¹ And it came to passe, when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayde vnto his discyples: ² ye knowe that after two dayes shalbe Easter, and the sonne of man shalbe delyuered ouer, to be crucifyed. ³ Then assembled together the chefe prestes & the scrybes & the elders of the people vnto the palace of the hye preste, (whych was called Cayphas) ⁴ and helde a counsell, that they myght take Iesus by suttelte, and kyll him. ⁵ But they sayd: not on the holy daye, lest there be an vproure amonge the people. ⁶ When Iesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ ther came vnto him a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of precious oyntment, and powred it on his heed, as he sate at the bourde. ⁸ But when his disciples sawe it, they had indignacyon, sayinge. Wherto serueth this wast? ⁹ This oyntment myght haue bene well solde, and geuen to the poore. ¹⁰ When Iesus vnderstode that, he sayde vnto them: why trouble ye the wooman? For she hath wrought a good worcke vpon me. ¹¹ For ye haue the poore all wayes, with you: But me shal ye not haue alwayes. ¹² And in that she hath cast this oyntment on my bodye, she dyd it to burye me. ¹³ Uerely I saye vnto you: wheresoeuer thys gospell shalbe preached in all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be tolde for a memoriall of her. ¹⁴ Then one of the twelue (which was called Iudas Iscarioth) went vnto the chefe prestes, ¹⁵ and sayd vnto them: what will ye geue me, and I wyll delyuer him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto hym thyrty peces of syluer. ¹⁶ And from that tyme forth, he sought oportunite to betraye him. ¹⁷ The fyrst daye of swete breed, the disciples came to Iesus, sayinge vnto him: where wilt thou that we prepare for the, to eate the passeouer? ¹⁸ And he sayd: go into the cytie, to soche a man, and saye vnto him, the master sayeth: my tyme is at hand, I will kepe myne Easter by the, wyth my disciples: ¹⁹ And the disciples dyd as Iesus had apoynted them, and they made ready the passeouer. ²⁰ When the euen was come, he sate doune wyth the twelue. ²¹ And as they dyd eate, he sayd: Uerely, I saye vnto you, that one of you shall betraye me. ²² And they were exceadynge sorowfull, and beganne euery one of them to saye vnto him: Lord, is it I? ²³ He answered and sayde: he that dyppeth hys hande with me in the disshe, the same shall betraye me. ²⁴ The sonne of man truly goeth, as it is written of him: but wo vnto that man, by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. It had bene good for that man, if he had not bene borne. ²⁵ Then Iudas which betrayed him, answered, and sayd: master, is it I? He sayde vnto him: thou hast sayd. 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.

² and brought him bounde and delyuered him vnto Poncius Pylate the debite.

¹ And anone in the dawninge the hye Prestes helde a counsell wt the elders & the Scrybes, & the whole congregacion, & bounde Iesus, & ledde him awaye, & deliuered him to Pilate.

¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe from me, that I myght take it agayne. ¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my self. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. Thys commaundement haue I receaued of my father.

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

¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree,

² and walke ye in loue euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God

⁷ Neuerthelesse he made hym selfe of no reputacion, takynge on hym the shape of a seruaunte, and became lyke vnto men, ⁸ and was founde in his apparell as a man. He humbled him selfe, and became obedient vnto the deeth, euen the deeth of the crosse.

²⁸ euen so Christ was once offered, to take awaye the sinnes of many, & vnto them that loke for hym shall he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacyon.

⁶ As for vs, we haue gone all astraye (like shepe) euery one hath turned his awne way. But the Lorde hath heaped together vpon him the iniquitie of vs all. ⁷ He suffred violence and was euell intreated, & dyd not yet open his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shall he be as styll as a lambe before the shearer, and not open hys mouth. ⁸ He was had awaye from preson hys cause not herde, and wythout eny iudgement: Whose generacyon yet who maye nombre? he was cut of from the grounde of the lyuynge: Whych punyshment dyd go vpon hym, for the transgressyon of my people, whych in deade had deserued that punyshment, ⁹ Hys graue was geuen hym wyth the condemned, and wyth the ryche man at hys deeth. Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnryght, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in hys mouth. ¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande. ¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes. ¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustifyed thorow workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter? ²² Thou seest, how that fayth wrought wt his dedes, & through the dedes was the fayth made parfecte: ²³ & the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghtewesnes: & he was called the frende of God.

⁷ And the Angell of the Lorde founde her besyde a fountayne of water in the wyldernes: euen by the well that is in the waye to Sur.

⁹ And the angell of the Lorde sayde vnto her: returne to thy mastresse againe, & submytte thy selfe vnder her handes. ¹⁰ And agayne, the angell of the Lorde sayde vnto her: In encreasinge I wyll encrease thy seed and it shall not be nombred for multitude.

¹⁷ And God herde the voyce of the chylde. And the angell of God called Hagar oute of heauen and sayde vnto her: what ayleth the Hagar? Feare not, for God hath herde the voyce of the childe where he lyeth.

¹ After these sayinges it happened that God dyd proue Abraham and sayde vnto hym: Abraham. Whych answered: here am I.

¹⁰ And the Lord came, & stode, & called as before, Samuel Samuel. Samuel answered: speake on: for thy seruaunt heareth.

⁴ and he fell to the earth and hearde a voyce, sayinge to him: Saul Saul, why persecutest thou me?

¹⁴ When we were all fallen to the erthe, I heard a voyce speakynge vnto me, & saying in the Hebrue tonge: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is harde for the to kicke agaynst the prickes.

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

² And he sayde take thy only sonne Isahac whom thou louest, & get the vnto the lande Moria, and sacrifyce hym there for a sacrifyce vpon one of the mountayns, whych I wyll shewe the:

⁵ because that Abraham harkened vnto my voyce and kepte myne ordinaunces, my commaundementes, my statutes, and my lawes.

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

²⁰ And Moses sayde vnto the people: feare not, for God is come to proue you, and that his feare maye be in youre face, that ye synne not.

²⁴ Therfore feare you the Lorde, and serue hym in the trueth, and wyth all youre hertes & consydre howe great thinges he hath done for you. ²⁵ But and yf ye do wyckedlye, then shall ye peryshe, both ye and youre kynge.

²² And Samuel sayde: hath the Lorde as great pleasure in burnt sacrifyces & offeringes, as whan the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? Behold, to obeye is better then sacrifyce, & to herken, is better then the fatt of rammes.

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 He shall delyuer the in syxe troubles, and in the seuenth there shall no euell come to the.

²⁸ And vnto man he sayde: Beholde, to feare the Lorde, is wysdome: and to for sake euell. is vnderstandinge.

⁶ But the Lorde knoweth the waye of the ryghtewes, and the waye of the vngodly shall peryshe.

¹¹ Serue the Lorde in feare, and reioyse. with reuerence.

¹² What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teache in the waye that he shall chose.

¹⁴ The secrete of the Lorde is amonge them that feare him & he wyll shewe them hys couenaunt.

¹⁰ The feare of the Lorde is the begynning of wisdome, a good vnderstandyng haue all they that do therafter: the prayse of it endureth for euer.

¹¹ But the Lordes delyte is in them that feare hym, and put their trust in hys mercy.

⁷ The feare of the Lorde is the begynnyng of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome & instruccion.

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 Agayne, as for the vngodly it shall not be well wt him, nether shall he prolonge his dayes: but euen as a shadowe, so shall he be that feareth not God.

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.

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

⁴⁰ And I wyll sett vp an euerlastyng couenaunt with them. Namelye, that I wyll neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I wyll put my feare in their hertes, so that they shall not runne awaye from me.

⁶ What acceptable thinge shall I offre vnto the Lord? shal I bowe my knee to the hie God? Shall I come before hym with brentoffrynges, and wyth calues of a yeare olde? ⁷ Hath the Lord a pleasure in many thousand rammes, or innumerable streames of oyle? Or shall I geue my fyrst borne for myne offences, & the frute of my body for the synne of my soule? ⁸ I will shewe the, O man, what is good, & what the Lorde requyreth of the Namely, to do right, to haue pleasure in louinge kyndnesse, to be lowly, & to walcke wt thy God,

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall that Sonne of ryghteousnesse aryse, and health shalbe vnder his wynges: ye shal go forth, and multiplie as the fat calues,

¹⁶ Let your light so shyne before men. That they maye se your good worckes, & gloryfy your father, which is in heauen.

³⁷ He that loueth father, or mother more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not hys crosse and foloweth me, is not worthy of me

²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake him selfe & take vp his crosse, & folowe me

²⁹ And euery one that forsaketh house, or brethren, or systers, or father, or mother, or wyfe, or chyldren, or landes, for my names sake, shall receaue an hundred folde, & shall inheret euerlastynge lyfe.

³¹ Then had the congregacyons rest thorowout all Iewry, and Galile, and Samary, and were edifyed, and walked in the feare of the Lord, and multyplied by the comfort of the holy ghost.

¹² For yf there be fyrst a wyllynge mynde, it is accepted accordynge to that a man hath, and not accordynge to that he hath not.

²⁸ Wherefore, yf we receaue the kyngdome which can not be moued, we haue grace, wherby we maye so serue God, and that we maye please hym with reuerence and godly feare.

¹⁸ But some man wyll saye: thou hast fayth, & I haue dedes: shewe me thy fayth by thy dedes: & I will shewe the my fayth by my dedes.

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustifyed thorow workes, when he had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter? ²² Thou seest, how that fayth wrought wt his dedes, & through the dedes was the fayth made parfecte:

⁵ And a voyce came out of the seat, sayinge: praise our Lord God all ye that are his seruauntes, & ye that feare hym both small and great.

⁸ Abraham answered: my sonne, God wyll prouyde him a shepe for sacrifyce. And so they wente both together.

⁶ Yf I wolde declare them, and speake of them, they shulde be moo then I am able to expresse. ⁷ Sacrifice and meat offerynge thou woldest not haue, but myne eares hast thou opened: burntofferynges and sacrifice for synne hast thou not required. Then sayd I: Lo, I come. ⁸ In the volume of the boke it is written of me, that I shulde fulfyll thy will, O my God: I am content to do it: yee, thy lawe is wythin my hert.

¹⁹ For the Lord is oure defence, The holy one of Israel is oure kynge. ²⁰ Thou spakest somtyme in vysyons vnto thy saynctes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vpon one that is myghty, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

²¹ Yee, and thyne care shall heare the talkynge of hym that doeth speake behynde the. Thys is the waye, walke ye in it. Turne not aside nether to the ryght hande ner to the lyft.

⁷ Pourge therfore the olde leuen that ye maye be newe dowe, as ye are swete breed. For Christ oure passeouer is offered vp for vs. ⁸ Therfore, let vs kepe holy daye, not with olde leuen, nether with the leuen of malicyousnes & wickednes: but with the swete breed of purenes and trueth.

⁹ Also we receaued an answer of deeth in oure selues, that we shuld not put oure trust in our selues: but in God, whych rayseth the deed to lyfe, ¹⁰ and whych delyuered vs from so great a deeth: and doth delyuer. On whom we trust, that yet hereafter he wyll delyuer,

¹³ And she called the name of the Lorde that spake vnto her: thou God lokest on me, for she sayde: haue I not sene here the backe partes of hym that seeth me? ¹⁴ Wherfore the well was called, the well of him that lyueth & seeth me. And it is betwene Cades and Bared.

¹³ And Abraham lyftynge vp his eyes, loked aboute: and beholde, there was a ram caught by the hornes in a thyckette. And he went & toke the ram and offred hym vp for a sacrifyce in the steade of hys sonne.

¹⁹ And he called the name of that place Bethell, but the name of the cytie was called Lus before tyme.

³⁰ And Iacob called the name of the place Pheniel, for I haue sene God face to face, & my lyfe is preserued.

¹⁵ And Moses made an alter and called the name of it. The Lorde is he that worketh myracles for me.

³⁶ For the Lorde shall iudge hys people, and haue compassyon on hys seruauntes: whan he seyth that their power is gone, and that they be in a maner shut vp, or brought to naught and forsaken.

²⁴ Then Gedeon made an aultare there vnto the Lord, & called it: The Lorde of peace. And vnto thys daye it is yet in Ephrath, that pertayneth vnto the father of the Eserites.

¹² And then Samuel toke a stone, and pitched it betwene Mizpa and the mark of the rock, and called the name therof, the stone of helpe, saying: Hitherto hath the Lord helped vs.

⁴ Oure fathers hoped in the: they trusted in the, and thou dyddest delyuer them. ⁵ They called vpon the, and were helped: they put theyr trust in the, and were not confounded.

³⁵ Thus shall it haue .xviij.M. measures rounde about. And from that tyme forth, the name of the citye shalbe, the Lorde is there.

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. ¹⁹ Then was Nabuchodonosor full of indignacyon, so that the countenaunce of his face chaunged vpon Sidrach, Misach, and Abednago. Therfore he charged and commaunded, that the ouen shuld be made seuen tymes hotter, then it was wonte to be: ²⁰ & spake vnto the strongest worthies that were in his hoste, for to bynde Sidrach, Misach and Abednago, and to cast them into the hote burnynge ouen. ²¹ So these men were bounde in their cotes hosen, shues wyth their other garmentes, & cast into the hote burnynge ouen: ²² for the kynges commaundement was so strayte, and the ouen was excedynge hote. As for the men that put in Sidrach, Misach & Abednago, the flamme of the fyre destroyed them. ²³ And these thre men Sidrach, Misach & Abednago fell downe in the hote burnynge ouen, beynge faste bounde. ²⁴ Then Nabuchodonosor the kyng marueled and stode vp in all hast: he spake vnto hys councell and sayde: dyd not ye cast these thre men bounde into the fyre? They answered, and sayde vnto the king: Yee, O kynge. ²⁵ He answered, and sayde: lo, for all that, yet do I se foure men going lowse in the myddest of the fyer, and nothynge corrupte: and the fourth is lyke the sonne of God to loke vpon.

¹⁰ And now (O thou daughter Syon) be sory, let it greue the as a wyfe laboryng wyth chylde: for now must thou get the out of the cytie, and dwell vpon the playnefelde: Yee, vnto Babylon shalt thou go, there shalt thou be delyuered, and there the Lorde shall lowse the from the hande of thyne enemyes.

¹⁴ And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

⁸ Brethren, I wolde not haue you ignoraunt of oure trouble, which happened vnto vs in Asia. For we were greued out of measure passing strength, so greatly that we despayred euen of lyfe.

¹⁶ And without doute great is that mystery of godlynes: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustifyed in the sprete, was sene amonge the Angels, was preached vnto the gentyls, was beleued on in the worlde, and receaued vp in glory.

² And I wyll make of the a greate people, and wyll blesse the, & make thy name greate, that thou mayest be euen a blessynge.

⁹ Euen the couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and the ooth that he sware vnto Isahac.

²³ I sweare by my selfe: oute of my mouth commeth the word of ryghteousnesse, and that maye no man turne: but all knees shall bowe vnto me, and all tunges shall sweare by my name,

¹³ For why? I haue sworne by my selfe, sayth the Lorde, that Bozrah shall become a wyldernes, an open shame, a laughyng stocke and cursynge: and all her cyties shalbe a continuall deserte.

¹⁴ The Lorde of hoostes hath sworne by him selfe, that he wyll ouerwhelme the with men, lyke gresshoppers in nomber, which with a corage shall crie, alarum, alarum agaynst the.

⁸ The Lorde God hath sworne euen by him selfe (sayeth the Lorde God of Hostes) I hate the pryde of Iacob, and I abhorre his palaces: and I will geue ouer the cytie, with all that is therin:

⁷³ And that he wolde performe the oothe, which he sware to oure father Abraham,

¹³ For the promes (that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde) happened not to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the ryghtewesnes of fayth. ¹⁴ For yf they whych are of the lawe, be heyres, then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.

¹³ For when God made promes to Abraham because he had none greater to sweare by he sware by him selfe, ¹⁴ sayinge: Surely I will blesse the, and multiplie the in dede.

¹⁶ And I wyll make thy seed, as the dust of the erth: so that yf a man can nombre the dust of the erth, than shall thy seed also be nombred.

⁵ And he brought him out & sayde: loke vp vnto heauen, and tell the starres, yf thou be able to nombre them. And he sayde vnto him Euen so shall thy seed be.

⁶ I will make the to growe excedyngly, and will make nacions of the: ye & kynges shall sprynge out of the.

⁶⁰ And they blessed Rebecca, and sayde vnto her: Thou art oure syster, growe into thousande thousandes and thy seed possesse the gate of theyr enemyes.

⁴ and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed,

²⁸ God geue the of the dewe of heauen, and of the fatnesse of the erth, and plentye of corne and wyne. ²⁹ People be thy seruauntes, and nacyons bowe vnto the. Be Lorde ouer thy brethren, and thy mothers chyldren stowpe vnto the. Curssed be he that cursseth the, and blessed be he that blesseth the.

³ And God almyghtye blesse the, & make the to increase, and multyplye the that thou mayst be a nombre of people,

¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the erth: and thou shalt spreade abrode to the west, to the east, to the north and to the south. And thorowe the and in thy seed shall all the kynredes of the erth be blessed. ¹⁵ And se I am wyth the, and wylbe thy keper in all places whether thou goest, and wyll brynge the agayne in to thys lande: nether wyll I leaue the vntyll I haue made good all that I haue promysed the. ¹⁶ When Iacob was awaked out of hys slepe, he sayde: surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware. ¹⁷ And he was afrayed & sayde: howe fearfull is this place? it is none other, but euen the house of God and the gate of heauen. ¹⁸ And Iacob stode vp early in the mornynge, & toke the stone that he had layde vnder hys head, and pitched it vp an ende and poured oyle on the topp of it. ¹⁹ And he called the name of that place Bethell, but the name of the cytie was called Lus before tyme. ²⁰ And Iacob vowed a vowe, sayinge: If God wyll be wyth me, and wyll kepe me in thys iourney which I goo, and will geue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on, ²¹ so that I come agayne vnto my fathers house in saftye: then shall the Lorde be my God, ²² and thys stone which I haue set vp an ende, shalbe goddes house: and of all that thou shalt geue me, wyll I geue the tenth vnto the.

¹² Thou saydest: I wyll surely do the good, & make thy seed as the sande of the see, which can not be nombred for multytude.

²⁵ From thy fathers God which hath helped the, and with the almyghtye which hath blessed the wyth blessynges from heauen aboue, wyth blessynges of the depe that lyeth vnder, and wyth blessynges of the brestes and of the wombe. ²⁶ The blessynges of thy father were stronger then the blessynges of my elders, vnto the vtmost of the hylles of the worlde, and they shalbe on the heade of Ioseph, and on the toppe of the heade of hym that was separat from his brethren.

¹⁷ I shall se hym, but not nowe I shall beholde him, but not nye. There shall come a starre of Iacob, and ryse a sceptre of Israel, and shal smyte the costes of Moab & vndermyne all the chyldren of Seth. ¹⁸ And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall fall to the possessyon of theyr enemyes, and Israel shall do manfully. ¹⁹ Out of Iacob shall come he that shal haue dominion, and shall destroye the remnaunt of the cytie.

¹⁰ For the Lorde youre God had multiplyed you: and beholde, ye are thys daye as the starres of heauen in nombr

¹⁹ Then shall hys father and hys mother take hym, & brynge hym out vnto the elders of that cytie, and vnto the gate of that same place,

² And all these blessinges shall come on the, and ouertake the, yf thou shalt herken vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God. ³ Blessed shalt then be in the towne, and blessed in the feldes: ⁴ blessed shalbe the frute of thy body, and the frute of thy grounde, and the frute of thy cattell, the frute of thyne oxen, & the flockes of thy shepe: ⁵ blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be, when thou goest out, and blessed when thou comest in. ⁷ The Lorde shall geue ouer thyne enemyes that ryse agaynst the, that they maye fall before thy face. They shall come out agaynst the one waye, and flee before the seuen wayes. ⁸ The Lorde shall put the blessynge vpon the in thy store houses, & in all that thou settest thyne hande to, & will blesse the in the lande which the Lorde thy God geueth the. ⁹ The Lorde shall make the an holye people vnto hym selfe, as he hath sworen vnto the: yf thou shalt kepe the commaundementes of the Lorde thy God, and walke in hys wayes. ¹⁰ And all nacyons of the erth shall se, that the name of the Lorde, is called vpon ouer the, and they shalbe aferde of the. ¹¹ And the Lorde shall make the plenteous in goodes, in the frute of thy body, in the frute of thy catell, and in the frute of thy grounde, in the lande whych the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers, to geue the. ¹² The Lorde shall open vnto the his good treasure, euen the heauen to geue rayne vnto thy lande in due ceason, and to blesse all the laboures of thyne hande. And thou shalt lende vnto many nacyons, but shalt not borowe thy selfe. ¹³ And the Lord shall set the before and not behynde, & thou shalt be aboue only, and not beneth: yf that thou herken vnto the commaundementes of the Lorde thy God, which I commaunde the thys daye, to kepe and to do them.

¹ After the death of Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde, it happened also that the Lorde spake vnto Iosua the sonne of Nun Moses minister saying: ² Moses my seruaunt is deed. Now therfore vp & goo ouer Iordan: thou & all this people, vnto the lande the whych I geue vnto the children of Israel. ³ All the places that the sooles of youre fete shall treade vpon, haue I geuen you, as I sayde vnto Moses: ⁴ from the wildernes & this Libanon vnto the greate ryuer Euphrates: all the lande of the Hethites, euen vnto the great see towarde the going downe of the sonne, shalbe youre coaste. ⁵ There shall not a man be able to withstande that all the dayes of thy lyfe. For as I was with Moses, so will I be with the and will not fayll the, nor forsake the. ⁶ Be strong therfore and bolde: for vnto this people shalt thou deuyde the lande which I sware vnto their fathers to geue them. ⁷ Onely be thou strong & as bolde as thou canst, that thou mayest obserue & do according to all the lawe, which Moses my seruaunt commaunded the. Tourne therfrom nether to the right hand, nor to the lefte: that thou mayste do wysely in all thou takest in hande: ⁸ let not the boke of this lawe departe out of thy mouthe: But recorde therin daye & night that thou mayst obserue, & do according to all that is written therin. For then shalt thou make thy waye prosperouse, and then thou shalt do wysely. ⁹ Haue not I commaunded the, that thou shuldest be stronge & hardye & not feare ner be faynt harted? For I the Lord thy God am with the, whether soeuer thou goest. ¹⁰ Then Iosua commaunded the officers of the people, sayinge:

¹ After this it fortuned that Dauid smote the Philistines, and subdued them, & toke the brydell of bondage out of the hande of the Philistines. ² And he smote the Moabites & measured them with a lyne, & cast them downe to the grounde. Euen wyth two lynes measured he them whom he slue, and the length of one lyne saued he alyue. And so becam the Moabites Dauids seruauntes, & payed trybute. Dauid smote also, ³ Hadarezer the sonne of Rehob kynge of Zoba as he went to recouer his border at the ryuer Pherat. ⁴ And Dauid toke a thousand & seuen hundred horsemen of his hoost, and twentye thousand fote men, and cut of the hofe of all his charette horses, reseruyng onely one hundred charettes. ⁵ And whan the Sirians of Damascon came to succoure Hadarezer kynge of Zoba, Dauid slue of the Sirians two and twentye thousande men, ⁶ and put soudyours in Siria Damascon. And the Sirians became seruauntes, to Dauid, payeng tribute. And thus the Lord sarued Dauid, in all that he went vnto. ⁷ And Dauid toke the shildes of gold that belonged to the seruauntes of Hadarezer, & brought them to Ierusalem. ⁸ And out of Beta & Berothai (cities of Hadarezer) did Dauid bring exceding moch brasse. ⁹ When Thoi kyng of Aamath heard how Dauid had smytten all the hoste of Hadarezer, ¹⁰ he sent Ioram his sonne vnto kynge Dauid, to salute hym with peace, & to blesse hym, because he had fought agaynst Hadarezer, and beaten hym: for Thoy had greate warre wt Hadarezer, which (Ioram) brought with him, vesselles of siluer, vessels of golde, and vessels of brasse: ¹¹ Which brasse kyng Dauid dyd dedicat vnto the Lord wt the syluer and golde that he had consecrated of all nacyons, whych he subdued: ¹² of Siria of the Moabites, & of the chyldren of Ammon, of the Philistines, & of Hamalek, and of the spoyle of Hadarezer sonne of Rehob kyng of Zoba. ¹³ And Dauid gat hym a name after that he returned & had smytten of the Siriens in the valeye of Salt .xviii. thousand men. ¹⁴ And he put kepers in Edom, euen thorow out al Edom put he soudyoures, & all they of Edom becam Dauids seruauntes, And the Lorde kept Dauid whatsoeuer he toke in hand. ¹⁵ And Dauid raygned ouer all Israel, and executed ryght, & Iustice vnto all his people. ¹⁶ And Ioab the sonne of Zaruiah was ouer the host, and Iehosaphat the sonne of Ahilud was recorder. ¹⁷ And Sadoch the sonne of Ahitob, & Abimelech the sonne of Abiathar were the Preastes, and Saraia was the Scrybe. ¹⁸ And Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada was ouer the Crethites and the Phelethites: & Dauids sonnes were chefe rulars.

¹ It happened after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, & Hanon his sonne raygned in his steade. ² Then sayd Dauid: I will shew kyndnesse vnto Hanon the sonne of Nahas, as hys father shewed kyndnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent to confort hym by the hand of his seruauntes ouer hys father. And Dauids seruauntes came into the lande of the children of Ammon, ³ and the Lordes of the children of Ammon sayd vnto Hanon their Lord: thynkest thou that Dauid dothe honoure thy father, that he hath sent comfortoures to the? Hath not Dauid rather sent his seruauntes vnto the, to searche the cytie, & to spye it out, and to ouerthrow it? ⁴ Wherfore, Hanon toke Dauids seruauntes, & shaued of the one halfe of euerye mannes berd and cut of their garmentes in the myddle, euen harde to the buttockes of them, & sent them awaye. ⁵ When they tolde it vnto Dauid, he sent to mete them (for they were men excedingly a shamed) & the kyng sayd: tarie at Iericho vntill your beerdes be growen, and then returne. ⁶ And when the chyldren of Ammon saw that they stancke in the sight of Dauid, they sent and hired the Syrians of the house of Rehob, & the Sirians of Zoba .xx. thousand fote men, and of kyng Maacha a thousand men, & of Istob twelue thousand men. ⁷ And when Dauid hearde of it, he sent Ioab & all the host of strong men. ⁸ And the children of Ammon came out, and waged battell at the entring in of the gate, & the Sirians of Zobah, of Rehob, Istob and Maacah were by them selues in the felde. ⁹ When Ioab saw that the front of the battell was agaynst hym before and after, he chose of all the fresh young men of Israell, & put them in araye agaynst the Syrians. ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he delyuered into the hand of Abisay hys brother, that he myght put them in araye agaynst the children of Ammon. ¹¹ And be sayd, yf the Sirians be stronger then I, thou shalt helpe me. But yf the chyldren of Ammon be to strong for the, I will come and succoure the. ¹² Therfore quyte the lyke a man, & let vs stonde stiff for oure people, & for the cities of oure God. And the Lord do that which is good in his owne eyes. ¹³ And Ioab proceded forth, & the people that was with hym, to fight with the Sirians. But they fled before him. ¹⁴ And when the children of Ammon saw that the Sirians were fled, then fled they also before Abisay, and entred into the citye. And so Ioab returned from the children of Ammon, & came to Ierusalem. ¹⁵ And when the Sirians saw that they were put to the worsse before Israel, they geathered them togeather. ¹⁶ And Hadarezer sent, & brought out the Sirians that were beyounde the ryuer. And they came with their armye and Hobah the captayne of the host of Hadarezer went before them. ¹⁷ And when it was shewed Dauid, he geathered all Israel togeather, and passed ouer Iordan, & cam to Helam: And the Sirians set them selues in araye agaynst Dauid, & fought with him: ¹⁸ and the Sirians fled before Israel. And Dauid destroyed seuen hundred charettes of the Sirians, and fourtye thousand horsemen, and smote Sobah the captayne of their host, which also dyed there. ¹⁹ And when all the kinges (that were seruauntes to Hadarezer) saw that they were put to the worse before Israell, they made peace with them, & serued them. And so the Sirians feared to helpe the children of Ammon any moare.

²⁶ And kynge Salomon made a nauye of shyppes in Azion Gaber whyche is besyde Eloth, on the bryncke of the redd see, in the lande of Edom.

⁸ Desyre of me, and I shall geue the, the Heythen for thyne enheritaunce, & the vtmost partes of the erthe for thy possessyon. ⁹ Thou shalt bruse them with a rodd of yron, and breake them in peces lyke a potters vessell.

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

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

²² For lyke as the starres of heauen maye not be nombred, nether the sande of the see measured: so wyll I multiplye the sede of Dauid my seruaunt, & the Leuites my ministers.

⁴⁴ In the dayes of these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlasting kyngdome whych shall not perish, & his kyngdome shal not be geuen ouer to another people: yee, the same shall breake & destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer. ⁴⁵ And where as thou sawest, that wythout eny handes there was cut out of the mounte a stone, which brake the yron, the copper, the earth, the syluer and golde in peces: by that hath the greate God shewed the kyng, what wyll come after this. This is a true dreame, and the interpretacyon of it is sure.

⁹ for theyr wounde is past remedy: And why? it is come into Iuda, & hath touched the porte of my people at Ierusalem alredy.

⁶⁸ Praysed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redemed his people: ⁶⁹ And hath raysed vp an horne of saluacion vnto vs, in the house of his seruaunt Dauid. ⁷⁰ Euen as he promysed by the mouth of his holy prophetes, which were sens the worlde began. ⁷¹ That we shulde be saued from oure enemies, and from the hande of all that hate vs. ⁷² That he wolde deale mercifully with oure fathers, and remember his holy couenaunt. ⁷³ And that he wolde performe the oothe, which he sware to oure father Abraham, ⁷⁴ for to geue vs. That we deliuered oute of the handes of oure enemies, might serue him with out feare, ⁷⁵ all the dayes of oure lyfe, in such holynes and rightewesnes as are accept before him

⁵⁷ But thankes be vnto God which hath geuen vs victory, thorowe oure Lord Iesus Christ.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all maner of spirituall blessyng in heuenly thinges by Christ

¹⁵ And the seuenth Angell blewe, & ther were made greate voyces in heauen, sayinge: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure lordes, and his Christes, & he shall raygne for euermore.

³ I wyll also blesse them that blesse the, & cursse suche as curseth the, & in the shall all the kynreds of the erth be blessed.

¹⁸ seynge that Abraham shall be a great and a myghtie people, and all the nacyons of the erth shalbe blessed in him?

³ Than Abraham rose vp early in the mornyng, & sadled his asse, and toke two of hys yonge men wyth hym, and Isahac hys sonne: and cloue wodd for the sacrifyce, and rose vp and gott hym to the place whyche God had appoynted hym.

¹⁰ And Abraham stretchynge forth his hande, toke the knyfe to haue kylled hys sonne.

⁴ and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed, ⁵ because that Abraham harkened vnto my voyce and kepte myne ordinaunces, my commaundementes, my statutes, and my lawes.

³⁰ Wherfore the lorde God of Israell sayeth: I sayde, that thy house and the house of thy father shuld walke before me for euer. But now the lorde sayeth: that be farre from me: for them that worshipe me, I will worshipe, & they that despyse me, shall come to shame.

¹⁷ His name shall endure for euer, his name shall remayne vnder the sunne amonge the posterites, which shalbe blessed thorow him, and all the Heathen shall prayse him

²³ but this I commaunded them, sayinge: herken & obeye my voyce, and I shalbe youre God, and ye shall be my people: so that ye walcke in all the wayes, whych I haue commaunded you, that ye maye prospere.

²⁵ Ye are the chyldren of the Prophetes, and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto oure fathers, sayinge to Abraham: Euen in thy seede shal all the kynredes of the earth be blessed.

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

⁸ For the scripture seinge afore hande, that God wold iustifye the Hethen thorowe fayth, shewed before hande glad tydynges vnto Abraham sayinge: In the shall all nacyons be blessed. ⁹ So then, they which be of fayth, are blessed with faythfull Abraham.

¹⁶ To Abraham and hys seede were the promyses made. He sayth not in the seedes, as many: but in thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.

¹⁸ For yf the inheritaunce come of the lawe, it commeth not nowe of promesse. But God gaue it vnto Abraham by promes.

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. ²⁹ If ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heyres accordynge to the promes.

¹ Fayth is a sure confydence of thynges, whych are hoped for, & a certayntie of thynges whych are not sene. ² For by it the elders obtayned a good reporte. ³ Thorowe fayth we vnderstande, that the worlde was ordeyned by the worde of God, and that thinges whych are sene, were made of thynges whych were not sene. ⁴ By fayth Abel offered vnto God a more plenteous sacryfyce then Cayn: by whych he obteyned witnes that he was ryghteous, God testyfyinge of his gyftes: by whych also he beyng deed, yet speaketh. ⁵ By fayth was Enoch translated, that he shulde not se deeth: nether was he founde: for god had taken him awaye. For a fore he was taken awaye, he obteyned a good reporte, that he pleased God: ⁶ but without fayth it can not be that anye man shuld please him. For he that commeth to God, must beleue that God is, & that he is a rewarder of them that seke hym. ⁷ By fayth Noe beynge warned of God, eschued the thynges which were as yet not sene, and prepared the arke to the sauynge of hys housholde, thorow the whych arke, he condempned the worlde, and became heyre of the ryghtewesnes which is accordyng to fayth. ⁸ By fayth Abraham, when he was called obeyed, to go out into a place, which he shuld afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: & he went out, not knowing whether he shuld go. ⁹ By fayth he remoued into the lande of promes, as into a straunge countre, whan he had dwelt in tabernacles: & so dyd Isaac & Iacob heyres wt hym of the same promes. ¹⁰ For he loked for a cytie hauyng a foundacyon, whose buylder and maker is God. 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. ¹² And therfore sprange ther of one (euen of one whych was as good as deed) so many in multitude as are the starres of the skye, & as the sond, that which is by the see shore, innumerable. ¹³ These all dyed accordinge to fayth, whan they had not receaued the promises: but sawe them a farre of, and beleued them, & saluted them, and confessed, that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe. ¹⁴ For they that saye soch thynges, declare, that they seke a countre. ¹⁵ Also yf they had bene myndfull of the countre, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned agayne: ¹⁶ but now they desyre a better (that is to saye) a heauenly. Wherfore God himselfe is not ashamed to be called theyr God for he hath prepared for them a citye. ¹⁷ By fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was proued, and he offered him beyng his only begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses. ¹⁸ And to hym it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy seed be called: ¹⁹ for he consydered, that God was able to rayse vp agayne from deeth. Therfore, receaued he him also for an ensample of the resurreccion. ²⁰ By fayth did Isaac blesse Iacob and Esau, concernyng thynges to come. ²¹ By fayth Iacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, & bowed him selfe towarde the toppe of hys scepter. ²² By fayth Ioseph when he dyed, remembred the departing of the children of Israel, & gaue commaundement of hys bones. ²³ By fayth Moses when he was borne was hyd thre monethes of his father & mother because they sawe he was a proper childe, nether feared they the kynges commaundement. ²⁴ By fayth Moses when he was great, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos daughter, ²⁵ & chose rather to suffre aduersitie wyth the people of God, then to enioye the pleasures of synne for a ceason, ²⁶ and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt. For he had respect vnto the rewarde. ²⁷ By fayth he forsoke Egipt & feared not the fearcenes of the king. For he endured, euen as though he had sene him which is inuisible. ²⁸ Thorow fayth he ordeyned the passeouer and that effusyon of bloud, lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne, shulde touch them. ²⁹ By fayth they passed thorow the reed see as by drye lande: which when the Egypcyans had assayed to do, they were drowned. ³⁰ By fayth the walles of Iericho fell downe after they were compassed about seuen dayes. ³¹ By fayth that harlot Raab perisshed not wt them that were disobedient, when she had receaued the spyes to lodgyng peaseably. ³² And what shall I more saye: for the tyme wyll be to short for me to tell of Gedon, of Barach, & of Sampson, & of Iephthae, of Dauid also & Samuel, & of the Prophetes: ³³ Which thorow faith subdued kingdomes wrought righteousnes: obteyned the promyses: stopped the mouthes of lyons: ³⁴ quenched that violence of fyre: escaped the edge of the swearde: out of weaknesse, were made stronge: waxed valient in fyght: turned to flight the armyes of the alientes 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. ³⁹ And these all thorow faith obtained good reporte, & receaued not the promes, ⁴⁰ because God had prouided a better thing for vs, that they wt out vs shuld not be made parfecte.

³¹ Wherfore the place is called Beer Seba, because that there they sware both of them.

²⁸ Hasar sual, Bersabe, and Bazothah:

¹ Then all the chyldren of Israel went out: and the congregacyon was gathered togeather as it had bene but one man, euen from Dan to Berseba and vnto the lande of Gilead, vnto the Lorde in Mizpa,

²⁶ Terah lyued seuentye yeares, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

²⁹ Abram and Nahor toke them wyues: The name of Abrams wyfe was Sarai, & the name of Nahors wyfe was Milca, the daughter of Haran the father of Milca & the father of Iisca.

¹⁰ And the seruaunt toke .x. camels of the cameles of hys master and departed, and had of all maner goodes of hys master wyth hym, and stode vp and went to Mesopotamya, vnto the cytie of Nahor.

¹⁵ And it came to passe yer he had left speakynge, beholde, Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bethuell, sonne to Milca the wyfe of Nahor Abrahams brother, and hyr pytcher vpon hyr shoulder:

²⁴ She answered him: I am the daughter of Bathuel the sonne of Milca which she bare vnto Nahor:

⁵³ The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, & the God of theyr fathers be iudge betwyxte vs. And Iacob sware by the feare of hys father Isahac.

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

⁷ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde Balac the kynge of Moab hath fett me from Mesopotamia out of the mountaynes of the east (sayinge:) come, curse Iacob for my sake: come, & defye Israel.

¹ In the lande of Hus there was a man whose name was Iob: & the same was a perfect & iust man, soch a one as feared God & exchued euell.

² But Elihu the sonne of Barachell the Bussyte of the kynred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Iob, because he called hym selfe iust before God.

¹ To the chaunter, vpon the rose of witnes, the badge or armes of Dauid, for to teache: when he fought agaynst Mesopotamia, and Siria of Zoba: and when Ioab turned backe, and slue twelue thousande Edomytes, in the salt valley. O God, thou that hast cast vs out and scatered vs abroade: thou hast also bene dyspleased, O turne the vnto vs agayne. ² Thou hast moued the land and deuyded it, heale the sores therof, for it shaketh. ³ Thou hast shewed thy people heuy thynges, thou hast geuen vs a dryncke of deedlye wyne. ⁴ Thou hast geuen a token for soch as feare the, that they maye triumphe because of the treuth. Sel ⁵ Therfore were thy beloued deliuered, helpe me with thy ryght hande, and heare me. ⁶ God hath spoken in hys holynesse. I will reioyce and deuyde Sychem, and mete oute the valley of Suchoth. ⁷ Gilead is myne, and Manasses is myne: Ephraim also is the strength of my head, Iuda is my lawe geuer. ⁸ Moab is my washpotte, ouer Edom wyll I cast out my shoo. Philystea be thou glad of me. ⁹ Who wyll leade me into the stronge cytie? Who wyll brynge me into Edom? ¹⁰ Hast thou not cast vs out (O God) wylt not thou (o God) go oute with oure hoostes? ¹¹ O be thou oure helpe in trouble, for vayne is the helpe of man. ¹² Thorow God we shall do great actes, for it is he that shal treade downe our enemyes.

⁴⁷ And I drancke, & she gaue the camels dryncke also. And I asked her, sayinge: whose daughter art thou? She answered: the daughter of Bathuel Nahors sonne whom Milca bare vnto hym. And I put the earing vpon hyr face, and the bracelettes vpon hyr handes.

⁵¹ beholde, Rebecca is before the, take her and goo, that she maye be thy masters sonnes wyfe, euen as God hath sayde.

⁶⁷ And Isahac broughte her in to his mother Saraes tente, and toke Rebecca, and she became hys wyfe, and he loued her: and so Isahac receaued conforte after hys mother

²⁰ And Isahac was .xl. yeare olde when he toke Rebecca to wyfe, the daughter of Bathuel the Sirian of Mesopotamia and syster to Laban the Sirien.

² but aryse & gett the to Mesopotamia to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father: and there take the a wyfe of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother.

⁵ Thus Isahac sent forth Iacob. And he went to Mesopotamia vnto Laban, sonne of Bethuel the Sirien, and brother to Rebecca Iacob and Esaus mother.

¹⁰ Not onely thys, but also Rebecca was wt chylde by one, euen by oure father Isaac.

³ And Sarai Abrams wyfe toke Hagar hyr mayde the Egyptian (after Abram had dwelled .x. yere in the lande of Canaan) and gaue her to hyr husbande Abram to be hys wyfe.

⁶ But vnto the sonnes of the concubynes whych Abraham had, he gaue gyftes, and sent them awaye from Isahac hys sonne (whyle he yet lyued) eastwarde, vnto the lande of kedes.

²⁵ The Lorde will breake downe the house of the proude, but he shall make fast the borders of the widdowe.
