⁴ Beare no wallet, nether scryp, nor shoes, & salute no man by the waye. ⁵ Into whatsoeuer house ye enter, fyrst saye: Peace be to thys house. ⁶ And yf the sonne of peace be there, your peace shall rest vpon him: yf not, it shall turne to you agayne. ⁷ And in the same house tary styll, eatyng and drinckyng soch as they geue: For the labourer is worthy of hys rewarde. Go not from house to house, ⁸ & into whatsoeuer cytie ye entre, & they receaue you, eate soch thynges as are set before you, ⁹ and heale the sicke that are therin, and saye vnto them: the kingdome of God is come nye vpon yo ¹⁰ But into whatsoeuer citie ye enter, & they receaue you not, go your wayes out into the stretes of the same, & saye: ¹¹ euen the very dust of youre cytie (which cleaueth on vs) do we wype of agaynst you: Not withstanding, be ye sure of thys, that the kyngdome of God was come nye vpon you. ¹² I saye vnto you: that it shalbe easier in that daye for Zodome, then for that cytie.

³⁵ And he sayde vnto them: when I sent you wythout wallet and scryppe and shoes lacked ye eny thynge? And they sayde, no.

⁶ And thus shal ye saye: peace be to the, peace be to thyne house, & peace be vnto all that thou hast.

¹⁹ I make the frutes of thankesgeuynge, that he maye saye. Peace peace vnto them that are farre of, and to them that are nye, sayth the Lorde, and I make hym whole.

¹² And when ye come into an house, salute the same. ¹³ And yf the house be worthy, let youre peace come vpon it. But yf it be not worthy, let youre peace retourne to you agayne.

⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: this daye is health happened vnto thys house, because that he also is become the chylde of Abraham:

³⁶ Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the children of Israel, preachyng peace by Iesu Christ, which is Lord ouer all thynges.

¹⁸ Neuerthelesse, all thynges are of God, whych hath reconcyled vs vnto him selfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen to vs the offyce to preache the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God:

¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye.

¹⁷ Now therfore, take hede, and se what thou hast to do, for there is an occasion of euell geuen agaynst oure master and all his housholde, seyng: he is as a sonne of beliall vngracious to speake to.

¹³ Neuerthelesse, when they were sycke, I put on a sacke clothe: and humbled my soule with fastynge, and my prayer shall turne into myne awne bosome.

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,

¹⁵ For we are vnto God the swete sauoure of Christ, amonge them that are saued, and amonge them which perysshe. ¹⁶ To the one parte are we the sauour of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other part are we the sauour of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?

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 ³ amonge whom we all had oure conuersacyon also in tyme past, in the lustes of oure flesshe, and fulfylled the wyll of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as well as other.

⁶ Let no man deceaue you with vayne wordes. For because of soche thynges commeth the wrath of God, vpon the chyldren of disobedience.

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

¹⁸ yee, & the frute of ryghtewesnes is sowen in peace, of them that mayntene peace.

¹⁴ as obedient chyldren, that ye geue not youre selues ouer vnto youre olde lustes,

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

¹⁸ but thou must eate them before the Lorde thy God, in the place which the Lorde thy God hath chosen: thou, and thy sonne, and thy daughter, thy seruaunte and thy mayde, & the Leuite that is wythin thy gates: and thou shalt reioyse before the Lorde thy God, in all that thou puttest thyne hande to. ¹⁹ Beware, that thou forsake not the Leuite, as longe as thou lyuest vpon the erth.

¹⁰ nor yet scrip towardes your iorney: nether two cotes, nether shoes, nor yet a rodde. For the worckman is worthy of his meate. ¹¹ But to whatsoeuer cytie or towne ye shall come, enquyre who is worthy in it, and there abyde tyll ye go thence.

¹⁰ And he sayde vnto them: whersoeuer ye entre in to an house, there abide, tyll ye departe thence.

⁴ And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abyde, and thence departe.

¹⁵ When she was baptised, and her housholde, she besought vs, sayinge: If ye thyncke that I beleue on the Lorde, come into my house, and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.

³⁴ And when he had brought them into hys house, he set meate before them, and ioyed that he with all his housholde, beleued on God.

⁴⁰ And they went out of the preson, and entred into the house of Lidia, and when they had sene the brethren, they conforted them, and departed

⁴ Haue we not power to eate and to dryncke? ⁵ Haue we not power to leade about a woman a syster, as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lorde, and Cephas? ⁶ Ether onely I and Barnabas haue not power thys to do? ⁷ Who goeth a warfare eny tyme at hys awne cost? who planteth a vineyarde, and eateth not of the frute therof? Or who fedeth a flocke and eateth not of the mylcke of the flocke? ⁸ Saye I these thynges after the maner of men? Sayth not the lawe the same also? ⁹ For it is wrytten in the lawe of Moses. Thou shalt not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth oute the corne. Doth God take thought for oxen? ¹⁰ Sayth he it not alltogether for oure sakes? For oure sakes no doute this is written: that he whych eareth shulde eare in hope & that he whych throssheth in hope, shulde be partaker of hys hope. ¹¹ If we sowe vnto you spirituall thynges, is it a great thynge yf we reape youre bodely thynges? ¹² If other be partakers of thys power ouer you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuerthelesse we haue not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hinder the Gospell of Chryst. ¹³ Do ye not knowe, howe that they which minister aboute holy thinges lyue of the sacrifyce? They which wayte of the temple, are partakers of the temple. ¹⁴ Euen so also dyd the Lord ordayne: that they whych preach the Gospell, shulde lyue of the Gospell. ¹⁵ But I haue vsed none of these thinges. Neuertheles I wrote not these thinges, that it shuld be so done vnto me. For it were better for me to dye, then that eny man shuld take this reioysinge from me.

⁶ Let hym that is taught in the worde, minister vnto him that teacheth him in all good thinges.

¹⁷ not that I desire gyftes: but I desyre aboundant frute on youre parte. ¹⁸ Neuertheles I receaued all, and haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I receaued of Epaphroditus the thinges, which were sent from you, an odoure of a swete smell a sacrifyce accepted and pleasaunt to God.

¹³ And also they learne to goo from house to house ydle: yee not ydle onely, but also tatlers and besybodyes, speakynge thynges which are not comly.

⁶ The husbandman that laboureth, must fyrst receaue of the frutes.

⁵ Beloued thou doest faythfully, what soeuer thou doest to the brethren, and to straungers, ⁶ which beare wytnes of thy loue before the congregacyon. Which brethren if thou brynge forwardes of theyr iorney (after a godly sorte) thou shalt do well: ⁷ because that for his names sake they went forth: and toke nothynge of the Gentyls. ⁸ We therfore ought to receaue such, that we myght be helpers to the trueth.

⁴⁰ He that receaueth you, receaueth me: & he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

⁴⁸ & sayd vnto them: Whosoeuer receaueth this child in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, the same shalbe greate.

¹⁰ But into whatsoeuer citie ye enter, & they receaue you not, go your wayes out into the stretes of the same, & saye:

²⁰ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: He that receaueth whomsoeuer I sende, receaueth me. And he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

²⁷ If eny of them whych beleue not, byd you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go, whatsoeuer is sett before you, eate, askynge no questyon for conscience sake.

⁴⁴ In the dayes of these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlasting kyngdome whych shall not perish, & his kyngdome shal not be geuen ouer to another people: yee, the same shall breake & destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer.

² and sayeng: Repent of the life that is past, for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.

¹⁷ From that tyme, Iesus beganne to preache, and to saye: repent, for the kyngdome of heauen is at hande.

⁷ Go and preache, saying: The kyngdome of heauen is at hand. ⁸ Heale the sycke, clense the lepers, rayse the deed, cast out deuyls. Frely ye haue receaued: geue frely.

³⁰ And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyken the kyngdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

¹³ & they cast out many deuyls: & annoynted many that were sycke wyth oyle, and healed them.

² And he sent them to preache the kyngdome of God, and to heale the syck.

¹¹ euen the very dust of youre cytie (which cleaueth on vs) do we wype of agaynst you: Not withstanding, be ye sure of thys, that the kyngdome of God was come nye vpon you.

²⁰ When he was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kyngdome of God shulde come, he answered them and sayd: The kyngdome of God shall not come with wayting for, ²¹ nether shal they saye. Lo here, Or lo there: For beholde the kyngdome of God is within you.

³ Iesus answered & sayd vnto him: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the, except a man be borne from aboue, he cannot se the kyngdom of God.

⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God,

⁷ In the same quarters were londes of the chefe man of the yle (whose name was Publius) whych receaued vs, & lodged vs thre dayes courteously. ⁸ And it fortuned that the father of Publius laye sycke of a feuer, and of a bloudy flixe. To whom paul entred in and prayde, and layde hys handes on hym & healeth him. ⁹ So, when this was done, other also whych had dyseases in the yle, cam and were healed: ¹⁰ whych also dyd vs great honoure. And when we departed, they laded vs wt soch thynges as were necessary.

²⁸ Be it knowen therfore vnto you, that thys saluacyon of God is sent to the gentyls, and they shall heare it.

³¹ preachinge the kyngdome of God, and teachynge those thynges whych concerne the Lorde Iesus wyth all confydence, no man forbyddyng hym.

¹⁴ And whosoeuer shall not receaue you, nor wyll heare youre preachynge: when ye departe oute of that house or that cytie shake of the duste of youre fete.

⁵ And whosoeuer wyll not receaue you, when ye go out of the citie, shake of the very dust from youre fete, for a testimonye agaynst them.

⁵¹ But they shouke of the duste of theyr fete agaynst them, and came vnto Iconium.

⁶ And when they sayde contrary & blasphemed he shoke hys rayment and sayde vnto them: youre bloude be vpon youre awne heedes: from hence forth wyll I go blamelesse vnto the gentyls.

¹¹ For the commaundement which I commaunde the this daye, is not separated from the, nether farre of. ¹² It is not in heauen, that thou neadest to saye: who shall go vp for vs to heauen, and fet it vs, that we maye heare it, and do it? ¹³ Nether is it beyonde the see: that thou shuldest saye: who shall go ouer the see for vs, and fet it vs, that we maye heare it, and do it? ¹⁴ But the worde is very nye vnto the: euen in thy mouth and in thyne hert, that thou do it.

¹¹ And whosoeuer shall not receaue you nor heare you, when ye departe thence, shake of the duste that is vnder youre fete, for a witnesse vnto them. I saye verely vnto you: it shalbe easier for Zodom & Gomor in the daye of iudgement, then for that cytie.

⁹ and heale the sicke that are therin, and saye vnto them: the kingdome of God is come nye vpon yo

²⁶ Ye men and brethren, chyldren of the generacyon of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is thys worde of saluacyon sent.

⁴⁰ Beware therfore, lest that fall on you, which is spoken of in the prophetes:

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas wexed bolde, & sayde: it was mete that the worde of God shulde fyrst haue bene preached to you. But seynge ye put it from you, and thynke youre selues vnworthy of euerlastynge lyfe: lo, we turne to the Gentyls:

⁸ But what sayth he? The worde is nye the, euen in thy mouth and in thyne herte. Thys same is the worde of fayth, which we preache.

²¹ But agaynst Israell he sayth: all daye longe haue I stretched forth my handes vnto a people that beleueth not, but speaketh agaynst me.

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:

⁶ The synne of the daughter of my people is become greater then the wyckednes of Sodome, that sodenly was destroyed, and not taken with handes.

⁴⁸ As truly as I lyue, sayeth the Lorde God: Sodoma thy syster wt her daughters, hath not done so euell, as thou and thy daughters. ⁴⁹ Beholde, the synnes of thy syster Sodoma were these: Pryde, fulnesse of meate, aboundaunce & Idilnesse, these thynges had she & hir daughters. Besydes that, they reached not their hande to the poore and nedy, ⁵⁰ but were proude, and dyd abhominable thynges before me: therfore I toke them awaye, as pleased me.

¹⁵ Uerely I saye vnto you: it shalbe easier for the land of Zodoma and Gomorra in the daye of iudgement, then for that cytie.

²⁴ Neuerthelesse, I saye vnto you: that it shalbe easier for the land of Zodom in the daye of iudgement, then for the.

⁶ Wherfore, I geue myne awne selfe the blame, and take repentaunce in the dust and asshes.

¹ The burthen of Tyre: Mourne ye shyppes of Tharsis, for there commeth such destruccyon that ye shall not haue an house to entre into: Out of the lande of Cittim haue they knowlege of thys plage. ² Be styll, ye that dwell in the Ile, the marchauntes of Zidon, and such as passe ouer the see, haue made the plenteous. ³ The corne that groweth by the great waters of Nilus, and the frutes of the ryuer were hyr vitailes, so that it became a comen marte of the nacion ⁴ Be ashamed thou Zidon, for the see (euen the strength of the see) hath spoken, sayenge: I haue not trauayled, ner broughte forth children, ner norished vp young men, or brought vp virgins. ⁵ Whan tydinges commeth to the Egipcians they shall be sory for the rumore that goeth of Tyre. ⁶ Get you to Tharsis, mourne ye that dwell in the Ile. ⁷ Is not this that glorious cyte of youres, which hath bene of olde antiquite? Hyr awne fete shall cary hyr forth to be a sogeourner in to a farre countre. ⁸ Who hath deuysed thys agaynst Tyre (that geueth garlandes vnto other cities) whose marchauntes are princes, and whose captaines are honorable in the worlde? ⁹ Euen the lord of hoostes hath deuysed thys, to put downe the pryde of all such as be glorious, and to mynish all them that be proude vpon earth: ¹⁰ Get the out of thy lande vnto the daughter of Tharsis, seyng thou hast nomore strength. ¹¹ He that smote the kyngdomes together, holdeth out his hande ouer the see: euen the lorde him self hath geuen a commaundement agaynst the same comen place of marchandise, that they shall vtterly destroye the might therof. ¹² And he sayd: Make nomore thy boast (O virgin thou daughter Zidon) thou shalt be brought downe: Up, get the ouer vnto Citim, where neuertheles thou shalt haue no rest. ¹³ Behold, this people came not of the Caldees, but Assur made them strong with great shippes. They set vp the strong holdes therof, & destroyed his palaces, & he brought it in decaye. ¹⁴ Mourne ye shippes of tharsis for your strength is brought downe. ¹⁵ And in that daye shall Tyre be forgotten seuentye yeares (accordinge to the yeares of one kyng) and after the ende of the seuentye yeares shall Tyre syng as doth an harlot. ¹⁶ Take an harpe, & go aboute the citye (thou harlot that hast bene forgotten) make swete melody, sing moo songes, that thou mayest be had in remembraunce. ¹⁷ And after the ende of the seuentye yeares shall the lorde visyt Tyre, & she shall conuerte vnto her rewarde, and shall committe fornicacion with all the kyngdomes of the earth that are in the worlde. ¹⁸ Their occupieng also and their rewarde shalbe holy vnto the lord. Their gaynes shall not be layde vp ner kepte in stoare, but it shalbe theyrs that dwell before the lorde, that they maye eate ynough, & haue clothyng sufficient.

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.

⁶ Not to many nacyons, which haue dyuerse speaches and harde languages, whose wordes thou vnderstandest not Neuerthelesse, yf I sent the to those people, they wolde folowe the. ⁷ But the house of Israel wyll not folowe the, for they wyll not folowe me: yee, all the house of Israel haue stiffe forheades & harde hertes.

¹ It happened, that in the eleuenth yeare, the fyrst daye of the moneth the worde of the Lord came vnto me, sayenge: ² Thou sonne of man, because that Tyre hath spoken vpon Ierusalem: A, ha, now I trowe the portes of the people be broken, and she turned vnto me, for now that she is destroyed I shall be fylled. ³ Yee, therfore, sayeth the Lord God: Beholde O Tyre, I will vpon the, I will bringe a great multitude of people agaynst the, lyke as when the see aryseth with his waues: ⁴ These shall breake the walles of Tyre, and cast downe her towres: I will scrape the grounde from her, and make her a bare stone: ⁵ yee, as the dryenge place, where the fysshers hange vp theyr nettes by the see syde. Euen I haue spoken it, sayeth the Lorde God. The Gentyls shall spoyle her: ⁶ her daughters vpon the felde shall perysh wt the swearde, that they maye knowe how that I am the Lorde. ⁷ For thus sayeth the Lord God: Behold, I will bring hither Nabuchodonosor (which is the kynge of Babylon, and a kynge of kynges) from the North vpon Tyre: wt horses, charettes, horssmen, and with a greate multitude of people. ⁸ Thy daughters that are in the land, shall he slaye with the sweard: but agaynst the, he shall make bullworkes and graue vp dyches aboute the, and lyft vp hys shylde agaynst the. ⁹ Hys slynges and batelrammes shal he prepare for thy walles, and wt his weapens breake downe thy towres. ¹⁰ The dust of hys horses shall couer the, they shalbe so many: thy walles shall shake at the noyse of the horsmen, charettes and wheles when he commeth to thy portes, as men do into an open cytie. ¹¹ With the hoffes of his horse fete, shall he treade downe all thy stretes. He shal slaye the people with the sweard, and breake downe the pylers of thy strength. ¹² They shall waste awaye thy ryches, and spoyle thy marchaundyse. Thy walles shall they breake downe, and destroye thy houses of pleasure. Thy stones, thy tymbre and foundacyons shall they cast in the water. ¹³ Thus will I bring the melody of thy songes, and the voyce of thy mynstrelsy to an ende, so that they shall nomore be herde. ¹⁴ I will make a bare stone of the, yee, a dryinge place for nettes, & thou shalt neuer be buylded agayne: For euen I the Lord haue spoken it, sayeth the Lorde God: ¹⁵ thus hath the Lorde God spoken concernynge Tyre. The Iles shall be moued at the noyse of thy fall, & at the crye of the slayne, that shall be murthered in the. ¹⁶ All kynges of the see shall come downe from theyr seates regall: they shall laye awaye theyr roabes, and put of theyr costly clothynge. Yee, with tremblinge shall they be clothed, they shall syt vpon the ground: they shalbe afrayed at thy soden fall, and be abasshed at the. ¹⁷ They shall mourne for the, and saye vnto the. O thou noble cytie, that hast bene so greatly occupyed of olde, thou that hast bene the strongest vpon the see with thyne inhabytours, of whom al men stode in feare. How arte thou nowe so vtterly destroyed? ¹⁸ Now at the tyme of thy fall the inhabytours of the Iles, yee, and the Iles them selues, shall stande in feare at thy ende. ¹⁹ For thus sayeth the Lorde God: when I make the a desolate cytie (as other cyties be, that no man dwell in) and when I bringe the depe vpon the that greate waters maye couer the. ²⁰ Then wil I cast the downe vnto them, that descende into the pitte: vnto a people that hath bene longe deed, and set the in a lande that is beneth, lyke the olde wildernes, with them which go downe to theyr graues, so that no man shall dwell more in the. And I will make the to be nomore in honoure, in the lande of the lyuinge. ²¹ I will make an ende of the, and thou shalt be gone. Though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou not be founde for euermore, sayeth the Lorde God.

¹ The worde of the Lord came vnto me sayenge: ² O thou sonne of man, make a lamentable complaynte vpon Tyre, ³ and saye vpon Tyre, thou which art a porte of the see, that occupieth with moche people, & many Iles: thus speaketh the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast sayd: what, I am a noble cyti ⁴ thy borders are in the middest of the see, and thy buylders haue made the maruelous goodly, ⁵ Al thy tables haue they made of cypres trees of the mount Sanyr, From Libanus haue they taken Cedre trees, to make the mastes: ⁶ and the Okes of Basan to make the rowers. Thy boordes haue they made of yuery, & of costely wood out of the Ile of Cethim. ⁷ Thy sayle was of dyuers colours, small nedle worke out of the lande of Egypt, to hange vpon thy mast: & thy hanginges of yelow sylcke purple, out of the Iles of Elisah. ⁸ They of Sydon & Arnad were thy maryners, and the wysest in Tyre were thy shypmasters. ⁹ The eldest and wysest at Gebal were they, that mended & stopped thy shyppes. All shyppes of the see wt theyr shypmen occupyed theyr marchaundies in the. ¹⁰ The Perses, Lydians and phutens were in thyne host, & helped the to fyght: these hanged vp theyr shyldes & helmettes with the, these sett forth they bewty. ¹¹ They of Arnad were with thyne hoost rounde aboute thy walles, & the Pigmenians were thy watchmen vpon thy towres, these hanged vp theyr quivers rounde aboute thy walles, and made the maruelous goodly. ¹² Tharsis occupyed with the in all maner of wares, in syluer, yron, tynne and lead, and made thy marckett greate. ¹³ Iauan, Tubal, and Mesech were thy marchauntes, which brought the men, and ornamentes of metall for thy occupienge. ¹⁴ They of the house of Thogarma brought vnto the at the tyme of thy marte, horse, horsmen and mules. ¹⁵ They of Dedan were thy marchauntes: and many other Iles that occupyed with the, brought the weathers, Elephant bones & Peacockes for a present. ¹⁶ The Sirians occupied with the, because of thy diuerse worckes, and increased thy marchaundies, with Smaragdes, with scarlet, with nedle worcke, with whyte lynen cloth, with sylcke, and with crystall. ¹⁷ Iuda and the lande of Israel occupied wt the & brought vnto thy markettes, wheat, of Minnith and pannag, balme, hony, oyle, & tryacle. ¹⁸ Damascus also vsed marchaundyes wt the, in the best wyne of Helbon & wt woll: because thy occupieng was so greate, and thy wares so many, ¹⁹ Dan, Iauan & Meusall haue brought vnto thy marckettes, yron redy made, with Cassia & Calamus, accordinge to thine occupyenge. ²⁰ Dedan occupied with the in fayre tapestrye worcke and cusshyns. ²¹ Arabia & al the princes of Cedar haue occupied wt the, in shepe, wethers and goates. ²² The marchauntes of Seba and Rema haue occupied also with the, in all costly spyces, in all precyous stones and golde, which they brought vnto thy marckettes. ²³ Haram, Chene and Eden, the marchauntes of Saba, Assiria, and Chelmad, were all doers wt the, ²⁴ and occupyed with the. In costly rayment, of yelow sylcke & nedle worcke (very precyous, & therfore packte and bounde together with roapes.) Yee, and in Cedre woodde, at the tyme of thy marckettes. ²⁵ The shyppes of Tharsis were the chefe of thy occupyenge. Thus thou art full, and in greate worship, euen in the myddest of the see. ²⁶ Thy robbers shall brynge the into grett waters, the easte winde shall ouerbeare the into the myddest of the see:

¹ The worde of the Lorde came vnto me sayenge: ² thou sonne of man, tell the prince of Tyre: Thus sayeth the Lorde God, because thou hast a proude hert and hast sayde: I am a God, I haue my seate in the myddest of the see lyke a God: where as thou art but a man and not God, and yet standest in thyne awne conceate, that thou arte God: ³ Beholde, thou thynckest thy selfe wyser then Daniel, that there is no secretes hyd from the. ⁴ Wyth thy wysdome and thy vnderstandyng, thou hast gotten the great welthynes, and gathered treasure of syluer and golde. ⁵ With thy greate wysdome and occupyenge, hast thou increased thy power, and because of thy greate rychesse, thy herte is proude. ⁶ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God: For so moch as thou hast lyft vp thyne hert as though thou were God: ⁷ Beholde, I will brynge ennemyes vpon the, euen the tyrauntes of the Heathen: these shall drawe out their sweardes vpon thy bewty and wysdome, & shal defyle thy glory. ⁸ They shall cast the downe to the pitte, so that thou shalt dye in the myddest of the see, ⁹ as they that be slayne. Lett se, yf thou wilt saye then (before them that slaye the) I am God: where as thou art but a man and not God, in the handes of them that slaye the. ¹⁰ Dye shalt thou, euen as the vncircumcised in the handes of the enemyes for I my selfe haue spoken it, sayeth the Lorde God. ¹¹ Moreouer, the worde of the Lorde came vnto me, sayeng: ¹² Thou sonne of man, make a lamentable complaynte ouer the kynge of Tyre, and tell hym: Thus sayeth the Lorde God: thou art a seale of a lykenesse, full of wysdome & excellent bewty. ¹³ Thou hast bene in the pleasaunt garden of God: thou art deckte with al maner of precious stones: with Ruby, Topas, Crystall, Iacynte, Onix, Iaspis, Saphyr, Smaragde, Carbouncle, and golde. Thy bewty and the holes that be in the, were sett forth in the daye of thy creacyon. ¹⁴ Thou art a fayre Cherub exalted by the anoyntyng, stretched wyde out for to couer. I haue sett the in this dignyte vpon the holy mount of God, there hast thou bene, & walcked amonge the fayre glysteringe stones. ¹⁵ From the tyme of thy creacyon thou hast bene ryght excellent, tyll wickednes was founde in the. ¹⁶ Because of thy great marchaundise, thy hert is full of wyckednesse, & thou hast offended. Therfore, wyll I cast the from the mount of God (O thou couering Cherub) and destroye the amonge the glysterynge stones. ¹⁷ Thy hert was proude in thy fayre beuty, and thorow thy bewty thou hast destroyed thy wysdome. I will cast the downe to the grounde, & that in the sight of kynges. ¹⁸ Thou hast defyled thy Sanctuary, wt the greate wyckednes of thy vnryghteous occupyenge. I wyll bringe a fyre from the myddest of the, to consume the: & wyll make the to asshes, in the sight of all them that loke vpon the. ¹⁹ All they that haue bene acquaynted with the amonge the Heathen shalbe abasshed at the, seyng thou art so clene brought to naught, and commest nomore vp. ²⁰ And the worde of the Lorde came vnto me, sayeng: ²¹ Thou sonne of man, set thy face agaynst Sydon. Prophecye vpon it, ²² and speake: Thus sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde, O Sydon, I will vpon the, and gett me honoure in the: that it maye be knowne, how that I am the Lorde: when I punyshe her, and gett me honoure in her. ²³ For I will sende pestilence and bloudsheddyng into her streates, so that those which be slayne with the swearde, shall lye rounde aboute in the myddest of her: and they shall knowe, that I am the Lorde. ²⁴ She shall nomore be a pryckyng thorne, and an hurtyng breer vnto the house of Israell, ner vnto them that lye rounde aboute her, and hate her, & they shal knowe that I am the Lorde. ²⁵ Thus sayeth the Lord God: whan I gather the housholde of Israel together agayne from the nacions amonge whom they be scatered then shall I be sanctifyed in them, in the syght of the Gentyles, & they shall dwell in the land, that I gaue to my seruaunt Iacob. ²⁶ They shall dwell safely therin, buylde houses, & plante vyneyardes: yee, safely shall they dwell therin: when I haue punyshed all those, that despyse them rounde aboute: & then shall they knowe, that I am the Lorde theyr God.

³ and I turned me vnto God the Lorde, for to praye and make myne intercession, with fastynge, sacke clothe & ashes,

⁴ Thou Tirus and Sidon and all ye borders of the Philistines: what haue ye to do wt me? Will ye defye me? well, yf ye will nedes defye me, I shall recompence you, euen vpon your heade, & the ryght worthely: ⁵ for ye haue taken awaye my syluer and golde, my fayre and goodly Iewels, and brought them into your goddes houses. ⁶ The chyldren also of Iuda and Ierusalem haue ye solde vnto the Grekes, that ye myght brynge them farre from the borders of their awne countrees. ⁷ Beholde therfore, I wyll rayse them out of the place, where ye haue solde them, and will rewarde you euen vpon your head. ⁸ Your sonnes and youre daughters wyll I sell thorowe the handes of the chyldren of Iuda, and so they shall geue them forth to sell, vnto them of Saba, a people of a farre countre: for the Lorde him selfe hath sayde it.

²⁰ Then began he to vpbrayd the cyties which most of hys miracles were done in, because they repented not of their synnes. ²¹ Wo vnto the Chorasin: Wo vnto the Bethsaida: for yf the miracles which were shewed in you, had bene done in the cytie of Tyre or Sidon, they had repented of their synnes longe agon in sack cloth and asshes. ²² Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you: it shall be easier for Tyre & Sidon at the daye of iudgement, then for you. ²³ And thou Capernaum, which art lyft vp vnto heuen, shalt be brought downe to hell. For yf the miracles which haue bene done in the, had bene shewed in Zodom: they had remayned vntill this daye.

²² And he came to Bethsayda, and they brought a blinde man vnto hym, and desired hym to touche him. ²³ And he caught the blynde by the hand, and lead him out of the towne: and whan he had spyt in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, he asked him yf he sawe ought. ²⁴ And he loked vp, & sayd: I se the men: for I perceaue them walke, as they were trees. ²⁵ After that, he put hys handes agayne vpon hys eyes, and made hym se. And he was restored, and sawe euery man clearly. ²⁶ And he sent him home to his house, saieng: nether go into the towne, ner tel it to eny in the towne.

¹⁰ And the apostles returned: & tolde him all that they had done. And he toke them, & went asyde into a solitary place nye vnto the cytie that is called Bethsaida. ¹¹ Which whan the people knewe, they folowed him. And he receaued them, & spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God, & healed them that had nede to be healed. ¹² And when the daye beganne to weare awaye, then came the .xij. and sayd vnto him: send the people awaye, that they maye go into the townes and next villages & lodge, and get meate, for we are here in a place of wyldernes. ¹³ But he sayd vnto them: Geue ye them to eate. And they sayd: we haue no mo but .v. loaues and two fysshes, except we shulde go and bye meate for all this people. ¹⁴ And they were about a .v.M. men. And he sayd to his disciples: Cause them to sit downe by fyfties in a companye. ¹⁵ And they dyd so, and made them al to syt downe. ¹⁶ And he toke the fyue loaues and the two fisshes, and loked vp to heauen: and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples, to seet before the people. ¹⁷ And they all dyd eat, & were satisfyed. And there was taken vp of that remayned to them, twelue baskettes full of broken meate.

⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God, ⁶ That whych is borne of the flesshe, is flesshe, and that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete.

²⁵ And when they agreed not amonge them selues, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one worde: well spake the holy ghost by Esay the prophet vnto oure fathers, ²⁶ saying: Go vnto thys people, and saye: wyth youre eares shall ye heare, and shall not vnderstande: and wyth youre eyes shall ye se, & not perceaue. ²⁷ For the hert of thys people is wexed grosse, and wyth their eares haue they had no lust to heare, and their eyes haue they closed: lest they shulde se wyth their eyes, & heare wyth their eares, and vnderstande with their hertes, and shuld be conuerted, and I shuld heale them. ²⁸ Be it knowen therfore vnto you, that thys saluacyon of God is sent to the gentyls, and they shall heare it.

²⁹ And as Esay sayd before: except the Lorde of Saboth had left vs seede, we had bene made as Zodoma, and had bene lykened to Gomorra. ³⁰ What shall we saye then? We saye, that the gentyls which folowed not ryghtewesnes, haue ouertaken ryghtewesnes: euen the ryghtewesnes which cometh of fayth. ³¹ Contrary wyse, Israel which folowed the lawe of rightwesnes could not attaine to the lawe of ryghtewsnes. ³² Wherfore? euen because they sought it not by fayth: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they haue stombled at the stombylynge stone. ³³ As it is wrytten: Behold, I put in Syon a stomblynge stone, & a rocke that men shalbe offended at. And whosoeuer beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded.

⁸ accordynge as it is written. God hath geuen them the sprete of vnquyetnes: eyes that they shuld not se, & eares that they shuld not heare, euen vnto this daye. ⁹ And Dauid sayth: Let their table be made a snare to take them with all, and an occasyon to fall, and a reward vnto them. ¹⁰ Let theyr eyes be blynded that they se not: and bowe thou downe their backe allwaye. ¹¹ I saye then: haue they therfore stombled, that they shuld vtterly fall awaye together. God forbyd: but thorowe theyr fall is saluacyon happened vnto the Gentyls, for to prouoke them withall.

² which speake false thorowe ypocrysye, & haue their consciences marcked wt an hote yron,

³ And I wyll geue power vnto my two witnesses, & they shall prophesy a thousande, two hundred & .lx. dayes, clothed in sacke clothe.

² you only haue I accepted from all the generacyons of the earth: therfore, will I viset you in all your wickednesses.

⁴⁷ The seruaunt that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe, nether dyd accordinge to hys wyll, shalbe beaten with many strypes. ⁴⁸ But he that knewe not, and dyd commytte thynges worthy of strypes, shalbe beaten with fewe strypes. For vnto whomsoeuer moch is geuen, of him shalbe moche requyred. And to whom men haue committed moch: of him wyll they aske the more.

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.

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.

¹ Therfore art thou inexcusable. O man, whosoeuer thou be that iudgest For in that same wherin thou iudgest another thou condemnest thy selfe. For thou that iudgest, doest euen the same selfe thynges.

²⁷ And shall not vncircumcisyon which is by nature (yf it kepe the lawe) iudge the, whych beynge vnder the letter and circumcisyon, doest transgresse the lawe?

⁴ And they sayde: Go to, let vs buylde vs a citie & a tower, whose toppe maye reach vnto heauen: & let vs make vs a name, lest haply we be scatred abrode in to the vpper face of the whole erth.

²⁸ Howe shal we goo vp? Oure brethren haue discoraged oure herte, sayinge: the people is greater & taller then we, and haue cyties greate and walled euen vp to heauen, & moreouer we haue sene the sonnes of the Enakims there.

¹⁴ Therfore gapeth hell, and openeth her mouth maruelous wyde: that theyr pryde, boastinge and welth, with soch as reioyse therin, maye descende into it.

¹³ For thou saydest in thyne herte: I will clyme vp into heauen, & exalte my throne aboue besyde the starres of God, I will syt also vpon the holy mount towarde the North, ¹⁴ I will clyme vp aboue the cloudes, and wylbe lyke the hyghest of al. ¹⁵ Yet thou shalt be brought downe to the depe of hell.

⁵³ Though Babylon clymed vp into heauen, and kepte her power an hye: yet shal I sende her destroyers sayeth the Lorde.

²⁰ Then wil I cast the downe vnto them, that descende into the pitte: vnto a people that hath bene longe deed, and set the in a lande that is beneth, lyke the olde wildernes, with them which go downe to theyr graues, so that no man shall dwell more in the. And I will make the to be nomore in honoure, in the lande of the lyuinge.

¹² Thou sonne of man, make a lamentable complaynte ouer the kynge of Tyre, and tell hym: Thus sayeth the Lorde God: thou art a seale of a lykenesse, full of wysdome & excellent bewty. ¹³ Thou hast bene in the pleasaunt garden of God: thou art deckte with al maner of precious stones: with Ruby, Topas, Crystall, Iacynte, Onix, Iaspis, Saphyr, Smaragde, Carbouncle, and golde. Thy bewty and the holes that be in the, were sett forth in the daye of thy creacyon. ¹⁴ Thou art a fayre Cherub exalted by the anoyntyng, stretched wyde out for to couer. I haue sett the in this dignyte vpon the holy mount of God, there hast thou bene, & walcked amonge the fayre glysteringe stones.

¹⁸ To whom shalt thou be lykened, that art so gloryous and greate, among the trees of Eden? Yet art thou cast downe vnder the earth (amonge the trees of Eden) where thou must lye amonge vncircumcysed, wt them that be slayne wt the swearde. Euen thus is it wt Pharao & all his people, sayeth the Lorde God.

¹⁸ Thou sonne of man. Take vp a lamentacion vpon the people of Egypte, & cast them downe, yee, them I saye, & the myghtye people of the heathen also, euen with them that dwell beneth: and with them that go downe into the graue.

²⁰ Amonge those that be slayne with the swearde, shall they lye. To the swerde is she all redy delyuered: therfore pluck downe to the grounde, her & all her multitude.

²⁷ Shulde not they then lye also amonge the worthyes, & vncircumcised Gyauntes? which with their weapens are gone downe to hell whose sweardes are layed vnder their heades, whose wyckednesse is vpon their bones: because that as worthyes, they haue brought feare into the lande of the lyuing

² Though they were buryed in the hell, my hande shall fetch them from thence: though they clyme vp to heauen, yet shall I cast them downe: ³ though they hyde them selues vpon the toppe of Carmel, yet shall I seke them out, and brynge them from thence: though they crepe downe fro my syght into the depe of the see, I shall commaunde the serpente, euen there to byte them.

⁴ But though thou wentest vp as hye as the Aegle, and madest thy nest aboue amonge the starres: yet wolde I plucke the downe from thence.

¹³ and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum: whych is a cytie vpon the see coast; in the borders of Zabulon & Neptalim:

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

²³ And thou Capernaum, which art lyft vp vnto heuen, shalt be brought downe to hell. For yf the miracles which haue bene done in the, had bene shewed in Zodom: they had remayned vntill this daye.

¹ When he had ended all hys saienges in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum. ² And a certen Centurions seruaunt which was deare vnto hym laye syck, and was in parell of death.

²⁸ There shalbe wepinge & gnasihinge of teth, when ye shall se Abraham and Isaac and Iacob, and all the Prophetes in the kyngdome of God, and ye youre selues thrust out.

²³ And beynge in hell in tormentes, he lyfte vp hys eyes and sawe Abraham a farre of and Lazarus in hys bosome,

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:

⁷ And Moses & Aaron sayde vnto all the children of Israel: at euen ye shall knowe that it is the Lorde, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt:

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

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: How longe do this people prouoke me, and howe longe will it be yer they beleue me: for all the signes which I haue shewed among them?

¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy companye are gathered together against the Lorde? And what is Aaron, that ye murmur agaynst him?

⁶ Shulde not a sonne honoure his father, & a seruaunt his master? Yf I be now a father, where is myne honoure? Yf I be the Lord, where am I feared? sayeth the Lorde of hostes. Now to you prestes, that despyse my name. And yf ye saye: wherin haue we despised thy name?

⁵ And whoso receaueth such a chyld in my name, receaueth me.

³⁷ whosoeuer receaueth eny soche a childe in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth not me, but hym that sent me.

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.

⁴⁴ Iesus cryed, and sayd: he that beleueth on me, beleueth not on me, but on hym that sent me.

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.

⁴ Pertayned it not vnto the onely? & after it was solde, was it not in thyne awne power? Why hast thou conceaued this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.

⁸ He therfore that despyseth, despyseth not man, but God, whych hath sent his holy sprete amonge you.

¹⁷ And these tokens shall folowe them that beleue. In my name they shall cast out deuyls, they shall speake with newe tonges,

¹ After these thynges, the Lorde appoynted other .lxx. also, and sent them two and two before hym into euery cytie & place, whyther he him selfe wolde come.

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

¹² How art thou fallen from heauen (O Lucifer) thou faire mornynge childe? how hast thou gotten a fall euen to the grounde, and art become weaker then the people?

¹⁰ Then sayeth Iesus vnto hym Auoyde Satan. For it is written: Thou shalt worshyp the Lorde thy God, and hym onely shalt thou serue.

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

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

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,

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.

¹ And the fyft Angell blewe, and I saw a starre fall from heauen vnto the erth. And to him was geuen the kaye of the bottomlesse pytt:

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

² And he toke the dragon the olde serpente, which is the deuyll & Satanas, & he bounde hym a thousande yeres:

¹³ Thou shalt go vpon the Lyon and Adder, the yonge Lyon and the Dragon shalte thou treade vnder thy fete.

⁸ The childe whyle he sucketh, shal haue a desire to the serpentes nest, and when he is weaned, he shall put hys hande into the Cockatryce denne.

⁶ Therfore (thou sonne of man) feare them not, nether be afrayed of theyr wordes: for prouokers and thornes are with the. Yee, thou doest dwell amonge scorpions. but feare not theyr wordes, be not abashed at theyr lookes, for it is a frowarde housholde.

¹⁸ they shall dryue awaye serpentes. And yf they drynke any deadly thynge, it shall not hurte them. They shall laye their handes on the sycke, & they shall recouer.

¹⁷ And hated shall ye be of all men for my names sake, ¹⁸ & ther shall not one herre of youre head perysshe.

⁵ And he shouke of the vyper into the fyre, and felt no harme.

³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs? ³² which spared not hys awne sonne, but gaue him for vs all: how can it be, that with hym he shulde not geue vs all thynges also? ³³ Who shall laye eny thynge to the charge of Goddes chosen; it is God that iustyfyeth: ³⁴ who is he that can condempne? it is Chryst which dyed, yee, rather which is rysen agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercessyon for us. ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs from the loue of God? shall tribulacyon? or angusshe? or persecucyon? other honger? ether nakednesse? ether parell? ether swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: for thy sake are we kylled all daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thynges we ouercome thorowe hym that loued vs. ³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come, ³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

⁵ Let your conuersacyon be without coueteousnes and be content with soch thynges as ye haue all ready. For he hath sayd: I will not fayle the, nether forsake the: ⁶ so that we maye boldly saye: the Lorde is my helper, and I will not feare what man maye do vnto me.

⁵ And yf eny man wyll hurt them, fyre shall procede out of their mouthes, and consume their enemyes. And yf eny men wyll hurt them, thys wyse muste he be kylled.

³² And nowe I praye the, eyther forgeue them their synne: or (yf thou wilt not) wipe me out of thy booke, which thou hast wrytten.

²⁸ Let them fall from one wyckednesse to another, and not come into thy ryghteousnesse.

³ Then shall the remnaunt in Sion & the remnaunt at Ierusalem be called holy: Namely all soch as are wrytten among the lyuynge at Ierusalem:

⁹ Myne handes shall come vpon the prophetes that loke out vayne thinges, and preach lyes: they shall not be in the councell of my people, ner wrytten in the boke of the house of Israel, nether shall they come in the lande of Israel: that ye maye knowe, howe that I am the Lorde God.

¹ The tyme wyll come also, that the great prince Michael, which standeth on thy peoples side, shal aryse vp, for there shall come a tyme of trouble, soch as neuer was, sens there began to be eny people, vnto that same tyme. Then shall thy people be delyuered, yee, all those that be founde wrytten in the boke.

²² Many wyll saye to me in that daye: Lord, Lorde, haue we not prophecyed thorow thy name? And thorow thy name haue cast out deuyls? And done many miraracles thorow thy name? ²³ And then wyll I knowledge vnto them. I neuer knewe you. Departe fro me, ye that worcke iniquyte.

¹ And whan his .xij. disciples were called vnto him, he gaue them power agaynst vncleane spretes, to cast them out, and to heale all maner of syckenesse, and all maner of dysease.

²⁴ The sonne of man truly goeth, as it is written of him: but wo vnto that man, by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. It had bene good for that man, if he had not bene borne.

⁵ And he cast downe the syluer plates in the temple, and departed and went and hanged hym selfe.

² And though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode all secretes, and all knowledge: yee yf I haue all fayth, so that I can moue mountayns oute of their places, and yet haue no loue, I am nothynge. ³ And though I bestowe all my goodes to fede the poore, and though I geue my body euen that I burned, and yet haue no loue, it profyteth me nothynge.

³ Yee and I beseche the faythfull yockefelowe, helpe the wemen which laboured with me in the Gospell, and with Clement also, and with other my laboure felowes whose names are in the boke of lyfe.

²³ and vnto the congregacion of the fyrst borne sonnes; whych are wrytten in heauen, and to God, the iudge of all, & to the spretes of iust and parfecte men,

⁵ He that ouercommeth, shalbe thus clothed in whyte araye, and I wyll not put out his name out of the boke of lyfe, and I wyll confesse hys name before my father, and before hys Angels.

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

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:

¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde wrytten in the boke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fyre.

²⁷ And there shall enter into it none vncleane thinge, nether whatsoeuer worketh abhomynacion or maketh lyes: but they only which are wrytten in the lambes boke of lyfe.

¹² He destroyeth the deuyces of the sotyll, so that their handes are not able to performe any stedfast thing. ¹³ He compaseth the wyse in their awne craftynes, and ouerthroweth the councell of the wycked. ¹⁴ In somoche that they runne into darcknes by fayre daye, and grope aboute them at the none daye, lyke as in the nyght.

² Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklynges hast thou ordeyned strength because of thyne enemyes, that thou myghtest styll the enemye and the auenger.

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

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

¹⁴ Therfore wyll I do maruayls amonge this people, euen maruelous thinges (I saye) & a wonder. For the wysdome of their wise men shall perysh, & the vnderstanding of their wittye men shall hyd it selfe.

¹⁸ And in that daye shall deaffe men heare the wordes of the boke, and the eyes of the blinde shall se euen out of the cloud and out of darcknes. ¹⁹ The meke spreted also shalbe mery in the Lorde, and the poore amonge them that be lowly, shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.

⁸ There shalbe fote pathes & comen stretes, this shalbe called the holy waye. No vnclene person shall go thorowe it: for the Lorde him self shall go with them that waye, and the wayferer, nor ignoraunt shall not erre.

¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes.

⁵ And lyke as a yonge man taketh a daughter to mariage, so shall thy sonnes be maryed vnto the. And as a bryde grome is glad of hys bryde, so shall thy God reioyse ouer the.

¹ Thus sayeth the Lorde: Heauen is my seate, & the earth is my fote stole. Where shall nowe the house stande, that ye wyll buylde vnto me? And where shall be the place, that I wyll dwell in?

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.

²⁵ At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes, ²⁶ verely father, euen so was it thy good pleasure. 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.

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. ¹² For whosoeuer hath, to him shall be geuen: and he shall haue aboundaunce. But whosoeuer hath not: from him shalbe taken awaye euen that also which he hath. ¹³ Therfore speake I to them by similitude: for they seinge, se not: and hearinge, they heare not: nother do they vnderstand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfylled the prophecie of Esaias, which sayth: with the eares ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand and seinge ye shall se, and shall not perceaue. ¹⁵ For these peoples hertes is wexed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearynge, and theyr eyes haue they closed, lest at any tyme they shuld se with their eyes, and heare with their eares, & shuld understand with their herte, & be conuerted, that I also myght heale them. ¹⁶ But blessed are youre eyes, for they se: & youre eares, for they heare.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hym: happy art thou Simon the sonne of Ionas, for fleshe & bloud hath not opened that vnto the but my father which is in heuen.

¹⁶ and sayd vnto him: hearest thou what these saye? But Iesus saieth vnto them why not? haue ye neuer redde. Out of the mouth of babes & suckelynges thou haste ordeyned prayse?

¹⁵ Uerely I saye vnto you, whosoeuer doth not receaue the kyngdome of God as a childe, he shal not entre therin.

⁵ And when he hath founde it, he laieth it on his shulders with ioye.

⁹ And when she hath founde it, she calleth her louers and her neyghbours together, sayinge: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde the grote which I had lost.

⁴¹ Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where he that had bene deed, was layde. And Iesus lyft vp his eyes, and sayd: Father, I thanke the, that thou hast hearde me.

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. 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.

⁹ God is faythfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellyshyppe of hys sonne Iesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ I beseche you brethren by the name of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thinge, and that there be no dissencion amonge you: but that ye maye be a whole body: of one mynde and of one meanynge. ¹¹ For it is shewed vnto me (my brethren) of you, by them which are of the house of Cloe, that ther is stryfes amonge you. ¹² I speake of the same that euery one of you sayeth: I holde of Paul: I holde of Apollo: I holde of Cephas: I holde of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ deuyded? Was Paul crucifyed for you? ether were ye baptysed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thanke God, that I baptysed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ lest eny shuld saye, that I had baptysed in myne awne name. ¹⁶ I baptised also the house of Stephana. Furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptised eny man or no. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptyse, but to preache the Gospell, not wt wysdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ shulde haue bene made of none effecte. ¹⁸ For the preaching of the crosse, is to them that perisshe, foolishnes: but vnto vs which are saued it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is wrytten: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll cast awaye the vnderstandynge of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the disputer of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde foolishnes? For after that the worlde thorowe wysdome knewe not God, in the wysdome of God, it pleased God thorowe foolyshnes of preachynge, to saue them that beleue. ²² For the Iewes require a sygne, and the Grekes seke after wysdome. ²³ But we preache Christ crucifyed, vnto the Iewes an occasyon of fallynge, and vnto the Grekes foolysihnes: ²⁴ but vnto them whych are called both of the Iewes & Grekes, we preache Christ the power of God and the wysdome of God. ²⁵ For the foolishnes of God, is wyser then men: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men. ²⁶ Brethren, ye se your callynge, how that not many wyse men after the flesshe, not many myghty, not many of hye degre, are called: ²⁷ But God hath chosen the folisshe thynges of the worlde, to confounde the wyse. And God hath chosen the weake thynges, of the worlde, to confounde thynges whych are myghtye. ²⁸ And vyle thynges of the worlde, & thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, yee and thinges of no reputacyon, for to brynge to nought thynges of reputacyon, ²⁹ that no flesshe shulde reioyce in hys presence.

⁶ We speake of wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world, nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych go to nought) ⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory: 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.

¹⁸ Let no man deceaue him selfe. If eny man seme wyse to hym selfe amonge you, let hym become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse. ¹⁹ For the wysdom of thys worlde is folyshnes with God. For it is wrytten: he compaseth the wyse in theyr craftynes. ²⁰ And agayne: God knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse, that they be vayne.

³ If oure Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd amonge them that are lost,

⁵ Which ordeyned vs before thorowe Iesus Christ to be heyres vnto hym selfe, accordinge to the good pleasure of hys wyll,

¹¹ euen by hym by whom we are made heyres, and were therto predestinate accordynge to the purpose of hym by whose power all thynges are wrought accordinge to the purpose of hys awne wyll:

² that theyr hertes myght be comforted whan they are knet together in loue, and in all ryches of full vnderstandynge, for to knowe the mistery of God the father, and of Chryst, ³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes & al gyle, & faynednesse & enuy and all backbytinge: ² & as new borne babes, desyre ye that mylke (not of the body but of the soule) which is wt out disceate that ye maye growe ther by

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.

¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotten sonne, whych is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym.

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

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.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last daye. ⁴⁵ It is written in the Prophetes: and they shalbe all taught of God. Euery man therfore that hath hearde, and hath learned of the father, commeth vnto me. ⁴⁶ Not that eny man hath sene the father, saue he which is of God: the same hath sene the father.

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me, euen so knowe I also my father. And I geue my lyfe for the shepe:

³ Iesus knowynge that the father had geuen all thinges into hys handes, and that he was come from God, and went to God:

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

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

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

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.

²⁴ Then commeth the ende, when he hath delyuered vp the kyngdome to God the father, when he hath put downe all rule and all auctorite & power.

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.

²¹ aboue all rule, & power, & myght and dominion, and aboue euery name that is named, not in this worlde onely, but also in the worlde to come:

⁹ Wherfore, God also hath exalted him on hye, and geuen him a name which is aboue all names: ¹⁰ that in the name of Iesus euery knee shulde bowe, both of thinges in heauen and thynges in erth and thynges vnder the erth, ¹¹ and that all tonges shulde confesse, that Iesus Christ is the Lorde, vnto the prayse of God the father.

⁸ Thou hast put all thynges in subieccyon vnder hys fete. In that he put all thynges vnder him, he left nothynge that is not put vnder him.

²⁰ We knowe, that the sonne of God is come, and hath geuen vs a mynde to knowe hym which is true: & we are in hym that is true, through is sonne Iesu Christ. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe.

⁹ Whosoeuer transgresseth & bydeth not in the doctryne of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father & the sonne.

¹⁶ But blessed are youre eyes, for they se: & youre eares, for they heare. ¹⁷ Uerely I saye vnto you, that many prophetes & righteous men haue desyred to se those thinges which ye se, & haue not sene them: & to heare those thinges which ye heare, and haue not hearde them.

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham was glad to se my daye: and he sawe it, & reioysed.

¹³ These all dyed accordinge to fayth, whan they had not receaued the promises: but sawe them a farre of, and beleued them, & saluted them, and confessed, that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.

³⁹ And these all thorow faith obtained good reporte, & receaued not the promes,

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.

¹⁶ And beholde, one came, & sayd vnto him: good master, what good thynge shall I do that I maye haue eternall lyfe? ¹⁷ He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes. ¹⁸ He sayeth vnto hym. Whych? Iesus sayde Thou shalt not commit manslaughter. Thou shalt not commyt aduoutrye: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: ¹⁹ honoure father and mother: and thou shalt loue thyne neybour as thy selfe.

³⁴ But when the pharises had heard, that he had put the Saduces to sylence, they came together, ³⁵ & one of them which was (a doctour of lawe) asked him a question, temptinge him, & saying: ³⁶ Master, which is the greate commaundement in the lawe? ³⁷ Iesus sayd vnto hym: Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God wyth all thy herte, and wyth all thy soule, & wyth all thy mynde. ³⁸ This is the fyrst & greate commaundement. ³⁹ And the seconde is lyke vnto it. Thou shalt loue thyne neyboure as thy self.

³⁰ But the pharises and lawers despised the councell of God agaynst them selues, and were not baptised of hym.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawears, and sayde vnto him: Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also. ⁴⁶ And he sayde: wo vnto you also ye lawers: for ye lade men with burthens which they be not not able to beare: and ye youre selues touche not the packes with one of youre fyngers.

¹⁸ And a certayne ruler asked him, sayinge: good master, what ought I to do, to obtaine eternall lyfe?

³⁰ and brought them out, & sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saued? ³¹ And they sayde: beleue on the Lorde Iesus, & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde.

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

²⁰ If eny man want lyght, leet hym loke vpon the lawe, and the testimony, whether they speake not after this meaning.

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,

¹⁴ For yf they whych are of the lawe, be heyres, then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte. ¹⁵ Because the lawe causeth wrath. For where no lawe is, there is no transgressyon. ¹⁶ Therfore by fayth is the inheritaunce geuen, that it myght come of fauoure: that the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them onely whych are of the lawe: but to them also which are of the fayth of Abraham, which is the father of vs all.

⁵ For Moses wrytteth of the ryghtewesnes which cometh of the lawe, how that the man whych doth the thynges of the lawe, shall lyue therby.

¹² The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfylleth the thinges shal lyue in them. ¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree,

²¹ Is the lawe then agaynst the promes of God? God forbyd. For yf there had bene a lawe geuen which coulde haue geuen lyfe: then no doute ryghtewesnes shulde come by the lawe. ²² But the scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne, that the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shulde be geuen vnto them that beleue.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not auenge thy selfe nor be myndfull of wronge agaynst the chyldren of my people but shalt loue thy neyghboure euen as thy selfe. I am the Lorde.

⁵ and thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thyne harte, & with all thy soule, & with all thy might.

¹² And nowe Israel, what doth the Lord thy God requier of the but to feare the Lorde thy God, and to walke in all hys wayes, to loue hym, and to serue the Lorde thy God with all thyne herte & with all thy soule:

⁶ And the Lorde thy God wyll circumcyse thyne hert, and the hert of thy seed, that thou mayest loue the Lord thy God wythall thyne hert, and all thy soule, that thou mayst lyue.

¹⁹ honoure father and mother: and thou shalt loue thyne neybour as thy selfe.

³⁷ Iesus sayd vnto hym: Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God wyth all thy herte, and wyth all thy soule, & wyth all thy mynde. ³⁸ This is the fyrst & greate commaundement. ³⁹ And the seconde is lyke vnto it. Thou shalt loue thyne neyboure as thy self. ⁴⁰ In these two commaundementes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.

³⁰ And thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thy hert, & wyth all thy soule, and wyth all thy mynde, and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundment. ³¹ And the seconde is lyke vnto thys: Thou shalt loue thy neyghbour as thy selfe. Ther is none other commaundment greater then these.

³³ And to loue hym wyth all the herte, and wyth all the mynde, & wyth all the soule, & wyth all the strength: and to loue a mans neyghbour as hym selfe, is a greater thynge, then all burt offerynges and sacrifyces. ³⁴ And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly, he sayde vnto hym: Thou art not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that, durst aske hym any questyon.

⁹ For these commaundementes. Thou shalt not commytt aduoutry: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt not beare false wytnes: thou shalt not lust, and so forth (yf there be eny other commaundement) it is all comprehended in thys sayinge, Namely: Loue thyne neyghbour as thy selfe.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into libertye: only let not youre libertye be an occasion vnto the flesshe: but by loue serue one another.

¹⁰ For this is the testament, that I wyll make wt the house of Israel: After those dayes (sayth the Lord) I wyll put my lawes in their myndes, and in their hertes I will write them, and I wylbe their God, and they shalbe my people.

⁸ Yf ye fulfyll the royall lawe, accordynge to the scripture. (Thou shalte loue thyne neghboure as thy selfe) ye do well.

¹⁸ My babes, let vs not loue in worde, nether in tonge: but in dede & in veritie.

⁵ Ye shall kepe therfore myne ordinaunces, & my iudgementes whiche yf a man doo, he shall lyue in them. I am the Lorde.

²⁹ & testyfyedst vnto them, that thou myghtest bryng them agayne vnto thy lawe. Not withstandyng, they were proude, & herkened not vnto thy commaundementes, but synned in thy lawes (whych yf a man do he shall lyue in them,) and turned the shoulder awaye, and were styffnecked, and wolde not heare.

¹¹ I gaue them my commaundementes, & shewed them my lawes, which whoso kepeth shall lyue in them:

¹³ And yet the house of Israel rebelled agaynst me in the wyldernesse, they wolde not walcke in my commaundementes, they haue cast a waye my lawes (which whoso kepeth shulde lyue in them) and my Sabboth dayes haue they greatly vnhalowed. Then I made me to poure out myne indignacyon vpon them, & to consume them in the wyldernesse.

²¹ Notwythstandynge, their sonnes rebelled agaynst me also: they walked not in my statutes they kepte not my lawes to fulfyll them (which he that doth shall lyue in them) nether halowed they my Sabboth dayes. Then I made me agayne to poure out my indignacion ouer them, & to satisfye my wrath vpon them in the wyldernesse.

¹⁷ He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes.

³⁴ And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly, he sayde vnto hym: Thou art not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that, durst aske hym any questyon.

⁴³ Simon answered and sayd: I suppose that he to whom he forgaue most. And he sayde vnto hym: Thou hast truly iudged.

⁴ For Christ is the fulfyllyng of the lawe, to iustyfye all that beleue.

¹² The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfylleth the thinges shal lyue in them.

³⁴ But the straunger that dwelleth wyth you, shall be as one of youre selues, and thou shalt loue hym as thy selfe, for ye were straungers in the lande of Egypt. I am the Lorde youre God.

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

⁴³ Ye haue heard that it is sayde, thou shalt loue thyne neyghbour, and hate thyne enemy. ⁴⁴ But I saye vnto you: loue your enemyes. Blesse them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which hurt you and persecute you,

³⁶ Which now of these thre thynkest thou, was neyghbour vnto him that fell among the theues?

¹⁵ And he sayd vnto them: Ye are they which iustifye youre selues before men: but God knoweth youre hertes. For that which is hyghlye estemed amonge men, is abhominable in the syght of God.

⁹ And he tolde this parable, vnto certayne which trusted in them selues that they were perfecte, and despysed other ¹⁰ Two men went vp into the temple to praye: the one a Pharise, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharyse stode and prayed thus with hym selfe: God, I thancke the, that I am not as other men are, extorsioners, vniuste, aduoutrers, or as this publycan.

² If Abraham were iustyfyed by dedes, then hath he wherin to reioyce: but not wt God.

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.

¹¹ That no man is iustifyed by the lawe in the syght of God, it is euydent. For the iuste shall lyue by fayth.

²⁴ Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustifyed, and not of fayth onely.

⁴ Fre amonge the deed, lyke vnto them that be wounded lye in the graue, whych be out of remebraunce, and are cut awaye from thy hande:

⁵² Wherfore, beholde (sayeth the Lord) the tyme commeth, that I wyll viset the ymages of Babylon, and thorowe the whole land they shall mourne and fall.

¹² Euen when they spake to theyr mothers: where is meate and dryncke? for whyle they so sayde, they fell downe in the stretes of the cytie, lyke as they had bene wounded, and some dyed in theyr mothers bosome.

²⁴ Agayne I will strength the arme of the kyng of Babylon, & geue him a sweard in his hand: but I will breake Pharaos arme so that he shall holde it before him pyteously, lyke a wounded man.

³¹ Iesus toke vnto him the twelue, & sayd vnto them: Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, and all shalbe fulfylled, that are wrytten by the Prophetes, of the sonne of man.

²⁸ And when he had thus spoken, he proceaded forth, takynge hys iourney, to go vp to Ierusalem.

³ And she went, and came to the felde, and geathered after the reapers, and her chaunce was, that the same felde pertayned vnto Booz, which was of the kynred of Elimelec.

⁶ The younge man that tolde him, answered: I came by chaunce to mount Gilboa: And beholde, Saul leaned vpon his speare. For the charettes and companyes of horsemen folowed harde after him.

¹⁴ He that is in tribulacyon ought to be comforted of hys neyghbour: but the feare of the Lord is cleane awaye. ¹⁵ Myne awne brethren passe ouer by me as the water brooke, and as the ryuer of water, do hastely go awaye. ¹⁶ But they that feare the hore frost, the snowe shall fall vpon them. ¹⁷ When theyr tyme commeth, they shalbe destroyed and peryshe: when they be sett on fyre, they shalbe remoued out of theyr place, ¹⁸ for the pathes that they go in, are croked: they haste after vayne thynges, and shall perysh. ¹⁹ They turne them to the pathes of Theman, and to the wayes of Saba, wherin they haue put their trust. ²⁰ Confounded are they that put eny confydence in them. For whan they come to obtayne the thynges that they loke for, they are brought to confusion. ²¹ Euen so are ye also come vnto me: but now that ye se my misery, ye are afrayed.

¹⁰ My hert panteth, my strength hath fayled me, & the lyght of myne eyes is gone fro me. ¹¹ My louers & my neyghbours dyd stande lokynge vpon my trouble, & my kynsmen stode a farre of.

²⁰ Thou hast knowen my reprose, my shame and my dyshonour: myne aduersaries are all in thy syght.

⁴ I cryed vnto the, O Lorde, and sayde: thou arte my hope, and my porcyon in the lande of the lyuynge.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth hys eares at the cryenge of the poore: he shall crye hym selfe, and not be hearde.

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

¹¹ So I turned me vnto other thinges vnder the Sunne, & I sawe, that in runnyng, it helpeth not to be swyft: in batayle, it helpeth not to be stronge: to fedynge, it helpeth not to be wyse, so riches, it helpeth not to be suttell: to be had in fauoure, it helpeth not to be connyng: but that all lyeth in tyme & fortune.

³¹ The prophetes teache falsely, and the preestes receyue gyftes, & my people hath pleasure therin: What wil come therof at the last?

¹ O ye prestes: heare this, take hede, O the housholde of Israel: gene care, O thou kyngly house, for it wer youre parte to se Iudgement done, but you are become a snare vnto Myzphah, and a spred net vnto the mount of Thabor.

⁹ And as theues armed wayte for him that passeth by the waye: such is the councell of the prestes whych with one agreed counsell murther cruelye suche as kepe the waye: ye they dare do all vnspeakable myschefe.

¹⁰ Yee, what is he amonge you, that wyl do so moch as to shut the dores, or to kindle the fyre vpon myne aulter for naught? I haue no pleasure in you, sayeth the Lord of hostes: and as for the meatoffringe, I wyl not accepte it at youre hande.

¹³ For he shal haue iudgement without mercy that sheweth no mercy: and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement. ¹⁴ What auayleth it my brethren, though a man saye he hath fayth, yf he haue no dedes? Can fayth saue hi ¹⁵ If a brother or a syster be naked & destitute of dayly fode, ¹⁶ & one of you saye vnto them: departe in peace, God send you warmnes & fode, not wtstandyng ye geue them not those thinges which are nedful to the body, what shal it helpe?

¹⁶ Herby perceaue we loue: because he gaue his lyfe for vs: & we ought to geue oure liues for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whoso hath thys worldes good and seyth hys brother haue neade: and shutteth vp his compassion from him: how dwelleth the loue of God in hym? ¹⁸ My babes, let vs not loue in worde, nether in tonge: but in dede & in veritie.

²⁵ Helpe me (O Lord my God) oh saue me accordynge to thy mercye.

¹⁰ Thyne awne frende and thy fathers frende se thou forsake not: but go not into thy brothers house in tyme of thy trouble. For better is a frende at hand then a brother farre of.

¹⁷ Then all the Grekes toke Softenes the chefe ruler of the Synagoge, and smote hym before the iudges seate, And Gallio cared for none of those thynges.

² For men shalbe louers of theyr awne selues, coueteous, boasters, proude, cursed speakers, dysobedient to fathers and mothers, vnthankfull, vngodly,

⁶ And when she had opened it, she sawe it was a chylde: and beholde, the babe wepte. And she had compassyon on it, and sayde: it is one of the Hebrues chyldren.

⁵⁰ and be mercyfull vnto thy people, that haue synned agaynst the, and vnto all theyr iniquyties, wherby they haue done wyckedly agaynst the, and get thou them the fauoure of those which led them awaye captyue, that they maye haue compassyon on them.

⁷ So Ieremy stack fast in the myre. Now when Abedmelech the Morian beynge a chamberlayne in the kynges courte, vnderstode, that they had cast Ieremy into the dongeon: ⁸ he went out of the kynges house, and spake to the kynge, (which then sat vnder the porte of BenIamin) these wordes: ⁹ My Lorde the kynge, where as these men medle with Ieremye the prophet, they do hym wronge: Namely, in that they haue put him in preson, there to dye of honger, for there is no more bread in the cytie. ¹⁰ Then the kynge commaunded Abedmelech the Morian and sayde: Take from hence .xxx. men whom thou wylt, & drawe vp Ieremy the prophet out of the dongeon, before he dye. ¹¹ So Abedmelech toke the men wt him, and went to the house of the kynge, and there vnder the treasurie gatt olde ragges & worne cloutes, and lett them downe by a coarde, into the dongeon to Ieremy. ¹² And Abedmelech the Morian sayde vnto the prophet Ieremy: O, put these ragges and cloutes vnder thyne arme holes, betwyxte them and the coardes: & Ieremy dyd so. ¹³ So they drewe vp Ieremy with coardes & toke him out of the dongeon, & he remayned in the fore entrye of the preson.

¹⁶ Goo and tell Abedmelech the Morian: Thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes the God of Israel: Beholde, the cruell and sharpe plage that I haue deuysed for this cytie, will I bringe vpon them, that thou shalt se it: ¹⁷ but I wyll delyuer the (sayeth the Lorde) and thou shalt not come in the handes of those men, whom thou fearest. ¹⁸ For doutles I wyll saue the, so that thou shalt not perish wt the swearde: but thy lyfe shalbe saued, and that because thou hast put thy trust in me, sayeth the Lorde.

⁵ Iesus sent forth these twelue in nombre, whom he commaunded, saying. Go not into the waye of the gentyls, and into the cytie of the Samaritans enter ye not.

³³ shuldest not thou also haue had compassion on thy felow, euen as I had pytie on the?

⁵² and sent messengers before him. And they went and entred into a cytie of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. ⁵³ And they wold not receaue him, because his face was as though he wold go to Ierusalem.

¹⁶ and fell doune on hys face at hys fete, and gaue hym thankes. And the same was a Samaritane. ¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & sayde: are ther not ten clensed? But where are those nyne? ¹⁸ Ther are not founde that returned agayne, to geue God prayse, saue only this straunger.

⁹ Then sayeth the woman of Samaria vnto him: howe is it, that thou beinge a Iewe, askest drincke of me, which am a Samaritane? For the Iewes medle not with the Samaritans.

⁴⁸ Then answered the the Iewes, and sayd vnto him: Saye we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast the deuyll?

²⁷ And as one of them opened hys sacke, for to geue hys asse prauender in the Inne, he spyed hys money: for it was in hys sackes mouth.

²⁴ And it chaunced by the waye in the ynne that the Lorde mett hym, and wolde haue kylled him.

⁴ Yf thou mete thyne enemies oxe or asse goynge astraye, thou shalt brynge them to hym agayne. ⁵ If thou se thyne enemies asse synke vnder his burthen, thou shalt not passe by and let hym alone: but shalt helpe hym to lyfte hym vp agayne.

³ He healeth those that ar broken in harte & gyueth medycine to heale ther sycknes.

¹⁷ Reioyce not thou at the fall of thyne enemye, & lett not thyne herte be glad when he stombleth. ¹⁸ Lest the Lord (when seith it) be angrye, and turne hys wrath from hym vnto the.

²¹ If thyne enemye honger, feade him: yf he thryst, geue him drinke: ²² for so shalt thou heape coales of fyre vpon hys head, and the Lorde shall rewarde the.

⁵ Wherby shulde ye be plaged any more for ye are euer fallinge awaye. The whole head is syck, & the hert is heuy. ⁶ From the sole of the fote vnto the head, there is no whole parte in all your body: but all are woundes, botches, sores, & strypes, whych can nether be helped, bounde vp, molifyed, ner eased wt any oyntment.

⁴³ Ye haue heard that it is sayde, thou shalt loue thyne neyghbour, and hate thyne enemy. ⁴⁴ But I saye vnto you: loue your enemyes. Blesse them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which hurt you and persecute you, ⁴⁵ that ye maye be the children of your father which is in heauen: for he maketh his sonne to aryse on the euell, & on the good, & sendeth rayne on the iust & on the vniust.

⁸ She hath done that she coulde: she came a fore hande, to anoynt my body to the buryinge.

⁷ And she broughte forth her fyrst begotten sonne, & wrapped him in swadlinge clothes, and layde him in a maunger, because ther was no rowme for them in the ynne.

²⁰ Therfore, yf thyne enemy honger, fede him: yf he thyrst, geue hym dryncke. For in so doyng thou shalt heape coles of fyre on hys heade.

¹⁵ Se that none recompence euyll for euyll vnto eny man: but euer folowe that whych is good, both amonge your selues, and to all men.

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

² And whan the agrement was made wyth the labourers for a peny a daye, he sent them into hys vineyarde.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call the poore, the feble, the lame, and the blynde,

²³ Gayus myne hoste & the hoste of all the congregacion, saluteth you. Erastus the treasorer of the cytie, saluteth you. And Quartus a brother saluteth you.

²⁵ He sayeth: yee. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented hym saying. What thinkest thou Simon? of whom do the kynges of the erth take trybute or toll, Of theyr chyldren, or of straungers?

²⁸ What saye ye to this? A man had two sonnes, & cam to the fyrst, & sayde: sonne, go & worke to daye in my vineyarde. ²⁹ He answered & sayde, I wyll not, but afterward, he repented, & went. ³⁰ Then cam he to the seconde, & sayd lykewise. And he answered, & sayd: I will syr, & went not. ³¹ Whether of them twayne dyd the wyll of the father? And they saye vnto him: the fyrst. Iesus sayeth vnto them: verely I saye vnto you, the publicans & harlotes go into the kyngdom of God before you.

⁴² saying: what thynke ye of Chryst? Whose sonne is he? They saye vnto him: the sonne of Dauid.

⁴² When they had nothynge to paye, he forgaue them both. Tell me therfore, which of them wyll loue hym most?

²¹ Whoso despyseth his neyghbour doth a misse: but blessed is he the hath pytie of the poore.

⁶ For I haue pleasure in louyng kyndnesse and not in offringe: yee, in the knowledge of God, more then in burntsacrifyce.

⁸ I will shewe the, O man, what is good, & what the Lorde requyreth of the Namely, to do right, to haue pleasure in louinge kyndnesse, to be lowly, & to walcke wt thy God,

²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

²³ Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites: For ye tyth mynt, and anyse, & commyn, & haue leaft the wayghtier matters of the lawe: iudgement, mercy, & fayth. These ought ye to haue done, & not to leaue the other vndone.

³² And yf ye loue them which loue you, what thanke haue ye? For synners also loue theyr louers. ³³ And yf ye do good for them which do good for you, what thanke haue ye? For synners also do euen the same. ³⁴ And yf ye lende to them of whom ye hope to receaue: what thanke haue ye? for synners also lende to synners, to receaue soch lyke agayne. ³⁵ But loue ye youre enemyes, and do good, and lende, lokynge for nothynge agayne: and your reward shalbe greate, and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the euyll. ³⁶ Be ye therfore mercyfull, as your father also is mercyfull.

¹⁵ For I haue geuen you an ensample that ye shulde do, as I haue done to you. ¹⁶ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: the seruaunte is not greater then his master, nether the messenger greater then he that sent hym. ¹⁷ If ye vnderstande these thinges happy are ye, yf ye do them.

⁹ For ye knowe the liberalytie of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that though he was ryche, yet for youre sakes he became poore that ye, thorowe hys pouertye, myght be made ryche.

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.

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

⁹ Neuerthelesse, we se not yet all thynges subdued vnto him: but him that was made lesse then the angels, we se that it was Iesus, which is crowned with glory and honour for the sofferynge of death: that he by the grace of God, shulde tast of deeth for all men. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all thinges and by whom are all thynges (after that he had brought many sonnes vnto glory) that he shulde make the Lorde of their saluacyon perfecte thorowe affliccyons. ¹¹ For both he that sanctifyeth and they which are sanctyfyed, are all of one. For whych causes sake he is not a shamed to call them brethren, ¹² sayinge: I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddes of the congregacyon wyll I prayse the. ¹³ And agayne: I wyll put my trust in hym. And agayne: beholde, here am I and the chyldren whom God hath geuen me. 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, ¹⁵ and that he myght delyuer them, which thorowe feare of deeth were all there lyfe tyme subdued vnto bondage.

²¹ For here vnto verely were ye called: for Christ also suffered for vs leauynge vs an ensample, that ye shulde folowe his steppes,

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. ²⁴ And he that kepeth hys commaundementes, dwelleth in him, & he in him, and herby we knowe that he abydeth in vs, euen by the sprete which he hath geuen vs.

¹⁰ Herin is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, & sent hys sonne to be the agrement for oure synnes. ¹¹ Dearly beloued, yf God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another.

⁵ & from Iesus Christ, which is a faythfull wytnes, & fyrst begotten of the deed: & Lorde ouer the kynges of the erth. Unto him that loued vs, and wesshed vs from oure synnes in hys awne bloude,

² And also certayne women, which were healed of euell spretes, and infirmytes. Mary which is called Magdalen (oute of whom wente seuen deuyls) ³ and Ioanna the wyfe of Chusa. Herodes stewarde, and Susanna, and many other, which minystred vnto hym of theyr substaunce.

¹ A certen man was syck, named Lazarus of Bethania the towne of Mary, and her syster Martha. ² It was that Mary which anoynted Iesus with oyntment, and wyped his fete wt her hear, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ Therfore, his syster sent vnto him, saying: Lord, beholde, he whom thou louest, is sicke. ⁴ Whan Iesus herd that, he sayde: this infirmitie is not vnto death: but for the prayse of God, that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it. ⁵ Iesus loued Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

¹⁹ and many of the Iewes came to Martha & Mary to comforte them ouer their brother. ²⁰ Martha assone as she heard that Iesus was commynge, went and met hym: but Mary sate styll in the house.

¹ Then Iesus (syxe dayes before Easter) came to Bethany, wher Lazarus had ben deed, whome he raysed from death. ² Ther they made hym a supper, and Martha serued, but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table wt him. ³ Then toke Mary a pound of oyntment (called Nardus, perfecte and precious) and anoynted Iesus fete, and wyped his fete with her hear, & the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment.

¹⁰ If ther come eny vnto you, & bringe not this learninge, him receaue not to house: nether byd him God spede.

³ And he loued the people. All hys sayntes also are in thy handes. They were smytten to go after thy fete, and to receaue of thy wordes.

³⁴ Blessed is the man that heareth me, watchynge dayly at my gates, and geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.

⁴⁶ And it fortuned that after .iij. dayes, they founde him in the temple, syttynge in the middes of the doctours, hearyng them, & posynge them

³⁵ And they came out to se what was done: and came to Iesus, & founde the man (out of whom the deuyls were departed) sittyng at the fete of Iesus: clothed, & in his right mynde, and they were afrayed.

¹ A certen man was syck, named Lazarus of Bethania the towne of Mary, and her syster Martha.

³ Then toke Mary a pound of oyntment (called Nardus, perfecte and precious) and anoynted Iesus fete, and wyped his fete with her hear, & the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment.

³ I am verely a man which am a Iewe borne in Tarsus a cytie in Cycile: neuertheles, yet brought vp in thys cytie, at the fete of Gamaliell, and informed dilygently in the lawe of the fathers, and was seruent mynded to God warde, as ye all are thys same daye,

³² I wolde haue you without care. He that is vnmaryed, careth for the thynges that belong to the Lord, howe he maye please the Lord. ³³ But he the hath maryed a wyfe careth for the thinges that are of the worlde, howe he maye please his wyfe. ³⁴ There is difference betwene a virgin & a wife. The syngle woman careth for the thinges that are of the Lorde, that she maye be holy both in bodye & also in sprete. Agayne: she that is maryed, careth for the thinges that pertayne to the worlde, how she maye please her husbande. ³⁵ This speake I for youre profet, not to tangle you in a snare: but that ye maye folowe it which is honest & comly, & that ye maye cleaue vnto the Lorde without separacion. ³⁶ If eny man thynke that it is vncomly for his virgin, yf she passe the tyme of maryage, and yf so nede require, let him do what he lysteth, he synneth not: let them be coupled in mariage. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, he that purposeth surely in his herte, hauynge no nede: but hath power ouer his awne will: & hath so decreed in his hert, that he will kepe his virgin, doth well. So then, he that ioyneth his virgin in mariage doth well. ³⁸ But he that ioyneth not his virgin in mariage, doth better. ³⁹ The wyfe is bounde to the mariage, as longe as her husband lyueth. If her husband dye, she is at libertie to mary with whom she will, onely in the Lorde. ⁴⁰ But she is happier, yf she so abyde, after my iudgement. And I thinke verely, that I haue the sprete of God.

¹ Therfore Ionas was sore dyscontent and angrie. ² And he prayed vnto the Lorde, and sayde: O Lorde, was not thys my sayinge (I praye the) when I was yet in my countre? therfore I hasted rather to fle vnto Tharsis, for I knowe wel ynough that thou art a mercyfull God, full of compassyon, longe sufferyng, and of great kyndnes and repentest when thou shuldest take punyshment, ³ And now O Lord, take my lyfe fro me (I beseche the) for I had rather dye then lyue. ⁴ Then sayde the Lord: art thou so angrie?

¹⁵ And when the euen drewe on, his disciples came to him, saying: this is a deserte place, & the houre is now past, let the people departe, that they maye go into the townes, and bye them vytaylles.

²² And when Peter had taken him asyde, he began to rebuke him, saying: master, fauer thy selfe, this shal not happen vnto the:

²¹ And when they that belonged vnto hym, heard of it, they went out to laye handes vpon him. For they sayde: he is madd.

⁵⁵ Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, saying: ye wote not what maner spret ye are of.

²⁹ And aske not ye what ye shall eate, or what ye shall drincke, nether clime ye vp an hye:

²⁷ Laboure not for the meate whych perissheth, but for that whych endureth vnto euerlastinge lyfe, whych meate the sonne of man shall geue vnto you. For hym hath God the father sealed.

¹¹ Many thinges ther be that increace vanite, & what hath a man els.

²⁵ Therfore I saye vnto you: be not carefull for youre lyfe, what ye shall eate or drincke, nor yet for youre bodye, what rayment ye shall put on. Is not the lyfe more worth then meat: and the body more of value then rayment? ²⁶ Behold, the foules of the ayer: for they sowe not, nether do they reape, nor cary into the barnes: and youre heuenly father fedeth them. Are ye not moch better then they? ²⁷ Whych of you (by takynge carefull thought) can adde one cubyte vnto hys stature? ²⁸ And why care ye for rayment? Consydre the lylies of the felde, how they growe. They laboure not, nether do they spynne. ²⁹ And yet I saye vnto you, that euen Salomon in all hys royalte was not arayed lyke one of these. ³⁰ Wherfore, yf God so cloth the grasse of the felde (which though it stande to daye, is to morow cast into the fornasse) shall he not moch more do the same for you, O ye of lytle fayth? ³¹ Therfore, take no thought, saying: what shall we eate, or what shall we dryncke, or wherwith shall we be clothed? ³² after all these thynges do the gentyls seke. For youre heuenly father knoweth, that ye haue nede of all these thynges. ³³ But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of God, and the ryghteousnesse therof, and al these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you. ³⁴ Care not then for the morow, for the morowe daye shall care for it selfe: sufficient vnto the daye, is the trauayle therof.

¹⁹ & the cares of this worlde, and the disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges, entre in and choke the worde, and it is made vnfrutfull:

¹⁴ And that which fell amonge thornes, are they which whan they haue heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and ryches, and volupteous lyuinge, and brynge forth no frute.

²² And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you. Take no thought for youre lyfe, what ye shall eate: nether for the body, what ye shall put on.

³⁴ Take hede to your selues, lest at anye tyme youre hertes be ouercome with surfettynge and dronkennes and cares of thys lyfe, and so the daye come vpon you vnwares.

³² I wolde haue you without care. He that is vnmaryed, careth for the thynges that belong to the Lord, howe he maye please the Lord. ³³ But he the hath maryed a wyfe careth for the thinges that are of the worlde, howe he maye please his wyfe. ³⁴ There is difference betwene a virgin & a wife. The syngle woman careth for the thinges that are of the Lorde, that she maye be holy both in bodye & also in sprete. Agayne: she that is maryed, careth for the thinges that pertayne to the worlde, how she maye please her husbande. ³⁵ This speake I for youre profet, not to tangle you in a snare: but that ye maye folowe it which is honest & comly, & that ye maye cleaue vnto the Lorde without separacion.

⁶ Be carefull for nothynge: but in all prayer and supplicacyon let youre peticyons be manifeste vnto God with geuynge of thankes.

¹⁹ I call heauen & erth to recorde this daye agaynst you, that I haue set before you lyfe and death, blessynge & cursynge: Therfore chose lyfe, that both thou and thy seed maye lyue,

¹⁵ And yf it seme euell vnto you to serue the Lorde, then chose you this daye whom you will serue: whether the goddes which youre fathers serued (that were on the other syde of the floude) ether the Goddes of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. As for me and my howse, we will serue the Lorde.

²² And Iosua sayde vnto the people: ye are witnesses youre selues, that ye haue chosen you the Lorde, to serue him: and they sayd: we are wytnesses.

⁵ Their drinckoffrynges of bloude will not I offre, nether make mencion of their names within my lyppes. ⁶ The Lorde hym selfe is the porcion of myne enheritaunce: and of my cup: thou shalt maynteyne my lot.

¹⁵ They haue children at their desyre: & leaue the reste of theyr substaunce for theyr babes. But as for me, I wyll beholde thy presence in righteousnes: & when I awake vp after thy lykenes, I shalbe satisfyed with it.

⁴ One thynge haue I desyred of the Lorde, which I will requyre: euen that I maye dwell in the house of the Lorde all the dayes of my lyfe: to beholde the fayre bewtie of the Lorde, and to vyset this temple.

²⁵ Whom haue I in heauen but the? And there is none vpon earth, that I desyre in comparyson of the.

³⁰ I haue chosen the waye of truth, and thy iudgementes haue I layed before me.

¹¹¹ Thy testymonies haue I claymed as myne heritage for euer: and why? they are the very ioye of my hert.

¹⁷³ Let thyne hande helpe me, for I haue chosen thy commaundementes.

⁵ Consydre my complaynte: for I am brought very lowe.

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

³⁶ For what shall it profet a man, yf he wynne all the world, and lose his awne soule:

¹⁸ Take hede therfore, howe ye heare. For whosoeuer hath, to hym shalbe geuen: And whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken: euen that same which he supposeth that he hath.

²⁰ But God sayd vnto him. Thou fole, this nyght will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall those thynges be, which thou hast prouided?

³³ Sell that ye haue, and geue almes. And prepare you bagges, which wexe not olde, euen a treasure that fayleth not in heauen, where no thefe commeth, nether moth corrupteth.

² And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare thys of the? Geue acomptes of thy stewardshype: For thou mayste be no longer steward.

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.

²² When Iesus hearde that, he sayd vnto hym: Yet lackest thou one thynge. Sell all that thou hast, and distrybute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me.

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.

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.

²⁷ my shepe heare my voyce: and I knowe them, & they folowe me, ²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande.

³ This is lyfe eternal, that they might knowe the, the onely true God, & Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

³ And though I bestowe all my goodes to fede the poore, and though I geue my body euen that I burned, and yet haue no loue, it profyteth me nothynge.

⁶ For in Iesu Christ, nether is circumcisyon any thynge worth, nether yet vncircumcysion but faith which worketh by loue.

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him: which is the heed of all rule and power, ¹¹ by whom also ye are circumcised with circumcisyon which is done with out handes, for asmoche as ye haue put of the synfull body of the flesshe thorowe the circumcisyon that is in Christ, ¹² in that ye are buried with hym thorowe bapti me, in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth, that is wrought by the operacyon of God which raysed him from deeth. ¹³ And ye whan ye weare deed thorowe synne and thorowe the vncircumcisyon of youre flesshe, hath he quyckned with him, and hath forgeuen vs all oure trespaces ¹⁴ and hath put out the hande wrytynge that was agaynst vs, contayned in the lawe written: and that hath he taken out of the waye, and hath fastened it to hys crosse, ¹⁵ and hath spoyled rule and power, and hath made a shewe of them openly, and hath triumphed ouer them in his awne person. ¹⁶ Let no man therfore trouble youre consience aboute meate and dryncke or for a pece of an holy daye, or of the newe mone, or of the Sabboth dayes, ¹⁷ which are shaddowes of thinges to come: but the body is in Chryst. ¹⁸ Let no man make you shote at a wronge marke, by the humblenes and holynes of angels, in the thynges which he neuer sawe, beynge causelesse puft vp with his flesshly mynde, ¹⁹ & holdeth not the heed, wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norisshment & is knet together, and encreaseth with the increasynge that commeth of God.

³ For ye are deed, and youre lyfe is hyd with Chryst in God. ⁴ Whensoeuer Chryst (which is oure lyfe) shall shewe hym selfe, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glory.

⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you, ⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme,

¹¹ because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of hys sonne. And this is that recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, & this lyfe is in hys sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: & he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe.
