³ Which (sonne) beinge the bryghtnes of his glory, and that very ymage of his substance rulynge all thynges with the worde of hys power, hath by hys awne person pourged oure synnes, and sytteth on the ryght hande of the maiestye on hye:

Let not youre hertes be greued, nether feare. ²⁸ Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you: I go, and come agayne vnto you. If ye loued me, ye wolde verely reioyse, because I sayd: I go vnto the father, for the father is greater then I.

²⁰ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamente, but contrary wyse, the world shall reioyse. Ye shall sorowe, but yor sorowe shalbe turned to ioye. ²¹ A woman when she trauaileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth nomore the anguisshe, for ioye that a man is borne into the worlde. ²² And ye now therfore haue sorowe: but I will se you agayne, and your hertes shall reioyse, and your ioye shal no man take from you.

¹¹ Mary stode without at the sepulcre wepinge. So as she wepte, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre, ¹² & seeth two angels clothed in whyte, sytting, the one at the heed & the other at the fete, where they had layde the body of Iesus. ¹³ They saye vnto her, woman, why wepest thou? She sayeth vnto them: for they haue taken awaye my Lord, & I wote not where they haue layde him. ¹⁴ When she had thus sayd, she turned her selfe backe, & sawe Iesus standinge, and knewe not that it was Iesus: ¹⁵ Iesus sayeth vnto her: woman, why wepest thou? Whom sekest thou? She supposing that he had bene a gardener, sayeth vnto him. Syr: yf thou haue borne him hence, tell me wher thou hast layde him, and I wyll fet him.

¹⁸ Thou art gone vp an hye, thou hast led captiuitye captiue, and receaued gyftes for men. Yee, euen for thyne enemies, that the Lorde God myght dwell amonge them.

²⁵ But I tell you of a treuth: many weddowes were in Israel in the daies of Helias when heauen was shut thre yeares and syxe monethes, when greate famyshment was throughout all the lande,

²⁷ I tell you of a treuth: There be some standinge here, which shall not tast of death, tyll they se the kyngdome of God.

⁴⁹ And beholde, I will sende the promes of my father vpon you. But tary ye in the cytie of Ierusalem, vntyll ye be endewed wyth power from an hye.

³⁹ But this spake he of the sprete, whych they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

⁴⁵ And because I tell you the trueth, therfore ye beleue me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you rebuketh me of synne? If I saye the trueth, why do not ye beleue me?

⁵⁰ that it is expedient for vs, that one man dye for the people, and not that all the people perysshe. ⁵¹ Thys spake he not of him selfe, but beynge hye preste that same yere, he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people, ⁵² and not for the people onely, but that he shuld gather together in one, the children of God, that were scatered abrode.

³ And yf I go to prepare a place for you, I will come agayne, and receaue you euen vnto my selfe: that wher I am, ther maye ye be also.

¹⁶ & I will praye the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he maye bide wt you for euer: ¹⁷ euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you.

²⁶ But the comforter which is the holy ghost whom my father wil sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thinges to your remembraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayd vnto you.

²⁶ But when the comforter is come, whom I will sende vnto you from the father (euen the sprete of treuth, which proceadeth of the father) he shall testifye of me.

⁴ and gathered them together, and commaunded them, that they shulde not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for the promys of the father wherof (sayeth he) ye haue hearde of me. ⁵ For Iohn truly baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed with the holy goost after these feawe dayes.

³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare.

³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayde: Of a treuth I perceaue that there is no respect of persones with God,

²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose.

¹⁷ For oure tribulacyon which is momentany and lyght. prepareth an excedinge & an eternall wayght of glorye vnto vs,

⁸ Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men. ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it? but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest partes of the erth? ¹⁰ He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges. ¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers: 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

¹⁰ Moreouer, vpon the house of Dauid and vpon the cytesyns of Ierusalem will I poure out the sprete of grace & compassion, so that they shall loke vpon me, whom they haue pearsed: & they shal bewepe him as men mourne for their only begotten sonne: yee, & be sory for him, as men are sory for their first chyld.

⁹ And assone as they hearde this, they went out one by one, begynning at the eldest. And Iesus was lefte alone, & the woman standynge in the myddes.

⁴⁶ Which of you rebuketh me of synne? If I saye the trueth, why do not ye beleue me?

³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do?

²⁹ Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and ran tremblynge vnto Paul, and fell downe at the fete of Paul & Sylas, ³⁰ and brought them out, & sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saued?

²⁴ But and yf all prophesye, and ther come in one that beleueth not, or one vnlearned, he is rebuked of all men, & is iudged of euery man,

¹⁵ to geue iudgement agaynst all men, & to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge them of all their vngodly dedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruell speakynges, which vngodly synners haue spoken agaynst hym.

¹⁶ he that beleueth & is baptised, shalbe saued. But he that beleueth not, shalbe dampned.

¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, is not condemned. But he that beleueth not, is condemned all ready, because he hath not beleued in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God, ¹⁹ And thys is the condemnacion: that lyght is come into the world, and men loued darcknes more then light, because their dedes were euyll. ²⁰ For euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: nether commeth to the lyght, lest his dedes shuld be reproued. ²¹ But he that doth trueth, commeth to the lyght, that hys dedes maye be knowen, how that they are wrought in God.

⁴⁰ And yet wyll ye not come to me, that ye myght haue lyfe. ⁴¹ I receaue not prayse of men. ⁴² But I knowe you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you. ⁴³ I am come in my fathers name and ye receaue me not. If another come in hys awne name, hym wyll ye receaue: ⁴⁴ How can ye beleue, which receaue honoure one of another, & seke not the honoure that commeth of God onely?

²³ And he sayde vnto them: ye are from beneth, I am from aboue. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world, ²⁴ I sayd therfore vnto you, that ye shal dye in youre synnes. For yf ye beleue not that I am he, ye shall dye in youre synnes.

⁴² Iesus sayd vnto them: yf God were youre father, truly ye wolde loue me. For I proceaded forth, and came from God. Nether came I of my selfe, but he sent me: ⁴³ Why do ye not knowe my speache? Euen because ye can not abyde the hearing of my worde. ⁴⁴ Ye are of youre father that deuyll, and the lustes of youre father will ye serue. He was a murtherer from the beginninge and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye, he speaketh of his awne. For he is a lyar, and the father of the same thing: ⁴⁵ And because I tell you the trueth, therfore ye beleue me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you rebuketh me of synne? If I saye the trueth, why do not ye beleue me? ⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth Goddes wordes. Ye therfore beare them not, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁷ And yf any man heare my wordes, and beleue not, I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the world: but to saue the worlde. ⁴⁸ He that refuseth me, & receaueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth hym. The worde that I haue spoken, the same shal iudge hym in the last daye.

²² If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shuld haue had no synne: but now haue they nothyng to cloke their synne withall. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my father also: ²⁴ If I had not done amonge them the workes whych none other man dyd, they shuld haue had no synne. But now haue they both sene, & hated: not onely me but also my father. ²⁵ But thys happeneth that the sayinge myght be fulfylled, that is writen in their lawe: they hated me without a cause.

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe) ²³ hym haue ye taken by the handes of vnryghtewes persones, after he was delyuered by the determinat counsell & foreknowledge of God, & haue crucifyed and slayne him: ²⁴ whom God hath raysed vp, & loosed the sorowes of deeth, because it was vnpossible, that he shulde be holden of it. ²⁵ For Dauid speaketh of him. A fore hande I sawe God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, that I shulde not be moued. ²⁶ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce, & my tonge was glad. Moreouer also my flesshe shall rest in hope, ²⁷ because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, nether wilt thou suffre thine holye to se corrupcion. ²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, thou shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. ²⁹ Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat, ³¹ he knowyng this before, spake of the resurreccyon of Chryst, that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether hys flesshe shulde se corrupcyon. ³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand, ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst. ³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do? ³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you, ¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from deeth, of the which we are witnesses. ¹⁶ And hys name thorowe the fayth of his name, hath made this man sound, whom ye se and knowe. And the fayth which is by hym, hath geuen to hym thys health in the presence of you all. ¹⁷ And now brethren, I wote that thorow ignoraunce ye dyd it, as dyd also youre rulers. ¹⁸ But God (which before had shewed, by the mouth of all hys Prophetes, howe that Chryst shuld suffre) hath thus wyse fulfylled. ¹⁹ Let it repente you therfore, and conuerte, that youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshynge commeth, which we shall haue of the presence of the Lorde,

⁵¹ Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye haue allwayes resysted the holy ghost: as youre fathers dyd, so do ye. ⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slaine them which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, whom ye haue nowe betrayd, and murdred. ⁵³ And ye also haue receaued the lawe by the minystracyon of aungels, and haue not kept it. ⁵⁴ When they heard these thinges, theyr hertes claue asunder, and they gnasshed on him with theyr teth.

⁹ I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to do many contrary thynges, cleane agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth: ¹⁰ which thynge I also dyd in Ierusalem. And many of the saynctes dyd I shut vp in preson, and had receaued auctorite of the hye Prestes. And when they were put to deeth. I gaue the sentence.

¹⁹ We knowe that what thynges soeuer the lawe sayth, it sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped, & that all the worlde maye be subdued to God, ²⁰ because that by the dedes of the lawe ther shall no flesshe be iustifyed in hys syght. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed.

¹⁵ Whych as they kylled the Lorde Iesus, and theyr awne Prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs: and God they please not, and are contrary to al men, ¹⁶ & hynder vs, that we shuld not speake vnto the Gentyls, that they myght be saued, to fulfyll their synnes alwaye. For the wrath of God is come on them, euen to the vtmost.

¹² Take hede brethren, lest at anye tyme ther be in anye of you a frowarde herte subiect vnto vnbelefe, that he shulde departe from the lyuynge God:

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.

²¹ The Lorde is mercyfull vnto them for his ryghteousnesse sake: that his worde myght be magnifyed and praysed.

²⁴ saying. Uerely, in the Lord is my ryghteousnes and strength. To him shal men come: but all they that thincke scorne of him, shalbe confounded. ²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustified and make their boast in the Lorde.

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I wyll rayse vp the ryghteous braunche of Dauid, which kynge shall beare rule, and he shall prosper with wysedome, & shall set vp equite & righteousnes agayne in the erth. ⁶ In this tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israell shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shal call him: euen the Lorde oure ryghteousnesse.

²⁴ .Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, and ouer the holy cytie: that the wyckednes maye be consumed, that the synne may haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to brynge in euerlastinge ryghteousnesse, to fulfyll the visyons and the prophetes, and to anoynte the moost holy one.

¹⁴ And as Moses lyfte vp the serpent in the wyldernes, euen so must the sonne of man be lyfte vp,

³² Ther is another that beareth witnes of me: & I am sure, that the wytnes which he beareth of me, is true.

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you,

⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slaine them which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, whom ye haue nowe betrayd, and murdred.

³¹ because he hath appoynted a daye, in the which he will iudge the world wt ryghte wesnes, by that man by whom he hath appoynted, & hath offered fayth to all men, after that he had raysed him from deeth.

¹⁷ For by it is the ryghtewesnes of God opened from fayth to fayth.

²¹ But now is the ryghtewesnes of God declared wythout the lawe, for asmoch as it is alowed by the testimonye of the lawe and of the Prophetes. ²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference: ²³ for all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorye of God: ²⁴ but are iustifyed frely by his grace, through the redempcyon that is in Christ Iesu, ²⁵ whom God hath set forth to be the obtayner of mercy thorow fayth, by the meanes of hys bloude, to declare hys ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the synnes that are passed, whych God dyd suffre, ²⁶ to shewe at thys tyme hys ryghtewesnes, that he might be counted iust, and the iustifyar of hym whych beleueth on Iesus.

¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ Lyke wyse then as by the synne of one there sprang vp euell on all men to condemnacyon: euen so by the ryghteousnes of one, spryngeth good vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe. ¹⁹ For as by one mannes disobedience many became synners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous. ²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, the synne shulde encreace. Neuerthelater where aboundance of synne was, there was more plenteousnes of grace. ²¹ That as synne had raygned vnto deeth, euen so myght grace raygne thorow ryghtewesnes, vnto eternall lyfe, by the helpe of Iesu Christ.

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.

³ For they beynge ignoraunt of Goddes ryghtewesnes, and goynge aboute to stablysshe theyr awne ryghtewesnes, haue not bene obedient vnto the ryghtewesnes of God. ⁴ For Christ is the fulfyllyng of the lawe, to iustyfye all that beleue.

³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon.

¹⁴ If Christ be not rysen agayne, then is oure preaching in vayne, and your fayth is also in vayne. ¹⁵ Ye and we are founde false wytnesses of God. For we haue testifyed of God, how that he raysed vp Christ: whom he raysed not vp, yf it be so that the deed ryse not agayne. ¹⁶ For yf the deed ryse not agayne, then is Christ not rysen agayne. ¹⁷ If it be so that Christ rose not agayne, then is youre fayth in vayne, and ye are yet in youre synnes. ¹⁸ Therfore they whych are fallen a slepe in Christ, are perysshed. ¹⁹ If in this lyfe onely we beleue on Christ, then are we of all men most miserable. ²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, & become the fyrst frutes of them that slept.

²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

⁵ We loke for, and hope in the sprete to be iustifyed thorowe fayth.

⁷ But the thynges that were vauntage vnto me, those I counted losse for Chrystes sake. ⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst, ⁹ and be founde in him not hauynge myne awne ryghtewesnes of the lawe: but that which is thorow the fayth of Chryst: euen the ryghtewesnes which commeth of God thorowe fayth:

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.

⁵ Wherfore, when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacryfyce and offerynge thou woldest not haue: but a bodye hast thou ordeyned me: ⁶ Burnt offerynges also for synne hast thou not alowed. ⁷ Then sayd I: lo, I am here. In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me, that I shuld do thy will, o God. ⁸ Aboue, when he sayeth: sacryfice & offeryng, & burnt sacryfyces and synne offerynges thou woldest not haue, nether hast thou alowed them (whiche yet are offered by the lawe) ⁹ then sayd he: Lo, I am here, to do thy wyll, o God: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter, ¹⁰ by wych will we are made holy, euyn by the offeryng of the body of Iesu Christe once for all. ¹¹ And euery prest is ready dayly ministring and offryng often tymes one maner of oblacion, which can neuer take awaye synnes. ¹² But thys man after he hath offered one sacrifice for synnes, is set downe for euer on the ryght hand of God, ¹³ & from hence forth taryeth tyll his foes be made his fote stole.

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

¹⁵ I will also put enemytie betwene the & the woman, betwene thy sede and hyr sede: The same shall treade downe thy head, and thou shalt treade vpon hys hele.

²⁴ Who spoyled the gyaunte of his praye? or who taketh the presoner from the mightye? ²⁵ And therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde. The prisoners shalbe taken from the gyaunte, and the spoyle delyuered from the violente: for I wyll maynteyne thy cause agaynst thyne aduersaryes, and saue thy sonnes. ²⁶ And wyll fede thyne enemyes with theyr awne fleshe, and make them drynke of their awne bloude, as of swete wyne. And all flessh shall knowe, O Iacob, that I am the Lorde thy sauiour, thy noble redemer.

¹⁸ Beholde, my childe, whom I haue chosen, my beloued, in whom my soule deliteth. I wyll put my sprete vpon him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the gentyls.

³⁶ But I say vnto you, of euery ydell worde that men shall haue spoken, they shall geue acountes in the daye of iudgement.

¹⁸ And he sayd vnto them: I sawe Satan (as it had bene lightening) falling downe from heauen.

²² Nether iudgeth the father eny man: but hath commytted all iudgement vnto the sonne, ²³ because that all men shuld honoure the sonne euen as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent hym. ²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe. ²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue. ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe: ²⁷ and hath geuen him power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man.

³¹ Now is the iudgment of this worlde: now shall the prince of thys worlde be cast out.

³⁰ Here after wyll I not talke many wordes vnto you. For the prince of this worlde commeth, and hath naught in me.

⁴² And he commaunded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testify that it is he, which was ordened of God to be the iudge of quycke and deed.

³⁰ And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not. But now biddeth all men euery where repen ³¹ because he hath appoynted a daye, in the which he will iudge the world wt ryghte wesnes, by that man by whom he hath appoynted, & hath offered fayth to all men, after that he had raysed him from deeth.

²⁵ And as he preached of ryghtewesnes temperaunce, and iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy waye for thys tyme: whan I haue a conuenient season, I wyll sende for the.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they maye be turned from darckness to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenes of synnes, and inheritaunce amonge them whych are sanctified by fayth that is toward me.

² But we are sure, that the iudgement of God is accordynge to trueth, agaynst them whych commyt soch thynges. ³ Thynkest thou thys, O thou man that iudgest them whych do soche thynges, and doest euen the very same thy selfe, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God? ⁴ Ether despysest thou the ryches of hys goodnes, and pacyence and longe sufferaunce, not knowyng that the kyndnes of God leadeth the to repentaunce?

¹⁶ at the daye when the Lord shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, accordynge to my Gospell.

¹⁰ But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Other, why doest thou despise thy brother? We shalbe all brought before the iudgement seate of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written: as truely as I lyue sayth the Lorde: all knees shall bowe to me, and all tonges shall geue prayse to God. ¹² So shall euery one of vs geue accomptes of hym selfe to God.

²⁰ The God of peace shall treade Satan vnder youre fete shortly. The grace of oure Lorde Iesu Christ be with you.

⁵ Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntyll the Lorde come, whych wyll lyghten thinges that are hyd in darcknes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue prayse of God.

³ knowe ye not, howe that we shall iudge the angels? Howe moche more, maye we iudge thinges that pertayne to the lyfe? ⁴ If ye haue iudgementes of worldely matters, take then whych are despysed in the congregacyon, and make them iudges.

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.

¹⁰ For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man maye receaue the workes of hys body accordynge to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 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.

² in the which in tyme passed ye walked, accordyng to the course of this worlde, euen after the gouerner that ruleth in the ayer, the sprete that nowe worketh in the chyldren of vnbelefe

¹⁵ and hath spoyled rule and power, and hath made a shewe of them openly, and hath triumphed ouer them in his awne person.

¹⁴ For as moch then as the chyldren are partetakers of flesshe and bloud, he also him selfe lykewyse toke parte with them that (thorowe deeth) he myght expell hym that had lordshyppe ouer deeth, that is to saye the deuyll,

² of baptysynges, of doctryne, and of layinge on of handes, and of resurreccyon from deeth, and of eternall iudgement.

²⁷ And as it is apoynted vnto all men tkat they shall once dye, and then commeth the iudgement

⁴ For yf God spared not the angels that synned, but cast them downe into hell, and delyuered them into chaynes of dercknes to be kept vnto iudgement: ⁵ nether spared the olde worlde, but saued. Noe the eyght preacher of ryghtewesnes, and brought in the floud vpon the worlde of the vngodly, 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 And iust Lot vexed wyth the vnclenly conuersacyon of the wycked, delyuered he. ⁸ For he beynge ryghteous, and dwellynge among them in seynge and hearyng, vexed his ryghteous soule from daye to daye wyth their vnlaufull dedes. 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:

⁷ But the heauens and erth whych are now, be kept by hys worde in store, and reserued vnto fyre, agaynst the daye of iudgement & perdicion of vngodly men. ⁸ He that committeth synne, is of the deuyll: for the deuyll synneth sence the beginnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the worckes of the deuyl.

⁷ Beholde, he cometh with cloudes, & all eyes shall se him, & they also which pearsed him. And all kynredes of the erth shall wayle. Euen so: Amen.

⁷ And ther was a great battayll in heauen, Michael & his angels fought with the dragon, & the dragon fought & his Angelles, ⁸ and preuayled not, nether was their place founde eny more in heauen. ⁹ And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuyll & Sathanas, was cast out. Which deceaueth all the worlde. And he was cast into the erth & his angelles were cast out also ¹⁰ And I hearde a lowde voyce sayinge: in heauen is now made saluacyon and strength & the kyngdome of oure God, & the power of hys Chryst. For is cast doune, which accused them before God daye and nyght.

² And he toke the dragon the olde serpente, which is the deuyll & Satanas, & he bounde hym a thousande yeres: ³ and cast hym into the bottomlesse pyt, and he shutte hym vp, and set a seale on hym, that he shulde deceaue the people nomore, tyll the thousande yeres were fulfylled. And after that he must be losed for a lytell season.

¹⁰ and the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fyre and brymstone, where the beast and the false prophetes shalbe tormented daye and nyght for euermore. ¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte seate, and him that sate on it, from whose face fleed awaye both the erth and heauen, and their place was nomore founde. ¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is the boke of lyfe, & the deed were iudged of those thynges whych were written in the bokes accordyng to their dedes: ¹³ and the see gaue vp her deed which were in her, and deeth and hell deliuered vp the deed, which were in them: & they were iudged euery man accordyng to his dedes. ¹⁴ And deeth and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the seconde deeth. ¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde wrytten in the boke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fyre.

³³ And with many soche parables spake he the worde vnto them, after as they myght heare it.

¹⁵ Hence forth call I you not seruauntes: for the seruaunt knoweth not what hys lorde doeth. But you haue I called frendes: for all thynges that I haue heard of my father, haue I opened to you.

³ to whom also he shewed hym selfe alyue after hys passion (and that by many tokens) appearynge vnto them fourtye dayes, and speakynge of the kyngdome of God,

¹ And I coulde not speake (vnto you brethren) as vnto spretuall: but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ. ² I gaue you mylke to drynke, and not meate. For ye then were not stronge, nether are ye as yet. For ye are yet carnall.

¹¹ Wherof we wolde speake many thinges but they are harde to be vttered: seynge ye are dull of hearinge. ¹² For when as concerninge the tyme, ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye nede agayne, that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of God: and are become soch as haue nede of mylke: and not of stronge meate: ¹³ for euery man that is fed with mylke, is inexperte in the worde of ryghteousnes. For he is but a babe. ¹⁴ But stronge meate belongeth to them that are perfecte euen those, which (by reason of vse) haue their wittes exercised to discerne both good and euyll.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecy: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and youre yonge men shall se visyons,

³² & what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: and no man receaueth hys testimonye.

¹⁶ Iesus answered them, & sayde: My doctryne hys not myne: but his that sent me. ¹⁷ If eny man wyll be obedient vnto his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe. ¹⁸ He that speaketh of him selfe, seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh hys prayse that sent him, the same is true, & no vnryghtewesnes is in him.

³⁸ I speake that which I haue sene with my father: and ye do that, which ye haue sene with youre father.

⁴⁹ For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me: he gaue me a commaundment, what I shuld saye, & what I shulde speake.

⁶ Iesus sayeth vnto hym: I am the waye and the treuth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me.

¹⁷ euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you.

¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames. ¹⁸ And on my seruauntes, & on my hande maydens I wyll poore out of my sprete in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.

²⁸ And there stode vp one of them named Agabus, and sygnifyed by the sprete, that there shuld be greate derth thorow out all the world, which came to passe in the Emperoure Claudius dayes.

²³ but the the holy goost witnesseth in euery cytie, saying. that bandes and trouble abyde me.

⁹ The same man had fower daughters virgens, which dyd prophesy. ¹⁰ And as we taryed there a good mayny of dayes, there cam a certaine prophet from Iurie, named Agabus. ¹¹ When he was come vnto vs, he toke Pauls gerdell, & bounde his fete & handes, & sayd: Thus sayth the holy ghost so shal the Iewes at Ierusalem bynde the man that oweth this gerdell, and shall delyuer hym into the handes of the Gentyls.

²⁴ saying: feare not Paul thou must be brought before Cesar, And lo, God hath geuen the all them that sayle wyth the.

¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth all thinges, ye the botome of Goddes secretes. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the thinges of a man: saue the sprete of man which is wt in him? Euen so the thynges of God knoweth no man, but the sprete of God. ¹² And we haue not receaued the sprete of the worlde: but the sprete which commeth of God, for to knowe the thynges that are geuen to vs of God: ¹³ which thynges also we speake (not wt wordes that mannes wysdome teacheth, but wt wordes whych the holy ghost doth teache) makyng spirituall comparisons of spretuall thinges.

⁷ Unto euery one of vs is geuen grace, accordynge to the measure of the gyfte of Chryst. ⁸ Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men. ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it? but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest partes of the erth? ¹⁰ He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges. ¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers: 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 ¹⁴ That we hence forth shulde be nomore chyldren, wauerynge & caryed aboute with euery wynde of doctrine, by the wylynes of men, thorowe craftynes, wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceaue vs. ¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thynges growe in hym, which is the heed, euen Christ,

³ Let no man deceaue you by eny meanes, for the Lorde shall not come excepte ther come a departynge fyrst, and that that synfull man be opened, the sonne of perdicyon,

¹² that all they myght be damned, whych beleued not the trueth: but had pleasure in vnryghtewesnes.

¹ The sprete speaketh euydently, that in the later tymes some shall departe from the fayth, and shall geue hede vnto spretes of erroure, and deuelysshe doctrines of them ² which speake false thorowe ypocrysye, & haue their consciences marcked wt an hote yron, 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.

¹ Thys knowe, that in the last dayes shall come parelous tymes. ² For men shalbe louers of theyr awne selues, coueteous, boasters, proude, cursed speakers, dysobedient to fathers and mothers, vnthankfull, vngodly, ³ vnkynde, trucebreakers, falseaccusars, riatours, fearce, despisers of them which are good, ⁴ traytours, heady, hye mynded, gredy vpon volupteousnes more then the louers of God, ⁵ hauynge a symilitude of godlynesse, but haue denyed the power therof: and soch abhorre.

¹ Ther were false prophetes also amonge the people, euen as ther shalbe false teachers amonge you: whych preuely shall brynge in damnable sectes (euen denyenge the Lorde that hath bought them) and brynge vpon them selues swyft damnacyon, ² and many shall folowe their damnable wayes, by whom the waye of trueth shal be euyll spoken of, ³ and thorow coueteousnes shall they wyth fayned wordes make marchandyse of you, whose iudgement is now not farre of, and their damnacyon slepeth not. ⁴ For yf God spared not the angels that synned, but cast them downe into hell, and delyuered them into chaynes of dercknes to be kept vnto iudgement: ⁵ nether spared the olde worlde, but saued. Noe the eyght preacher of ryghtewesnes, and brought in the floud vpon the worlde of the vngodly, 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 And iust Lot vexed wyth the vnclenly conuersacyon of the wycked, delyuered he. ⁸ For he beynge ryghteous, and dwellynge among them in seynge and hearyng, vexed his ryghteous soule from daye to daye wyth their vnlaufull dedes. 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: ¹⁰ but chefely them that walcke after the flesshe in the lust of vnclennes, and despyse auctoryte. Presumpteous are they, and stubborne, whych feare not to speake euyll of them that excell in worshippe. ¹¹ When the angels which are greater both in power & might, receaue not of the Lord rayling iudgment agaynst them selues. ¹² But these as brute beastes, naturally brought forth to be taken and destroyed, speake euyll of the thinges that they vnderstande not, & shall perisshe in their awne destruccion, ¹³ & receaue the rewarde of vnryghtwesnes. They count it pleasure to lyue delyciously for a season. Spottes they are & fylthynes: which lyue at pleasure in their owne disceauable wayes, feastinge & scorninge you: ¹⁴ hauinge eyes full of aduoutrie, and the cannot cease from synne: begyling vnstable soules. Hertes they haue excercysed with robrie. They are cursed chyldren ¹⁵ which haue forsaken the ryght waye, and are gone astraye folowynge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnryghtewesnes: ¹⁶ but was rebuked of hys iniquitie. The tame and domme beast, speakynge with mannes voyce, forbade the madnesse of the Prophete. ¹⁷ These are welles without water: cloudes that are, caried with a tempest, to whom the myst of darcknes is reserued for euer. ¹⁸ For when they haue spoken the greate swelling wordes of vanytie, they entyse thorow lustes in the volupteousnes of the flesh, them that were cleane escaped: euen them that now lyue in erroure: ¹⁹ while they promes them libertie, where as they them selues are the bonde seruauntes of corruption. For of whom a man is ouer come, vnto the same is he brought in bondage. ²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde thorow the knowledge of the Lord and the sauyour Iesu Christ) are yet tangled againe therin, and ouercome then is the latter ende worse wyth them then the begynninge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of ryghteousnes, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commaundement that was geuen vnto them: ²² But the same is happened vnto them that is vsed to be spoken by the true prouerbe. The dogge is turned to his awne vomet agayne and the sow that was wasshed is turned agayne to her walowynge in the myer.

²⁰ Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of him that is holy, and ye knowe all thinges.

²⁷ And the anoyntinge which ye haue receaued of him dwelleth in you. And ye nede not, that eny man teach you: but as the anoyntinge teacheth you of all thinges, and is true, and no lye, and as it hath taught you, euen so byde therin.

⁶ We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Herby knowe we the sprete of veritie, and the sprete of erroure.

¹ The reuelacyon of Iesus Christ which God gaue vnto him, for to shewe vnto hys seruauntes, thynges whych muste shortely come to passe. And whan he had sent, he shewed by hys Angell vnto his seruaunt Iohn,

¹⁹ Wryte therfore the thynges which thou hast sene, and the thynges which are, and the thinges which must be fulfylled here after:

¹ And I sawe, when the lambe opened one of the seales, and I herde one of the foure beastes saye, as it were the noyse of thonder: come & se: ² and I sawe. And beholde ther was a whyte horsse: and he that sat on hym, had a bowe, and a crowne was geuen vnto hym, and he went forth conqueryng & for to ouer come. ³ And when he had opened the seconde seale. I herde the seconde beaste, saye: come and se. ⁴ And ther went out another horsse that was redd, & power was geuen to hym that satt theron, to take peace from the erth, & that they shuld kyll one another. And ther was geuen vnto hym a great swearde. ⁵ And when he had opened the thyrde seale I herde the thyrde beaste saye, come & se. And I behelde, & lo, a black horsse: & he that sate on him, had a payre of balances in his hande. ⁶ And I herde a voyce in the myddes of the foure beastes, saye: a measure of whete for a peny, & thre measures of barly for a peny and oyle and wyne se thou hurte not. ⁷ And when he had opened the fourth seale, I herde the voyce of the fourth beaste saye, come and se: ⁸ & I looked. And behold a pale horsse: & his name that sate on him was deeth, & hell folowed after hym, & power was geuen vnto them ouer the fourth parte of the erth, to kyll wyth swearde, & wyth honger, & wyth deeth that commeth of vermen of the erth. ⁹ And when he had opened the fyft seale, I saw vnder the aultre the soules of them that were kylled for the worde of God, & for the testymony whych they had, ¹⁰ & they cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: How longe taryest thou Lord, holy & true, to iudge & to auenge oure bloud on them that dwel on the erth? ¹¹ And longe whyte garmentes were geuen vnto euery one of them. And it was sayde vnto them, that they shuld reste yet for a lytle season vntyll the nomber of theyr felowes, and brethren, & of them that shulde be kylled as they were, were fulfylled. ¹² And I behelde, when he had opened the syxt seale: & lo, ther was a great erthquake and the sunne was as blacke as sacke cloth made of heere. And the mone wexed all, euen as bloud, ¹³ and the starres of heauen fell vnto the erth, euen as a fygge tree casteth from her vntymely fygges, when she is shaken of a myghty wynde. ¹⁴ And heauen vanisshed awaye, as a scroll when it is rolled to gether. And all mountaynes and yles, were moued out of theyr places. ¹⁵ And the kynges of the erth, and the gret men, and the ryche men, and the chefe captaynes, & the myghty men, & euery bondman, and euery free man, hyd them selues in dennes, and in rockes of the hylles: ¹⁶ and sayde to the hylles and rockes: fall on vs, & hyde vs from the presence of hym that sytteth on the seate, and from the wrath of the lambe: ¹⁷ for the grete daye of his wrath is come, and who is able to endure?

¹ And he shewed me a pure ryuer of water of lyfe, clere as Crystall: procedynge out of the seate of God, and the lambe. ² In the middes of the stret of it, and of ether syde of the ryuer, was ther woode of lyfe: whych bare twelue maner of frutes: & gaue frute euery moneth: & the leues of the wood serued to heale the people with all. ³ And ther shalbe no more cursse, but the seate of God and the lambe shalbe in it: and hys seruauntes shall serue hym. ⁴ And they shall se hys face, and his name shalbe in their forheddes ⁵ And there shall be no nyght there, & they nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for the Lorde God geueth them lyght, and they shall raygne for euermore. ⁶ And he sayde vnto me: these sayinges are faythfull and true. And the Lorde God of the holy Prophetes sent hys Angell to shewe vnto hys seruauntes, the thynges whyche must shortly be fulfylled. ⁷ Beholde, I come shortly. Happy is he that kepeth the saying of the prophesy of thys boke. ⁸ I am Iohn, which sawe these thynges and herde them. And when I had herde & sene, I fell doune to worshyppe before the fete of the Angell, whyche shewed me these thynges. ⁹ And he sayde vnto me: se thou do it not, for I am thy felowe seruaunt, & the felowe seruaunt of thy brethren the Prophetes, and of them which kepe the sayinges of thys boke. But worshyppe God. ¹⁰ And he sayde vnto me: seale not the sayinges of the prophesy of this boke. For the tyme is at hande. ¹¹ He that doeth euyll, let him do euyll styll: and he which is filthy, let him be fylthy styll: and he that is ryghteous, let hym be more ryghteous: & he that is holy, let hym be more holy. ¹² And beholde, I come shortly, and my rewarde is wyth me, to geue euery man accordynge as his dedes shalbe. ¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the begynninge and the ende: the fyrst and the last. ¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that theyr power maye be in the tree of lyfe, and maye entre in thorow the gates into the cytie. ¹⁵ For wythout shalbe dogges and inchaunters, and whormongers, and mortherers, and ydolaters, & whosoeuer loueth or maketh leasynges. ¹⁶ I Iesus sent myne Angell, to testyfye vnto you these thynges in the congregacions. I am the rote and the generacion of Dauid and the bryghte mornynge starre. 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. ¹⁸ I testifye vnto euery man that heareth the wordes of the prophesy of thys boke: yf eny man shall adde vnto these thynges, God shall adde vnto hym the plages that are wrytten in thys boke. ¹⁹ And yf eny man shall mynisshe of the wordes of the boke of this prophesy, God shall take awaye hys parte out of the boke of lyfe, and out of the holy cytie, and from the thynges which are written in this boke. ²⁰ He whych testifyeth these thynges, sayeth: be it. I come quyckly. Amen. Euen so come Lorde Iesu. ²¹ The grace of our Lorde Iesu Christ be wyth you all. Amen.

⁹ Of synne, because they beleue not on me. ¹⁰ Of ryghtewesnes, because I go to my father, and ye shal se me nomore:

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand, ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst.

¹⁰ be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, whom ye crucyfyed, whom God raysed agayne from deeth: euen by him doth this man stande here present before you whoale. ¹¹ This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is become the chefe of the corner. ¹² Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued.

⁸ which wysdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they had knowlege, they wold not haue crucifyed the Lorde of glory. ⁹ But as it is written. The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not heard, nether haue entred into the hert of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym. ¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth all thinges, ye the botome of Goddes secretes.

³ Wherfore I declare vnto you, that no man speakyng by the sprete of God, defyeth Iesus. Also no man can saye that Iesus is the Lorde, but by the holy ghost.

¹⁴ But their myndes were blinded. For vntyll this daye remayneth the same coueringe vntaken awaye in the lecture of the olde testament, whych vayle shalbe put awaye in Christ. ¹⁵ But euen vnto this daye when Moses is redde the vayle hangeth before their hertes. ¹⁶ Neuerthelesse when they tourne to the Lord, the vayle shalbe taken awaye. ¹⁷ The Lorde no dout is a sprete. And where the sprete of the Lord is, there is libertie. ¹⁸ But we all beholde in a myrroure the glorye of the Lorde with his face open, and are chaunged vnto the same similitude, from glory to glory, euen as of the sprete of the Lorde.

⁶ For it is God, that commaunded the lyght to shyne out of darcknes, which hath shyned in oure hertes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.

¹⁰ Of whych saluacyon haue the Prophetes enquyred and searched, whych prophesyed of the grace that shuld come vnto you, ¹¹ searchyng when or at what tyme the sprete of Chryst (whych was in them) shuld sygnifye, whych sprete testifyed before, the passyons that shuld happen vnto Chryst, & the glory that shulde folowe after, ¹² vnto whych Prophetes it was also declared, that not vnto them selues, but vnto vs, they shulde minyster the thynges whych are now shewed vnto you of them, whych (by the holy goost sent downe from heauen) haue in the Gospell preached vnto you the thynges, whych the angels desyre to beholde.

⁷ Unto you therfore whych beleue he is precious: but vnto them which beleue not the stone which the buylders refused, the same is begonne to be the heed of the corner,

²³ And this is hys commaundement, that we beleue on the name of his sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as he gaue commaundement.

¹³ Herby knowe we that we dwell in hym, and he in vs: because he hath geuen vs of hys sprete. ¹⁴ And we haue sene, & do testifye, that the father sent the sonne to be the sauyour of the worlde.

⁶ This Iesus Christ is he that cam by water & bloud, not by water onely: but by water and bloud. And it is the sprete that beareth wytnes, because the sprete is trueth.

¹⁰ And I fell at his fete, to worshippe him. And he sayde vnto me: se thou do it not. For I am thy felow seruaunt, & one of thy brethren, euen of them that haue the testimony of Iesus. Worshyppe God. For the testimony of Iesus is the sprete of prophesy.

²⁷ All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father. And noman knoweth the sonne but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne will open him.

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, sayinge: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen, & in erth.

³⁵ The father loueth the sonne & hath geuen all thynges into hys 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.

² as thou hast geuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shuld geue eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geuen him.

¹⁰ And all myne are thyne, & thyne are myne, & I am glorified in them.

¹⁹ For it pleased the father, that in him shulde all fulnes dwell,

³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

⁹ For in hym dwelleth all the fulnes of the God heed bodely,

¹⁹ So then, when the Lorde had spoken vnto them he was receaued into heauen, and is on the right hand of God.

³⁵ Then Iesus sayd vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the lyght with you. Walke whyle ye haue lyght, lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh also in the darck, woteth not whyther he goet

³³ Lytle chyldren, yet a lytel whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me, & as I sayd vnto the Iewes, whyther I goo, thyther can ye not come. Also to you saye I now.

¹⁸ I wyll not leaue you comforteles: but will come to you: ¹⁹ Yet a lytell while and the world seeth me nomore: but ye se me. For I lyue, & ye shall lyue. ²⁰ That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them: the same is he that loueth me. And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father: and I wyll loue hym, and wyll shewe myne awne selfe to him. ²² Iudas sayth vnto hym: (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde, what is done that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? ²³ Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym. ²⁴ He that loueth me not, kepeth not my sayinges. And the worde which ye heare, is not myne, but the fathers which sent me.

⁵ But now I go my waye to hym that sent me, & none of you asketh me whyther I go.

¹⁷ Then sayde some of hys discyples betwene them selues: what is thys that he saith vnto vs, after a while, ye shall not se me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father? ¹⁸ They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth: after a whyle? we cannot tell what he sayth. ¹⁹ Iesus perceaued, that they wolde aske him, and sayde vnto them. Ye enquire of this betwene your selues, because I sayde after a whyle ye shal not se me, & agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.

²² And ye now therfore haue sorowe: but I will se you agayne, and your hertes shall reioyse, and your ioye shal no man take from you.

⁵ And now glorifye thou me (O father) with thyne awne self, with the glory, which I had with the, yer the worlde was.

¹⁹ The same daye at night: which was the fyrst daye of the Sabothes, when the dores were shut (where the disciples were assembled together for feare of the Iewes) came Iesus, and stode in the myddes, & saieth vnto them: peace be vnto you. ²⁰ And when he had so sayde, he shewed vnto them his handes, & his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lord. ²¹ Then sayd Iesus to them agayne: peace be vnto you. As my father sent me, euen so sende I you also. ²² And when he had sayd those wordes, he brethed on them and sayeth vnto them: Receaue ye the holy goost. ²³ Whosoeuers synnes ye remitte, they are remitted vnto them. And whosoeuers synnes ye retayne, they are retayned. ²⁴ But Thomas one of the twelue (which is called Didymus) was not wt them when Iesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples therfore sayde vnto him: we haue sene the Lorde. But he sayde vnto them: except I se in hys handes the prynt of the nayles, & put my fynger in to the prynte of the nayles, & thrust my hande into his syde, I will not beleue. ²⁶ And after .viij. dayes, agayne his disciples were wt in, & Thomas wt them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut, & stode in the myddes, and sayde: peace be vnto you. ²⁷ After that sayd he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether, & se my handes, & reach hyther thy hande, & thrust it into my syde, & be not faythlesse, but beleuinge. ²⁸ Thomas answered, and sayde vnto him: my Lorde, & my God: ²⁹ Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued, blessed are they that haue not sene, and yet haue beleued.

¹ After warde dyd Iesus shewe hym selfe agayne, at the see of Tyberias. And on this wyse shewed he him selfe ² There were together Symon Peter & Thomas (which is called Didymus) and Nathanael of Cana in Galile, and the sonnes of Zebeddei, and two other of hys disciples. ³ Simon Peter sayeth vnto them: I wyll go a fisshinge. They saye vnto him: we also wyll go with the. They went theyr waye & entred into a shyppe immediatly, & that night caught they nothinge. ⁴ But when the mornynge was now come, Iesus stode on the shore: neuerthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus. ⁵ Iesus sayeth vnto them: Children, haue ye eny meat? they answered him, no. ⁶ And he saieth vnto them: cast out the net on the ryght syde of the ship, & ye shall fynde. They cast out therfore, and anone they were not hable to drawe it for the multitude of fysshes. ⁷ Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loued vnto Peter: It is the Lord: When Symon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he gyrde his coate vnto him (for he was naked) & sprange into the see. ⁸ The other disciples came by shyp for they were not farre from lande, but as yt were two hondred cubites, & they drewe the net wt fisshes. ⁹ Assone then as they were come to lande, they sawe hoote coles, & fisshe layd theron, & breed. ¹⁰ Iesus sayeth vnto them. brynge of the fysshe which ye haue now caught: ¹¹ Symon Peter went vp, & drewe the net to londe full of great fysshes, an hondred & .liij. And for all ther were so many, yet was not the net broken. ¹² Iesus sayeth vnto them: come & dyne. And none of the discyples durst aske him: what art thou? For they knewe that it was the Lorde. ¹³ Iesus then came, and toke breed, & gaue them, and fisshe lykewyse. ¹⁴ This is nowe the thyrde tyme that Iesus appeared to hys discyples, after that he was rysed agayne from deeth. ¹⁵ So when they had dyned, Iesus sayeth to Simon Peter: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto him: ye Lord, thou knowest, that I loue the. He sayeth vnto him: fede my lambes. ¹⁶ He sayeth to him agayne the seconde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? He saieth vnto him. Yee Lord, thou knowest that I loue the. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. ¹⁷ He sayde vnto him the thyrde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thyrde tyme: louest thou me, and he sayde vnto hym: Lord, thou knowest all thinges, thou knowest that I loue the, Iesus saieth vnto him: fede my shepe. ¹⁸ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the: when thou wast yong, thou gerdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou woldest: but when thou art olde, thou shalt stretche forth thy handes, & another shall gyrde the, & leade the whyther thou woldest not. ¹⁹ That spake he, sygnyfyinge, by what death he shuld glorifye God. And when he had spoken thys, he sayeth vnto him: folowe me. ²⁰ Peter turned about, and sawe the disciple whom Iesus loued, folowynge (which also leaned on hys brest at supper, and sayde: Lord, which is he that betrayeth the?) ²¹ When Peter therfore sawe him, he sayeth to Iesus: Lord, what shall he here do? ²² Iesus sayeth vnto hym, If I wyll haue him to tary tyll I come, what is that to ther folowe thou me. ²³ Then went thys sayinge abroade among the brethren, that the discyple shulde not dye. Yet Iesus sayde not to hym, he shall not dye: but yf I wyll that he tary tyll I come, what is that to the?

⁴⁰ Him God raysed vp the thyrd daye, & shewed him openly, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but vnto vs witnesses (chosen before of God for the same intent) which dyd eate & dryncke wt him, after he arose from deeth.

⁵ & that he was sene of Cephas, then of the twelue. ⁶ After that was he sene of moo then fyue hundred brethren at once: of whych many remayne vnto this daye, & many are fallen a slepe. ⁷ After that appeared he to Iames, then to all the Apostles. ⁸ And last of all he was sene of me, as of one that was borne oute of due tyme. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, which am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the congregacyon of God.

¹⁰ And they kepte that saieng with them, and demaunded one of another, what the rysyng from death agayne shulde meane?

³² But they wist not what he sayde, and were afrayed to aske him.

⁴⁵ But they wist not what the worde meant, and it was hyd from them, that they vnderstode it not. And they feared to aske him of that sayinge.

³⁴ And they vnderstode none of these thynges. And this saying was hyd from them, so that they perceaued not the thynges which were spoken.

¹⁶ These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at the fyrst: but when Iesus was glorifyed, then remembred they that soch thinges were wryten of him, and that soche thynges they had done vnto hym.

⁵ Thomas sayth vnto him: Lord, we knowe not whither thou goest. And how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye?

²² Iudas sayth vnto hym: (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde, what is done that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world?

¹ These thynges haue I sayde vnto you because ye shuld not be offended.

¹⁹ Iesus perceaued, that they wolde aske him, and sayde vnto them. Ye enquire of this betwene your selues, because I sayde after a whyle ye shal not se me, & agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.

⁹ Do ye not yet perceaue, nether remember those .v. loaues, when there were .v.M. men, & how many baskettes toke ye vp? ¹⁰ Nether the .vii. loues when there were .iiii.M. men: & how many baskettes toke ye vp? ¹¹ how happeneth it that ye do not vnderstande, that I spake it not vnto you concernyng breed, that ye shulde beware of the leuen of the Pharises, & of the Saduces?

²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: O fooles & slowe of herte, to beleue all that the Prophetes haue spoken.

¹² For when as concerninge the tyme, ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye nede agayne, that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of God: and are become soch as haue nede of mylke: and not of stronge meate:

¹ To the chaunter, a psalme of Dauid. O lorde, thou hast searched me out, and knowen me. ² Thou knowest my downe syttinge and myne vprysing: thou vnderstandest my thoughtes longe before. ³ Thou art about my path, and about my bedd: & spyest out all my wayes. ⁴ For lo, there is not a worde in my tonge, but thou, O Lorde knowest it all together.

⁸ Be not ye therfore lyke vnto them. For youre father knoweth what thinges ye haue neade of before ye aske of him:

⁴ And when Iesus sawe their thoughtes, he sayde. Wherfore thyncke ye euyll in youre heartes?

³³ And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come into the house, he asked them: what was it that ye disputed among yourselues by the waye? ³⁴ And they helde their peace: for by the waye they had reasoned among them selues, who shuld be the chefest.

²⁴ But Iesus dyd not commit him selfe vnto them, because he knewe all men, ²⁵ and neded not, that eny man shuld testifye of him. For he knewe what was in man.

¹⁹ Yet a lytell while and the world seeth me nomore: but ye se me. For I lyue, & ye shall lyue.

³⁰ Nowe are we sure, that thou knowest all thinges, and nedest not, that eny man shulde aske the any question. Therfore beleue we, that thou camest from God.

¹⁷ He sayde vnto him the thyrde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thyrde tyme: louest thou me, and he sayde vnto hym: Lord, thou knowest all thinges, thou knowest that I loue the, Iesus saieth vnto him: fede my shepe.

¹³ nether is ther eny creature that is not manifest in the syght of him: But all thinges are naked and open vnto the eyes of him, of whom we speake.

²³ And I wyll kyll her chyldren with deeth. And all the congregacyons shall knowe, that I am he which searcheth the reynes & hertes. And I wyll geue vnto euery one of you acordynge vnto hys workes.

⁵ the gladnes of the vngodly hath bene shorte, and that the ioye of ypocrites continued but the twyncklynge of an eye?

⁵ For hys wrath endureth but the twinclinge of an eye, and in hys pleasure is lyfe: heuynesse maye endure for a nyght, but ioye commeth in the mornynge.

¹¹ Heare, O Lorde, and haue mercy vpon me: Lorde be thou my helper.

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid. I Wayted paciently for the Lord, & he enclyned vnto me: and hearde my calling. ² He brought me also out of the horrible pitte, out of the myer and claye, and sett my fete vpon the rocke, and ordred my goynges. ³ And he hath put a new songe in my mouth, euen a thanckesgeuynge vnto oure God. Many shall se it, and feare, and shall put their trust in the Lorde.

¹¹ There is spronge vp a lyght for the ryghteous, and a ioyfull gladnesse for soch as be true herted.

⁵ Turne oure captyuite, O Lorde, as the ryuers in the south. ⁶ They that sowe in teares, shall reape in ioye. He that nowe goeth in hys waye wepynge and beareth forth good sede, shall doutheles come agayne wyth ioye, and brynge hys sheaues with him.

¹ So that then thou shalt saye: O Lorde, I wyll thanke the, for thou waste displeased at me, but refrayne thou from thy wrath, and comforte me.

⁸ As for death, he hath destroyed it for euer. And the Lorde God shall wype awaye teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take a waie out of all the earth. For so the Lorde hath sayde. ⁹ And in that daye it shalbe sayde: Lo, this is our God, we haue wayted for hym, & he shall saue vs. Thys is the Lord, in whom we haue hoped, we wylbe mery & reioyce in the saluation that commeth of hym.

³ that I myght geue vnto them that mourne in Sion, that I myght geue I saye, bewty in the steade of ashes, ioyfull oyntement for syghthinge, pleasaunt rayment for an heuy mynde: That they myght be called trees of ryghteousnesse, a plantynge of the Lorde for hym to reioyce in.

⁹ They shall come weping and with mercyfull pitye wyll I bring them hyther agayn. I wyll leade them to the ryuers of water in a strayght waye, where they shall not stomble. For I am Israels father, & Ephraim is my fyrst borne. ¹⁰ Heare the worde of the Lorde, O ye Gentiles, preach in the yles, that lye farre of, and saye: he that hath scatered Israel, shall gather hym together agayne, & shall kepe hym as a shepherde doth his flocke. ¹¹ For the Lord hath redemed Iacob, and ryd hym from the hande of the violent. ¹² And they shall come, & reioyce vpon the hyll of Sion, and shall haue plenteousnes of goodes, which the Lorde shall geue them. Namely, wheate, wyne, oyle, yonge shepe & calues. And theyr conscience shalbe as a well watred garden, for they shall nomore be hongrye. ¹³ Then shall the mayde reioyce in the daunce, yee, both yonge and olde folkes. For I wyll turne their sorowe into gladnesse, and wyll conforte them from theyr sorowes and make them ioyfull. ¹⁴ I wyll powre plenteousnesse vpon the hertes of the prestes, and my people shalbe satisfyed with my goodnesse, sayth the Lord

²⁵ For I shall fede the hongrye soule, and refresh all faynte hertes.

⁴ Blessed are they that mourne, for they shall receaue comfort.

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

³⁹ They that passed by, reuyled him, waggynge their heades, ⁴⁰ and sayinge: thou that destroydest the temple of God and dyddest bylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe If thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse. ⁴¹ Like wyse also the hye prestes, mocking him with the Scribes and elders sayde: ⁴² He saued other, him selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse, & we will beleue him. ⁴³ He trusted in God, let him delyuer him now, yf he wyll haue him: for he sayde, I am the sonne of God. ⁴⁴ The theues also, which were crucifyed with him, cast the same in his tethe.

⁶² The nexte daye that folowed the daye of preparinge, the hye prestes and Pharises came together vnto Pilate, ⁶³ sayeng: Syr, we remembre, that this deceauer sayde whyle he was yet alyue. After thre dayes I wyll aryse agayne. ⁶⁴ Commaunde therfore that the sepulcre be made sure vntyll the thyrd daye, lest hys disciples come, & steale him awaye and saye vnto the people: he is rysen from the deed, & the last errour shalbe worse then the fyrst. ⁶⁵ Pylate sayde vnto them: Ye haue the watch go your waye, make it as sure as ye can. ⁶⁶ So they went, and made the sepulcre sure with watche men, and sealed the stone.

⁷² And agayne the cocke krewe, & Peter remembred the worde that Iesus sayde vnto him: before the cocke crowe twyse, thou shalt denye me thre tymes. And he beganne to wepe.

²⁹ And they that went by, rayled on hym: wagging their heedes, and saying: A wretche thou that destroyest the temple, and byldest it in thre dayes: ³⁰ saue thy selfe, & come doune from the crosse. ³¹ Lykewyse also mocked hym the hye Prestes amonge them selues with the Scrybes & sayde, he saued other men, hym selfe he cannot saue. ³² Let Christ the kynge of Israell descende now from the crosse, that we maye se, & beleue. And they that were crucifyed with him checked him also.

¹⁰ And she went, and tolde them that were with him, as they mourned & weapte.

²¹ Blessed are ye that honger now, for ye shalbe satisfyed. Blessed are ye that wepe now, for ye shall laugh.

⁶² And Peter went out, and wepte byttrely.

²⁷ And there folowed hym a greate company of people, and of wemen whych bewayled and lamented hym.

⁴⁷ When the Centuryon sawe what had happened, he gloryfyed God sayinge. Uerely, this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the people that came together to that syght, & sawe the thynges whych had happened, smote theyr brestes, and returned. ⁴⁹ And all hys acquayntaunce and the wemen that folowed hym from Galile, stode a farre of, beholdynge these thynges.

²¹ But we trusted that it had bene he whych shuld haue redemed Israel. And as touchynge all these thynges, to daye is euen the thyrd daye, that they were done.

⁶ But because I haue sayd suche thynges vnto you, your hertes are ful of sorowe.

³³ These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myghte haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulacyon: but be of good chere, I haue ouercome the worlde.

²⁵ There stode by the crosse of Iesus hys mother, and his mothers syster, Mary the wyfe of Cleophas, & Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Iesus therfore sawe his mother, & the disciple stondinge whom he loued, he sayeth vnto his mother: woman: beholde thy sonne. ²⁷ Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her for hys awne.

²⁰ And when he had so sayde, he shewed vnto them his handes, & his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lord.

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, ⁴⁷ praysinge God, and had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly, soch as shulde be saued.

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell, I reioysinge, that they were counted worthy, to suffre rebuke for his name.

² by whom also it chaunsed vnto vs to be brought in thorow fayth, vnto thys grace, wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glory of God. ³ Not that onely: but also we reioyce in tribulacyons: knowyng that tribulacyon bryngeth pacience,

¹¹ Not onely this, but we also ioye in God by the meanes of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, by whom we haue now optayned the attonment.

¹⁰ as sorowing, & yet alwaye merye: as poore, and yet make many ryche: as hauinge nothyng, & yet possessyng all thynges.

²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes,

⁶ And ye became folowers of vs and of the Lorde, receauynge the worde with moch affliccyon, with ioye of the holy goost:

¹⁶ Oure Lorde Iesu Christ hym selfe, and God and oure father (which hath loued vs, and hath geuen vs euerlastynge consolacyon, and good hope thorowe grace) ¹⁷ comforte your hertes and stablysshe you in all good sayenge and doynge.

² My brethren, count it for an excedyng ioye, when ye fall into diuers temptacyons:

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, ⁸ whom ye haue not sene, & yet loue hym, in whome euen now, though ye se hym not, yet do you beleue, and reioyce with ioye vnspeakable and glorious

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you fre from synne, & to present you fautlesse before the presence of his glory wt ioye

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: Lord thou wotest. And he sayde to me: these are they, whych came out of great tribulacyon, & made their garmentes large, & made them white by the bloude of the lambe: ¹⁵ therfore are they in the presence of the seate of God & serue hym daye & nyght in his temple, & he that sytteth in the seate wyll dwell amonge them. ¹⁶ They shall honger no more, nether thyrst, nether shall the sunne lyght on them, nether eny heate. ¹⁷ For the lambe whych is in the myddes of the seate, shall fede them, & shall leade them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water, & God shall wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

¹⁰ And they that dwell vpon the erth, shall reioyce ouer them, and be glad, & shall sende gyftes one to another, for these two prophetes vexed them that dwelt on the erth.

⁷ And as moche as she glorifyed her selfe and liued wantanly, so moch powre ye in for her of punysshement and sorowe, for she sayde in her selfe: I syt beynge a quene, & am no wyddowe, and shall se no sorowe.

¹⁶ But vnto the woman he sayde: In multiplienge wyll I multiplye thy sorowe & thy conceyuynge: In sorowe shalt thou brynge furth chyldren, & thy lust shall pertayne to thy husbande, & he shall haue the rule of the.

⁶ But Sara sayde: God hath made me a laughynge stocke: so that all that heare: wyll laugh at me. ⁷ She sayde also: who wolde haue sayd vnto Abraham: that Sara shulde haue geuen chyldren sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in hys olde age.

²³ so that she conceaued & bare a sonne, & sayd: God hath taken awaye my rebuke. ²⁴ And she called hys name Ioseph, sayinge: The Lorde geue me yet a nother sonne.

²⁶ and she sayd: Oh my Lord: as truly as thy soule lyueth my Lord, I am the woman that stode before the here, prayeng vnto the Lorde. ²⁷ For this ladde I prayed, and the Lorde hath geuen me my desire, whych I asked of him:

⁹ He maketh the baren woman to kepe house, and to be a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse the Lorde.

⁸ they shall stande in feare, carefulnesse and sorow shall come vpon them, & they shall haue payne, as a woman that trauayleth with childe. One shall be abasshed of another, and their faces shall burne lyke the flamme of fyre.

¹⁶ Lorde in trouble haue they visited the: they powred out their prayer, when thy chastenyng was vpon them. ¹⁷ Lyke as a woman wt chylde that draweth nye towarde her trauell, is sory & cryeth in her paynes, euen so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lorde. ¹⁸ We haue bene wt chylde & suffred payne, as though we had brought forth winde. For there is no saluation in the erth, nether do the inhabitours of the worlde submyt them selues.

⁶ For what elles do thys signifye, that I se? Namely, that all stronge men smyte, euery man hys hande vpon hys loynes, as a woman in the paine of her trauayle. Who euer sawe a man trauayle with childe? Enquyre therafter, and se. Yee, all their faces are maruelous pale. ⁷ Alas for this daye, which is so dredefull that none maye be likened vnto it: and alas for the tyme of Iacobs trouble, from the which he shall yet be delyuered.

¹³ Therfore, shall sorowes come vpon hym, as vpon a woman that trauayleth. An vndiscrete sonne is he, for he consydreth not, that he shulde not haue bene able to haue endured in the tyme of hys byrth, ¹⁴ had not I defended hym from the graue, and delyuered hym from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I wyll be thy kynge.

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.

⁵⁷ Elizabeths tyme came that she shulde be delyuered, and she brought forth a sonne. ⁵⁸ And her neyghboures and her cosyns hearde howe the Lorde had shewed greate mercy vpon her, and they reioysed with her.

²⁷ For it is written. Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren: breake forth and crye, thou the trauaylest not. For the desolat hath many moo chyldren, then she which hathe an husbande.

³ For when they shall saye, peace and all thynges are safe, then shall soden destruccyon come vpon them (as sorowe commeth vpon a woman traualynge with chylde) & they shall not scape:

² And she was wt chylde, & cryed trauaylinge in byrth, & payned redy to be delyuered. ³ And ther appered another wonder in heauen, for beholde, a gret red dragon hauynge .vii. heddes, & ten hornes & seuen crounes vpon hys heades: 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. ⁵ And she brought forth a man childe, which shulde rule all nacyons with a rodd of yron. And her sonne was taken vp vnto God, & to his seate.

²⁹ If he graunte pardon, who wyll condemne? And yf he hyde awaye hys countenaunce, who shalbe able to se it? whether it be to the people or to any man, thus wyll he do.

² O put not youre trust in Princes, nor in any chylde of man, for there is no helpe in them.

² Behold, God is my saluacion in whom I will trust, and not be afrayde. For the Lorde God is my strength, & my songe, he also is become my saluacion. ³ Therfore with ioye shall ye drawe water out of the welles of the Sauioure, ⁴ & then shall ye saye: geue thanckes vnto the lorde, call vpon his name, declare his councels amonge the people, kepe them in remembrance, for his name is excellent.

⁹ And in that daye it shalbe sayde: Lo, this is our God, we haue wayted for hym, & he shall saue vs. Thys is the Lord, in whom we haue hoped, we wylbe mery & reioyce in the saluation that commeth of hym.

¹¹ Therfore the redemed of the Lord shall turne agayne, & come wyth ioye vnto Sion, there to endure for euer? That myrth & gladnesse myght be with them: that sorowe and wo myght fle from them? ¹² Yee I, I am euen he, that in all thynges geueth you consolacyon. What art thou then, that fearest a mortall man, the chylde of man, which goeth awaye as doeth the floure?

⁷ A lytle whyle haue I forsaken the, but wt greate mercyfulnes shall I take the vp vnto me. ⁸ When I was angry, I hydde my face from the for a lytle season, but thorow euerlastinge mercye haue I pardoned the, sayth the Lord thyne auenger.

¹³ Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde, my seruauntes shall eate, but ye shall haue honger: Beholde, my seruauntes shall dryncke, but ye shall suffre thurste. Beholde, my seruauntes shall be mery, but ye shall be confounded. ¹⁴ Beholde, my seruauntes shall reioyce for very quyetnesse of herte: But ye shall crye for sorowe of hert, and complayne for vexacyon of mynde.

¹⁸ but the Lorde sayth be glad and euermore reioyse, for the thynges, that I shall do. For why: Beholde, I shall make a ioyfull Ierusalem, and his people ioyfull, ¹⁹ yee, I my selfe will reioyse wyth Ierusalem, & be glad wt my people. And the voyce of wepynge and waylinge shall not be herde in her from thence forth.

⁹ For thus sayeth the Lorde. Am I he that maketh other to beare, and beare not my selfe? Am not I he that beareth and maketh baren? sayeth thy God. ¹⁰ Reioyse with Ierusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that loue her. Be ioyfull with her, all ye that mourned for her. ¹¹ For ye shall sucke comforte out of her brestes, and be satisfyed. Ye shall taste, and haue delyte in the plenteousnesse of her power. ¹² For thus sayeth the Lord: beholde, I wyll lett peace into her, lyke a water floude, and the myght of the Heythen lyke a flowynge streame. Then shall ye sucke, ye shall be borne vpon her sydes, and be ioyfull vpon her knees. ¹³ For lyke as a chylde is comforted of his mother, so shall I comforte you, and ye shalbe comforted in Ierusalem. ¹⁴ And when ye se thys, youre herte shall reioyse and youre bones shall floryshe lyke an herbe. Thus shall the hande of the Lorde be knowne amonge hys seruauntes, and hys indignacyon amonge hys enemyes.

¹⁷ For the fygg trees shal not be grene: & the vynes shal beare no frute. The laboure of the olyue shalbe but lost, & the lande shall bring no corne: the shepe shalbe taken out of the folde, and there shalbe no catel in the stalles. ¹⁸ But as for me, I wyll be glad in the Lorde, and will reioyce in God my Sauyoure.

⁸ And they departed quickly from the sepulcre, with feare and greate Ioye, & dyd runne, to bryng his disciples worde.

⁴² verely one is nedefull. Mary hath chosen the good parte, which shall not be taken awaye from her.

²⁵ But Abraham sayde: Sonne remember that thou in thy lyfe tyme, receauedst thy pleasure, & contrary wyse, Lazarus receaued payne. But now is he conforted, and thou art punisshed.

²⁶ For I saye vnto you, that vnto euery one which hath, shalbe geuen & from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye, euen that whych he hath.

⁴¹ And whyll they yet beleued not for ioye, and wondred, he sayd vnto them: Haue ye here eny meate?

⁵¹ And it cam to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen. ⁵² And they worshypped hym, and returned to Ierusalem wyth greate ioye, ⁵³ and were contynually in the temple praysynge & laudynge God, Amen.

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.

²⁷ Peace I leaue with you, my peace I geue vnto you. Not as the world geueth, geue I vnto you. Let not youre hertes be greued, nether feare.

²⁰ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamente, but contrary wyse, the world shall reioyse. Ye shall sorowe, but yor sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.

¹⁹ The same daye at night: which was the fyrst daye of the Sabothes, when the dores were shut (where the disciples were assembled together for feare of the Iewes) came Iesus, and stode in the myddes, & saieth vnto them: peace be vnto you. ²⁰ And when he had so sayde, he shewed vnto them his handes, & his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lord.

⁷ Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loued vnto Peter: It is the Lord: When Symon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he gyrde his coate vnto him (for he was naked) & sprange into the see.

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,

⁵² And the discyples were fylled with ioye and with the holy ghost.

²⁵ At mydnyght Paul & Sylas prayed, and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.

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.

⁷ Therfore brethren we receaued consolacyon by you, in all our aduersite & necessite, through your fayth. ⁸ For now are we alyue, yf ye stande stedfast in the Lorde. ⁹ For what thankes can we recompence to God agayne for you, ouer al the ioye, that we ioye for your sakes before our God:

¹⁶ Oure Lorde Iesu Christ hym selfe, and God and oure father (which hath loued vs, and hath geuen vs euerlastynge consolacyon, and good hope thorowe grace)

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,

³⁴ For ye became parttakers also of the afflyccyons whych happened thorow my bondes, & toke in worth the spoylyng of your goodes, & that wyth gladnes: knowynge in your selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduring substaunce.

⁸ whom ye haue not sene, & yet loue hym, in whome euen now, though ye se hym not, yet do you beleue, and reioyce with ioye vnspeakable and glorious

¹³ but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers of Christes passyons: that when hys glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ, happie are ye. For the glory and the sprete of God resteth vpon you. On their parte he is euyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorifyed.

²⁴ And it shalbe, that or euer they call, I shall answere them. Whyle they are yet but thinckynge howe to speake, I shall heare them.

⁷ Aske, and it shalbe geuen you: Seke, & ye shall fynde: Knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.

²² And all thinges whatsoeuer ye aske in prayer (yf ye beleue) ye shall receaue them.

³⁶ Symon Peter sayd vnto hym: Lorde, whyther goest thou? Iesus answered him: whyther I go, thou canst not folowe me now, but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes. ³⁷ Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde, why cannot I folowe the now: I wyl ieoparde my lyfe for thy sake?

¹³ And whatsoeuer ye aske in my name, that will I do, that the father maye be glorifyed by the sonne. ¹⁴ If ye shall aske any thynge in my name. I will do it.

²⁰ That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.

⁷ If ye byde in me, and my wordes abyde in you: aske what ye wyll, and it shalbe done for you.

¹⁵ Hence forth call I you not seruauntes: for the seruaunt knoweth not what hys lorde doeth. But you haue I called frendes: for all thynges that I haue heard of my father, haue I opened to you. ¹⁶ Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, to goo, and brynge forth frute, and that your frute shuld remayne, that whatsoeuer ye aske of the father in my name, he maye geue it you.

²⁶ At that daye shall ye aske in my name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you.

²⁰ Peter turned about, and sawe the disciple whom Iesus loued, folowynge (which also leaned on hys brest at supper, and sayde: Lord, which is he that betrayeth the?) ²¹ When Peter therfore sawe him, he sayeth to Iesus: Lord, what shall he here do?

¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father.

¹⁴ For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, ¹⁵ which is father ouer all that is called father in heauen and in erth, ¹⁶ that he wolde graunt you accordynge to the ryches of hys glorye, that ye maye be strengthed with might by his sprete in the inner man, ¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue, ¹⁸ myght be able to comprehende with all saynctes, what is the bredth and length, deepth and heygth: ¹⁹ & to knowe the excellent loue of the knowledge of Christ that ye myght be fulfylled with all fulnes, which commeth of God. ²⁰ Unto hym that is able to do exceadynge aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thynke accordynge to the power that worketh in in vs,

⁵ For ther is one God, and one mediator betwene God and man, euen the man Christ Iesus, ⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

¹⁴ Seynge then, that we haue a great hye prest which is entred into heauen (euen Iesus the sonne of God) let vs holde the profession. ¹⁵ For we haue not an hye preste, which cannot haue compassyon on oure infirmities: but was in all poyntes tempted, lyke as we are: but yet with out synne. ¹⁶ Let vs therfore go boldely vnto the seate of grace, that we maye obtayne mercy, and fynde grace to helpe in tyme of nede.

²⁵ Wherfore, he is able also euer to saue them to the vttemost, that come vnto God by him, seynge he euer lyueth to make intercession for vs. ²⁶ For soch an hye Prest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmlesse, vndefiled, separate from synners, made hyer then heauen.

¹⁹ Seyng therfore brethren, that by the meanes of the bloud of Iesu we haue libertye to enter into the holy place, ²⁰ by the new & lyuing waye whych he hath prepared for vs, through the vayle (that is to saye, by his flesshe.) ²¹ And seing also that we haue an hye prest whych is ruler ouer the house of God, ²² let vs draw nye wt a true herte in a sure fayth, sprynckeled in our hertes & the euyll conscience put awaye & wesshed in our bodyes wt pure water: ²³ let vs kepe the profession of our hope, wt out waueryng (for he is faithfull that promysed)

¹ My lytell chyldren, these thinges write I vnto you, that ye synne not. And yf eny man synne, we haue an aduocate wyth the father, Iesus christ, the ryghteous:

¹⁴ And thys is the trust that we haue in hym: that yf we aske eny thynge accordynge to hys wyll, he heareth vs. ¹⁵ And yf we knowe that he heare vs whatsoeuer we aske, we knowe, that we haue the peticyons, that we desyre of hym. ¹⁶ If eny man se hys brother synne a synne not vnto deeth, let him aske, & he shall geue him lyfe for them that synne not vnto deeth. Ther is a synne vnto deeth, for which saye I not that a man shuld praye.

⁹ And Iacob sayde agayne: O God of my father Abraham; & God of my father Isahac: Lorde whych saydest vnto me returne vnto thy countre and to thy kynred, & I wyll do all well wyth the.

³⁶ And it fortuned when the tyme came (wherin the burntsacrifyce of the eueninge vsed to be offred) Elia the prophete came & sayd: Lord God of Abraham, Isahac & of Israel, it shalbe knowen this daye, that thou art the God in Israel, & that I am thy seruaunt, & that I haue done all these thynges at thy commaundement.

¹⁵ And Hezekia prayed before the Lorde, and sayde: O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest betwene the Cherubs, thou art God alone ouer all the kyngdomes of the erth, thou hast made heauen & earth Lord,

⁹ after thys maner therfore praye ye. Oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name.

⁷ Aske, and it shalbe geuen you: Seke, & ye shall fynde: Knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you. ⁸ For whosoeuer asketh, receaueth: and whosoeuer seketh, fyndeth: and to hym that knocketh, it shalbe opened.

²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whych standeth and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly because of the brydegromes voyce. This my ioye therfore is fulfilled.

²³ And in the daye shall ye aske me no question. Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: whatsoeuer ye shall aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you.

¹⁶ cease not to geue thankes for you, makynge mencyon of you in my prayers: ¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe,

¹¹ God him selfe oure father, and oure Lorde Iesus Christ shall gyde oure iorney vnto you: ¹² the Lord also shall increace you & make you flowe ouer in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we do toward you, ¹³ that he maye make youre hertes stable & vnblameable, in holynes before God oure father, at the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ with all saynctes.

² Grace be vnto you and peace from God oure father, and from the Lorde Iesus Chryst.

² Ye lust, and haue not. Ye enuye & haue indignacyon, & can not obtayne. Ye fight & warre. Ye haue not because ye aske not. ³ Ye aske and receaue not, because ye aske amysse: euen to consume it vpon your lustes.

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. ⁴ And thys write we vnto you, that youre ioye maye be full.

¹² I had many thynges to wryte vnto you, neuerthelesse I wolde not wryte wt paper and ynke: but I trust to come vnto you, & speake wt you mouth to mouth, that oure ioye maye be full:

⁴ I wyll enclyne myne eare to the parable, and shew my darcke speach vpon the harpe.

² I wyll open my mouth in a parable, I wyll declare hard sentences of olde.

⁶ shal optayn wit to perceaue a parable, & the interpretacyon therof, the wordes of the wyse, & the darcke speaches of the same.

¹⁰ And the disciples came, & sayde vnto him? Why speakest thou to them by parables? ¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them it is not geuen.

³⁴ All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the people by similitudes, & with out a parable spake he nothynge vnto them, ³⁵ that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, that sayth I will open my mouth in parables: I wyll speake forth thynges which haue bene kepte secrete from the begynning of the world.

¹³ And he sayde vnto them: Knowe ye not this parable? and how then wyll ye knowe all other parables?

⁶ Thys prouerbe spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were, which he spake vnto them.

² They shall excommunicat you: ye the tyme shall come, that whosoeuer kylleth you, will thinke that he doth God seruyce.

¹² I haue yet many thinges to saye vnto you but ye cannot beare them awaye now.

¹⁶ After a while ye shall not se me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: for I go to the father. ¹⁷ Then sayde some of hys discyples betwene them selues: what is thys that he saith vnto vs, after a while, ye shall not se me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father?

²⁸ I went out from the father, and came into the worlde. Agayne, I leaue the worlde, and go to the father. ²⁹ His disciples sayd vnto him: lo, now talkest thou playnly, and speakest no prouerbe.

¹² Seyng then that we haue soch trust, we vse great boldnes, ¹³ & do not as Moses, which put a vayle ouer his face, that the chyldren of Israel shuld not se for what purpose that serued which is put awaye.

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

¹⁶ & I will praye the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he maye bide wt you for euer:

⁹ I praye for them, I praye not for the world: but for them which thou hast geuen me, for they are thyne.

¹⁹ & for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also myght be sanctifyed thorowe the treuth.

²⁴ Father, I will that they which thou hast geuen me be with me where I am, that they maye se my glory, which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedest me before the makyng of the worlde.

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.

¹⁷ for the Lorde thy God is with the, it is he that hath power to saue: he hath a speciall pleasure in the, & a maruelous loue towarde the: yee, he reioyseth ouer the wt gladnesse.

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.

¹³ And no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that came doune from heauen, euen the sonne of man whych is in heauen:

²⁹ But I knowe him for I am of him, & he hath sent me.

⁴² Iesus sayd vnto them: yf God were youre father, truly ye wolde loue me. For I proceaded forth, and came from God. Nether came I of my selfe, but he sent me:

²¹ He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them: the same is he that loueth me. And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father: and I wyll loue hym, and wyll shewe myne awne selfe to him.

²³ Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym.

⁷ Now they haue knowen, that all thinges whatsoeuer thou hast geuen me, are of the. ⁸ For I haue geuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowen surely, that I came out from the: and they haue beleued, that thou diddest send me.

²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they maye be made parfecte in one, & that the worlde maye knowe, that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them as thou hast loued me.

²⁵ O righteous father, the worlde also hath not knowen the: but I haue knowen the: and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and will declare it, that the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in them, & I in them.

¹⁵ So when they had dyned, Iesus sayeth to Simon Peter: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto him: ye Lord, thou knowest, that I loue the. He sayeth vnto him: fede my lambes. ¹⁶ He sayeth to him agayne the seconde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? He saieth vnto him. Yee Lord, thou knowest that I loue the. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. ¹⁷ He sayde vnto him the thyrde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thyrde tyme: louest thou me, and he sayde vnto hym: Lord, thou knowest all thinges, thou knowest that I loue the, Iesus saieth vnto him: fede my shepe.

³ For what the lawe could not do (in as moch as it was weake because of the flesshe) that performed God, and sent hys sonne in the similitude of synfull flesshe,

⁴⁷ The fyrst man is of the erth, erthy: the seconde man is the Lorde from heauen

²² If eny man loue not the Lord Iesus Christ, the same be Anathema maranatha.

¹⁴ For the loue of Christ constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all deed,

⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe,

²⁴ Grace be with all them which loue oure Lorde Iesus Chryst syncerely. Amen.

¹⁵ This is a true sayinge (and by all meanes worthy to be receaued of vs) that Chryst Iesus came into the worlde, to saue synners, of whom I am chefe.

⁶ for whom the Lorde loueth, hym he chasteneth: yee, he scourgeth euery sonne that he receaueth.

¹⁹ We loue him, for he loued vs fyrst.

²⁰ But ye derlye beloued, edifye youre selues in your most holy fayth, prayinge in the holy goost, ²¹ and kepe your selues in the loue of God, lokynge for the mercy of oure Lord Iesus Christ, vnto eternall lyfe.

⁹ Beholde, I make them of the congregacyon of Sathan, whych call them selues Iewes, and are not, but do lye: Beholde, I wyll make them that they shall come, and worshypp before thy fete: and shall knowe, that I haue loued the.

¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke, & chasten, Be feruent therfore, and repent.

⁵¹ And it fortuned when the tyme was come that he shulde be receaued vp, he set hys face to go to Ierusalem,

⁵¹ And it cam to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen.

¹⁴ Iesus answered, & sayde vnto them: though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whence I cam, and whither I go. But ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

¹ Before the feaste of Easter, when Iesus knewe that hys houre was come, that he shuld depart out of this world vnto the father. When he loued his which were in the worlde, vnto the ende he loued them.

¹¹ And now I am not in the worlde, and they are in the worlde, and I come to the. Holy father, kepe thorow thine awne name, them which thou hast geuen me, that they also maye be one, as we are.

⁹ And when he had spoken these thynges, whyle they beheld, he was taken vp an hye, & a cloude receaued him vp out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they looked stedfastly vp towarde heauen, as he went, beholde, two men stode by them in whyte apparell, ¹¹ which also sayd: ye men of Galile, why stande ye gasynge vp into heauen? This same Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, euen as ye haue sene him go into heauen.

²⁵ These thinges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme will come, when I shal nomore speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely from my father.

²⁰ For the father loueth the sonne, and sheweth hym all thinges that he hym selfe doeth. And he will shewe him greater workes then these, because ye shuld maruayle.

¹⁷ Then sayde some of hys discyples betwene them selues: what is thys that he saith vnto vs, after a while, ye shall not se me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father?

²⁷ For the father him selfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleued, that I came out from God. ²⁸ I went out from the father, and came into the worlde. Agayne, I leaue the worlde, and go to the father.

⁸ For I haue geuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowen surely, that I came out from the: and they haue beleued, that thou diddest send me.

⁴⁴ Lett these sayinges sinke downe into your eares. For it will come to passe: that the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men. ⁴⁵ But they wist not what the worde meant, and it was hyd from them, that they vnderstode it not. And they feared to aske him of that sayinge.

³⁸ Iesus answered hym: wylt thou ieoparde thy lyfe for my sake? Uerely verely, I saye vnto the: the cocke shall not crowe, tyll thou haue denyed me thryse.

⁶ but I offre my backe vnto the smyters, & my chekes to the nippers. I turne not my face from shame and spittyng, ⁷ & the Lord God shall helpe me: therfore shall I not be confounded. I haue hardened my face like a flynt stone, for I am sure, that I shall not come to confusion. ⁸ He is at hand that iustifieth me, who will then go wt me to lawe? Let vs stande one against another: yf there be any that wyll reason with me, let hym come here forth to me. ⁹ Beholde, the Lorde God standeth by me, what is he then that can condempne me? lo, they shalbe all like as an olde clothe, the mothe shall eate them vp.

⁷ Aryse, O thou swearde, vpon my shepherde, and vpon the Prince of my people, saieth the Lorde of hostes. Smyte the shepherd, and the shepe shalbe scatred abrode, and so wyll I turne myne hande to the lytle ones.

³¹ Then sayeth Iesus vnto them: all ye shalbe offended because of me this nyght. For it is wrytten: I will smyte the shepeherde, & the shepe of the flocke shalbe scattered abroade.

⁵⁶ But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophetes myght be fulfilled.

²⁷ And Iesus sayeth vnto them: All ye shalbe offended because of me this nyght. For it is written: I wyll smyte the shepherd, & the shepe shalbe scattered:

⁵⁰ And they all forsoke him, & ranne awaye.

²³ But the houre commeth & now is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in sprete, & in the treuth. For such the father also requyreth to worshyppe hym.

²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue.

²⁸ Maruayle not at this: for the houre shal come, in that which, all that are in the graues, shall heare hys voyce,

¹⁶ And yf I iudge, my iudgement is true. For I am not alone: but I & the father that sent me.

²⁹ and he that sent me, is wt me. The father hath not lefte me alone, for I do all wayes those thinges that please him.

²³ And Iesus answered them, sayinge: the houre is come, that the sonne of man must be glorifyed.

¹⁰ Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my self: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doth the workes. ¹¹ Beleue me that I am in the father, & the father in me. Or els beleue me for the worckes sake.

¹⁰ Then the disciples went awaye agayne vnto theyr awne home.

¹ Saul consented vnto hys death. And at that tyme there was a greate persecucyon agaynst the congregacyon which was at Ierusalem, and they were all scatered abrode thorowout the regyons of Iewry and Samaria, except the apostles.

¹⁶ At my fyrst answerynge, no man assisted me, but all forsoke me. I praye God, that it maye not be layde to their charges: ¹⁷ Not wythstandynge the Lorde, assysted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preachynge shulde be fulfylled to the vtmost, and that all the Gentyls shulde heare. And I was delyuered out of the mouth of the lyon.

⁵¹ But Dauid ranne, and stode vpon the Philistine, & toke hys swerde, and drue it out of hys sheth, and slue hym, & cutte of hys heed therwith. And when the Philistines sawe, that theyr champyon was deed they fled. ⁵² And the men of Israel and of Iuda arose, and showted, & folowed after the Philistines, vntyll they came to the valeye, and vnto the gates of Akaron. And the Philistines fell downe wounded by the waye to Saaraiim, euen vnto Gath & Akaron.

⁸ I wyll herken what the Lorde God will saye: for he shall speake peace vnto his people and to hys saynctes, that they turne not agayne. ⁹ For his saluacyon is nye them that feare him, that glory maye dwell in oure lande. ¹⁰ Mercy and trueth are met together, ryghtuousnesse and peace haue kyssed eche other. ¹¹ Trueth shall florish out of the earth, & ryghtuousnesse hath loked downe from heauen.

⁶ For vnto vs a chylde is borne, & vnto vs a sonne is geuen. Upon hys shoulder doth the kyngdome lye, and he is called wt hys awne name: wonderfull. The geuer of councell, the myghtye God, the euerlasting father, the prince of peace, ⁷ he shall make no ende to encrease the kyngdome & peace, & shall syt vpon the seate of Dauid & in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, & to stablish it wt equyte and ryghteousnesse, from hence forth for euermore. Thys shall the gelousy of the Lorde of Hostes brynge to passe.

⁵ Then shall there be peace, so that the Assyrian maye come into youre lande, & treade in youre houses. We shall bringe vp seuen shepherdes and .viii. princes vpon them:

¹⁴ Glory to God on hye, and peace on the erth, & vnto men a good wyll.

³⁸ sayinge: blessed be the kynge that commeth in the name of the Lorde: peace in heauen, and glory in the hyest:

¹⁸ If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the worlde, the worlde wolde loue his awne. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world. But I haue chosen you out of the world therfore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the worde that I sayd vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then the lorde. If they haue persecuted me, they wyll also persecute you. If they haue kept my saying, they will kepe youres also. ²¹ But all these thinges wyll they do vnto you for my names sake, because they haue not knowen hym that sent me.

¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prynce of thys worlde is iudged all ready.

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.

²² and strengthed the discyples soules agayne, and exhorted them to contynue in the fayth affirmynge that we must thorowe moche tribulacyon enntre into the kyngdome of God.

¹¹ The nyght folowynge, God stode by hym, and sayde: be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testifyed of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare wytnesse also at Rome.

²² And now I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mans lyfe amonge you, saue of the ship onely.

²⁵ Wherfore syrs be of good chere: for I beleue God, that it shalbe euen as it was tolde me.

¹ Because therfore that we are iustifyed by fayth, we are at peace with God, thorow oure Lorde Iesus Christ: ² by whom also it chaunsed vnto vs to be brought in thorow fayth, vnto thys grace, wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glory of God.

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.

³ Blessed be God (the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ) which is the father of mercy, & the God of all comforte,

⁴ I am very bolde ouer you, I reioyce greatly in you. I am fylled with comforte, and am exceadynge ioyouse in all oure tribulacyon.

¹¹ Finallye brethren, fare ye well, be parfect, be of good conforte, be of one mynde, lyue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.

⁴ which gaue hym selfe for our synnes to delyuer vs from thys present euyll worlde, accordynge to the wyll of God oure father,

¹⁴ God forbyd that I shulde reioyce, but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, wherby the worlde is crucifyed vnto me, & I vnto the worlde.

¹⁴ For he is oure peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, 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: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye.

⁷ And the peace of God (which passeth all vnderstandynge) kepe youre hertes and myndes thorowe Christ Iesu.

²⁰ and by him to reconcyle all thinge vnto him selfe, and to set at peace by hym thorowe the bloude of hys crosse, both thynges in heauen and thinges in erth.

⁴ For when we were wyth you, we tolde you before, that we shude suffre tribulacyon, euen as it came to passe, and as ye knowe.

⁷ Therfore brethren we receaued consolacyon by you, in all our aduersite & necessite, through your fayth.

¹⁶ The very Lorde of peace geue you peace allwayes, by all meanes. The Lord be with you all.

¹² Yee, and all they that wyll lyue godly in Christ Iesu shall suffre persecutyon.

² to whom also Abraham gaue tythes of all thynges) fyrst is called by interpretacion kynge of ryghtewesnes: after that, kynge of Salem (that is to saye, Kynge of peace)

²⁵ & chose rather to suffre aduersitie wyth the people of God, then to enioye the pleasures of synne for a ceason,

²⁰ The God of peace that brought agayne from deeth our Lorde Iesus the gret shepperde of the shepe, thorow the bloud of the euerlastyng testament, ²¹ make you parfect in all good workes, to do hys wyll, and bryng to passe, that the thyng which ye do, maye be pleasaunt in his syght thorowe Iesus Christ. To whom be prayse for euer whyle the world endureth. Amen.

⁹ whom resyst stedfast in the fayth, knowing, that the same affliccyons are apoynted vnto your brethren, that are in the worlde.

⁴ Lyttell chyldren, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde.

⁴ For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth the worlde. And this is the victory that ouer commeth the worlde, euen oure fayth.

²¹ To hym that ouercommeth wyll I graunte to syt with me in my seate, euen as I ouercam, & haue sytten with my father in his seate.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: Lord thou wotest. And he sayde to me: these are they, whych came out of great tribulacyon, & made their garmentes large, & made them white by the bloude of the lambe:

¹¹ And they ouercame him by the bloude of the lambe, and by the worde of their testimony, & they loued not their lyues vnto the deeth.
