³³ Be not ye deceaued: euell wordes corrupte good maners.

⁷ And Nathan sayth to Dauid: thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel, I anoynted the kynge ouer Israel, and rydde the out of the hande of Saul, ⁸ I gaue the thy masters house, and thy masters wyues into thy bosome, and gaue the, the house of Israel and of Iuda, & might (yf that had bene to lytle) haue geuen the so moche moare. ⁹ Wherfore then hast thou despised the commaundement of the Lorde, to do wyckednesse in hys syght? thou hast kylde Urias the Hethite with the swerde, and hast taken his wife to thy wyfe, & hast slayne hym with the swerde of the chyldren of Ammon. ¹⁰ Nowe therfore, the swerde shall neuer depart from thyne house, because thou hast despysed me, and taken the wyfe of Urias the Hethite, to be thy wife. ¹¹ Wherfore thus sayth the Lorde: beholde, I wyll stere vp euell agaynst the, euen out of thyne awne house, & wyll take thy wyues before thyne eyes, and geue them vnto thy neyghboure, and he shall lye wyth thy wyues in the syght of the sonne. ¹² For thou dydest it secretly, But I wyll do thys thynge before all Israel, and in the open sonne lygth. ¹³ And Dauid sayde vnto Nathan I haue synned agaynst the Lorde. And Nathan sayd vnto Dauid: the Lorde also hath put awaye thy synne, thou shalt not dye.

⁷ At that same tyme, Hanani the sear came to Asa kyng of Iuda, & sayde vnto hym: because thou hast trusted in the kyng of Siria, and not rather put thy trust in the Lorde thy God, therfore is the host of the kynge of Siria escaped out of thyne hande. ⁸ Had not the blacke mores and Lubim an exceadinge great hoost with many charettes and horsemen? And yet because thou trustedest in the Lorde, he delyuered them into thyne hande. ⁹ For the eyes of the Lorde beholde all the erth, to strength them that are of perfecte hert towarde him. Herin thou hast done folyshly, and therfore from hensforth thou shalt haue warre. ¹⁰ And Asa was wroth with the fear, & put him into a preson house, for he was displeased with hym because of thys thynge. And Asa destroyed certayne of the people the same ceason.

¹⁶ And it chaunced, that as the prophete talked with hym the kynge sayde vnto hym: haue men made the of the kynges councell? cease, why wylt thou be beaton? And the prophete ceased and sayde: I am sure that God is mynded to destroye the, because thou hast done this, and agreest not vnto my councell.

⁵ Thou shalt prepare a table before me agaynst them that trouble me: thou hast anoynted my head wt oyle, & my cuppe shalbe full.

¹⁸ O be fauorable & gracyous vnto Syon, buylde thou the walles of Ierusalem.

⁴ Do well, O Lorde, vnto those that be good and true of herte

²³ For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyght: yee chastenyng and nourtoure is the waye of lyfe

⁸ Reproue not a scorner lest he owe the euell wyll: but rebuke a wyse man, and he wyll loue the. ⁹ Geue a discrete man but an occasyon, and he wylbe the wyser: teache a ryghteous man, and he wyll increase in knowledge.

⁵ A foole despyseth hys fathers correccyon, but he that taketh hede whan he is reproued shall haue the more vnderstandinge.

²² Unaduysed thoughtes shall come to naught, but where as men are that canne geue councell, there is stedfastnesse.

²⁵ If thou smytest a scornefull persone, the ignoraunt shall take better heed: and yf thou reprouest one that hath vnderstondynge, he wylbe the wyser.

¹² The correccion of the wyse is to an obedient eare, a golden cheine & a Iewell of golde.

⁵ An open rebuke is better then a secrete loue. ⁶ Faythfull are the woundes of a louer, but the kysses of an enemye are cruell.

⁵ It is better to geue care to the chastenynge of a wyse man then to heare the songe of fooles.

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,

¹¹ But when Peter was come to Antioche I withstode him openly, because he was worthy to be blamed. ¹² For yer that certayne cam from Iames, he dyd eate with the Gentyls. But when they were come, he withdrue and separated hym selfe from them, fearynge them which were of the circumcisyon. ¹³ And the other Iewes dissembled as well as he: in so moche that Barnabas also was brought into their symulacion. ¹⁴ But when I sawe that they went not the right waye after the trueth of the Gospell, I sayde vnto Peter before them all: yf thou beynge a Iewe, lyuest after the maner of the Gentyls, and not as do the Iewes: why causest thou the Gentyls to lyue as do the Iewes?

¹ Brethren, if a man also be taken in eny faute, ye which are spirituall, helpe to amende hym in the sprete of meaknes: consyderinge thy selfe, lest thou also be tempted.

¹⁶ The Lorde geue mercye vnto the housholde of Onesyphorus for he ofte refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chayne: ¹⁷ but when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, & founde me. ¹⁸ The Lorde graunt vnto hym that he maye fynde mercye with the Lorde at that daye. And in howe many thynges he ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

¹⁴ If eny be diseased amonge you, let hym call for the elders of the congregacyon, and let them praye ouer him, & anoynte him with oyle in the name of the Lorde, ¹⁵ and the prayer of fayth shall saue the sycke, and the Lord shal rayse him vp: and yf he haue commytted synnes, they shalbe forgeuen hym. ¹⁶ Knowledge youre fautes one to another: and praye one for another, that ye maye be healed. For the feruent prayer of a ryghteous man auayleth moch.

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

¹ The Philistines fought agaynst Israel and the men of Israel fledd awaye from the Philistines, & fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa. ² And the Philistynes preased sore vpon Saul & his sonnes, & slewe Ionathas, & Abinadab & Melchisua Sauls sonnes. ³ And whan the battell went sore agaynst Saul, the archers with bowes founde hym, & he was sore afrayed of the archers. ⁴ Then sayd Saul vnto his harnesberer draw out thy swerde, & thrust me thorowe therwyth, lest these vncircumcised come, & thrust me thorowe and make a mockynge stocke of me. But hys harnesberer wolde not, for he was sore afrayed. And Saul toke a swerde, and fell vpon it. ⁵ And when his harnesberer sawe that Saul was deed, he fell lykewyse vpon his swerde, & dyed wyth hym. ⁶ And so Saul dyed, & his thre sonnes, and his harnesberer, and all hys men that same daye togeather. ⁷ And when the men of Israel that were on the other syde of the valeye, & they of the other syde Iordan, heard, that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and hys sonnes were deed, they left the cyties, & ranne awaye and the Philistines cam, and dwelt in them. ⁸ On the morowe when the Philistines were come to spoyle them that were slayne, they founde Saul and hys thre sonnes lyenge in mount Gilboa.

¹⁷ And Dauid mourned with thys lamentacyon ouer Saul and ouer Ionathas hys sonne, ¹⁸ and bad teache the chyldren of Israel the vse of the bowe. And Beholde, it is wrytten in the boke of the ryghtwes. ¹⁹ O noble Israell, the wounded are slayne vpon thy hilles: Oh howe are the myghtie ouerthrowen. ²⁰ Tell yt not in Gath, nor publishe it in the streats of Ashalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines reioyse, and lest the daughters of the vncircumcysed triumphe. ²¹ Ye mountaynes of Gilboa, vpon you be nether dewe nor rayne, not vpon these feldes of offerynges. For there the shilde of the myghtie is cast downe: the shylde of Saul, as though he had not bene anoynted with oyle. ²² The bowe of Ionathas & the swerde of Saul turned neuer backe agayne emptie, from the bloude of the slayne, & from the fatte of the myghtye warryoures. ²³ Saul and Ionathas were louely & pleasaunt in their lyues, and in their deathes they were not deuided: They were swifter then Egles, and stronger then Lyons. ²⁴ Ye daughters of Israel, wepe ouer Saul, which clothed you in purple with pleasures, and hanged ornamentes of golde vpon your apparell. ²⁵ Howe were the myghtye slayne in battell? Ionathas is deed on the hye hylles. ²⁶ Woo is me for the (my brother Ionathas) verye kynde hast thou bene vnto me. Thy loue to me was wonderfull, passynge the loue of wemen. ²⁷ O howe are the myghtie ouerthrowen, and the wepons of warre destroyed?

⁴ And the men of Iuda came, and there they anoynted Dauid kynge, ouer the house of Iuda. And they tolde Dauid sayinge: It is the men of Iabes in Gilead that buryed Saul. ⁵ And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabes in Gilead, and sayde vnto them: blessed are ye vnto the Lorde, that ye haue shewed soche kyndnesse vnto youre Lorde Saul, and haue buryed him. ⁶ And nowe the Lorde shewe mercye & truthe vnto you. And I wyll do you also soche kyndnesse as ye haue done in thys thynge.

¹ Then cam all the trybes of Israel to Dauid, vnto Hebron and sayd, Beholde, we are of thy bone, and of thy fleshe. ² And in tyme past when Saul was oure kynge, thou leddest Israel in and oute. And the Lorde hath sayd to the: thou shalt fede my people Israell, and thou shalt be a captayne ouer Israel. ³ And so all the elders of Israel came to the kynge to Hebron. And kyng Dauid made a couenaunt wyth them in Hebron before the Lord. And they annoynted Dauid kyng ouer Israell.

¹ These be the last sayinges of Dauid. Dauid the sonne of Isay sayde. And the man (which was made, the anoynted of the God of Iacob, and the noble Psalmist of Israel) sayde:

¹ And the Philistines fought agaynst Israel. And the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, & were ouerthrowen & wounded in Mounte Gilboa. ² And the Philistines folowed, & were fearce after Saul & his sonnes, & the Philistines smote Ichonathan & Abinadab & Malchisua the sonnes of Saul: ³ And the battell went sore agaynst Saul, & the archers founde hym, and he was wounded of shoters. ⁴ Then sayde Saul to his wepon bearer drawe thy swerde, and thrust me thorow therwith, that these vncircumcised come not and do me shame. But hys wepon bearer wolde not, for he feared excedynglye. So Saul caught a swerde, and fell vpon it. ⁵ And when his harnesbearer sawe that Saul was deed, he fell on a swerde also and dyed. ⁶ And thus Saul and his thre sonnes, and all they of hys house dyed together. ⁷ And when all the men of Israel that were in the valeye, sawe howe they fled, and that Saul and his sonnes were deed, they forsoke theyr cyties and ranne awaye, and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.

¹ Then all Israel gathered them selues to Dauid vnto Hebron sayenge: Behold, we be thy bones and thy flesshe. ² And moreouer in tyme past, euen when Saul was kynge, thou leddest Israel out & in. And the Lorde thy God sayde vnto the: thou shalt fede my people Israel, and thou shalt be captayne ouer my people Israel. ³ Therfore came all the elders of Israel to the kynge, to Hebron, and Dauid made a couenaunt with them in Hebron, before the Lorde. And they annoynted Dauid kynge ouer Israel, accordyng to the worde of the Lorde by the hande of Samuel.

³⁸ All these were men of warre, kepynge the forefront of the batell with perfect hart, and came to Hebron to make Dauid kynge ouer all Israel. And all the rest of Israel was of one accorde, to make Dauid king.

² and sayd vnto all the congregacyon of Israel: If it seme you good, and to be of the Lorde oure God, we wyll take and sende vnto oure brethren that are left in all the lande of Israel, & with them also, to the preastes and Leuites which are in their cyties & Suburbes, togather them together vnto vs.

¹² And other ten thousande dyd the chyldren of Iuda take alyue, and caryed them vnto the toppe of a rocke, and cast them downe from the toppe of the rocke, that they all to burst:

² My tong is the penne of a ready wryter.

²² And all bare hym wytnes and wondred at the gracious wordes, which proceaded out of of hys mouth, and they sayde: Is not thys Iosephs sonne?

¹⁸ And the kyng sayde to Doeg: turne thou, and fall vpon the preastes. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ranne vpon the preastes, and slue that same daye foure skore & fyue persones, that dyd weare a lynnen Ephod. ¹⁹ And Nob the cytie of the preastes smote he wyth the edge of the swerde, both men & wemen, children and sucklynges, oxen and asses and shepe.

²² For thy sake also are we kylled all the daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne.

⁵ They were afraied, where no feare was: for God hath broken the bones of hym that beseged the: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath despysed them.

³⁶ As it is written: for thy sake are we kylled all daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne.

⁹ Also we receaued an answer of deeth in oure selues, that we shuld not put oure trust in our selues: but in God, whych rayseth the deed to lyfe,

³⁷ were stoned, were hewen asunder, were tempted, were slayne wt swearde, walked vp & downe in shepe skynnes, and goates skynnes, being destitute, troubled & vexed:

⁸ And their bodyes shall lye in the stretes of the greate citye, which spritually is called Zodom and Egypte, where oure Lorde was crucyfyed. ⁹ And they of the people & kynredes, & tonges, & they of the nacyons, shall se their bodyes .iii. dayes and an halfe, & shall not suffre their bodyes to be put in graues.

¹² O our God, wylt thou not iudge them: for we haue no myght agaynst thys great companye that commeth agaynst vs. Nether wote we what to do: but oure eyes be vnto the.

¹² Kysse the sonne, lest he be angrye, & so ye perysshe from the waye, yf his wrath be kyndled (yee but a lytle) blessed are all they that put theyr trust in hym.

¹ To the chaunter, A Psalme of Dauid. In the Lorde put I my trust: howe saye ye then to my soule: that she shulde fle as a byrde vpon your hyll?

¹⁵ Myne eyes are euer lokynge vnto the Lord, for he shall plucke my fete out of the net. ¹⁶ Turne the vnto me, & haue mercy vpon me: for I am desolate, and in misery. ¹⁷ The sorowes of my herte are enlarged: O bryng thou me out of my troubles.

¹⁷ Whan he turneth him vnto the prayer of the poore destitute, & despyseth not theyr desyre.

¹ A songe of the steares. Vnto the lyft I vp myne eyes, thou that dwellest in the heauens. ² Beholde, euen as the eyes of seruauntes loke vnto the hande of their masters: and as the eyes of a mayden vnto the hande of her mastresse, euen so our eyes wayte vpon the Lorde oure God, vntyll he haue mercy vpon vs.

³ For the enemy hath persecuted my soule: he hath smyten my lyfe downe to the grounde: he hath layed me in the darcknes, as the men that haue bene longe deed. ⁴ Therfore is my sprete vexed within me: and my herte within me is desolate.

¹⁷ When the thyrsty and poore seke water & fynde none, and when theyr tonge is drye of thyrst. I geue it them sayth the Lorde. I the God of Israel forsake them not.

¹⁸ I wyll not leaue you comforteles: but will come to you:

¹² They also that sought after my life, layed snares for me: & they that went aboute to do me euell, talked of wickednesse, & ymagined disceate all the daye longe.

¹¹⁰ The vngodly haue layed a snare for me, but yet swarued not I from thy commaundementes.

⁵ The proude haue layed a snare for me: and spred a net abroad with coardes: yee, & set trappes in my waye Sela.

³ I loked also vpon my right hande, and se, there was no man that wolde knowe me. I had no place to flee vnto, and no man cared for my soule.

¹⁴ The lawe is a well of lyfe vnto the wyse, that it maye kepe hym from the snares of death:

²² Lett the noyse be herde out of their houses, when the murtherer commeth sodenly vpon them. For they haue dygged a pyt to take me, & layed snares for my fete.

²⁰ And they watched hym, & sent forth spies, which shuld fayne them selues ryghteous men, to take him in hys wordes, and to delyuer him vnto the power & auctorite of the debyte.

¹⁰ So they hanged Haman on the galowes, that he had made for Mardocheus. Then was the kynges wrath pacified.

¹⁵ He hath grauen and dygged vp a pytte, & is fallen hym selfe into the destruccyon that he made (for other.) ¹⁶ For his trauayll shall come vpon his awne head & his wickednes shall fall vpon hys awne pate.

⁸ Let a soden destruction come vpon him vnawares: & hys net that he hath layed priuely, catch hym selfe, that he maye fall into hys awne myschefe.

¹⁴ The vngodly haue drawen out the swerde, and haue bended their bowe, to cast downe the poore and nedye, and to slaye soch as be of a ryght conuersacion. ¹⁵ Their swerde shall go thorow their awne herte, & their bowe shalbe broken.

⁷ But God shal sodenly shote at them with a swift arowe, that they shalbe wounded. ⁸ Yee, their awne tonges shall make them fall, in so moch that who so seeth them, shall laugh them to scorne.

⁹ Let the mischefe of their awne lippes fall vpon the heed of them, that compasse me about.

⁸ The ryghteous shalbe delyuered out of trouble, and the vngodly shall come in his steade.
