹ And wha they had prayed, the place moued where they were gathered together, & they were all fylled with ye holy goost, & spake the worde of God boldly.

²¹ Whan they herde that, they entred in to the temple early in the mornynge: and taught.But the hye prest came, and they yt were with him, and called the councell together, & all ye Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the preson to fet them. ²² The mynisters came and founde them not in the preson, came agayne, and tolde, ²³ and sayde:The preson founde we shut with all diligence, and the kepers stondinge without before the dores: but wha we had opened, we founde noman therin. ²⁴ Whan the hye prest, and the rulers of the temple and the other hye prestes herde these wordes, they douted of them, whervnto this wolde growe. ²⁵ Then came there one, which tolde them: Beholde, the men that ye put in preson, are in the temple, stondinge and teachinge the people. ²⁶ Then wete ye rulers with their mynisters, and fetched them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they shulde haue bene stoned.

²⁶ Then wete ye rulers with their mynisters, and fetched them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they shulde haue bene stoned. ²⁷ And whan they had brought them, they set the before the councell. And the hye prest axed them, ²⁸ and sayde: Dyd not we comaunde you strately, that ye shulde not teache in this name. And beholde, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and ye intede to brynge this mans bloude vpon vs. ²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayde: We ought more to obeye God then men. ³⁰ The God of oure fathers hath raysed vp Iesus, who ye slewe, and hanged on tre. ³¹ Him hath the righte hande of God exalted, to be a prynce and Sauioure, to geue repentaunce and forgeuenesse of synnes vnto Israel. ³² And we are his recordes of these wordes, and the holy goost, who God hath geuen vnto the that obeye him. ³³ Wha they herde that, it wente thorow the hertes of them, and they thoughte to slaye them.

⁷ And the worde of God increased, and the nombre of the disciples multiplied greatly at Ierusalem. And there were many prestes also obedient vnto the fayth.

³⁸ This is he, that was in the congregacion in the wyldernesse with the angell, which talked with him, vpo mount Sina, and with oure fathers. This man receaued the worde of life to geue vnto vs,

⁵¹ Ye styffnecked & of vncircumcysed hertes and eares, ye allwaye resiste the holy goost: Eue as yor fathers dyd, so do ye also. ⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not yor fathers persecuted? And they slewe the, which tolde before of the comynge of ye righteous, whose traytours and murthurers ye are now become. ⁵³ Ye receaued the lawe by the mynistracion of angels, and haue not kepte it. ⁵⁴ Whan they herde this, it wente thorow ye hertes of the, and they gnasshed vpo him with their tethe.

¹³ Then Symon himself beleued also, and was baptysed, and cleued vnto Philippe. And wha he sawe the dedes and tokens that were done, he wondred.

³³ In his humblenesse is his iudgment exalted. Who shal declare his generacion? for his life is taken awaye from the earth.

¹ There was a man at Cesarea, named Cornelius (a captayne of ye copany, which is called ye Italianysh) ² a deuoute man, & one that feared God wt all his house, & gaue moch almesse to ye people, and prayed God allwaye. ³ The same sawe in a vision openly (aboute the nyenth houre of the daye) an angell of God entringe in to him, and sayenge vnto him: Cornelius. ⁴ He loked vpon him, and was afrayed, and sayde: LORDE, what is it? He sayde vnto him: Thy prayers & thine allmesses are come vp in to remebraunce before God. ⁵ And now sende men vnto Ioppa, & call for Simo, whose syrname is Peter, ⁶ which is at lodginge with one Symon a tanner, whose house lyeth by ye see syde: he shal tell ye, what thou oughtest to do.

³⁸ how God anoynted the same Iesus of Nazareth with the holy goost and wt power, which wente aboute, & dyd good, and healed all those that were oppressed of the deuell, for God was with him.

¹³ And he shewed vs, how he had sene an angell stondinge in his house, which sayde vnto him: Sende men to Ioppa, and call for Simon (whose syrname is Peter) ¹⁴ he shal tell ye wordes, wherby thou and all thy house shal be saued.

¹⁸ Whan they herde this, they helde their peace, and praysed God, and sayde: Then hath God also to the Heithen graunted repentaunce vnto life.

²⁴ For he was a good man, full of the holy goost and faith. And there was a greate multitude of people added vnto the LORDE.

⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas waxed bolde, and sayde: It behoued first the worde of God to be spoken vnto you: but now that ye thrust it fro you, and counte youre selues vnworthy of euerlastinge life, lo, we turne to the Gentyles. ⁴⁷ For so hath the LORDE comaunded vs: I haue set the to be a lighte vnto ye Gentyles, yt thou be ye Saluacion vnto the ende of the earth. ⁴⁸ Whan the Gentyles herde that, they were glad, and praysed the worde of the LORDE, and beleued, eue as many as were ordeyned to euerlastinge life.

⁴ Howbeyt the multitude of the cite was deuyded, some helde wt the Iewes, and some with the Apostles.

¹¹ (for they were the Eldest amonge the at Thessalonica) which receaued the worde maruelous wyllingly, and searched the scriptures daylie, whether it were euen so.

²³ I haue gone thorow, & sene youre gods seruyce, and founde an altare, where vpo was wrytten: To the vnknowne God. Now shewe I vnto you ye same, whom ye worshippe ignorauntly.

¹⁰ for I am with the: and no man shal inuade the that shal hurte the, for I haue moch people in this cite.

²¹ But they are enfourmed agaynst the, that thou teachest all the Iewes which are amoge the Heythe, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they oughte not to circumcyse their children, ner to walke after the same custome.

²¹ And he sayde vnto me: Go thy waye, for I wil sende the farre amonge the Hey then.

³ Then sayde Paul vnto him: God shal smyte the thou paynted wall. Syttest thou and iudgest me after the lawe, and commaundest me to be smytten cotrary to ye lawe?

⁷ And whan he had so sayde, there arose a dissencion betwene ye Pharises and the Saduces, and the multitude was deuyded: ⁸ for the Saduces saye that there is no resurreccion, nether angell, ner sprete: but the Pharises graute both. ⁹ And there was made a greate crye. And ye Scrybes of the Pharyses secte, stode vp, and stroue, and sayde: We fynde no euell in this ma. But yf a sprete or an angell haue spoke vnto him, let vs not stryue agaynst God. ¹⁰ But whan the discension was greate, ye vpper captayne feared, that Paul shulde haue bene pluckte a sonder of them, and commaunded the soudyers to go downe, and to take him from them, and to brynge him in to the castell. ¹¹ But in the nighte folowinge, the LORDE stode by him, and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul, for as thou hast testified of me at Ierusalem so must thou testifye at Rome also.

²⁴ Whan he thus answered for himselfe, Festus sayde with a loude voyce: Paul, thou art besydes thy selfe, moch lernynge maketh ye madd.

²³ For this night stode by me the angell off God (whose I am, & who I serue) ²⁴ & saide: Feare not Paul, thou must be broughte before the Emperoure. And lo, God hath geuen vnto the all the that sayle with the. ²⁵ Wherfore syrs be of good cheare: for I beleue God, yt it shal come so to passe, as it was tolde me.

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God, euen so God gaue the vp in to a lewde mynde, to do those thinges which were not comly,

¹² shal perish also without lawe: and whosoeuer haue synned in the lawe, shalbe iudged by the lawe. ¹³ For before God, they are not righteous, which heare ye lawe: but they that do the lawe, shalbe iustified.

¹⁷ But take hede, thou art called a Iewe, and trustest in the lawe, & makest thy boost of God, ¹⁸ and knowest his will: & for so moch as thou art enfourmed out of ye lawe, ¹⁹ thou prouest what is best to do, and presumest to be a leader of the blynde: a lighte of them yt are in darcknes: ²⁰ an enformer of ye vnwyse: a teacher of ye symple: which hast the ensample of knowlege & of the trueth in the lawe. ²¹ Now teachest thou other, and teachest not thy selfe. Thou preachest that a man shulde not steale, and thou stealest. ²² Thou sayest, that a man shulde not breake wedlocke, and thou breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest ymages, and robbest God of his honoure. ²³ Thou makest thy boost of the lawe, and thorow breakynge of the lawe thou dishonorest God. ²⁴ For thorow you is the name of God euell spoken of amonge the Gentyles, as it is wrytten. ²⁵ The circucision verely avayleth, yf thou kepe the lawe: but yf thou breake the lawe, then is thy circumcision become vncircumcision. ²⁶ Therfore yf the vncircumcision kepe the righte thinges conteyned in the lawe, shal not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision? ²⁷ And so it that of nature is vncircumcision, and fulfilleth the lawe shal iudge the, which vnder the letter and circumcision trasgressest the lawe. ²⁸ For he is not a Iew which is a Iewe outwarde: nether is that circucision which is done outwardly in ye flesh: ²⁹ But he is a Iewe, which is hydd within. And the circumcision of ye hert is the circumcision, which is done in the sprete and not in the letter: Whoseprayse is not of men, but of God.

⁴ God forbyd. Let it rather be thus, that God is true, and all me lyers. As it is wrytten: That thou mayest be iustified in thy sayenges, and shuldest ouercome, wha thou art iudged.

¹⁰ As it is wrytte: There is none righteous, no not one. ¹¹ There is none yt vnderstondeth, there is none that seketh after God. ¹² They are all gone out of the waye, they are alltogether become vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. ¹³ Their throte is an open sepulcre, with their tunges they haue disceaued, the poyson off Aspes is vnder their lippes. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursynge and bytternesse. ¹⁵ Their fete are swifte to shed bloude. ¹⁶ Destruccion & wrechidnes are in their wayes, ¹⁷ and ye waye of peace haue they not knowne. ¹⁸ There is no feare of God before their eyes. ¹⁹ But we knowe, yt, what soeuer the lawe sayeth, it sayeth it vnto them which are vnder the lawe, yt euery mouthe maye be stopped, & yt all the worlde maye be detter vnto God, ²⁰ because yt by ye dedes of the lawe no flesh maye be iustified in his sighte. For by the lawe commeth but the knowlege of synne. ²¹ But now without addinge to of ye lawe is the righteousnes which avayleth before God, declared, hauynge witnesse of ye lawe and the prophetes: ²² but I speake of ye righteousnes before God, which cometh by the faith on Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpo all them that beleue.For here is no difference. ²³ For they are all synners, and wate the prayse that God shulde haue of the,

⁹ Now this blessednes, goeth it ouer the circucision, or ouer the vncircumcision? We must nedes graunte, yt Abrahas faith was couted vnto hi for righteousnes. ¹⁰ How was it the rekened vnto him? In the circucision, or in the vncircumcision? Doutles not in the circucision, but in the vncircumcision. ¹¹ As for the toke of circucision he receaued it for a seale off the righteousnes off faith, which he had yet in ye vncircusion, yt he shulde be a father of all the yt beleue, beinge in ye vncircucisio, yt it might be couted vnto the also for righteousnes:

⁷ Now dyeth there scace eny man for the righteous sake: Peraduenture for a good man durst one dye.

⁷ For to be fleshly mynded is enemyte agaynst. God, syth it is not subdued vnto ye lawe of God, for it can not also.

⁹ Howbeit ye are not fleshly, but goostly, yf so be that the sprete of God dwell in you. But who so hath not the sprete of Christ, the same is not his.

²⁰ Where are the wyse? Where are ye scrybes? where are ye disputers of this worlde?

²⁰ Where are the wyse? Where are ye scrybes? where are ye disputers of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wyssdome of this worlde foolishnesse? For in so moch as the worlde by the wyssdome therof knewe not God in his wyssdome, it pleased God thorow foolish preachinge to saue them yt beleue. ²² For the Iewes requyre tokens, and the Grekes axe after wyssdome. ²³ But we preach Christ the crucified: to the Iewes an occasion off fallinge, and vnto the Grekes foolishnes. ²⁴ But vnto them that are called (both Iewes and Grekes) we preach Christ the power of God and the wyssdome off God. ²⁵ For the foolishnes of God is wyser then men: and the weaknes of God is stroger the men. ²⁶ Brethren loke on youre callinge, how that not many wyseme after the flesh, not many mightie, not many of hye degre are called: ²⁷ but that foolish is before the worlde, hath God chosen, that he mighte cofounde the wyse: And that weake is before ye worlde, hath God chosen, yt he mighte confounde the mightye. ²⁸ And the vyle and despysed before the worlde hath God chosen, yee and that which is nothinge, that he mighte destroye that which is oughte,

⁸ which none of ye rulers of this worlde knewe. For yf they had knowne it, they had not crucified the LORDE of glorye,

¹⁴ Howbeit the naturall man perceaueth nothinge of ye sprete of God. It is foolishnes vnto him, and he can not perceaue it: for it must be spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ But he that is spirituall, discusseth all thinges, and he is iudged of no man. ¹⁶ For who hath knowne ye mynde of the LORDE? Or who shal enfourme him? But we haue the mynde of Christ.

¹⁸ Let no ma disceaue himselfe. Yf eny man thinke himselfe wyse amoge you, let him become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse. ¹⁹ For the wyssdome off this worlde is foolishnes with God. For it is wrytten: He compaseth the wyse in their craftynesse. ²⁰ And agayne: The LORDE knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse, that they are vayne.

⁴ and dyd all drynke of one spirituall drynke: but they dronke of the spirituall rocke that folowed the, which rocke was Christ.

²¹ Ye can not drynke of the cuppe of the LORDE and of the cuppe of the deuels. Ye can not be partakers of the LORDES table, and of the table of deuels.

³¹ Therfore whether ye eate or drynke, or what so euer ye do, do all to ye prayse of God. ³² Be not ye an occasion of fallinge, nether to the Iewes, ner to the Gentyles, ner to the congregacion of God, ³³ eue as I also please all men in all thinges, not sekinge myne awne profit, but the profit of many, that they mighte be saued. Folowe ye me, as I do Christ.

²⁵ After the same maner also he toke ye cuppe whan supper was done, and sayde: This cuppe is the new Testament in my bloude, this do (as oft as ye drynke it) in the remebrauce of me.

¹³ For we are all baptysed in one sprete to be one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyles, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all dronke of one sprete.

¹⁸ O faithfull God, that oure worde vnto you hath not bene yee and naye.

⁸ how shal not ye mynistracion of ye sprete be moch more glorious?

⁶ For God that comaunded the light to shyne out of darcknesse, hath geuen a cleare shyne in oure hertes, yt by vs ye light of ye knowlege of the glory of God mighte come forth, in the face of Iesus Christ.

⁸ by honoure and dishonoure, by euell reporte and good reporte: as disceauers, & yet true:

¹² For afore there came certayne from Iames, he ate with the Heythe. But wha they were come, he withdrue and separated himselfe, fearinge the which were of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Iewes dyssembled with him likewyse, in so moch yt Barnabas was brought in to their symulacion also.

¹⁷ This Testament (I saye) which afore was confirmed to Christ warde, is not disanulled (that the promes shulde be made of none affecte) by the lawe which was geuen beyonde foure hundreth & thirtie yeares therafter.

¹⁹ Wherfore the serueth the lawe? It was added because of trangression, tyll the sede came, to the which the promes was made. And it was geuen of angels, by the hande of the mediatoure.

⁴ But whan the tyme was fulfylled, God sent his sonne, borne of a woma, and put vnder the lawe,

¹⁶ Am I therfore become yor enemy, because I tell you ye trueth?

²² But the frute of the sprete, is loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, getlenes, goodnesse, faithfulnes, ²³ mekenesse, teperaunce, Agaynst soch is not ye lawe:

¹² They that wil please in the flesh, constrayne you to be circumcysed, onely lest they shulde be persecuted with the crosse of Christ. ¹³ For eue they them selues which are circumcysed, kepe not the lawe, but wolde haue you circucysed, that they mighte reioyse in youre flesh.

¹³ For eue they them selues which are circumcysed, kepe not the lawe, but wolde haue you circucysed, that they mighte reioyse in youre flesh. ¹⁴ But God forbyd that I shulde reioyse, saue onely in the crosse of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, wherby the worlde is crucified vnto me, and I vnto the worlde.

¹³ on who also ye beleued, after that ye herde the worde of trueth, namely ye Gospell of youre saluacion: wherin whan ye beleued, ye were sealed with the holy sprete of promes, ¹⁴ which is the ernest of oure inheritaunce to oure redempcion, that we mighte be his owne to the prayse off his glory.

⁸ Vnto me the leest of all sayntes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge the Heythe ye vnsearcheable riches of Christ,

³⁰ And greue not the holy sprete of God, wherwith ye are sealed vnto ye daye of redempcion.

⁹ (For the frute of the sprete is all maner of goodnes, and righteousnes and trueth:)

¹⁸ and be not dronken with wyne, wherin is excesse: but be full of the sprete

¹⁹ and for me, that the worde maye be geuen me, that I maye open my mouth boldly, to vtter the secretes of the Gospell, ²⁰ wherof I am a messaunger in bondes, that I maye speake therin frely, as it becommeth me to speake.

¹⁴ In so moch that many brethren in the LORDE, are boldened thorow my bodes, and darre more largely speake the worde without feare.

³ that there be nothinge done thorow stryfe and vayne glory, but that thorow mekenesse of mynde euery man esteme another better then himselfe: ⁴ and let euery ma loke not for his awne profet, but for the profet of other. ⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was in Christ Iesu:

¹⁴ Do all thinges without murmurynges and disputinges,

¹⁵ Let vs therfore (as many as be parfecte) be thus wyse mynded: and yf ye be otherwyse mynded, I praye God open euen this vnto you. ¹⁶ Neuertheles in that wher vnto we are come, let vs procede by one rule, that we maye be of one accorde.

²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowne the glorious riches of this mistery amoge ye Heythen: which (riches) is Christ in you, eue he that is the hope of glory,

⁶ nether soughte we prayse of men, nether of you ner of eny other, whan we mighte haue bene chargeable vnto you as the Apostles off Christ, ⁷ wherevnto I am ordeyned a preacher & an Apostle (I tell ye trueth in Christ and lye not) a teacher of the Heythe in faith and in the trueth.

⁷ For God hath not geuen vs the sprete of feare, but of power, and of loue, and of right vnderstondynge. ⁸ Be not thou asshamed therfore of ye testimony of or LORDE, nether of me, which am his presoner: but suffre thou aduersite also wt the Gospell, acordinge to the power of God

¹¹ whervnto I am appoynted a preacher and an Apostell, and a teacher of the Heythen:

⁹ where in I suffre as an euell doer euen vnto bandes: but the worde of God is not bounde. ¹⁰ Therfore suffre I all for the electes sakes, that they also mighte optayne the saluacion in Christ Iesu with eternall glory. ¹¹ This is a true sayenge: Yf we be deed wt him, we shal lyue with him also: ¹² Yf we be pacient, we shal also raigne with him: Yf we denye him, he also shal denye vs: ¹³ Yf we beleue not, yet abydeth he faithfull, he can not denye himselfe.

² vpon the hope of eternall life: which God that can not lye hath promysed before the tymes of the worlde:
