What sonne is he whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ If ye be not vnder correccion (where of all are part takers) then are ye bastardes, and not sonnes. ⁹ Therfore seyng we haue had fathers of our flesshe which corrected vs, & we gaue them reuerence: shall we not moch rather be in subieccion vnto the father of spirites, & lyue? ¹⁰ And they verely for a feaw dayes, nurtred vs after theyr awne pleasure: but he nurteth vs for our profit, to the intent that he maye mynister of his holynes vnto vs. ¹¹ No maner chastisyng for the present tyme semeth to be ioyous, but greueous: neuertheles afterwarde, it bringeth the quyet frute of ryghtewesnes, vnto them which are exercysed therby.

²⁰ But the Lorde hath taken you, & brought you out of the yron fornace: euen out of Egypte, to be vnto him a people and enheritaunce, as ye be this daye.

¹³ And the Egyptians helde the chyldren of Israel in bondage without mercye.

²³ And it chaunced in processe of tyme, that the kynge of Egypte dyed, and the chyldren of Israel syghed by the reason of bondage, and cryed.

⁷ ye shall geue the people no more strawe, to make brycke wyth all, (as ye dyd in tyme passed.) let them goo and gather them strawe them selues ⁸ and the nombre of brycke whyche they were wont to make in tyme passed, laye vnto their charges also, and mynysh nothynge therof. For they be ydell and therfore crye sayinge: we wyll goo & do sacrifyce vnto oure God. ⁹ They must haue more worke layed vpon them, that they maye laboure therin, & not regarde vayne wordes. ¹⁰ Than went the taskemasters of the people and the offycers out: and tolde the people Thus sayeth Pharao: I wyll geue you no moare strawe, ¹¹ goo youre selues and gather you strawe where ye can fynde it, yet shall none of youre laboure be minyshed. ¹² And so were the people scatered abrode thorowe out all the lande of Egypte for to gather stubbyll in stead of strawe. ¹³ And the taskemasters hasted them forwarde sayinge: fulfyll youre worke daye by daye, euen as yf ye had strawe. ¹⁴ And the offycers of the chyldren of Israel whych Pharaos taskemasters had sett ouer them, were beaten. And they sayde vnto them: wherfore haue ye not fulfylled youre taske in makinge brycke, both yesterdaye and to daye, as well as in tymes past? ¹⁵ The offycers also of the chyldren of Israel came & complayned vnto Pharao, sayinge: wherfore dealest thou thus wyth thy seruauntes? ¹⁶ there is no strawe geuen vnto thy seruauntes, and they saye vnto vs: make brycke. And thy seruauntes are beaten, and thy people is foule intreated. ¹⁷ He sayde: ydell ar ye, ydell, and therfore ye saye: We wyll goo and do sacrifyce vnto the Lorde. ¹⁸ Goo therfore nowe and worke, and ther shall no strawe be geuen you, and yet shall ye delyuer the hole tale of brycke. ¹⁹ And the offycers of the chyldren of Israel dyd wyth heuynes loke on them that sayde: ye shall minyshe nothynge of youre daylye makynge of brycke. ²⁰ And they mett Moses and Aaron, which stode in there waye as they came out from Pharao, ²¹ & sayde vnto them: The Lorde loke vnto you and iudge you, whych hath made the sauoure of vs stincke in the eyes of Pharao & in the eyes of his seruauntes, and haue put a swerde in their hande to slee vs.

⁹ And Moses tolde the chyldren of Israel euen so: But they harkened not vnto Moses, for anguyshe of sprete and for cruel bondage.

² I am the Lorde thy God, which haue brought the out of the lande of Egipte, oute of the house of bondage.

⁴³ Thou shalt not raygne ouer hym cruelly, but shalt feare thy God.

⁴⁶ These shalbe youre possessyon, and ye shall take them as inheritaunce for youre chyldren after you, to possesse them, they shalbe youre bondmen for euer. But ouer youre brethren the chyldren of Israel, ye shall not raygne one ouer another cruelly.

⁵³ and he shalbe with hym yeare by yeare as an hyred seruaunte & the other shall not raygne cruelly ouer him in thy sighte.

²⁰ And she answered them: call me not Naomi but call me Mara, for the Allmyghtye hath made me verye bytter.

⁶ Which when he is wroth smyteth the people wt continual strokes, & tyrannouselye reignethe ouer the hethen whom he persecuted without compassion.

²³ but I wyll putt it into their hande that trouble the: whych haue spoken to thy soule: stoupe downe, that we maye go ouer the: & thou laydest thy body euen wyth the grounde, and as the strete to go vpon.

⁵ And nowe what profyt is it to me (sayth the Lorde) that my people is frely caryed awaye, and brought in to heuynes by their rulers, & my name euer still blasphemed? sayeth the Lorde?

⁶ Doth not this fastynge rather please me, that thou loose him out of bondage, that is in thy daunger: that thou breake the ooth of wycked bargaynes, that thou lett the oppressed go fre, and take from them all maner of burthens:

³³ Thus sayth the Lorde of hoostes: The children of Israel and Iuda suffer violence together. All they that haue them in captiuitie, kept them fast, and wyl not let them go, ³⁴ but their auenger and redemer is mightye, whose name is the Lorde of hoostes: he shall mainteyne their cause, he shall make the lande shake, and iudge them that dwell therin, one with another.

³ ye eate the flesh of my people, and flay of theyr skynne: ye breake theyr bones, ye choppe them in peces as it were in to a cauldron, & as flesh into a pot

¹⁴ Drawe water now agaynst thou be beseged, make vp thy strong holdes go into the claye, tempre the morter, make strong brick:

³⁴ I haue perfectlye sene the affliccyon of my people, which is in Egypte, and I haue heard theyr gronyng, and am come downe to delyuer them. And nowe come, and I wyll sende the into Egypte.

²² And Pharao charged all hys people, sayinge: All the menchyldren that are borne, cast into the ryuer, and saue the maydechyldren alyue.

³⁸ But when the husbandmen sawe the sonne, they sayd amonge them selues: This is the heyre: come, let vs kyll him, & let vs enioye his inheritaunce

⁴ and hys tayle drue the thyrde parte of the starres and cast them to the erth. And the dragon stode before the woman whych was redy to be delyuered: for to deuoure her chylde as sone as it were borne.

¹¹ Abraham answered. For I sayde: surely the feare of God is not in thys place, & they shall sley me for my wyfes sake:

¹⁸ And Ioseph sayde vnto them the thryde daye: Thys doo and lyue, for I feare God.

²¹ And it fortuned because the midwyues feared God, he made them houses.

¹⁵ For the olde captaynes that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread and wyne, and .xl. sycles of syluer: yee, and their seruauntes had oppressed the people. But so dyd not I, and that because of the feare of God.

¹⁹ Let me not be confounded, O Lorde, for I haue called vpon the: let the vngodly be put to confusion, and be put to sylence in the graue.

¹³ The feare of the Lorde abhorreth wyckednesse, pryde dysdayne, and the euell waye: and a mouth that speaketh wycked thynges, I vtterly abhorre.

⁶ With louinge mercy & faythfulnesse, synnes be forgeuen, & who so feareth the Lord eschueth euell.

¹¹ Deliuer them that go vnto death, & are led awaye to be slayne, & be not neglygent therin yf thou be able to do them good. ¹² If thou wilt saye: I knewe not of it. Thinkest thou that he which made the hertes, doth not considre it? & that he which regardeth thy soule, seeth it not? Shall not be recompence euery man according to his worckes?

¹² But though an euell persone offende an hundred tymes, & God differ gyuinge him longe lyfe: yet am I sure, that it shal go well wt them that feare God, because they haue him before their eyes.

¹³ Therfore beware (my sonne) of that doctrine that is besyde thys: for to make many bokes it is an endles worke: and to loude cryinge weryeth the bodye.

¹⁶ Sydrach, Misach and Abednago answered the kynge, & sayde: O Nabuchodonosor, we ought not to consente vnto the in this matter, for why? 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. ¹⁸ And though he wyll not, yet shalt thou knowe (O kyng) that we will not serue thy goddes, ner do reuerence to the Image, which thou hast set vp.

¹³ Then answered they, and sayde vnto the kynge: Daniel one of the presoners of Iuda O kyng, regardeth nether the, ner thy statute, that thou hast made, but maketh his peticyon thre tymes a daye.

¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed, & can haue no right of the lawe: for why? they folowe the doctrynes of vngodly men.

¹⁶ Ye kepe the ordinaunces of Amri, and all the customes of the house of Ahab: ye folowe their pleasures, therfore wyll I make the waste, and cause thy inhabyters to be abhorred, O my people: & thus shalt thou beare thyne awne shame.

²⁸ And feare ye not them which kyll the body but are not able to kyll the soule. But rather feare him, which is able to destroye both soule and body into hell.

⁵ But I will shewe you, whom ye shall feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power to cast into hell. Yee, I saye vnto you: feare him.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commaunded them, that in no wyse they shulde speake ner teach in the name of Iesu. ¹⁹ But Peter & Iohn answered and sayde vnto them: whether it be ryght in the sight of God, to herken vnto you more then to God, iudge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot but speake, that which we haue sene & heard.

²⁹ Peter and the other Apostles answered, & sayde: We ought more to obey God then men.

²⁸ Nowe had Absalom commaunded his younge men, sayenge: marke when Amnons hert is mery wyth wyne & when I byd you smyte Amnon, then kyll hym: and feare not, haue not I bydden you? be bolde therfore, & playe the men.

⁴ Lyke as when a kynge geueth a charge, his commaundement is myghtye: Euen so who maye saye vnto him: what doest thou?

⁴ And the woman toke the two men & hid them. And sayde thus: in dede there came men vnto me, but I wist not whence they were. ⁵ And aboute the tyme of the shuttynge of the gate when it was darcke, the men went out, whether the men went I wot not: folowe ye after them quycklye, & ye shall ouer take them. ⁶ But she brought them vp to the rooffe of the house, and hydd them wt the stalckes of flaxe, which she had lyinge abroade vpon the rooffe. ⁷ And the men of the cytye pursued after them, the waye to Iordan, euen vnto the ferie, and as sone as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shutt the gate. ⁸ And or euer they were a slepe, she came vp vnto them vpon the rooffe, ⁹ & sayde vnto the men: I knowe, that the Lorde hathe geuen you the lande for the feare of you is fallen vpon vs, & the enhabiters of the land faynt at the presence of you. ¹⁰ For we haue heard, how the Lorde dried vp the water of the redd see before you when you came out of Egypte, & what you dyd vnto the two kynges of the Amorites, that were on the other side Iordan Sehon, & Og, whom ye vtterlye destroyed. ¹¹ And as sone as we had heard these thynges oure hertes dyd fainte. And there remayned no moare courage in any man at the presence of you. For the Lord youre God, he is the God in heauen aboue, & on the erth benethe. ¹² Now therfore (I pray you) sweare vnto me by the Lorde, that as I haue shewed you mercie, ye shall also shewe mercie vnto my fathers house, & geue me a true token. ¹³ And that ye shall saue alyue, bothe my father, & my mother, my brethren, & my systers, and all that they haue. And that ye shall delyuer oure soules from death. ¹⁴ And the men answered her: oure liues for you to dye, yf ye vtter not this oure busines. And when the Lord hathe geuen vs the land, we will deale mercifully & truly with the. ¹⁵ And then she lett them downe by a coarde, thorow a windowe: For her house was by the towne wall. And she dwelt by the towne wall. ¹⁶ And she sayd vnto them: gett you into the mountayne, lest the pursuers mete you, & hyde youre selues there thre dayes, vntill the pursuars be returned and then shall ye goo youre awne waye. ¹⁷ And the men sayde vnto her: we will be blamelesse of this thy othe, which thou hast made vs sweare. ¹⁸ Beholde, when we come into the lande, thou shalt bynde this purple coarde in the window, which thou lattest vs downe bye. And thou shalt bring thy father, & thy mother, thy brethren, and all thy fathers houshold, euen into thy house. ¹⁹ And then whosoeuer doth go out at the dores of thy house, into the streat, his bloude shalbe vpon his awne head, & we wilbe giltlesse. And whosoeuer shalbe with the in the house, hys bloude shall be on oure heade, yf any mannes hande touche him: ²⁰ And yf thou vtter these oure wordes, we wilbe quyte of thy othe, which thou hast made vs sweare. ²¹ And she sayde: accordinge vnto youre wordes, so be it: and she sent them awaye to departe. And she bounde the purple coarde in the window. ²² And they departed, and came into the mountayne, and there aboade thre dayes, vntill the pursuars were returned. And the pursuars sought them thorowe out all the waye but founde them not. ²³ And the two men returned, & descended from the mountayne, and passed ouer, and came to Iosua the sonne of Nun, and tolde hym all that had chaunced them. ²⁴ And they sayd vnto Iosua: the Lord truly hathe delyuered into oure handes all the lande, and all the inhabiters of the contrey faynte at the presence of vs.

² And Dauid sayde to Ahimelech the preaste: the kynge hath commaunded me to do a certeyn thynge, and hath sayde vnto me, let no man knowe where aboute I sende the, and what I haue commannded the to do. And I haue appoynted my seruauntes, to soche and soche places.

¹⁹ And a woman toke and sprede a couerlet ouer the welles mouth, and strawed fyrmentie corne theron. And the thynge was not spyed. ²⁰ And when Absaloms seruauntes came to the wyfe to the house, they sayde. Where is Ahimaaz & Ionathas? The woman answered them they be gone ouer the lytell broke of water. And when they had sought them and coulde not fynde them, they returned to Ierusalem.

⁷ and the chyldren of Israel grewe, encreased, multiplyed, and waxed exceadinge myghtye: and the lande was full of them.

¹² But the more they vexed them, the moare they multiplyed and grewe, so that they abhorred the chyldren of Israel.

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that consydreth the poore the Lorde shall delyuer hym in the tyme of trouble. ² The Lorde preserue hym, & kepe him aliue: that he maye be blessed vpon earth, & delyuer not thou hym in to the wyll of hys enemyes.

⁵ For thou, O Lord, hast herde my desyres, and hast geuen an heritage vnto those that feare thy name.

⁹ For his saluacyon is nye them that feare him, that glory maye dwell in oure lande.

¹¹ For loke how hye the heauen is in comparison of the earth, so greate is hys mercy also towarde them that feare him.

⁵ He hath geuen meat vnto them that feare him, he shal euer be mindfull of hys couenaunt.

¹⁹ He wyll fulfyll the desyre of them that feare hym, he also wyll heare theyr crye, & will helpe them.

¹⁸ The labour of the vngodly prospereth not, but he that soweth ryghteousnes, shall receaue a sure rewarde.

¹⁷ He that hath pitye vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lorde: and loke what he layeth out, it shalbe payed hym agayne.

¹⁰ Byd the ryghteous do well, for they shall enioye the frutes of theyr studies.

⁴² And whosoeuer shall geue vnto one of these lytle ones to dryncke, a cuppe of colde water onely (in the name of a disciple) verely I saye vnyou, he shall not lose his rewarde.

⁴⁰ And the kyng shall answere, and saye vnto them: veryly I saye vnto you: in as moch as ye haue done it vnto one of the leest of these my brethren, ye haue done it to me.

⁵⁰ And his mercy is on them that feare him, from generacion to generacion.

¹⁰ For God is not vnryghteous that he shulde forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of loue, which loue ye shewe in his name, which haue ministred vnto the saynctes, and yet minister.

³⁵ And I wyll stere me vp a faythfull preste, that shall do accordynge to my herte and mynde: And I will buylde him a sure house. And he shall walke before myne anoynted for euer.

²⁸ Forgeue the trespace of thine handmayde, for the Lord will make my Lorde a sure house, because my Lord fyghteth the batayles of the Lorde, and there coulde none euel be founde in the in all thy dayes.

¹¹ sence the tyme that I sett Iudges ouer my people Israel. And I will geue the rest from all thine enemyes. And the Lord telleth the, that he wyll make the an howse. ¹² And when thy dayes he fulfilled, thou shalt slepe wyth thy fathers, and I wyll set vp thy seede after the, which shall procead out of thy bodye, & will stablyshe his kyngdome. ¹³ He shall bylde an house for my name, & I wyll stablyshe the seate of his kyngdome for euer.

²⁷ For thou, O Lord of Hostes, God of Israell, hast tolde in the eare of thy seruaunt, sayeng: I wyll bylde the an house And therfore hath thy seruaunt found in his harte, to praye this prayer vnto the. ²⁸ Therfore now Lord God, thou art God, and thy wordes must be true, thou that hast tolde this goodnesse vnto thy seruaunt. ²⁹ And now go to, and blesse the housse of thy seruaunt, that it maye contynew for euer before the. for thou. Lord God hast spoken it, and with thy blessyng shall the house of thy seruaunt be blessed for euer.

²⁴ Nowe therfore, as trulye as the Lorde lyueth, which hath ordeyned me, and set me on the seate of Dauid my father, and made me an house, as he promised, Adonia shall dye thys daye.

³⁸ And yf thou herken vnto all that I commaunde the, & wylt walke in my wayes & do that is ryght in my syght, that thou kepe my statutes and my commaundementes (as Dauid my seruaunt dyd) then wyll I be with the, & buylde the a sure house that shall contynewe, as I buylte for my seruaunt Dauid, and wyll geue Israel vnto the

³ Put thou thy trust in the Lorde, & be doinge good: dwell in the lande, and verely thou shalt be fedd.

¹ A songe of Salomon of the stayres. Except the Lorde buylde the house, their laboure is but lost that buylde it.

³ It is but lost laboure that ye haste to ryse vp early, and so late take rest, and eate the breade of carefulnesse: for so he gyueth hys beloued sleape.

³ Thorow wysdome is an house buyled, and wyth vnderstandynge is it sett vp.

² Go vnto the house of the Rechabites, & call them out, and bringe them to the house of the Lorde into some commodyous place, and geue then wyne to dryncke.

¹ And it fortuned after two yeres, that Pharao dreamed, and beholde, he stode by a ryuers syde,

¹⁶ when ye do the offyce of a mydwife to the women of the Ebrues and se in the byrth tyme that it is a boye, ye shall kyll it. But yf it be a daughter, it shall lyue.

¹⁹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, saye vnto Aaron: take thy staffe, and stretche out thyne hande ouer the waters of Egypte, ouer their streames, ouer their ryuers and pondes and all pooles of water, whych they haue, that they maye be bloude, and that there maye be bloud thorowe out all the lande of Egypte: both in vessels of wodd and also of stone. ²⁰ And Moses and Aaron dyd euen as the Lorde commaunded. And he lyfte vp the staffe and smote the waters that were in the ryuer in the syghte of Pharao and in the syghte of hys seruauntes, and all the water that was in the ryuer, turned into bloud. ²¹ And the fyshe that was in the ryuer dyed and the ryuer stanke: and the Egyptians coulde not dryncke of the waters of the ryuer. And there was bloude thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.

¹⁶ For their fete runne to euell: & are hasty to shed bloud.

¹⁶ For they cannot slepe, excepte they haue fyrst done some myschefe: nether take they anye reste, excepte they haue fyrst done some harme.

⁴ And the thyrde Angell shed out his vyall vpon the ryuers and fountaynes of waters, & they turned to bloud. ⁵ And I herde an Angell saye: Lorde, whych arte and wast, thou arte ryghteous & holy, because thou hast geuen soche iudgementes, ⁶ for they shed out the bloud of sainctes, and prophetes, & therfore hast thou geuen them bloud to dryncke: for they are worthy.
