¹³ When Pylate hearde yt sayinge he brought Iesus forthe and sate doune to geve sentece in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge Gabbatha.

⁷ which was with ye ruler of the countre won Sergius Paulus a prudet man. The same ruler called vnto him Barnabas and Saul and desyred to heare the worde of God.

¹² Then the rular when he sawe what had happened beleved and wodred at the doctryne of the Lorde.

⁵⁰ But the Iewes moved ye worshypfull and honorable wemen and the chefe men of the cyte and reysed persecucio agaynst Paul and Barnabas and expelled them oute of their costes.

² But the unbelevinge Iewes steryd vp and vnquyeted the myndes of the Gentyls agaynste the brethre.

¹⁹ Thither came certayne Iewes fro Antioche and Iconium and optayned the peoples consent and stoned Paul and drewe him oute of the cyte supposynge he had bene deed.

⁵ But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.

¹³ When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.

¹⁶ and he drave them from the seate. ¹⁷ Then toke all the Grekes Sostenes the chefe rular of the synagoge and smote him before the iudges seate. And Gallio cared for none of tho thinges.

²⁷ And when he was disposed to goo into Acaia the brethren wrote exhortynge the disciples to receave him. After he was come thyther he holpe them moche which had beleved thorowe grace.

²⁷ And as the seven dayes shuld have bene ended ye Iewes which were of Asia when they sawe him in the teple they moved all the people and layde hondes on him ²⁸ cryinge: men of Israel helpe. This is the man that teacheth all men every where agaynst the people and the lawe and this place. Moreover also he hath brought Grekes into the teple and hath polluted this holy place. ²⁹ For they sawe one Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the cyte. Him they supposed Paul had brought into the teple. ³⁰ And all the cyte was moved and the people swarmed to geder. And they toke Paul and drue him out of the teple and forthwith the dores were shut to. ³¹ As they went about to kyll him tydinges came vnto the hye captayne of the soudiers that all Ierusalem was moved. ³² Which immediatly toke soudiers and vndercaptaynes and ranne doune vnto them. When they sawe ye vpper captayne and the soudiers they lefte smytinge of Paul. ³³ Then the captayne came neare and toke him and comaunded him to be bounde with two chaynes and demaunded what he was and what he had done. ³⁴ And one cryed this another that amoge the people. And whe he coulde not knowe the certayntie for ye rage he comaunded him to be caryed into the castle. ³⁵ And whe he came vnto a grece it fortuned that he was borne of the soudiers of the violence of the people. ³⁶ For the multitude of the people folowed after cryinge: awaye wt him.

¹⁰ Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.

²⁶ For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certayne distribucio vpo the poore saynctes which are at Ierusalem.

⁵ Lyke wyse grete all the copany that is in thy housse. Salute my welbeloved Epenetos which is the fyrst frute amoge them of Achaia.

¹⁵ Brethren (ye knowe the housse of Stephana how yt they are the fyrst frutes of Achaia and that they have appoynted them selves to minister vnto the saynctes)

² for I knowe youre redynes of mide wherof I bost my silfe vnto them of Macedonia and saye that Achaia was prepared a yeare a goo and youre ferventnes hath provoked many.

¹⁰ Yf the trueth of Christ be in me this ieioysynge shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia.

⁷ so that ye were an ensample to all that beleve in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸ For from you sounded out the worde of the lorde not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but youre fayth also which ye have vnto god spred her silfe abroade in all quartars so greatly that it nedeth not vs to speake eny thynge at all.

⁶ But ye have despised the poore. Are not the rych they which opresse you: and they which drawe you before iudges?

¹³ and brought forth falce witnesses which sayde. This ma ceasith not to speake blasphemous wordes agaynst this holy place and the lawe:

⁴ And he preached in ye synagoge every saboth daye and exhorted the Iewes and the gentyls.

¹⁵ but yf it be a question of wordes or of names or of youre lawe loke ye to it youre selves. For I wilbe no iudge in soche maters

²⁸ cryinge: men of Israel helpe. This is the man that teacheth all men every where agaynst the people and the lawe and this place. Moreover also he hath brought Grekes into the teple and hath polluted this holy place.

⁵ We have founde this ma a pestilent felowe and a mover of debate vnto all the Iewes thorowe out the worlde and a mayntayner of ye secte of the Nazarites ⁶ and hath also enforsed to pollute the temple. Whom we toke and wolde have iudged acordinge to oure lawe:

⁸ as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.

¹⁹ And they brought him vnto him. And assone as ye sprete sawe him he tare him. And he fell doune on the grounde walowinge and fomynge.

¹² But before all these they shall laye their hondes on you and persecute you delyueringe you vp to the sinagoges and into preson and bringe you before kynges and rulers for my names sake. ¹³ And this shall chaunce you for a testimoniall. ¹⁴ Let it sticke therfore faste in youre hertes not once to stody before what ye shall answere: ¹⁵ for I will geve you a mouth and wisdome where agaynste all youre adversarys shall not be able to speake nor resist.

¹⁸ and aboute the tyme of .xl. yeares suffred he their maners in the wyldernes.

³⁹ But Paul sayde: I am a ma which am a Iewe of Tharsus a cite in Cicill a Citesyn of no vyle cite I beseche ye soffre me to speake vnto ye people.

²⁷ This man was take of the Iewes and shuld have bene killed of them. Then cam I with soudiers and rescued him and perceaved that he was a Romayne. ²⁸ And when I wolde have knowen the cause wherfore they accused him I brought him forth into their cousell. ²⁹ There perceaved I yt he was accused of questios of their lawe: but was not giltye of eny thinge worthy of deeth or of bondes.

¹¹ If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.

¹⁸ Agaynst who when ye accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed: ¹⁹ but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve. ²⁰ And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.

²⁶ Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.

¹ Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe. ² I thynke my selfe happy kynge Agrippa because I shall answere this daye before the of all the thinges wherof I am accused of ye Iewes

³ For rulars are not to be feared for good workes but for evyll Wilt thou be with out feare of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praysed of the same.

¹ Wolde to god ye coulde suffre me a lytell in my folysshnes: yee and I praye you forbeare me.

⁴ For if he that commeth preache another Iesus then hym whom we preached: or if ye receave another sprete then that which ye have receaved: other another gospell then that ye have receaved ye myght right wel have bene content.

² which can have compassion on the ignoraunt and on them that are out of the waye because that he him silfe also is compased with infirmitie:

¹⁴ Not withstondynge happy are ye yf ye suffre for rightewesnessis sake. Ye and feare not though they seme terrible vnto you nether be troubled: ¹⁵ but sanctifie the Lorde God in youre hertes. Be redy all wayes to geve an answere to every man that axeth you a reson of the hope that is in you and that with meaknes and feare:

⁴ sayinge: I have synned betrayinge the innocent bloud. And they sayde: what is that to vs? Se thou to that.

²⁴ When Pilate sawe that he prevayled nothinge but that moare busines was made he toke water and wasshed his hondes before ye people sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iuste person and that ye shall se.

³¹ Then sayd Pylate vnto the: take ye him and iudge him after youre awne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him. It is not lawfull for vs to put eny ma to deeth.

²⁹ There perceaved I yt he was accused of questios of their lawe: but was not giltye of eny thinge worthy of deeth or of bondes.

⁶ and hath also enforsed to pollute the temple. Whom we toke and wolde have iudged acordinge to oure lawe: ⁷ but the hye captayne Lisias came vpon vs and with great violence toke him awaye out of oure hodes ⁸ comaundinge his accusars to come vnto the. Of who thou mayst (yf thou wilt enquyre) knowe the certayne of all these thinges where of we accuse him.

¹⁹ but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.

³ namely because thou arte experte in all customes and questions which are amonge the Iewes. Wherfore I beseche the to heare me paciently.

⁴ nether geve hede to fables and genealogies which are endlesse and brede doutes more then godly edyfyinge which is by fayth:

⁴ he is pufte vp and knoweth nothynge: but wasteth his braynes aboute questions and stryfe of wordes wherof sprynge envie stryfe raylinges evyll surmysinges

²³ Folisshe and vnlearned questions put from the remebrynge that they do but gendre stryfe.

⁹ Folisshe questions and genealogies and braulinges and stryfe aboute the lawe avoyde for they are vnproffitable and superfluous.

³ For rulars are not to be feared for good workes but for evyll Wilt thou be with out feare of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praysed of the same. ⁴ For he is the minister of God for thy welth. But and yf thou do evyll then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for nought: but is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on them that do evyll.

² speake vnto ye childre of Israel and saye vnto them: when ether man or woman appoynteth to vowe a vowe of abstinence for to abstene vnto the Lorde

⁵ And as longe as the vowe of his abstinece endureth there shall no rasure nor sheres come apon his heed vntill his dayes be out which he fasteth vnto the Lorde and he shalbe holy and shall let the lockes of his heer growe. ⁶ As longe as he abstencth vnto the Lorde he shall come at no deed bodye: ⁷ he shall not make him selfe vncleane at the deeth of his father mother brother or syster. for the abstinece of his God is apon his heed. ⁸ And therfore as longe as his abstynence lasteth he shalbe holy vnto the Lorde. ⁹ And yf it fortune that any man by chaunce dye sodenly before him and defyle the heed of his abstinece then must he shaue his heed the daye of his clesynge: euen the seuenth daye he shall shaue it.

¹⁸ And ye absteyner shall shaue his heed in ye dore of ye tabernacle of witnesse ad shall take the heer of his sober heed and put it in ye fyre which is vnder the peaseofferynge.

²³ and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethre which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia.

²⁰ Vnto the Iewes I became as a Iewe to winne ye Iewes. To the that were vnder the lawe was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe to wynne the that were vnder the lawe.

²¹ After that I went into the costes of Siria and Cilicia:

²¹ but bad the fare well sayinge. I must nedes at this feast that cometh be in Ierusalem: but I will returne agayne vnto you yf God will. And he departed from Ephesus

²⁴ And a certayne Iewe named Apollos borne at Alexandria came to Ephesus an eloquent man and myghty in the scriptures.

¹⁷ And this was knowen to all ye Iewes and Grekes also which dwelt at Ephesus and feare came on them all and they magnified the name of ye lorde Iesus.

¹⁶ for Paul had determined to leave Ephesus as they sayled because he wolde not spende ye tyme in Asia. For he hasted to be (yf he coulde possible) at Ierusalem at the daye of pentecoste.

³² That I have fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men what avautageth it me yf the deed ryse not agayne? Let vs eate and drynke to morowe we shall dye.

¹⁸ The lorde graunt vnto him that he maye fynde mercie with the lorde at that daye. And in how many thynges he ministred vnto me at Ephesus thou knowest very wel.

¹² And Tichicus have I sent to Ephesus.

¹¹ sayinge: I am Alpha and Omega the fyrst and the laste. That thou seist write in a boke and sende it vnto the congregacions which are in Asia vnto Ephesus and vnto Smyrna and vnto Pargamos and vnto Thiatira and vnto Sardis and vnto Philadelphia and vnto Laodicia.

¹ Unto the messenger of the congregacion of Ephesus wryte: These thynges sayth he that holdeth the vii. starres in his right honde and walketh in the myddes of the vii. golden candlestyckes

³⁷ And when they had founde him they sayde vnto him: all men seke for the. ³⁸ And he sayd vnto them: let vs go into the next tounes that I maye preache there also: for truly I cam out for that purpose.

¹³ Then Paul answered and sayde: what do ye wepynge and breakinge myne hert? I am redy not to be bound only but also to dye at Ierusalem for ye name of ye Lorde Iesu. ¹⁴ When we coulde not turne his mynde we ceased sayinge: the will of ye Lorde be fulfilled.

¹² To speake of brother Apollo: I greatly desyred him to come vnto you with ye brethren but his mynde was not at all to come at this tyme. How be it he will come when he shall have conveniet tyme.

²⁹ that is to saye that ye abstayne from thinges offered to ymages from bloud from strangled and fornicacion. From which yf ye kepe youre selves ye shall do well. So fare ye well.

²¹ After these thinges were ended Paul purposed in the sprete to passe over Macedonia and Achaia and to goo to Ierusalem saying: After I have bene there I must also se Rome.

¹¹ Finallye brethren fare ye well be perfect be of good comforte be of one mynde lyve in peace and the God of love and peace shalbe with you.

And it chaunsed yt a whole yere they had their conversacion with the congregacio there and taught moche people: in so moche that the disciples of Antioche were the fyrst that were called Christen. ²⁷ In those dayes came Prophetes fro Ierusalem vnto Antioche.

And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth: ⁶ and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God. ⁷ Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham. ⁹ Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre. ¹⁰ And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then? ¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse. ¹² Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do? ¹³ And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you. ¹⁴ The soudyoures lyke wyse demaunded of hym sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde to them: Do violence to noo ma: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: but be content with youre wages. ¹⁵ As the people were in a doute and all men disputed in their hertes of Iohn whether he were very Christ: ¹⁶ Ihon answered and sayde to them all: I baptyse you wt water but a stronger then I cometh after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to vnlouse: he will baptise you with the holy goost and with fyre: ¹⁷ which hath his fanne in his hond and will pourge his floore and will gader the corne into his barne: but the chaffe wyll he bourne with fyre that never shalbe quenched. ¹⁸ And many other thinges in his exhortacion preached he vnto the people. ¹⁹ Then Herode the Tetrach (when he was rebuked of him for Herodias his brother Philippes wyfe and for all the evyls which Herod had done) ²⁰ added this above all and leyd Iohn in preson. ²¹ And yt fortuned as all the people receaved baptyme (and when Iesus was baptised and dyd praye) that heave was opened ²² and the holy goost came doune in a bodely shape lyke a dove vpo him and a voyce came fro heve sayinge: Thou arte my dere sonne in the do I delyte. ²³ And Iesus him silfe was about thirty yere of age when he begane beinge as men supposed the sonne of Ioseph. which Ioseph was the sonne of Heli ²⁴ which was the sonne of Mathat which was the sonne of Levi: which was the sonne of Melchi: which was the sonne of Ianna: which was the sonne of Ioseph: ²⁵ which was the sonne of Matatthias: which was the sonne of Amos: which was the sonne of Nahum: which was the sonne of Esli: which was the sonne of Nagge: ²⁶ which was the sonne of Maath: which was the sonne of Matathias: which was the sonne of Semei: which was the sonne of Ioseph: which was the sonne of Iuda: ²⁷ which was the sonne of Iohanna: which was the sonne of Rhesya: which was the sonne of zorobabel: which was the sonne of Salathiel: which was the sonne of Neri: ²⁸ which was the sonne of Melchi: which was the sonne of Addi: which was the sonne of Cosam: which was the sonne of Helmadam: which was the sonne of Her: ²⁹ which was the sonne of Ieso: which was the sonne of Helieser: which was the sonne of Ioram: which was the sonne of Mattha: which was the sonne of Levi: ³⁰ which was the sonne of Simeon: which was the sonne of Iuda: which was the sonne of Ioseph: which was the sonne of Ionam: which was the sonne of Heliachim: ³¹ which was the sonne of Melea: which was the sonne of Menam: which was the sonne of Mathathan: which was the sonne of Nathan: which was the sonne of David: ³² which was the sonne of Iesse: which was the sonne of Obed: which was the sonne of Boos: which was the sonne of Salmon: which was the sonne of Naason: ³³ which was the sonne of Aminadab: which was the sonne of Aram: which was the sonne of Esrom: which was the sonne of Phares: which was the sonne of Iuda: ³⁴ which was the sonne of Iacob: which was the sonne of Ysaac: which was the sonne of Abraham: which was the sonne of Tharra: which was the sonne of Nachor: ³⁵ which was the sonne of Saruch: which was the sonne of Ragau: which was the sonne of Phalec: which was the sonne of Heber: which was the sonne of Sala: ³⁶ which was the sonne of Cainan: which was the sonne of Arphaxat: which was the sonne of Sem: which was the sonne of Noe: which was the sonne of Lameth: ³⁷ which was the sonne of Mathusala: which was the sonne of Enoch: which was the sonne of Iareth: which was the sonne of Malalehel. which was the sonne of Cainan: ³⁸ which was the sonne of Enos: which was the sonne of Seth: which was the sonne of Adam: which was the sonne of God.

²⁹ And all the people that hearde and the publicans iustified God and were baptised with the baptim of Iohn.

¹⁹ And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou? ²⁰ And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ. ²¹ And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no. ²² Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe? ²³ He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias. ²⁴ And they which were sent were of the pharises. ²⁵ And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet? ²⁶ Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not ²⁷ he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. ²⁸ These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse. ²⁹ The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. ³⁰ This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I ³¹ and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water. ³² And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him ³³ and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost. ³⁴ And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God. ³⁵ The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God.

² and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.

¹⁰ and sayde: O full of all sutteltie and disseytfulnes the chylde of the devyll and ye enemye of all righteousnes thou ceasest not to pervert the strayght wayes of the Lorde.

¹⁷ The same folowed Paul and vs and cryed sayinge: these men are the servauntes of the most hye God which shewe vnto vs the waye of salvacion.

³ And he sayd vnto them: wher wt were ye then baptised? And they sayd: with Iohns baptim

⁹ When dyvers wexed harde herted and beleved not but spake evyll of the waye and that before the multitude: he departed from them and seperated the disciples. And disputed dayly in ye scole of one called Tyranus.

²³ The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye.

¹¹ Let not yt busynes which ye have in honde be tedious to you. Be fervet in ye sprete. Applye youre selves to ye tyme.

²⁸ whom we preach warnynge all men and teachinge all men in all wisdome to make all men parfect in Christ Iesu. ²⁹ Wherin I also laboure and stryve even as farforth as hys workynge worketh in me myghtely.

⁴ No man that warreth entanglith him silfe with worldely busynes and that be cause he wolde please him that hath chosen him to be a soudier.

³ and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven. ⁴ Whosoever therfore humble him sylfe as this chylde the same is the greatest in ye kyngdome of heve.

²⁶ I saye vnto you that vnto all the that have it shalbe geve: and from him yt hath not eve that he hath shalbe taken from him.

²⁷ And he began at Moses and at all the prophetes and interpreted vnto them in all scriptures which were wrytten of him.

³¹ And he sayd: how can I except I had a gyde? And he desyred Philip that he wold come vp and sit wt him.

² and founde a certayne Iewe named Aquila borne in Ponthus latly come from Italie wt his wyfe Priscilla (because that the Emperour Claudius had comaunded all Iewes to departe fro Rome) and he drewe vnto them. ³ And because he was of the same crafte he abode with them and wrought: their crafte was to make tentes.

²⁵ The same was informed in the waye of the Lorde and he spake fervently in the sprete and taught diligently the thinges of the Lorde and knewe but the baptim of Iohn only.

¹⁸ Let no man deceave him silfe. Yf eny man seme wyse amonge you let him be a fole in this worlde that he maye be wyse.

² If eny man thinke that he knoweth eny thinge he knoweth nothynge yet as he ought to knowe.

²¹ And the eye can not saye vnto the honde I have no nede of the: nor ye heed also to the fete. I have no nede of you.

²⁷ But Bernabas toke hym and brought hym to ye apostles and declared to the how he had sene ye Lorde in ye waye and had spoke wyth hym: and how he had done boldely at damasco in the name of Iesu.

³ For fyrst of all I delivered vnto you that which I receaved: how that Christ dyed for oure synnes agreinge to the scriptures: ⁴ and that he was buried and that he arose agayne the thyrd daye accordinge to the scriptures:

¹ This Melchisedech kynge of Salem (which beinge prest of ye most hye god met Abraham as he returned agayne from the slaughter of the kynges and blessed him: ² to whom also Abraham gave tythes of all thynges) fyrst is by interpretacion kynge of rightewesnes: after yt he is kynge of Sale yt is to saye kynge of peace ³ with out father wt out mother with out kynne and hath nether begynnynge of his tyme nether yet ende of his lyfe: but is lykened vnto the sonne of god and cotinueth a preste for ever. ⁴ Consyder what a man this was vnto who the patriarke Abraham gave tythes of the spoyles. ⁵ And verely those children of levy which receave the office of the prestes have a commaundement to take a cordyng to the lawe tythes of the people that is to saye of their brethren yee though they spronge out of the loynes of Abraham. ⁶ But he whose kynred is not counted amonge them receaved tythes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promyses. ⁷ And no man denyeth but that which is lesse receaveth blessinge of yt which is greater. ⁸ And here men that dye receave tythes. But there he receaveth tythes of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. ⁹ And to saye the trueth Levy him silfe also which receaveth tythes payed tythes in Abraham. ¹⁰ For he was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham when Melchisech met him.
