1 Corinthians 10 Cross References - Great

¹ Brethren, I wolde not that ye shulde be ignoraunt, howe that our fathers were all vnder the cloude, and all passed thorowe the see, ² and were all baptysed vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see: ³ and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate ⁴ and dyd all dryncke of one maner of spirituall dryncke. And they drancke of that spirituall rocke that folowed them, whych rocke was Chryst. ⁵ But in many of them had God no delyte: For they were ouerthrowen in the wyldernes. ⁶ These weare ensamples to vs that we shuld not lust after euyll thynges, as they lusted. ⁷ And that ye shuld not be worshyppers of ymages, as were some of them, accordynge as it is wrytten: The people sate downe to eate & drincke, & rose vp to playe. ⁸ Nether let vs be defyled wt fornicacyon, as some of them were defyled wyth fornicacyon, & fell in one daye .xxiij. thousand. ⁹ Nether let vs tempte Christ, as some of them tempted, & were destroyed of serpentes. ¹⁰ Nether murmure ye, as some of them murmured, & were destroyed of the destroyer. ¹¹ All these thynges happened vnto them for ensamples, but are wrytten to put vs in remembraunce, whom the endes of the worlde are come vpon. ¹² Wherfore, let him that thynketh he stondeth, take hede, lest he fall. ¹³ Ther hath none other temptacyon taken you, but soche as foloweth the nature of man. But God is faythfull whych shall not suffer you to be tempted aboue youre strength: but shall in the myddes of the temptacyon make awaye, that ye maye be able to beare it. ¹⁴ Wherfore my deare beloued, fly from worshyppynge of ymages. ¹⁵ I speake as vnto them whych haue discrecyon, iudge ye what I saye. ¹⁶ Is not the cupp of blessynge which we blesse, partakynge of the bloude of Christ? ¹⁷ is not the breed whych we breake, partetakynge of the body of Chryst? because that we (though we be many) yet are one breed & one bodye, in as moche as we all are partakers of one bred. ¹⁸ Behold Israel after the flessh. Are not they which eate of the sacrifyce, partakers of the temple? ¹⁹ What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thynge? or that it whych is offered to ymages, is eny thynge? ²⁰ Nay, but thys I saye: that the thynges whych the gentyls offer, they offer to deuyls, and not to God. I wolde not that ye shulde haue felloshyppe wyth the deuyls. ²¹ Ye can not dryncke of the cup of the Lorde, and of the cup of deuyls. Ye cannot be the partakers of the Lordes table, and of the table of deuelles. ²² Ether do we prouoke the Lord? Are we stronger then he? I maye do all thynges, but all thynges are not expedient. ²³ I maye do all thynges, but all thynges edifye not. ²⁴ Let no man seke that whych is hys awne: but let euery man seke that whych belongeth to another: ²⁵ Whatsoeuer is solde in the flesshe market, that eate, and aske no questyon for conscyence sake. ²⁶ For the erth is the Lordes, and all that therin is. ²⁷ If eny of them whych beleue not, byd you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go, whatsoeuer is sett before you, eate, askynge no questyon for conscience sake. ²⁸ But and yf eny man saye vnto you: thys is offred vnto ymages, eate not of it for hys sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The erth is the Lordes and all that therin is. ²⁹ Conscience I saye, not thyne, but of the other. For why is my liberte, iudged of another mannes conscience? ³⁰ For yf I take my parte with thankes, why am I euyll spoken of, for that thynge wherfore I geue thankes? ³¹ Whether therfore ye eate or dryncke, or whatsoeuer ye do, do all to the prayse of God. ³² Se that ye geue none occasyon of euyll, nether to the Iewes, nor yet to the gentyls, nether to the congregacyon of God: ³³ euen as I please all men in all thynges, not sekynge myne awne profet, but the profet of many, that they myght be saued.

It was also a darcke clowde, and gaue lyght by nyght: and all the nyght long the one came not at the other. ²¹ And Moses stretched forth hys hande ouer the see: and the Lord caryed awaye the see by a verye stronge easte wynde all that nyght, and made the see drye lande, and the waters were deuyded. ²² And the children of Israel went into the myddest of the see vpon the drye grounde.

And as longe as the cloude abode vpon the habitacyon they laye styll: ¹⁹ and when the cloude taryed styll vpon the habitacyon longe tyme, the chyldren of Israell kepte the watche of the Lorde, and iourneyed not. ²⁰ And it chaunced that whan the clowde abode a few dayes vpon the habitacyon, they abode in their tentes, according to the commaundement of the Lorde: and they iorneyed also at the commaundment of the Lorde. ²¹ And it happened that whan the cloude abode vpon the habitacion from euen vnto the mornyng, and was taken vp in that morning, then they iorneyed. Whether it was by daye or by night that the cloude was taken vp, they iorneyed. ²² Or yf the cloud taryed two dayes or a moneth, or a longe ceason vpon the habitacyon, and remayned theron, the chyldren of Israel abode styll, and iorneyed not. And assone as the cloude was taken vp, they iorneyed.

¹⁹ yet forsokest thou them not in the wyldernes, accordyng to thy greate mercy. And the cloudy pyller departed not from them on the daye tyme to leade them the waye, nether the pyller of fyre in the nyght season, to shewe them lyghte in the waye that they wente.

What doest thou worcke? ³¹ Oure fathers dyd eate Manna in the desert as it is wrytten: He gaue them breed from heauen to eate. ³² Then Iesus sayde vnto them: verely, verely I saye vnto you: Moses gaue you not that breed from heauen: but my father geueth you the true breed from heauen. ³³ For the breed of God is he, whych commeth downe from heauen, and geueth lyfe vnto the worlde. ³⁴ Then sayd they vnto him: Lord, euermore geue vs this breed. ³⁵ And Iesus sayd vnto them.

And I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁴¹ The Iewes then murmured at him, because he sayd: I am the breed whych came downe from heauen. ⁴² And they sayde: Is not this Iesus the sonne of Ioseph, whose father & mother we knowe? How is it then that he sayeth, I came downe from heauen? ⁴³ Iesus answered & sayd vnto them. Murmur not amonge youre selues. ⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last daye. ⁴⁵ It is written in the Prophetes: and they shalbe all taught of God. Euery man therfore that hath hearde, and hath learned of the father, commeth vnto me. ⁴⁶ Not that eny man hath sene the father, saue he which is of God: the same hath sene the father. ⁴⁷ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you: he that putteth his trust in me, hath euerlastinge lyfe. ⁴⁸ I am that breed of lyfe. ⁴⁹ Youre fathers dyd eate Manna in the wyldernes, & are deed? ⁵⁰ Thys is that breed, whych commeth downe from heauen, that a man maye eate therof, & not dye. ⁵¹ I am that lyuinge bread, whych came downe from heauen. If eny man eate of this bread, he shall liue for euer And the breed that I will geue, is my flesshe, whych I will geue for the lyfe of the worlde. ⁵² The Iewes therfore stroue amonge them selues, saying: How can this felowe geue vs the flessh of his, to eate? ⁵³ Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you, except ye eate the flesshe of the sonne of man, and drinke his bloude: ye haue no lyfe in you. ⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesshe & dryncketh my bloude, hath eternall lyfe, & I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁵⁵ For my fleshe is meate in dede: and my bloude is drincke in dede. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesshe & drinketh my bloude, dwelleth in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the lyuinge father hath sent me, and I liue for the father: Euen so he that eateth me, shall lyue by the meanes of me. ⁵⁸ This is the breed, which cam downe from heauen: not as youre fathers dyd eate Manna, & are deed: He that eateth of this breed, shall lyue euer.

¹² And Ioseph sayde vnto hym: thys is the intrepretacion of it.

²⁶ The .vij. good kyne are .vij. yeares: and the .vij. good eares are seuen yeares also, and it is but one dreame.

⁶ Beholde, I stonde before the besyde a rocke that is in Horeb: & thou shalt smyte the rocke, and there shall come water out therof, that the people maye dryncke. And Moses dyd euen so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

¹¹ And Moses lyfte vp hys hande, and with hys rodd he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came oute aboundantly, and the multitude drancke and theyr beastes also.

²¹ And I toke youre synne the calfe whych ye had made and burnt hym with fyre, & stamped hym & grounde hym a good, euen vnto sinal dust. And I cast the dust therof into the brooke, that descended out of the mounte.

¹⁵ In the daye tyme also he led them wyth a cloude, and all the nyght thorow wt a light of fyre.

²⁰ They spake agaynst God also sayenge: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

⁴¹ He opened the rocke of stone, and the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the drye places.

²⁰ The wylde beastes shall worshyppe me: the dragons, and the yonge Estriches. For I shall geue water in the wyldernes, and streames in the desert: that may geue drincke to my people, whom I chose.

²¹ that they suffred no thurst, he lead them thorow the wildernes, and caused the waters to flowe out vnto them from out of the rocke. He claue the rocke a sonder, and the water gusshed out.

⁴ Then take a curtesy of it, and cast it in the myddest of the fyre: & burne it in the fyre. Out of the same fyre shall there goo a flame, vpon the whole house of Israel. ⁵ Moreouer, thus sayde the Lorde God: Thys same is Ierusalem. I sett her in the myddest of the Heathen & nacions that are rounde aboute her,

³⁸ & hath delyuered the all thynges, that are amonge the children of men: the beastes of the felde, & the foules vnder the heauen, and geuen the dominion ouer them all. Thou art that golden head.

¹⁷ These foure great beastes, are foure kynges which shall aryse out of the earth.

³⁸ The feld is the worlde. And the chyldren of the kyngdome, they are the good seed: the tares are the chyldren of the wycked: ³⁹ the enemie that soweth them, is the deuyll. The haruest is the ende of the worlde: the reapers be the Angels.

²⁶ Whan they were eatyng, Iesus toke bread, and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it, & gaue it to the disciples, & sayd: Take, eate, this is my body. ²⁷ And he toke the cup, & thanked, and gaue it them, sayinge: drincke ye all of this. ²⁸ For this is my bloud (which is of the new testament) that is shed for many, for the remissyon of synnes.

¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto hyr: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God, and who it is that sayeth to the geue me drincke, thou woldest haue asked of him, & he wolde haue geuen the water of lyfe.

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drincketh of the water that I shall geue him, shall neuer bemore a thyrst: but the water that I shall geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, spryngynge vp into euerlastinge lyfe.

³⁷ In the last daye, that great daye of the feast Iesus stode, and cryed, sayinge: If eny man thyrst, lett him come vnto me, & drincke.

²⁴ and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it and sayde: Take ye, and eate: this is my body, whych is broken for you. This do ye in the remembraunce of me. ²⁵ After the same maner also he toke the cup, when supper was done, sayinge: This cuppe is the new testament in my bloude. Thys do as oft as ye dryncke it, in remembraunce of me.

²⁵ For mounte Syna is Agar in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the cytie, which is nowe called Ierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren.

¹⁷ which are shaddowes of thinges to come: but the body is in Chryst.

¹ For the lawe (hauynge the shadowe of good thynges to come, and not the very fasshion of the thinges them selues) can neuer with those sacrifices which they offer; yeare by yeare continually make the commers therunto parfayt.

¹⁷ And the sprete and the bryde saye come. And let him that heareth, saye also: come. And let him that is a thyrst: come. And let whosoeuer wyll, take of the water of lyfe, fre.

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: How longe do this people prouoke me, and howe longe will it be yer they beleue me: for all the signes which I haue shewed among them? ¹² I wyll smyte them with the pestilence and destroie them: and wyll make of the a greater nacion and a myghtier then they.

²⁸ I haue heard the murmuringes of the chyldren of Israel with the which they murmur agaynst me. Tell them therfore: As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lorde) I will do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares. ²⁹ Youre carkasses shall lye in this wildernes. And all you that were tolde thorowout your nombres, from .xx. yeare and aboue (which haue murmured against me) ³⁰ shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun. ³¹ But your children which ye saye shulde be a praye, them I will bring in, & they shall knowe the land which ye haue refused, ³² and your carkasses shall lye in this wyldernesse. ³³ And your children shall wander in this wildernes .xl. yeres, & suffer for your whordom, vntyll your carkasses be wasted in the wildernes, ³⁴ after the nombre of the dayes in which ye searched out the lande euen fourty daies, euery daye for a yeare shall ye beare your vnrighteousnes euen .xl. yeare, and ye shall knowe my displeasure. ³⁵ I the Lorde haue sayde that I wyll do it vnto all thys euell congregacion that are gathered together agaynst me. For in this wildernes they shalbe consumed, and here they shall dye.

³⁷ euen those men that did bring vp that sclaunder vpon it, as though it had bene euell dyed in a greate plage before the Lord.

⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of them, whom Moses and Aaron nombred, when they tolde the chyldren of Israel in the wyldernesse of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the Lorde sayde of them: they shall dye in the wildernes: and ther was not left a man of them, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

³⁴ And the Lorde hearde the voyce of youre wordes, and was wroth, & sware, sayinge: ³⁵ there shall not one of these men and of this frowarde generacyon se that good lande which I sware to geue vnto youre fathers,

¹⁵ For in dede the hande of the Lorde was agaynst them, to destroye them from amonge the host, tyll they were consumed. ¹⁶ And so it came to passe, that all the men of warre were consumed and deed from amonge the people.

³² But for all this they synned yet more, and beleued not hys wonderous worckes. ³³ Therfore, their dayes dyd he consume in vanyte, and their yeares in trouble. ³⁴ When he slewe them, they sought hym, and turned them early and enquered after God.

¹ A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lorde, thou hast bene oure refuge from one generacyon to another.

⁷ For we consume awaye in thy displeasure, & are afrayed at thy wrathfull indignacyon. ⁸ Thou hast set oure misdedes before the, and oure secrete synnes in the lyght of thy countenaunce.

¹¹ Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they shulde not enter in to my rest.

²⁶ Then lyft he vp his hand agaynst them, to ouerthrowe them in the wildernes.

¹⁷ But with whom was he despleased .xl. yeares? Was he not despleased with them that had synned, whose carkases were ouerthrowen in the desert?

⁵ My mynde is therfore to put you in remembraunce, for as moche as ye once knowe this, how that the Lorde (after that he had delyuered the people out of Egypt) destroyed them which after warde beleued not.

⁴ And the rascall people that was amonge them, fell a lustyng, and turned them selues and wepte (euen as dyd also the chyldren of Israel) and sayde: who shall geue vs flesh to eate?

³¹ And there went forth a wynde from the Lorde: and brought quayles from the see: and let them fall about the hoost, euen a daies iorney rounde about on euery syde of the hoost, and as it were two cubites hye ouer the erth. ³² And the people stode vp, and all that day and all the nyght, and on the morowe they gathered quayles. And he that gathred a lytle, gathred ten homers ful. And they spred them abrode rounde aboute the hoost. ³³ And whyle the flesh was yet betwene their teth, and yer it was chewed vp: beholde, the countenaunce of the Lorde was moued agaynst the people, & the Lord slewe the people with an exceadynge great plage. ³⁴ And the name of the place was called, the graues of lust, because they buryed the people that lusted, there.

²⁷ He caused the East wynd to blowe vnder the heauen, and thorow his power he brought in the south west wynde. ²⁸ He rayned flesh vpon them as thicke as dust, and fethered foules lyke as the sande of the see. ²⁹ He let it fall amonge their tentes euen rounde aboute their habytacyon. ³⁰ So they dyd eate, and were well fylled, for he gaue them their awne desyre. They were not disapoynted of their lust. ³¹ But whyle the meate was yet in theyr mouthes: the heuy wrath of God came vpon them, & slewe the welthiest of them, yee, and smote downe, the chosen men that were in Israel.

¹⁴ But lust came vpon them in the wildernesse, and they tempted God in the deserte. ¹⁵ And he gaue them their desyre, and sent leanesse withall in to their soule.

⁶ Therfore wil I rote oute this people, & destroye their towres: yee, and make their stretes so voyde, that no man shal goo therin. Their cityes shalbe broken downe, so that no body shall be left, ner dwell there eny more. ⁷ I sayd vnto them: O feare me, and be content to be refourmed. That their dwellinge shulde not be destroyed, & that there shulde happen vnto them none of these thynges, wherwith I shall vyset them. But neuertheles, they stande vp early; to folowe the fylthynes of their awne ymaginacions.

¹⁴ neuerthelesse deeth raygned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that had not synned wyth lyke transgression as dyd Adam: which beareth the similitude of him that was to come.

¹¹ All these thynges happened vnto them for ensamples, but are wrytten to put vs in remembraunce, whom the endes of the worlde are come vpon.

¹¹ Let vs study therfore to entre into that rest, lest eny man fall after the same ensample of vnbelefe.

²⁴ For Christ is not entred into the holy places that are made wyth handes (whych are symilitudes of true thynges) but is entred into very heauen, for to appeare now in the syght of God for vs:

²¹ like as baptyme also now saueth vs, not the puttynge awaye of the fylth of the flesshe, but in that a good conseyence consenteth to God, by the resurreccyon of Iesus Christ,

⁶ and turned the cyties of Zodom and Gomor into asshes: ouerthre we them, damned them, and made on them an ensample vnto those that after shulde lyue vngodly.

⁷ euen as Sodome & Gomore, and the cytyes aboute them (which in lyke maner defyled them selues with fornicacyon, and folowed straunge flesshe) are set forth for an ensample, & suffre the payne of eternall fyre.

⁴ And he receaued them of their handes, and fassyoned it with a grauer, and made of it a calfe of molten metall. And they sayde: These be thy goddes, O Israel, which brought the oute of the lande of Egipt.

⁶ And they rose vp in the mornyng, & offred burntofferinges, and brought peace offeringes also. And the people sat them downe to eate and dryncke, and rose vp agayne to playe. ⁷ And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: go, get the downe: thy people which thou broughtest out of the lande of Egipt, ⁸ haue marred all, they are turned at once out of the waye, which I commaunded them: for they haue made them a calfe of molten metall, and haue worshypped it, and haue offered thereto, sayinge: These be thy goddes, O Israel, which hath brought the oute of the lande of Egipt.

¹⁷ And when Iosua hearde the noyse of the people, as they showted, he sayde vnto Moses: there is a noyse of warre in the host.

¹⁹ And it fortuned, assoone as he came nye vnto the hooste, he sawe the calfe and the daunsynge, and Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the tables out of his handes, and brake them beneth the hyll.

¹² and the Lorde sayde vnto me. Up, & get the doune quickely from hence, for thy people which thou hast broughte out of Egypte, haue marred all. They are turned attonce out of the waye, whiche I commaunded them, and haue made them a molten ymage.

¹⁶ And I loked, & beholde, ye had synned agaynst the Lorde your God, & had made you a molten calfe, and had turned attonce out of the waye whyche the Lord had commaunded you. ¹⁷ And I toke the two tables and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before youre eyes. ¹⁸ And I fell downe flat before the Lorde: euen as at the fyrst tyme, and .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes I dyd nether eate bread nor drincke water, because of all youre synnes, whych ye synned, in doynge wyckedly in the syght of the Lord in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath. ¹⁹ For I was afrayed that for the wrath & fearsnesse wher wyth the Lorde was moued agaynst you, he wolde haue destroyed you. But the Lorde herde me at that tyme also. ²⁰ The Lorde was very angrye wyth Aaron also, euen to haue destroyed hym: & I made intercessyon for Aaron also the same tyme: ²¹ And I toke youre synne the calfe whych ye had made and burnt hym with fyre, & stamped hym & grounde hym a good, euen vnto sinal dust. And I cast the dust therof into the brooke, that descended out of the mounte.

¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten ymage. ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calfe, that eateth haye.

¹¹ But now I dyd write vnto you, that ye company not together, yf eny that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or coueteous, or a worshypper of ymages, ether a raylar, ether a dronckard, or an extorcionar: wyth hym that is soche, se that ye eate not.

⁹ Do ye not knowe, how that the vnryghteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaued. For nether fornicatours, nether worshyppers of ymages, nether aduoutrers, nether weaklynges, nether abusers of them selues wyth mankynde,

⁷ But euery man hath not knowledge. Some hauing conscience because of the ymage, vntill thys houre, eate as a thinge offered vnto ymages: & so their conscience beinge weake is defyled.

¹⁴ Wherfore my deare beloued, fly from worshyppynge of ymages.

²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect. ²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. ²² Wherfore tonges are for a sygne, not to them that beleue: but to them that beleue not. Contrary wyse, prophesyinge serueth not for them that beleue not: but for them which beleue.

²¹ Babes kepes youre selues from ymages. Amen.

¹ And Israel dwelt in Sittim, and the people began to committe whoredome with the daughters of Moab, ² which called the people vnto the sacryfyce of theyr goddes. And the people dyd eate, and worshypped theyr goddes, ³ & Israel coupled him selfe vnto Baal Peor. And the indignacyon of the Lorde was prouoked agaynst Israel, ⁴ and the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: take all the heades of the people, & hange them vp before the Lorde agaynst the sonne, that the wrath of the Lordes countenaunce maye be tourned awaye from Israel. ⁵ And Moses sayd vnto the iudges of Israel euery one slaye hys men that were ioyned vnto Baal Peor. ⁶ And beholde, one of the chyldren of Israel came and broughte vnto his brethren, a Madianitish wyfe euen in the syghte of Moses, and in the sight of all the multitude of the children of Israel, that wepte before the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse. ⁷ And when Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the preaste sawe it, he rose vp oute of the myddes of the companie, and toke a weapon in hys hande, ⁸ and went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust them thorowe: both the man of Israel and also the woman, euen thorowe the belly of her. And the plage ceased from the chyldren of Israel. ⁹ And there dyed in the plage .xxiiii. thousande.

²⁹ Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their awne inuencions and the plage was greate amonge them.

¹⁸ Fle fornicacion. Euery synne that a man doth, is without the body. But he that is a fornicator, synneth against his awne body.

¹⁴ But I haue a fewe thynges agaynst the: because thou hast there, them that mayntayne the doctrine of Balam which taught in Balake, to put occasyon of synne before the chyldren of Israel, that they shulde eate of meate dedycat vnto ydoles, and commyt fornycacyon.

² And the people chode with Moses, and sayde: geue vs water to drincke. Moses sayde vnto them: why chyde ye with me? wherfore do ye tempte the Lorde?

⁷ And he called the name of the place Masse and Meriba. because of the chidynge of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lorde, sayinge: is the Lorde amonge vs or not?

²⁰ Beholde, I sende an Angell before the, to kepe the in the waye, and to brynge the into the place which I haue prepared. ²¹ Beware of hym, and heare his voyce, and resyst hym not: for he wyll not spare youre mysdedes & my name is in hym.

⁵ And the people spake agaynst God & agaynst Moses wherfore hast thou brought vs oute of Egypte, for to dye in the wildernesse? for here is nether bread nor water, & oure soule lotheth thys lyghte breade. ⁶ Wherfore the Lorde sent fyerye serpentes amonge the people, whych stonge them: and moche people of Israel dyed.

¹⁶ Ye shall not tempte the Lorde your God as ye dyd in the tentacyon.

¹⁸ Yet for all this they synned more agaynst hym, and prouoked the moost hyest in the wyldernes.

⁵⁶ He cast out the Heathen also before them, caused their lande to be denyded amonge them for an heritage, and made the trybes of Israell to dwell in their tentes.

⁹ When youre fathers tempted me, proued me, and saw my workes.

¹⁴ But lust came vpon them in the wildernesse, and they tempted God in the deserte.

⁸ harden not youre hertes, as in the prouokynge, in the daye of temptacyon in the wyldernes, ⁹ where youre fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes .xl. yeare. ¹⁰ Wherfore I was greued with the generacyon, and sayde: They do all waye erre in their hertes: they verely haue not knowen my wayes, ¹¹ so that I sware in my wrath: they shall not enter into my rest.

²⁸ He that despiseth Moses lawe, dyeth wythout mercy vnder two or thre witnesses: ²⁹ how moch sorer (suppose ye) shall he be ponisshed which treadeth vnder fote the sonne of God: & counteth the bloude of the testament, wherwith he was sanctifyed, as an vnholy thyng, & doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace. ³⁰ For we knowe hym that hath sayd: It belongeth vnto me to take vengeaunce. I wyll recompence sayth the Lord. And agayne: the Lord shal iudge his people.

²³ For the Lorde will go about to smyte the Egipcians. And when he seeth the bloude vpon the vpper dore poste & on the two side postes: he will passe ouer the dore, and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your house to plage you.

²⁴ And the people murmured agaynst Moses, sayinge: what shall we drincke?

² b) And they toke their iorney from Elim: & all the hole company of the children of Israel came to the wildernes of Sin, which is betwene Elim and Synai: the .xv. day of the .ij. moneth after their departyng out of the lande of Egypt. ³ And the hole multitude of the children of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron in the wyldernes: ⁴ and the children of Israel sayde vnto them: wolde to God we had died by the hande of the Lorde in the lande of Egypte, when we sat by the fleshepottes, and when we dyd eate bread our belyes full: for ye haue brought vs out into this wyldernes, to kyll thys hole multitude with honger. ⁵ Then sayde the Lorde vnto Moses: behold, I wyll rayne bread from heauen to you, and the people shall go out, and gather daye by daye that I may proue them, whither they will walke in my lawe or no. ⁶ The .vj. daye they shal prepare for them selues that which they wyll bryng in, and let it be twise asmoch as they gather in dayly. ⁷ And Moses & Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel: at euen ye shall knowe that it is the Lorde, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt: ⁸ and in the morning, ye shall se the glory of the Lorde: because he hath heard your grudginges agaynst the Lorde. And what are we that ye haue murmured against vs? ⁹ And Moses sayde: At euen shall the Lorde geue you flesh to eate, and in the mornyng bread ynough: for the Lorde hath hearde your murmurynges which ye murmur agaynst him: for what are we? your murmuringes are not against vs, but agaynst the Lorde.

² And the people chode with Moses, and sayde: geue vs water to drincke. Moses sayde vnto them: why chyde ye with me? wherfore do ye tempte the Lorde? ³ There the people thirsted for water, and the people murmured agaynst Moses, & sayde: wherfore hast thou thus brought vs oute of Egipte: to kyll vs and oure chyldren and catell with thyrste?

² and all the chyldren of Israel murmured agaynst Moses and Aaron. And the whole congregacyon sayde vnto them: wolde God that we hadd dyed in the lande of Egypte, eyther that we had dyed in thys wildernes.

²⁷ howe longe doth this euell multitude murmur agaynst me? ²⁸ I haue heard the murmuringes of the chyldren of Israel with the which they murmur agaynst me. Tell them therfore: As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lorde) I will do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in myne eares. ²⁹ Youre carkasses shall lye in this wildernes. And all you that were tolde thorowout your nombres, from .xx. yeare and aboue (which haue murmured against me) ³⁰ shalt not come into the land, ouer which I lyfted vp myne hande, to make you dwell therin, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephune, and Iosua the sonne of Nun.

⁴¹ But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured agaynste Moses and Aaron, sayinge: ye haue kylled the people of the Lord.

⁴⁶ And Moses sayde vnto Aaron: take a censer, and put fier therin out of the aulter, and powre on cens, and go quyckly vnto the congregacion, that thou mayest obteyne forgeuenes for them. For there is wrath gone oute from the Lorde, and there is a plage begonne. ⁴⁷ And Aaron toke as Moses commaunded him, and ran into the middes of the congregacion: and beholde, the plage was begonne among the people, and he put on cens, and made an atonement for the people. ⁴⁸ And when he stod betwene the deed and them that were alyue, the plage ceased. ⁴⁹ They that dyed in the plage, were .xiiij. thousande and seuen hundred: besyde them that dyed aboute the busynes of Corah.

¹⁶ And when the Angell stretched out his hande vpon Ierusalem to destroye it, the Lorde had compassion to do that euell, and sayde to the Angell that destroyed the people: it is nowe sufficient: holde thyne hande. And the angell was by the thresshinge place of Arefna the Iebusite.

¹⁵ And God sent the Angel into Ierusalem to destroye in it. And as he was about to destroye, the Lord behelde, and had compassyon on the euyll, and sayde to the Angell that destroyed: it is ynough, let now thyne hande ceasse. And the Angell of the Lorde stode by the thresshynge flowre of Ornan the Iebusyte.

²¹ And the Lord sent an angell, which destroyed all the men of warre and the Lordes and captaynes of the hoost of the kyng of Assur, that he turned his face agayne wt shame toward hys awne land. And when he was come into the house of his God, they that came of hys awne body, slue hym there with the sweard.

²⁵ But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde.

³⁹ the enemie that soweth them, is the deuyll. The haruest is the ende of the worlde: the reapers be the Angels. ⁴⁰ Euen as the tares therfore, are gathered & brent in the fyre: so shall it be in the ende of this worlde. ⁴¹ The sonne of man shall sende forth his Angels, & they shall gather out of his kyngdome all thinges that offende, and them which do iniquite: ⁴² and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre. There shalbe waylinge & gnasshyng of teth.

²³ And immediatly the angell of the Lorde smote hym, because he gaue not God the honour, and he was eaten of wormes and gaue vp the ghost.

¹⁴ Do all thynge with out murmuringe, & dysputynge,

⁷ and to you whych are troubled, rest wyth vs, when the Lorde Iesus shall shewe hym selfe from heauen with the Angels of hys power, ⁸ wyth flaminge fyre, whych shall rendre vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God, and that obeye not the Gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ

²⁸ Thorow fayth he ordeyned the passeouer and that effusyon of bloud, lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne, shulde touch them.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complayners, walkyng after their awne lustes, whose mouthes speake proude thinges. They haue men in greate reuerence because of aduantage.

¹ And I herde a great voyce out of the temple saying to the seuen angels: go youre wayes, powre out youre vyalles of wrath vpon the erth.

²³ Neuertheles it is not wrytten for hym onely, that it was reckened to hy

¹¹ This also, we knowe the season howe that it is tyme that we shulde now awake out of slepe. For now is oure saluacyon nearer, then when we beleued.

⁴ Whatsoeuer thinges are written afore tyme, they are written for our learnynge, that we thorow pacience and comforte of the scriptures, myght haue hope.

²⁹ This saye I brethren, the tyme is shorte. It remayneth, that they whych haue wyues, be as though they had none:

¹⁰ Sayth he it not alltogether for oure sakes? For oure sakes no doute this is written: that he whych eareth shulde eare in hope & that he whych throssheth in hope, shulde be partaker of hys hope.

⁵ Let youre softenes be knowen vnto all men: The Lorde is euen at hande.

²⁵ not forsakynge the felishyppe that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another, & so moch the more, because ye se that the daye draweth nye.

³⁷ For yet a very lytell whyle, & he that shall come wyll come, & wyll not tary.

¹⁸ Lytell chyldren, it is the last tyme, and as ye haue herde how that Antichrist shall come, euen now are there many begonne to be Antichristes allredy, wherby we knowe, that it is the last tyme.

¹⁸ Presumtpteousnes goeth before destruccyon, and after a proude stomake there foloweth a fall.

¹⁴ Well is him that standeth alwaye in awe: as for him that hardeneth his herte, he shall fall in to myschefe.

³³ Peter answered, & sayde vnto him: though all men be offended because of the, yet will not I be offended. ³⁴ Iesus sayd vnto him: Uerely, I saye vnto the, that in this same myght, before the cocke crowe, thou shalt denye me thryse.

⁴⁰ And he came vnto the disciples, & founde them aslepe, and sayeth vnto Peter: what, coulde ye not watch with me one houre: ⁴¹ watche, and praye, that ye entre not into temptacyon. The sprete is willinge, but the fleshe is weake.

²⁰ Thou sayest well: because of vnbeleue they were broken of, and thou stodest stedfast in fayth.

⁶ These thynges (brethren) I haue for an ensample described in myne awne person, & in Apollos, for youre sakes, that ye myght learne by vs, that noman counte of hym selfe beyonde that which is aboue wrytten: that one swell not agaynst another for eny mans cause. ⁷ For who preferreth the? What hast thou, that thou hast not receaued? If thou haue receaued it, why reioysest thou, as though thou haddest not receaued it? ⁸ Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made ryche: ye raygne as kinges without vs: and I wolde to God ye dyd raygne, that we myght raygne with you.

² If eny man thynke that he knoweth eny thing, he knoweth nothyng yet as he ought to knowe.

¹⁷ Ye therfore beloued, (seynge ye be warned afore hand) beware, lest ye, wyth other men be also plucked awaye thorow the erroure of the wycked, and fall from your awne stedfastnes:

¹⁷ because thou sayest: I am ryche & incresyd wyth goodes, and haue nede of nothyng, and knowest not, how thou art wretched & myserable, and poore, & blynde and nakyd. ¹⁸ I counsell the to bye of me, golde tryed in the fyre, that thou mayste be ryche: and whyte rayment, that thou mayste be clothed, that thy fylthy nakednes do not appeare, & anoynt thyne eyes wyth eye salue that thou mayste se.

²⁰ Beholde, here is a cytie by, to flee vnto, euen yonder lytle one: Oh let me be saued there: is it not a lytle one, and my soule shall lyue? ²¹ And he sayde to hym: se I haue receaued thy request as concernynge this thynge, that I wyll not ouerthrowe thys cytie for the which thou hast spoken.

¹⁷ And I haue sayde, I wyll brynge you out of the tribulacyon of Egypte vnto the lande of the Canauytes, and Hethites, and Amorytes, and Pherezytes, and Heuytes, and Iebusytes: euen vnto a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and hony.

⁹ Understande therfore, that the Lorde thy God he his God, & that a true God whych kepeth poyntment and mercy vnto them that loue hym & kepe his commaundementes, euen thorowe out a thousande generacyons:

⁵ Thy mercy, O Lorde reacheth vnto the heauen, and thy faythfulnesse vnto the cloudes.

³³ I wyll vyset theyr offences with the rod and theyr synne wyth scourges.

⁷ the snare is broken, and we are delyuered.

³ For the rod of the vngodly cometh not into the lot of the ryghteous, lest the ryghteous put their hande vnto wyckednesse.

⁵ Ryghteousnesse shalbe the gyrdle of his loynes, trueth & faythfulnesse, the gyrdynge vp of hys raynes.

¹ Thou arte the Lorde my God, I wyll magnifye the, I wyll geue thankes vnto thy name. For thou hast brought wonderfull thinges to passe, according to thyne olde councels truly & faythfully.

⁷ Moreouer, thus sayth the Lorde the auenger and holy one of Israel: because of the abhorringe and despysinge amonge the Gentiles, concerning the seruaunt of all them that beare rule. Kynges and princes shall se, and aryse and worshyp, because of the Lord that is faythfull: & because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen the.

⁵ Seyng, thou art weery in runnyng with the fote men, how wilt thou then runne with horses? In a peaceable sure lande thou mayest be safe, but how wilt thou do in the furyous pryde of Iordane?

¹¹ For I know what I haue deuised for you, sayth the Lorde. My thoughtes are to geue you peace, and not trouble (which I geue you all ready) and that ye myght haue hope againe.

²³ Newe mercyes shall the Lorde shewe vpon the, erly, yee in the daye sprynge, (O Lorde) greate is thy faythfulnesse.

¹⁷ oure God whom we serue, is able to kepe vs from the hote burnyng ouen (O kynge) and can ryght well delyuer vs out of thy handes.

²⁰ In fayth also wyll I mary the vnto my selfe, and thou shalt knowe the Lorde.

²¹ For then shalbe great tribulacions suche as was not sens the begynning of the worlde to this tyme, nor shalbe. ²² Ye & except those dayes shulde be shortened, there shulde no fleshe be saued: but for the chosens sake, those dayes shalbe shortened. ²³ Then yf eny man saye vnto you: lo here is Chryst, or there: beleue it not. ²⁴ For there shall aryse false Chrystes, and false prophetes and shall shew great miracles, & wondres. In so moch (that yf it were possyble) the verie electe shuld be deceaued:

⁴ And forgeue vs our synnes: For euen we forgeue euery man that treapaseth vs. And Leade vs not into temptacion But deliuer vs from euyll.

²⁶ Beyonde all this, betwene vs and you ther is a greate space set, so that they which wolde go from hence to you, cannot: nether maye come from thence to vs.

³¹ And the Lord sayde: Symon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desyred to syfte you, as it were wheate: ³² but I haue prayed for the, that thy fayth fayle not. And when thou arte conuerted, strength thy brethren.

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: why slepe ye? Ryse, and praye, lest ye fall into temptacyon.

²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande. ²⁹ My father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and no man is able to take them oute of my fathers hand. ³⁰ I and my father are one.

⁴⁴ And the other he commaunded to go, some on bordes, and some on broken peces of the shyp. And so it came to passe, that they escaped all safe to lande.

²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose. ²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren. ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed. ³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs? ³² which spared not hys awne sonne, but gaue him for vs all: how can it be, that with hym he shulde not geue vs all thynges also? ³³ Who shall laye eny thynge to the charge of Goddes chosen; it is God that iustyfyeth: ³⁴ who is he that can condempne? it is Chryst which dyed, yee, rather which is rysen agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercessyon for us. ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs from the loue of God? shall tribulacyon? or angusshe? or persecucyon? other honger? ether nakednesse? ether parell? ether swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: for thy sake are we kylled all daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thynges we ouercome thorowe hym that loued vs. ³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come, ³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

⁹ God is faythfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellyshyppe of hys sonne Iesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ and whych delyuered vs from so great a deeth: and doth delyuer. On whom we trust, that yet hereafter he wyll delyuer,

²³ They are the mynisters of Chryst (I speake as a foole) I am more. In labours more aboundante: In strypes aboue measure: In preson more plenteouslye: In deeth ofte. ²⁴ Of the Iewes fyue tymes receaued I euery tyme .xl. strypes saue one. ²⁵ Thryse was I beaten wt roddes, I was once stoned, I suffered thryse shypwracke. Nyght and daye haue I bene in the deepe see. ²⁶ In iorneying often: in parels of waters: in parels of robbers: in ieopardyes of myne awne nacyon: in ieopardyes among the hethen: in parels in the citie: in parels in wildernes: in parels in the see: in parels amonge false brethren: ²⁷ in laboure & trauayle: in watchinges often: in honger and thyrst: in fastynges often: in colde and nakednes: ²⁸ besyde the thinges which outwardly happen vnto me. I am combred daylye, and do care for all congregacyons.

⁸ And lest I shulde be exalted out of measure thorowe the excellencye of the reuelacions: there was gyuen vnto me vnquyetnes thorowe the flesshe, euen the messenger of Satan to buffet me, because I shulde not be exalted out of measure. ⁹ For this thynge besought I the Lorde thryse, that it might departe from me. ¹⁰ And he sayde vnto me: my grace is sufficient for the. For my strength is made parfect thorow weaknes. Uery gladly therfore wyll I reioyce of my weaknes, that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me.

¹² For we wrestle not agaynst bloude and flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldy rulers, euen gouerners of the darcknes of thys worlde, agaynst spretuall craftynes in heauenly thynges. ¹³ Wherfore take vnto you the whole armoure of God, that ye maye be able to resyste in the euyll daye, and stande perfecte in all thinges.

²⁴ Faythfull is he whych called you, which wyll also do it.

³ but the Lord is faythfull, whych shall stablysshe you, and preserue you from euyll.

¹¹ It is a true sayinge for yf we be deed wt hym, we shall also lyue wyth hym. ¹² If we be pacient, we shall also raygne wyth hym. If we denye hym, he also shall denye vs. ¹³ If we beleue not, yet abydeth he faythfull. He cannot denye hym selfe.

¹⁸ And the Lorde shall delyuer me from all euyll doynge, and shall kepe me vnto hys heuenly kyngdom. To whom be prayse for euer and euer. Amen.

¹⁸ that by two immutable thynges (in whych it was vnpossible that God shulde lye) we myght haue a stronge consolacyon, which hitherto haue fled, for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs,

²³ let vs kepe the profession of our hope, wt out waueryng (for he is faithfull that promysed)

¹¹ Thorow fayth Sara also receaued strength to conceaue and be with chylde, and was delyuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faythful which had promysed.

³⁵ the wemen receaued theyr deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked, & wolde not be delyuered, that they myght inheret a better resurrection. ³⁶ Agayne, other were tried wt mockynges & scourginges moreouer, wt bondes & presonment: ³⁷ were stoned, were hewen asunder, were tempted, were slayne wt swearde, walked vp & downe in shepe skynnes, and goates skynnes, being destitute, troubled & vexed: ³⁸ which men that worlde was not worthy of: they wandred in wildernesses: & in mountaynes, and in dennes, and caues of erth.

⁴ For ye haue not yet resysted vnto bloud, striuynge agaynst synne.

¹⁰ Take (my brethren) the Prophetes for an ensample of sufferinge aduersytie, and of pacience, which spake in the name of the Lorde. ¹¹ Beholde, we counte them happy which endure. Ye haue heard of the pacience of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the Lorde made. For the Lord is very pitiefull and mercyfull.

⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme, ⁶ in the whych ye reioyce, though now for a season (yf nede require) ye are in heuynes, thorowe manifolde temptacyons, ⁷ that the triall of youre fayth beyng moche more precious then golde that peryssheth (though it be tryed with fyre) myght be founde vnto laude, glory and honoure, at the apperynge of Iesus Chryst,

¹⁹ Wherfore, let them that are troubled accordyng to the wyll of God, commyt their soules to him with well doynge, as vnto a faythfull creator.

⁸ Be sober and watch, for youre aduersary the deuyll as a roaring lyon walketh about, sekyng whom he maye deuoure: ⁹ whom resyst stedfast in the fayth, knowing, that the same affliccyons are apoynted vnto your brethren, that are in the worlde.

⁹ The Lorde knoweth how to delyuer the godly out of temptacyon, and to reserue the vniuste vnto the daye of iudgement for to be punysshed:

⁹ If we knowledge oure synnes, he is faythfull & iust, to forgeue vs oure synnes, and to clense vs from all vnryghtewesnes.

¹⁰ Feare none of those thynges, which thou shalt suffre. Beholde, the deuyll shall caste some of you into preson, to tempte you, & ye shall haue tribulacyon ten dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth, and I wyll geue the a croune of lyfe.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the wordes of my pacyence, therfore I wyll kepe the from the houre of temptacyon, which wyll come vpon all the worlde, to tempte them that dwell vpon the erth.

¹¹ And I sawe heauen open, & behold, a whyte horsse: & he that sat vpon him was called faythfull & true, & in rightewesnes he doth iudge & make battayle.

¹⁹ Dearly beloued, auenge not youre selues, but rather geue place vnto wrath. For it is wrytten: vengeaunce is myne, I wyll rewarde, sayth the Lorde.

⁷ And that ye shuld not be worshyppers of ymages, as were some of them, accordynge as it is wrytten: The people sate downe to eate & drincke, & rose vp to playe.

²⁰ Nay, but thys I saye: that the thynges whych the gentyls offer, they offer to deuyls, and not to God. I wolde not that ye shulde haue felloshyppe wyth the deuyls. ²¹ Ye can not dryncke of the cup of the Lorde, and of the cup of deuyls. Ye cannot be the partakers of the Lordes table, and of the table of deuelles.

¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amonge them, and separate youre selues from them (sayth the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receaue you,

¹ Seynge that we haue soche promyses (dearely beloued) lett vs clense oure selues from all filthynes of the flesshe and sprete, and growe vp to full holynes wyth the feare of God.

¹¹ Wherfore? Because I loue you not? God knoweth.

¹⁵ Beholde, nowe the thyrde tyme I am ready to come vnto you: and yet wyll I not be chargeable vnto you. For I seke not youres, but you. For the chyldren ought not to laye vp for the fathers and mothers, but the fathers and mothers for the chyldren.

¹⁹ I desyred Titus, & with hym I sent a brother. Dyd Titus defraude you of any thyng? walked we not in one sprete? Walked we not in lyke steppes?

¹ Therfore my brethren (dearly beloued and longed for) my ioye and crowne, so continue in the Lorde ye beloued.

¹ Paul the presoner of Iesu christ and brother Timothe. Unto Philemon the beloued, and oure helper,

¹¹ Dearly beloued, I beseche you as straungers and pylgrems, abstayne from fleshly lustes, which fyght against the soule,

⁸ and all that dwell vpon the erth worshypt hym: whose names are not written in the boke of lyfe of the lambe, which was kylled from the begynnynge of the worlde.

⁸ But the fearfull and vnbeleuynge, and the abhominable, and murdrers, & whormongers, and sorcerers, and ydolaters, and all lyars shall haue theyr parte in the lake which burnyth with fyre and brymstone, which is the seconde death.

¹⁵ For wythout shalbe dogges and inchaunters, and whormongers, and mortherers, and ydolaters, & whosoeuer loueth or maketh leasynges.

² Heare my wordes (O ye wyse men) herken vnto me, ye that haue vnderstandynge. ³ For the eare proueth and discerneth the wordes, and the mouth tasteth the meates:

¹⁰ We are fooles for Christes sake, but ye are wyse thorowe Chryst. We weake, but ye are stronge. Ye are honorable, but we are despysed.

⁵ This I saye to youre shame. Is ther vtterly no wyse man amonge you? What not one at all, that can iudge betwene brother and brother,

¹ As touchyng thinges offred vnto ymages, we are sure that we all haue knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but loue edifyeth.

¹³ Iudge in youre selues, whether it be comly that a woman praye vnto God bare heeded.

²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect.

²¹ Examen all thynges, kepe that which is good.

²² And as they dyd eate, Iesus toke breed: and whan he had geuen thankes he brake it, and gaue to them, and sayde: Take, eate, this is my body. ²³ And he toke the cup, & when he had geuen thankes he toke it to them, & they all dranke of it. ²⁴ and he sayde vnto them: This is my bloude of the newe Testament, whych is shedd for many. ²⁵ Uerely I saye vnto you: I wyll dryncke nomore of the frute of the vyne: vntyll that daye, that I drincke it newe in the kyngdome of God.

¹⁹ And he toke breed, and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it, and gaue vnto them, sayinge: Thys is my body, whych is geuen for you. Thys do, in the remembraunce of me. ²⁰ Lykewyse also, when he had supped, he toke the cup, sayinge: Thys cup is the new testament in my bloude, whych is shedd for you.

⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felowshyp, & in breakynge of bread, and in prayers.

⁴⁶ And they continued dayly with one accorde in the temple, & brake bread from house to house, & dyd eate their meate together, wt gladnes & singlenes of hert,

⁷ And vpon one of the Saboth dayes, whan the disciples came together for to breake breed Paul preached vnto them (ready to departe on the morowe) & continued the preaching vnto mydnyght.

¹¹ So when he was come vp agayne, & had broken the bread & eaten, and talcked a longe whyle (euen tyll the mornyng) at the last he departed.

²³ That which I delyuered vnto you, I receaued of the Lorde. For the Lorde Iesus the same nyght, in which he was betrayed, toke breed: ²⁴ and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it and sayde: Take ye, and eate: this is my body, whych is broken for you. This do ye in the remembraunce of me. ²⁵ After the same maner also he toke the cup, when supper was done, sayinge: This cuppe is the new testament in my bloude. Thys do as oft as ye dryncke it, in remembraunce of me. ²⁶ For as often as ye shall eate this breed, and drincke this cup: ye shall shewe the Lordes deeth tyll he come. ²⁷ Wherfore, whosoeuer, shall eate of this bread, or dryncke of the cup of the Lorde vnworthely, shalbe gyltye of the body and bloud of the Lorde. ²⁸ But let a man examen him selfe, and so let him eate of the breed, and drincke of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eateth or dryncketh vnworthely, eateth and dryncketh his awne damnacyon, because he maketh no difference of the Lordes body.

¹³ For by one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyls, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all droncke of one sprete.

¹⁴ We are made partetakers of Christ, yf we kepe sure (vnto the ende) the begynnynge of the substance,

³ That which we haue sene & herde, declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue fellowshyppe with vs, and that oure felloushyppe maye be wyth the father and his sonne Iesus Christ.

⁷ But & yf we walke in lyght euen as he is in lyght, then haue we fellishippe wt him, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

⁵ so we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, and euery man among oure selues, one anothers members.

³ and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate ⁴ and dyd all dryncke of one maner of spirituall dryncke. And they drancke of that spirituall rocke that folowed them, whych rocke was Chryst.

²¹ Ye can not dryncke of the cup of the Lorde, and of the cup of deuyls. Ye cannot be the partakers of the Lordes table, and of the table of deuelles.

²⁶ For as often as ye shall eate this breed, and drincke this cup: ye shall shewe the Lordes deeth tyll he come. ²⁷ Wherfore, whosoeuer, shall eate of this bread, or dryncke of the cup of the Lorde vnworthely, shalbe gyltye of the body and bloud of the Lorde. ²⁸ But let a man examen him selfe, and so let him eate of the breed, and drincke of the cup.

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many membres, and all the membres of one body though they be many, yet are but one bodye, euen so is Christ.

²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and membres one of another.

²⁶ For ye are all chyldren of God, because ye beleue in Christ Iesu. ²⁷ For all ye that are baptised haue put on Christ. ²⁸ There is no Iewe, nether Gentyll: there is nether bonde, ner fre: there is nether man, ner woman. For ye are all one in Christ Iesu.

²² and hath put all thynges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heed of the congregacyon, ²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him, that fylleth all in all.

¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby:

⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell,

⁴ beynge one body, and one sprete, euen as ye are called in one hope of your callinge.

¹² to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst, ¹³ tyll we all come to the vnitye of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfecte man, vnto the measure of the full perfecte age of Chryst

¹⁶ in whom yf all the body be coupled and knet together thorow out euery ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operacyon as euery parte hath hys measure) he increaseth the body, vnto the edifyinge of it selfe thorowe loue.

²⁵ Wherfore, put awaye lyinge, & speake euery man truth vnto his neyghboure, for as moche as we are members one of another.

¹⁹ & holdeth not the heed, wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norisshment & is knet together, and encreaseth with the increasynge that commeth of God.

¹¹ where is nether Gentyle nor Iewe, circumcisyon nor vncircumcisyon, Barbarous or Sythian, bonde or fre: but Christ is all in all thinges.

¹⁵ And the peace of God rule in youre hertes: to the which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull.

³ And he shall offre som what of the peaceofferynge to be a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde: euen the fatt that couereth the inwardes, and all the fatt that is aboute the inwardes: ⁴ and the two kydneys, & the fatt that is on them and vpon the loynes: and the abundaunce that is on the lyuer shall he take awaye wyth the kydneyes. ⁵ And Aarons sonnes shal burne them on the alter vpon the burntsacrifyce whyche is vpon the wodd that is on the fyre to be a burnt sacrifyce for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.

¹¹ And the preaste shall burne them vpon the alter, to be the foode of a sacryfyce vnto the Lorde.

⁶ All the males amonge the preastes shall eate therof in the holy place, for it is most holy.

¹¹ Thys is the lawe of the peaceoffringe, whan it is offred vnto the Lorde. ¹² If he offer it to geue thanckes, he shall bringe vnto hys thanckoffrynge, swete kakes myngled wyth oyle, & swete wafers anoynted wt oyle, and kakes myngled with oyle of fyne floure fryed. ¹³ He shall brynge hys offerynge vpon kakes of leuended bread for hys peaceoffringes to geue thankes: ¹⁴ and of all the sacrifice he shall offer one for an heue offringe vnto the Lorde, and it shall be the Preastes that sprynckled the bloude of the peaceoffringes. ¹⁵ And the fleshe of the thankoffrynge in hys peaceoffrynges shalbe eaten the same daye that it is offred. And let hym laye vp nothynge of it vntyll the morowe. ¹⁶ But yf he offre hys sacrifyce by reason of a vowe, or of hys awne frewyll, it shall be eaten the same daye that he offreth hys sacrifyce. And yf ought remayne vntyll the morowe, it maye be eaten: ¹⁷ but as moche of the offered fleshe as remayneth vnto the thyrde daye, shalbe burnt wyth fyre.

¹³ And the Preastes made a lawe for the people, that whensoeuer any man offered any offerynge, the Preastes ladd came, while the fleshe was in sething, & a fleshoke wyth thre tethe in his hand, ¹⁴ and thrust it into the panne: ketle, caldren, or potte. And all that the fleshe hoke brought vp, that the Preaste toke awaye. And so they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thyther to Silo. ¹⁵ Yee & therto, before they burnt the fatte, the Preastes ladd came and sayd to the man that offered: geue flesh that I maye dresse it for the Preaste, for he wyll not haue sodden fleshe of the, but rawe. ¹⁶ And yf any man sayde vnto hym: let them burne the fatt according to the daye, & then take as moche as thine herte desyreth. The ladd wold answere him, yee, thou shalt geue it me now: and yf thou wylt not, I wyll take it with violence.

¹² And the maydens answered them, yee, beholde, he is before you. Make hast nowe, for he cam thys daye to the cyte for there is an offerynge of the people this daye in the hill. ¹³ When ye be come into the cytie, ye shall fynde hym strayght waye, yer he go vp to the hyll to eate: for the people wyll not eate vntyll he come, because he doth blesse the offering. And then eate they that be bydden to the feast. Nowe therfore get you vp, for this daye shall ye fynde hym.

³ of hys sonne, whych was borne of the seed of Dauid after the flesshe:

¹ What shall we saye then, that Abraham oure father (as pertaynynge to the flesshe) dyd fynde?

¹² and that he myght be father of circumcisyon, not vnto them onely whych came of the circumcised, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the fayth that was in oure father Abraham, before the tyme of circumcisyon.

³ For I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Chryst, for my brethren (my kynsmen as pertaynynge to the flesshe) ⁴ which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcyon, and the glorye, and the couenauntes and the lawe that was geuen, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses: ⁵ whose also are the fathers, and they of whom (as concernynge the flesshe) Christ came, which is God in all thynges to be praysed for euer Amen. ⁶ I speake not these thynges, as though the wordes of God had take none effecte. For they are not all Israelites, which are of Israell: ⁷ nether are they all chyldren strayght waye, that are the seed of Abraham. But in Isaac shall thy seed be called: ⁸ that is to saye: they which are the chyldren of the flesshe, are not the children of God. But they which be the chyldren of promes, are counted the seede.

¹³ Do ye not knowe, howe that they which minister aboute holy thinges lyue of the sacrifyce? They which wayte of the temple, are partakers of the temple.

¹⁸ Seynge that many reioyce after the flesshe, I wyll reioyce also. ¹⁹ For ye suffre foles gladly, seynge ye youre selues are wyse. ²⁰ For ye suffre yf a man bryng you into bondage, yf a man deuoure, yf a man take yf a man exalte him selfe, yf a man smyte you on the face. ²¹ I speake as concerning rebuke, as though we had bene weake, Howbeit, wherinsoeuer eny man dare be bolde (I speake folyshly) I dare be bolde also. ²² They are Ebrues, euen so am I. They are Israelites, euen so am I. They are the seede of Abraham, euen so am I.

¹⁶ And as many as walke accordynge to thys rule, peace be on them and mercy, & vpon Israell, that pertayneth to God.

¹¹ Wherfore, remember that ye beynge in tyme passed gentyls in the flesshe, were called vncircumcisyon from that whych is called circumcisyon in the flesshe, which circumcision is made by handes: ¹² remember (I saye) that at that tyme ye were without Chryst, beynge aliauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and straungers from the testamentes of the promes hauynge no hope, and beynge with out God in this worlde.

³ For we are circumcisyon, which serue God in the sprete, and reioyce in Chryst Iesu, and haue no confydence in the flesshe: ⁴ though I myght also reioyce in the flesshe. If eny other man thynketh that he hath wherof he might trust in the flesshe: I haue more: ⁵ beynge circumcysed the eyght daye, of the kynred of Israel, of the trybe of Beniamin an Ebrue borne of the Ebrues as concernynge the lawe, a Pharisaye:

²¹ They haue angred me wyth that whych is no God, and prouoked me wyth their vanyties. And I also wyll prouoke them with those whych are no people, I wyll anger them wyth a folyshe nacion.

¹⁷ All people in comparyson of him are rekened as nothing, yf they be compared with him lesse then nothyng and as it that is not.

²⁹ Lo, wicked are they & vayne, wt the thinges also that they take in hand: yee, their ymages are but wynde & vayne thinges.

²⁸ And vyle thynges of the worlde, & thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, yee and thinges of no reputacyon, for to brynge to nought thynges of reputacyon,

⁷ So then, nether is he that planteth eny thyng, nether he that watreth, but God that geueth the encreace.

⁴ As concernyng the eatyng of those thynges that are offred vnto ydols, we are sure, that the ymage is nothing in the worlde and that ther is none other God, but one.

² And though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode all secretes, and all knowledge: yee yf I haue all fayth, so that I can moue mountayns oute of their places, and yet haue no loue, I am nothynge.

¹¹ Therfore, haue I delectacion in infirmityes, in rebukes, in necessities, in persecucyons, in anguysshes for Chrystes sake. For when I am weake, then am I stronge.

⁷ And lett them no moare offer their offeringes vnto deuyls, after whom they haue gone a whorynge. Thys shalbe an ordynaunce for euer vnto them in their generacyons.

¹⁶ They prouoked hym to angre with straunge goddes: euen wt abhominacyons prouoked they him ¹⁷ They offered vnto deuels, and not to God, euen to goddes whom they knewe not: to newe goddes that came newly vp, whom their fathers feared not.

¹⁵ And he ordeyned hym prestes for the hylaultares, for the deuylles and for the calues which he had made.

³⁷ Yee they offred their sonnes and their daughters vnto deuel ³⁸ And shed innocent bloude, euen the bloude of their sonnes & of their daughters, whom they offred vnto the ydoles of Canaan, and the lande was defyled with bloud. ³⁹ Thus were they stayned with their awne worckes, and went a whorynge wyth their awne inuencions.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blynded the myndes of them which beleue not, lest the lyght of the gospell of the glory of Christ (whych is the ymage of God) shulde shyne vnto them.

²⁰ And the remanaunt of the men whych were not kylled by these plages, repented not of the dedes of their handes that they shulde not worshyppe deuyls, & ymages of golde and syluer, and brasse, and stone, and of wood, whych nether can se, nether heare, nether go.

³⁷ And he shall saye wher are their goddes? their God, in whom they trusted? ³⁸ The fat of whose sacrifyces they dyd eate and drancke the wyne of their dryncke offringes? let them ryse vp and helpe you, and be youre proteccyon.

²¹ And Elia came vnto all the people, and sayde: howe longe halte ye betwene two opynions? If the Lord be God, folowe hym: but yf Baal be he, then go after hym. And the people answered hym not one worde.

¹¹ But as for you, ye are they that haue forsaken the Lord, and forgotten my holy hill. Ye haue set vp an aulter vnto Iuppiter, & geuen rych dryncke offerynges vnto the planettes.

²⁴ No man can serue two masters. For ether he shal hate the one and loue the other, or els leane to the one, and despyse the other: ye cannot serue God and Mammon.

¹⁰ For yf some man se the which hast knowledge, syt & eate of meate offred vnto ymages, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those thynges, which are offered to ymages.

¹⁶ Is not the cupp of blessynge which we blesse, partakynge of the bloude of Christ?

¹⁵ Or what concorde hath Christ with Beliall? Ether what parte hath he that beleueth, with an infidell? ¹⁶ Or how agreeth the temple of God with Images for ye are the temple of the lyuinge God, as sayde God? I wyll dwell amonge them, & walcke amonge them, and wylbe their God: & they shalbe my people. ¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amonge them, and separate youre selues from them (sayth the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receaue you,

⁵ Thou shalt not worshyppe them, nether serue them: for I the Lorde thy God, am a gelouse God, and vyset the synne of the fathers vpon the chyldren vnto the thyrde and fourth generacyon of them that hate me:

¹⁴ Thou shalt worshyp no straunge God. For the Lorde is called gelous, because he is a gelous God:

²⁴ For the Lorde thy God is a consumynge fyre, and a gelouse God.

¹⁵ For the Lorde thy God is a gelouse God amonge you, lest the countenaunce of the Lorde thy God be moued to wrath agaynst the, and destroye the from of the erth.

¹⁶ They prouoked hym to angre with straunge goddes: euen wt abhominacyons prouoked they him

¹⁹ And Iosua sayd vnto the people, Ye can not serue the Lorde: for he is an holye God, and a gelous God, and cannot beare youre iniquite and synne.

⁴ Concernynge soch as be wyse of herte, or myghtye in strength, who euer prospered, that toke part against hym?

⁹ Is thy power then lyke the power of God? Maketh thy voyce soch a sounde as hys doth? ¹⁰ Then arme thy selfe wyth thyne awne power, vp, decke the in thy ioly araye, ¹¹ powre out the indignacion of thy wrath: se that thou cast downe all the proude, ¹² loke well, that thou makest all soch as be stubburne, to obeye: treade downe all the vngodly in their place, ¹³ cast them downe into the dust, and couer their faces with darcknesse: ¹⁴ Then will I confesse vnto the also, that thyne awne right hande shall saue the.

⁵⁸ But turned their backes, and fell awaye lyke their forfathers, startynge asyde lyke a broken bowe.

¹⁰ The thinge that hath bene: is named allready, & knowen that it is euen man him selfe: nether maye he go to lawe wt hym that is myghtier then he.

⁹ Wo be vnto him that stryueth wt his maker, the potsherde with the potter. Sayeth the claye to the potter. What makest thou? or thy worke serueth for nothing?

¹⁴ Is thy herte able to endure it, or may thy handes defende them selues, in the tyme that I shall brynge vpon the? Euen I the Lorde that speake it, wyll brynge it also to passe.

¹⁸ Nether their syluer ner their golde shalbe able to deliuer them in that wrothful daye of the Lorde, but the whole lande shalbe consumed thorow the fyre of his gelousy: for he shall soone make clene ryddaunce of al them that dwell in the lande.

³¹ It is a fearfull thynge to fall into the handes of the lyuyng God.

¹⁵ If thy brother be greued wyth thy meate, nowe walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not hym wyth thy meate, for whom Chryst dyed.

¹⁹ Let vs therfore folowe those thinges which make for peace, and thynges wherwith one maye edifye another. ²⁰ Destroye not the worke of God for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is euyll for the man: which eateth wyth hurte of conscience.

¹ We whych are stronge ought to beare the fraylnes of them, whych are weake, and not to stonde in oure awne consaytes. ² Let euery man please hys neyghbour vnto hys welth and edifyinge.

¹² I maye do all thynges, but all thynges are not profytable. I maye do all thynges: but I will be brought vnder no mans power.

⁹ But take hede, lest by any meanes this libertie of yours be an occasion of falling to them that are weake.

³ But he that prophesieth, speaketh vnto men for their edifyinge, for their exhortacion and for their comforte. ⁴ He that speaketh with the tonge, proffiteth him selfe: he that prophesieth, edifyeth the congregacion ⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesyeth, then he that speaketh with tonges, except he expounde it: that the congregacion maye haue edifying.

¹² Euen so ye (for as moche as ye couet spretuall gyftes) seke, that ye maye excell, vnto the edifyinge of the congregacyon.

¹⁷ Thou verely geuest thankes well, but the other is not edified.

²⁶ How is it then brethren? As oft as ye come together, euery one of you hath a songe, hath a doctrine, hath a tonge, hath a reuelacyon, hath an interpretacyon. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge:

²⁹ Let no fylthy communicacion procede out of youre mouth: but that which is good to edifye wt all, as oft as nede is that it maye minister grace vnto the hearers.

¹¹ Wherfore, comforte your selues together, & edifye euery one another, euen as ye do.

⁴ nether geue hede to fables & endles genealogyes whych brede doubtes more then Godlye edifyinge, which is by fayth

¹⁹ For though I be fre from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruaunt vnto all men, that I myght wynne the moo. ²⁰ Unto the Iewes, I became as a Iewe, to wynne the Iewes. To them that were vnder the lawe, was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe, to wynne them that were vnder the lawe. ²¹ To them that were wythout lawe, became I as though I had bene wythout lawe (when I was not without lawe as perteyning to God, but vnder the lawe of Chryst) to wynne them that were wythout lawe. ²² To the weake became I as weake, to wynne the weake: In all thinges I fasshyoned my selfe to all men, to saue at the least waye some. ²³ And this I do for the gospels sake, that I myght haue my parte therof.

³³ euen as I please all men in all thynges, not sekynge myne awne profet, but the profet of many, that they myght be saued.

⁵ seketh not her awne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh no euyll,

¹⁴ For what is it, wherin ye were inferyors vnto other congregacions, except it be herin, that I was not chargeable vnto you. Forgeue me thys wronge.

⁴ Loke not ye euery man on hys awne thinges, but euery man on the thinges that are other mens. ⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was also in Christ Iesu:

²¹ For all other seke theyr awne, and not the thynges which are Iesus Christes.

¹⁵ And the voyce spake vnto him agayne the second tyme: what God hath clensed, that call not thou commen.

⁵ Wherfore, ye must nedes obeye, not onely for feare of vengeaunce: but also because of conscience.

¹⁴ For I knowe, and am full certifyed by the Lorde Iesus, that ther is nothynge comen of it selfe: but vnto hym that iudgeth it to be comen: to hym is it comen.

²⁷ If eny of them whych beleue not, byd you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go, whatsoeuer is sett before you, eate, askynge no questyon for conscience sake. ²⁸ But and yf eny man saye vnto you: thys is offred vnto ymages, eate not of it for hys sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The erth is the Lordes and all that therin is. ²⁹ Conscience I saye, not thyne, but of the other. For why is my liberte, iudged of another mannes conscience?

⁴ For all the creatures of God are good, & nothynge to be refused, yf it be receaued with thankesgeuynge.

¹⁵ Unto the pure, are all thynges pure: but vnto them that are defyled and vnbeleuynge, is nothynge pure: but euen the mynde and conscience of them is defyled.

⁵ Nowe therfore yf ye wyll heare my voyce in dede, and kepe myne appoyntement: ye shall be myne awne, aboue all nacyons, for all the erth is myne.

¹⁴ Beholde, heauen and the heauen of heauens is the Lordes thy God, and the erth wyth all that therin is:

¹¹ Or who hath geuen me any thyng afore hande, that I maye rewarde him agayne? All thynges vnder heauen are myne:

¹ A Psalme of Dauid. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therin is: the compasse of the worlde, and they that dwell therin.

¹² If I be hongrye I wyll not tell the: for the whole worlde is myne, and all that therin is.

²⁸ But and yf eny man saye vnto you: thys is offred vnto ymages, eate not of it for hys sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The erth is the Lordes and all that therin is.

¹⁷ Charge them which are ryche in this world, that they be not hye mynded, ner trust in vncertayne ryches, but in the lyuinge God (which geueth vs aboundauntly all thynges to enioye them)

²⁹ And Leuy made hym a greate feaste in his awne house. And ther was a great companye of publicans and of other that sate at meate, with them. ³⁰ And the scribes and pharises murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do ye eate and drincke with publicans and sinners?

⁷ And in the same house tary styll, eatyng and drinckyng soch as they geue: For the labourer is worthy of hys rewarde. Go not from house to house, ⁸ & into whatsoeuer cytie ye entre, & they receaue you, eate soch thynges as are set before you,

²³ And brynge hyther that fatt caulfe, and kyll it, and let vs eate and be mery:

⁷ And when they sawe it, they all grudged, sayinge: He is gone in to tary with a man that is a synner.

⁹ I wrote vnto you in a pistle, that ye shuld not company wyth fornicatours. ¹⁰ And I meant not at all of the fornicatours of this world, ether of the coueteous, or extorsyoners, ether the ydolaters: for then must ye nedes haue gone out of the world. ¹¹ But now I dyd write vnto you, that ye company not together, yf eny that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or coueteous, or a worshypper of ymages, ether a raylar, ether a dronckard, or an extorcionar: wyth hym that is soche, se that ye eate not.

²⁵ Whatsoeuer is solde in the flesshe market, that eate, and aske no questyon for conscyence sake.

¹³ We wryte none other thynges vnto you, then that ye reade & also knowe. Yee, and I trust ye shall fynde vs vnto the ende, euen as ye haue founde vs partly:

² but haue cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestye, and walke not in craftynes, nether handle we the worde of God disceatfully, but open the trueth, & reporte oure selues to euery mannes conscience in the syght of God

¹¹ Seynge then that we knowe, how the Lorde is to be feared, we fare fayre wyth men. For we are knowen well ynough vnto God. I trust also that we are knowen in youre consciences.

²⁹ Moses sayde vnto him: assone as I am out of the citye, I will sprede abrode my handes vnto the Lorde, & the thonder shall cease. nether shall there be eny more hayle, that thou mayst knowe howe that the erth is the Lordes.

¹⁶ All the whole heauens are the Lordes, the earth hath he geuen vnto the children of men.

⁵ I am he that made the earth, the men and the catell that are vpon the grounde, with my great power and outstretched arme, and haue geuen it vnto whom it pleased me. ⁶ And now will I delyuer all these landes into the power of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my seruaunt. The beastes also of the felde shall I geue hym to do hym seruyce.

³¹ Therfore, take no thought, saying: what shall we eate, or what shall we dryncke, or wherwith shall we be clothed? ³² after all these thynges do the gentyls seke. For youre heuenly father knoweth, that ye haue nede of all these thynges.

¹⁰ For yf some man se the which hast knowledge, syt & eate of meate offred vnto ymages, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those thynges, which are offered to ymages. ¹¹ And so thorow thy knowledge shall the weake brother perysshe, for whom Christ dyed. ¹² When ye synne so agaynst the brethren, & wounde their weake conscience, ye synne agaynst Christ. ¹³ Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother, I will neuer eate flesshe lest I shulde offende my brother.

²⁶ For the erth is the Lordes, and all that therin is.

¹⁵ If thy brother be greued wyth thy meate, nowe walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not hym wyth thy meate, for whom Chryst dyed. ¹⁶ Cause not youre treasure to be euyll spoken of. ¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke: but ryghtwesnes, and peace and ioye in the holy ghost. ¹⁸ For he that in these thinges serueth Chryst, pleaseth God, and is commended of men. ¹⁹ Let vs therfore folowe those thinges which make for peace, and thynges wherwith one maye edifye another. ²⁰ Destroye not the worke of God for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is euyll for the man: which eateth wyth hurte of conscience. ²¹ It is good nether to eate flesshe, nether to drinke wyne nether eny thynge, wherby thy brother stombleth, ether falleth, or is made weake.

⁹ But take hede, lest by any meanes this libertie of yours be an occasion of falling to them that are weake.

¹⁹ For though I be fre from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruaunt vnto all men, that I myght wynne the moo.

³² Se that ye geue none occasyon of euyll, nether to the Iewes, nor yet to the gentyls, nether to the congregacyon of God:

²¹ and make prouisyon for honest thinges: not onely in the syght of the Lorde: but also in the syght of men.

²² Abstayne from all euell appearaunce.

⁶ He that obserueth the daye, doeth it vnto the Lorde. And he that doth not obserue the daye, doeth it for the Lorde also. He that eateth, doth it to please the Lorde, for he geueth God thankes.

³ forbyddynge to mary, & commaundynge to abstayne from meates which God hath created to be receaued with geuynge thanckes, of them whych beleue, & knowe the trueth. ⁴ For all the creatures of God are good, & nothynge to be refused, yf it be receaued with thankesgeuynge.

⁷ And there ye shall eate before the Lorde youre God, & ye shall reioyse in all that ye put youre hande vnto both ye and youre housholdes, wherin the Lord thy God hath blessed the.

¹² And ye shall reioyse before the Lorde youre God, ye and youre sonnes, & youre daughters, youre seruauntes and youre maydens, and the Leuite that is wythin youre gates for asmoch as he hath no parte nor enheritaunce wyth you.

¹⁸ but thou must eate them before the Lorde thy God, in the place which the Lorde thy God hath chosen: thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, thy seruaunte and thy mayde, & the Leuite that is wythin thy gates: and thou shalt reioyse before the Lorde thy God, in all that thou puttest thyne hande to.

¹⁶ And so the people went forth, and sett them, and made them bothes, euery one vpon the rofe of his house, & in theyr courtes, & in the courtes of the house of God, and in the strete by the watergate, and in the strete by porte Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the congregacion of them that were come agayne out of the captiuite, made bothes, & sat vnder the bothes: for sence the tyme of Iosua the sonne of Nun vnto this daye, had not the chyldren of Israel done so, and ther was very greate gladnesse. ¹⁸ And euery daye from the fyrst daye vnto the last, red Esdras in the boke of the lawe of God. And seuen dayes helde they the feast, and on the eyght daye, they geathered together, accordinge vnto the maner.

⁵ Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the prestes, and saye: when ye fasted and mourned in the fyfth & seuenth moneth (now this .lxx. yeares) dyd ye fast vnto me? ⁶ When ye dyd eate also and droncke, dyd ye not eate & dryncke for youre awne selues?

⁴¹ Neuerthelesse, geue almose of that ye haue, and behold, all thinges are cleane vnto you.

³⁴ There is difference betwene a virgin & a wife. The syngle woman careth for the thinges that are of the Lorde, that she maye be holy both in bodye & also in sprete. Agayne: she that is maryed, careth for the thinges that pertayne to the worlde, how she maye please her husbande.

¹⁷ And whatsouer ye do (in worde or dede) do all in the name of the Lord Iesu, geuynge thankes to God the father by hym.

²³ And whatsoeuer ye do, do it hertely, as, though ye dyd it to the Lord, and not vnto men:

¹¹ If eny man speake, let him talke as the wordes of God. If eny man mynister, let him do it as of the abylite, whych God mynystreth vnto hym. That God in all thynges maye be glorifyed thorow Iesus Christ, to whom be prayse and dominion for euer and euer. Amen.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.

¹⁶ And therfore study I to haue allwaye a cleare conscience toward God, and towarde men.

¹³ Let vs not therfore iudge one another eny more. But iudge thys rather, that no man put a stomblynge blocke, or an occasyon to fall in hys brothers waye.

¹³ Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother, I will neuer eate flesshe lest I shulde offende my brother.

²² Despyse ye the congregacion of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I saye vnto you? shal I prayse you? In this prayse I you not.

³ Lett vs geue no occasyon of euyll, that in oure offyce be founde no faute:

¹⁰ that ye maye accepte the thynges that are most excellent, that ye maye be pure, and soche, as offende no man vntyll the daye of Christ:

⁵ For yf a man cannot rule his awne house, howe shall he care for the congregacyon of God?

¹⁵ but and yf I tarie longe, that then thou mayst yet haue knowledge, howe thou oughtest to behaue thy selfe in the house of God, whych is the congregacyon of the lyuynge God, the pyllar & grounde of trueth.

¹⁴ yf by any meane I maye prouoke them which are my flesshe, and myght saue some of them.

² Let euery man please hys neyghbour vnto hys welth and edifyinge. ³ For Christ pleased not him selfe: but as it is written. The rebukes of them which rebuked the, fell on me.

²⁴ Let no man seke that whych is hys awne: but let euery man seke that whych belongeth to another:

²⁸ besyde the thinges which outwardly happen vnto me. I am combred daylye, and do care for all congregacyons. ²⁹ Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, & I burne not?

¹⁰ Do I now perswade men, or God? Other do I seke to please men? For yf I had hythereto studyed to please men, I were not the seruaunt of Christ.
