¹⁹ Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued to god

⁸ But God setteth out his love that he hath to vs seinge that whyll we were yet synners Christ dyed for vs. ⁹ Moche more then now (seynge we are iustifyed in his bloud) shall we be saved from wrath thorow him. ¹⁰ For yf when we were enemyes we were reconciled to God by the deeth of his sonne: moche more seinge we are reconciled we shal be preservid by his lyfe.

³² which spared not his awne sonne but gave him for vs all: how shall he not wt him geve vs all thinges also?

⁸ God is able to make you ryche in all grace that ye in all thynges havynge sufficiet vnto the vttmoste maye be ryche vnto all manner good workes ⁹ as it is written: He yt sparsed abroade and hath geven to the povre his rightewesnes remayneth for ever. ¹⁰ He yt fyndeth the sower seed shall minister breed for fode and shall multiplie youre seed and increace the frutes of youre rightewesnes ¹¹ that on all parties ye maye be made ryche in all synglenes which causeth thorowe vs thankes gevynge vnto god. ¹² For the office of this ministracion not only supplieth the nede of the sayntes: but also is aboundaunt herein that for this laudable ministrynge thankes myght be geven to god ¹³ of many whiche prayse god for the obedience of youre professynge ye gospell of Christ and for youre synglenes in distributynge to them and to all me: ¹⁴ and in their prayers to God for you longe after you for the aboundauut grace of God geven vnto you. ¹⁵ Thankes be vnto God for his vn speakeable gyft.

²² But ye scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne yt the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shuld be geve vnto them yt beleve.

¹ And hath quickened you also that were deed in treaspasse and synne ² in ye which in tyme passed ye walked acordynge to the course of this worlde and after the governer that ruleth in the ayer the sprete yt now worketh in the children of vnbelefe ³ amonge which we also had oure conversacion in tyme past in the lustes of oure flesshe and fullfilled the will of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were naturally the children of wrath even as wel as other. ⁴ But God which is rich in mercy thorow his greate love wherwith he loved vs ⁵ even when we were deed by synne hath quickened vs together in Christ (for by grace are ye saved)

³ For we oure selves also were in tymes past vnwyse disobedient deceaved in daunger to lustes and to diuers maners of volupteousnes livynge in maliciousnes and envie full of hate hatinge one another. ⁴ But after that the kyndnes and love of oure saveoure God to mawarde appered ⁵ not of ye dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought but of his mercie he saved vs by ye foutayne of the newe birth and with the renuynge of the holy goost ⁶ which he shed on vs aboundantly thorow Iesus Christ oure saveoure ⁷ that we once iustified by his grace shuld be heyres of eternall lyfe thorowe hope

¹⁷ Every good gyfte and every parfayt gyft is from above and commeth doune fro the father of light with whom is no variablenes nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes.

¹ Beholde what love the father hath shewed on vs that we shuld be called the sonnes of god. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not because it knoweth not him.

¹⁰ Herin is love not that we loved god but that he loved vs and sent his sonne to make agrement for oure sinnes.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not avenge thy selfe nor bere hate in thy mynde against the childern of thi people, but shalt loue thy neghboure eue as thy self I am the Lorde.

³⁹ And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe. ⁴⁰ In these two commaundemetes hange all the lawe and the Prophetes.

²⁹ Iesus answered him: the fyrste of all the comaundementes is. Heare Israel: The Lorde God is one Lorde. ³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lorde thy God with all thy hert and with all thy soule and with all thy mynde and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundement. ³¹ And the seconde is lyke vnto this: Thou shalt love thy neghbour as thy silfe. Ther is none other commaundement greater then these. ³² And the Scribe sayde vnto him: well master thou hast sayd ye truthe that ther ys one God and that ther is none but he. ³³ And to love him with all the herte and with all the mynde and with all the soule and with all the stregth: and to love a mans neghbour as him silfe ys a greater thinge then all burntofferings and sacrifices. ³⁴ And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly he sayde vnto him: Thou arte not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that durst axe him eny questio.

³¹ And as ye wolde that men shuld doo to you: so do ye to them lyke wyse.

⁸ Owe nothinge to eny man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another fulfylleth the lawe. ⁹ For these commaundementes: Thou shalt not comit advoutry: Thou shalt not kyll: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Thou shalt not desyre and so forth (yf there be eny other comaundement) they are all comprehended in this sayinge: Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe. ¹⁰ Love hurteth not his neghbour. Therfore is love the fulfillynge of the lawe.

¹³ Brethre ye were called in to (libertie) only let not youre libertie be an occasion vnto the flesshe but in love serve one another. ¹⁴ For all ye lawe is fulfilled in one worde which is this: thou shalt love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.

⁵ for ye ende of the comaundemet is love that cometh of a pure herte and of a good conscience and of fayth vnfayned:

¹⁰ Whosoever shall kepe the whole lawe and yet fayle in one poynt he is gyltie in all. ¹¹ For he that sayd. Thou shallt not commit adulterie sayed also: thou shallt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterie yet yf thou kill thou arte a transgresser of the lawe. ¹² So speake ye and so do as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of libertie. ¹³ For ther shalbe iudgement merciles to him that sheweth no mercy and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement:

¹² And God loked vpon the erth ad loo it was corrupte: for all flesh had corrupte his way vppon the erth.

² saynge; Repet the kyngdome of heue is at honde.

⁸ Brynge forth therfore the frutes belongynge to repentauce.

² Iesus called a chylde vnto him and set him in the middes of them: ³ and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven.

¹³ Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites for ye shutte vp the kyngdome of heve before men: ye youre selves goo not in nether suffre ye them that come to enter in.

⁴¹ Then shall the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on the lyfte hande: departe from me ye coursed into everlastinge fire which is prepared for the devyll and his angels.

⁴⁶ And these shall go into everlastinge payne: And the righteous into lyfe eternall.

³³ And it chaunsed as they departed fro him Peter sayde vnto Iesus: Master it is good beinge here for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the and one for Moses and one for Helyas: and wist not what he sayde.

²⁴ stryve with youre selves to enter in at ye strayte gate: For many I saye vnto you will seke to enter in and shall not be able. ²⁵ When the good man of ye housse is rysen vp and hath shett to the dore ye shall beginne to stonde with out and to knocke at the dore sayinge: Lorde lorde open vnto vs: and he shall answer and saye vnto you: I knowe you not whence ye are.

³³ So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple.

⁹ I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture.

⁶ Iesus sayd vnto him: I am ye waye ye truthe and ye life. And no man cometh vnto the father but by me.

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost. ³⁹ For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call. ⁴⁰ And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion.

¹⁹ Repent ye therfore and turne yt youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshinge commeth which we shall have of the presence of the Lorde

⁹ What saye we then? Are we better then they? No in no wyse. For we have all ready proved how that both Iewes and Gentils are all vnder synne ¹⁰ as it is writte: There is none righteous no not one: ¹¹ There is none that vnderstondith there is none yt seketh after God ¹² they are all gone out of ye waye they are all made vnprofytable ther is none that doeth good no not one. ¹³ Their throte is an open sepulchre with their tounges they have disceaved: the poyson of Aspes is vnder their lippes. ¹⁴ Whose mouthes are full of coursynge and bitternes. ¹⁵ Their fete are swyfte to sheed bloud. ¹⁶ Destruccion and wretchednes are in their wayes. ¹⁷ And the waye of peace they have not knowen. ¹⁸ There is no feare of God before their eyes. ¹⁹ Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued to god

²² Even so God willynge to shewe his wrath and to make his power knowen suffered with longe pacience the vessels of wrath ordeyned to damnacion

⁴ in whom ye god of this worlde hath blynded the myndes of them which beleve not lest the light of ye glorious gospell of Christ which is the ymage of god shuld shyne vnto them.

¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amoge the and separate youreselues (sayth the lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receave you

²⁴ They ye are Christis have crucified the flesshe with the appetites and lustes

² in ye which in tyme passed ye walked acordynge to the course of this worlde and after the governer that ruleth in the ayer the sprete yt now worketh in the children of vnbelefe ³ amonge which we also had oure conversacion in tyme past in the lustes of oure flesshe and fullfilled the will of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were naturally the children of wrath even as wel as other.

¹⁹ whose ende is dampnacio whose God is their bely and whose glory is to their shame which are worldely mynded.

⁸ in flammynge fyre rendrynge vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God and to them that obeye not vnto the gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ ⁹ which shalbe punysshed with everlastynge damnacion from the presence of the lorde and from the glory of his power

¹⁷ For the tyme is come that iudgement must begynne at the housse of god. If it fyrst begynne at vs what shall the ende be of them which beleve not the gospell of god? ¹⁸ And yf the righteous scasly be saved: where shall the vngodly and the sinner appere?

¹⁹ We knowe that we are of god and that the worlde is altogedder set on wickednes.

⁹ and prevaylled not: nether was their place founde eny more in heven.

⁸ and all that dwell apon the erth worshipt him: whose names are not written in the boke of lyfe of the lambe which was kylled from the begynnynge of the worlde.

³ and cast him into the bottomlesse pit and he bounde him and set a seale on him yt he shuld desceaue the people no moare tyll the .M. yeares were fulfilled. And after yt he muste be loosed for a litell season.

¹⁵ And whosoever was not founde written in the boke of lyfe was cast into the lake of fyre.

²⁴ Iesus then sayde to his disciples. If eny man wyll folowe me leet him forsake him sylfe and take vp his crosse and folowe me. ²⁵ For who soever wyll save his lyfe shall loose it. And whosoever shall loose his lyfe for my sake shall fynde it.

¹⁶ Soo the laste shalbe fyrste and the fyrste shalbe laste. For many are called and feawe be chosen.

¹⁴ For many are called and feawe be chosen.

¹ Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto .x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome: ² fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse. ³ The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the. ⁴ But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also. ⁵ Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte. ⁶ And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him. ⁷ Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes. ⁸ And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out? ⁹ but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves. ¹⁰ And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp: ¹¹ Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs. ¹² But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.

³⁴ And he called the people vnto him with his disciples also and sayd vnto them: Whosoever will folowe me let him forsake him sylfe and take vp his crosse and folowe me.

³² Feare not litell floocke for it is youre fathers pleasure to geve you a kingdome.

²³ Then sayde one vnto him: Lorde are ther feawe that shalbe saved? And he sayde vnto them: ²⁴ stryve with youre selves to enter in at ye strayte gate: For many I saye vnto you will seke to enter in and shall not be able. ²⁵ When the good man of ye housse is rysen vp and hath shett to the dore ye shall beginne to stonde with out and to knocke at the dore sayinge: Lorde lorde open vnto vs: and he shall answer and saye vnto you: I knowe you not whence ye are. ²⁶ Then shall ye begin to saye. We have eaten in thy presence and dronke and thou hast taught in oure stretes. ²⁷ And he shall saye: I tell you I knowe you not whence ye are: departe from me all ye workers of iniquite. ²⁸ There shalbe wepinge and gnasshinge of teth when ye shall se Abraham and Isaac and Iacob and all the prophetes in the kyngdom of God and youre selves thrust oute at dores. ²⁹ And they shall come from the eest and from the weest and from the northe and from the southe and shall syt doune in the kyngdome of God. ³⁰ And beholde ther are last which shalbe fyrst: And ther are fyrst which shalbe last.

¹⁸ Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you. ¹⁹ Yf ye were of the worlde ye worlde wolde love his awne. How be it because ye are not of ye worlde but I have chosen you out of the worlde therfore hateth you the worlde. ²⁰ Remember the sayinge that I sayde vnto you: the servaute is not greater then his lorde. Yf they have persecuted me so will they persecute you Yf they have kept my sayinge so will they kepe youres.

² They shall excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service.

³³ 33These wordes have I spoke vnto you yt in me ye might have peace. For in ye worlde shall ye have tribulacio: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde.

²² and strengthed the disciples soules exhortinge them to continue in the faith affyrminge yt we must thorowe moche tribulacion entre into the kyngdome of God.

²⁷ But Esaias cryeth concernynge Israel though the nomber of the chyldren of Israel be as the sonde of the see yet shall a remnaut be saved. ²⁸ He finyssheth the worde verely and maketh it short in ryghtwesses. For a short worde will god make on erth. ²⁹ And as Esaias sayd before: Except the Lorde of sabaoth had left us seede we had bene made as Zodoma and had bene lykened to Gomorra.

³² And wherfore? Because they sought it not by fath: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they have stombled at the stomblynge stone.

⁵ Even so at this tyme ys ther a remnanaunt lefte thorow the eleccion of grace. ⁶ Yf it be of grace the is it not of workes. For then were grace no moare grace. Yf it be of workes then is it no moare grace. For then were deservyng no lenger deservynge.

² And fassion not youre selves lyke vnto this worlde: But be ye chaunged in youre shape by the renuynge of youre wittes that ye maye fele what thynge that good yt acceptable and perfaycte will of god is.

² and sent Timotheus oure brother and minister of god and oure laboure felowe in the gospell of Christ to stablysshe you and to coforte you over youre fayth ³ yt no ma shulde be moved in these affliccios. For ye youre selves knowe that we are even apoynted therevnto. ⁴ For verely when I was with you I tolde you before that we shulde suffre tribulacion even as it came to passe and as ye knowe. ⁵ For this cause when I coulde no lenger forbeare I sent that I myght have knowledge of youre fayth lest haply the tempter had tempted you and that oure laboure had bene bestowed in vayne.

²⁰ which were in tyme passed disobedient when the longe sufferinge of God abode excedinge paciently in the dayes of Noe whyll the arcke was a preparinge wherin feawe (that is to saye.viii soules) were saved by water ²¹ which signifieth baptim that now saveth vs not ye puttinge awaye of ye filth of the flesshe but in that a good conscience consenteth to God by ye resurreccio of Iesus Christ

¹ Yf there a ryse amonge you a prophett or a dreamer of dreames and geue the a sygne or a wondre, ² and that sygne or wonder which he hath sayed come to passe, and then saye: lat vs goo after straunge Goddes which thou hast not knowen, and let vs serue them: ³ herken not vnto the wordes of that prophete or dreamer of dreames. For the Lorde thy God tepteth you, to wete whether ye loue the Lord youre God with all youre hertes ad with al youre soules.

¹⁷ And ye shall be brought to the heed rulers and kynges for my sake in witnes to them and to the gentyls.

⁶ Then Iesus sayd vnto them: Take hede and beware of the leve of ye Pharises and of ye Saduces.

¹¹ Why perceave ye not then yt I spake not vnto you of breed whe I sayde beware of the leven of the Pharises and of the Saduces?

⁴ And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: take hede that no ma deceave you. ⁵ For many shall come in my name sayinge: I am Christ and shall deceave many.

¹¹ And many falce Prophetes shall aryse and shall deceave many.

²⁴ For there shall arise false christes and false prophete and shall do great myracles and wondres. In so moche yt if it were possible ye verie electe shuld be deceaved. ²⁵ Take hede I have tolde you before.

³⁸ And he sayde vnto them in his doctrine: beware of the Scribes which love to goo in longe clothinge: and love salutacions in ye market places ³⁹ and the chefe seates in the synagoges and to syt in the vppermost roumes at feastes ⁴⁰ and devoure widowes houses and that vnder coloure of longe prayinge. These shall receave greater dampnacion.

²² For falce Christes shall aryse and falce Prophetes and shall shewe myracles and wondres to deceave yf it were possible evyn the electe. ²³ But take ye hede: beholde I have shewed you all thinges before.

²⁶ Wo be to you when all men prayse you: for so dyd their fathers to the false prophetes.

¹⁵ Wherfore he sayde vnto them: take hede and beware of covetousnes. For no mannes lyfe stondeth in the aboundaunce of the thinges which he possesseth.

¹² An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.

⁶ When they had gone thorowout ye yle vnto ye cite of Paphos they foude a certayne sorserer a falce prophet which was a Iewe named Bariesu

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

²⁹ For I am sure of this that after my departynge shall greveous wolves entre in amonge you which will not spare the flocke. ³⁰ Moreover of youre awne selves shall men aryse speakinge perverse thinges to drawe disciples after the. ³¹ Therfore awake and remember that by the space of .iii. yeares I ceased not to warne every one of you both nyght and daye with teares.

¹⁷ I beseche you brethre marke them which cause division and geve occasions of evyll contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoyde them. ¹⁸ For they yt are suche serve not ye Lorde Iesus Christ: but their awne bellyes and with swete preachinges and flatteringe wordes deceave the hertes of the innocetes.

¹³ For these falce apostles are disceatefull workers and fassion them selves lyke vnto ye apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvayle for satan him silfe is chaunged into the fassion of an angell of light. ¹⁵ Therfore it is no great thynge though his ministers fassion them selves as though they were the ministers of rightewesnes: whose ende shalbe acordynge to their dedes.

⁴ and that because of incomers beynge falce brethren which came in amoge other to spye out oure libertie which we have in Christ Iesus that they might bringe vs into bondage.

¹⁴ That we hence forth be no moare chyldren wauerynge and caryed with every wynde of doctryne by the wylynes of men and craftynes wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceave vs.

⁶ Let no ma deceave you with vayne wordes. For thorow soche thinges cometh the wrath of God vpon the chyldre of vnbelefe.

⁸ Beware lest eny ma come and spoyle you thorow philosophy and disceatfull vanitie thorow the tradicions of me and ordinaunces after the worlde and not after christ.

¹ The sprete speaketh evydently that in the latter tymes some shall departe from the fayth and shall geve hede vnto spretes of erroure and dyvelysshe doctrine of them

¹ Rebuke not an elder: but exhorte him as a father and the yonger me as brethren ² which speake falce thorow ypocrisye and have their consciences marked with an hote yron

² the elder wemen as mothers ye yonger as sisters with all purenes. ³ forbyddinge to mary and commaundinge to abstayne from meates which God hath created to be receaved with gevynge thankes of them which beleve and knowe ye trueth.

⁵ havynge a similitude of godly lyvynge but have denyed the power ther of and soche abhorre. ⁶ Of this sorte are they which entre in to houses and brynge into bondage wymmen laden with synne which wemen are ledde of divers lustes ⁷ ever learnynge and never able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth. ⁸ As Iannes and Iambres withstode Moses even so do these resist the trueth men they are of corrupt myndes and leawde as concernynge the fayth: ⁹ but they shall prevayle no leger. For their madnes shalbe vttered vnto all men as theirs was.

¹³ But the evyll men and disceavers shall wexe worsse and worsse whill they deceave and are deceaved them selves.

³ For the tyme will come when they wyll not suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their awne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett the an heepe of teachers

¹ Ther were falce prophetes amonge the people even as ther shalbe falce teachers amonge you: wich prevely shall brynge in damnable sectes even denyinge the Lorde that hath bought them and brynge vpon them selves swyft damnacion ² and many shall folowe their damnable wayes by which the waye of trueth shalbe evyll spoken of ³ and thorow coveteousnes shall they with fayned wordes make marchandyse of you whose iudgement is not farre of and their dampnacion slepeth not.

¹⁸ For when they have spoke the swellinge wordes of vanytie they begyle wt wantanes thorowe yt lustes of the flesshe them that were clene escaped: but now are wrapped in errours. ¹⁹ They promys them libertye and are them selves ye bonde servauntes of corrupcion. For of whom soever a man is over come vnto ye same is he in bondage.

¹⁷ Ye therfore beloved seynge ye knowe it before hande beware lest ye be also plucked a waye with the erroure of the wicked and fall from youre awne stedfastnes:

¹ Ye beloved beleve not every sprete: but prove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

⁴ For ther are certayne craftely crept in of which it was write afore tyme vnto soche iudgemet. They are vngodly and turne the grace of oure God vnto wantannes and denye God the only Lorde and oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

¹¹ And I behelde another best commynge vp oute of the erth and he had two hornes like a lambe and he spake as dyd the dragon. ¹² And he dyd all that the fyrste beest coulde do in his presence and he caused the erth and them which dwell therin to worshippe the fyrst beest whose dedly woude was healed. ¹³ And he dyd grett wonders so that he made fyre come doune from heven in the syght of men. ¹⁴ And deceaved them that dwelt on the erth by the meanes of those signes which he had power to doo in the sight of the beest sayinge to the that dwelt on the erth: that they shuld make an ymage vnto the beest which had the woude of a swearde and dyd lyve. ¹⁵ And he had power to geve a sprete vnto the ymage of the beest and that the ymage of the beest shuld speake and shuld cause that as many as wolde not worshyppe the ymage of the beest shuld be kylled. ¹⁶ And he made all bothe smale and grett ryche and poore fre and bond to receave a marke in their right hondes or in their forheddes. ¹⁷ And that no ma myght by or sell save he that had the marke or the name of the beest other the nombre of his name.

¹³ And I sawe thre vnclene sprettes lyke frogges come out of the mouthe of the dragon and out of the mouthe of the beeste and out of the mouthe of the falce prophett.

⁶ And I sawe the wyfe dronke with the bloud of saynctes and with the bloud of the witnesses of Iesu. And when I sawe her I wondred with grett mervayle.

²⁰ And the beste was take and with him that falce prophett that wrought myracles before him with which he desceaved the that receaved ye beestes marke and them that worshipped his ymage. These both were cast into a pode of fyre burnyge with brymstone:

²⁰ Not all they that saye vnto me Master Master shall enter in to the kyngdome of heven: but he that dothe my fathers will which ys in heven.

³³ Ether make ye tree good and his frute good also: or els make ye tree evyll and his frute evyll also. For ye tree is knowe by his frute.

⁴³ It is not a good tree that bringeth forthe evyll frute: nether is that an evyll tree that bringeth forthe good frute ⁴⁴ For every tree is knowen by his frute. Nether of thornes gader men fygges nor of busshes gader they grapes. ⁴⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which is good. And an evyll man out of the evyll treasure of his hert bringeth forthe that which ys evyll. For of the aboundaunce of ye her his mouthe speakethe.

¹² Can the fygge tree my Brethren beare olive beries: other a vyne beare fygges?

¹⁰ namely them that walke after the flesshe in the lust of vnclennes and despyse the rulars. Presumpteous are they and stubborne and feare not to speake evyll of them that are in auctorite. ¹¹ When ye angels which are greater bothe in power and myght receave not of ye lorde raylynge iudgement agaynst them. ¹² But these as brute beastes naturally made to betaken and destroyed speake evyll of that they knowe not and shall perisshe through their awne destruccion ¹³ and receave the rewarde of vnrightewesnes.They count it pleasure to live deliciously for a season. Spottes they are and filthines livinge at pleasure and in disceaveable wayes feastynge with you: ¹⁴ havinge eyes full of advoutrie and that canot cease to synne begylynge vnstable soules. Hertes they have exercised wt coveteousnes. They are cursed chyldren ¹⁵ and have forsaken the right waye and are gone astraye folowinge ye waye of Balam the sonne of Bosor which loved the rewarde of vnrightewesnes: ¹⁶ but was rebuked of his iniquitie. The tame and dome beast speakinge with manes voyce forbade the folisshnes of the Prophete. ¹⁷ These are welles without water and cloudes caried about of a tepest to whome the myst of darcknes is reserved for ever. ¹⁸ For when they have spoke the swellinge wordes of vanytie they begyle wt wantanes thorowe yt lustes of the flesshe them that were clene escaped: but now are wrapped in errours.

¹⁰ But these speake evyll of those thinges which they knowe not: and what thinges they knowe naturally as beastes which are without reason in tho thinges they corrupte them selves. ¹¹ Wo be vnto them for they have folowed ye waye of Cayn and are vtterly geven to the erroure of Balam for lukers sake and perysshe in the treason of Core. ¹² These are spottes which of youre kindnes feast to gedder with out feare fedynge them selves. Cloudes they are with outen water caried about of wyndes and trees with out frute at gadringe tyme twyse deed and plucked vp by the rotes. ¹³ They are the ragynge waves of ye see fominge out their awne shame. They are wandrynge starres to whom is reserved the myst of darcknes for ever. ¹⁴ Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied before of suche saying: Beholde ye lorde shall come with thousandes of sayntes ¹⁵ to geve iudgement agaynst all men and to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge them of all their vngodly dedes which they have vngodly comitted and of all their cruell speakynges which vngodly sinners have spoken agaynst him. ¹⁶ These are murmurers complayners walkynge after their awne lustes whose mouthes speake proude thynges. They have men in greate reverence be cause of a vauntage. ¹⁷ But ye beloved remember the wordes which were spoken before of the Apostles of oure lorde Iesus Christ ¹⁸ how that they tolde you that ther shulde be begylers in the last tyme which shuld walke after ther awne vngodly lustes. ¹⁹ These are makers of sectes fleshlie havynge no sprete.

³³ Ether make ye tree good and his frute good also: or els make ye tree evyll and his frute evyll also. For ye tree is knowe by his frute. ³⁴ O generacio of viperes how can ye saye well whe ye youre selves are evyll? For of ye aboundace of the hert ye mouthe speaketh. ³⁵ A good ma oute of ye good treasure of his hert bringeth forth good thynges. And an evyll man out of his evyll treasure bringeth forth evyll thinges.

⁶ He put forthe this similiiude A certayne man had a fygge tree planted in his veneyarde and he came and sought frute theron and founde none. ⁷ Then sayde he to ye dresser of his vyneyarde: Beholde this thre yeare have I come and sought frute in this fygge tree and fynde none: cut it doune: why combreth it the grounde? ⁸ And he answered and sayde vnto him: lorde let it alone this yeare also till I digge rounde aboute it and doge it to se ⁹ whether it will beare frute: and if it beare not then after yt cut it doune

²² But ye frute of sprete is loue ioye peace longesufferinge getlenes goodnes faythfulnes ²³ meknes temperancye. Agaynst suche ther is no lawe. ²⁴ They ye are Christis have crucified the flesshe with the appetites and lustes

⁹ For the frute of the sprete is in all goodnes rightewesnes and trueth.

¹¹ filled with the frutes of rightewesnes which frutes come by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and laude of God.

¹⁰ that ye myght walke worthy of the lorde in all thynges that please beynge frutfull in all good workes and encreasynge in ye knowledge of God

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is fyrst pure then peasable gentle and easy to be entreated full of mercy and good frutes without iudgynge and without simulacio: ¹⁸ yee and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace of them that mayntene peace.

¹² These are spottes which of youre kindnes feast to gedder with out feare fedynge them selves. Cloudes they are with outen water caried about of wyndes and trees with out frute at gadringe tyme twyse deed and plucked vp by the rotes.

¹⁷ For ye flesshe lusteth contrary to ye sprete and ye sprete cotrary to ye flesshe. Tese are cotrary one to the other so yt ye canot do that which ye wolde.

⁹ Whosoever is borne of god sinneth not: for his seed remayneth in him and he cannot sinne because he is borne of god. ¹⁰ In this are the children of god knowen and the children of the devyll. Whosoever doeth not rightewesnes is not of God nether he that loveth not his brother.

¹⁰ Euenowe is ye axe put vnto ye rote of ye trees: soo that every tree which bringeth not forthe goode frute is hewe doune and cast into ye fyre.

¹⁹ and spyed a fygge trre in the waye and came to it and founde nothinge theron but leves only and sayd to it never frute growe on the hence forwardes. And ano the fygge tree wyddered awaye. ²⁰ And when his disciples sawe that they marveled sayinge: Howe sone is the fygge tree wyddered awaye?

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.

² Every braunche that beareth not frute in me he will take awaye. And every braunche that beareth frute will he pourge yt it maye bringe moare frute. ³ Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you. ⁴ Byde in me and let me byde in you. As ye braunche canot beare frute of it sylfe excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye excepte ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne and ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me and I in him the same bringeth forth moche frute. For with out me can ye do nothinge. ⁶ Yf a man byde not in me he ys cast forthe as a braunche and is wyddered: and men gadder it and cast it into the fyre and it burneth.

⁸ But that grounde which beareth thornes and bryars is reproved and is nye vnto cursynge: whose ende is to be burned.

¹⁶ Euen soo every good tree bryngeth forthe good frute. But a corrupte tree bryngethe forthe evyll frute.

³⁸ And now I saye vnto you: refrayne youre selves from these men let them alone. For yf ye cousell or this worke be of men it will come to nought.

³³ But whoso ever shall denye me before men hym will I also denye before my father which is in heven.

⁵⁰ For whosoever dothe my fathers will which is in heve the same is my brother suster and mother.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered and sayde to him: happy arte thou Simon the sonne of Ionas for fleshe and bloud hath not opened vnto the yt but my father which is in heve.

³ and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven.

¹⁰ Se that ye despise not one of these litelons. For I saye vnto you yt in heven their angels alwayes behold the face of my father which is in heven.

³⁵ So lyke wyse shall my hevenly father do vnto you except ye forgeve with youre hertes eache one to his brother their treaspases.

²⁴ And moreover I saye vnto you: it is easier for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.

²⁹ He answered and sayde I will not: but afterwarde repented and went. ³⁰ Then came he to the second and sayde lyke wyse. And he answered and sayde: I will syr: yet wet not. ³¹ Whether of the twayne dyd the will of the father? And they sayde vnto hym: the fyrst. Iesus sayde vnto the: verely I saye vnto you that the publicans and the harlotes shall come into ye kyngdome of God before you.

²¹ The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye.

³⁹ And he went a lytell aparte and fell flat on his face and prayed sayinge: O my father yf it be possible let this cuppe passe from me: neverthelesse not as I wyll but as thou wylt.

⁴² He went awaye once moare and prayed sayinge: O my father yf this cuppe can not passe away from me but yt I drinke of it thy wyll be fulfylled.

³⁵ For whosoever doeth ye will of God he is my brother my syster and mother.

⁴⁷ where there worme dyeth not and the fyre never goeth oute.

²³ And Iesus loked rounde aboute and sayde vnto his disciples: what an harde thinge is it for them that have riches to entre into the kyngdome of God. ²⁴ And his disciples were astonneyd at his wordes. But Iesus answered agayne and sayde vnto them: chyldre how harde is it for them that trust in riches to entre in to the kyngdome of God.

⁴⁶ Why call ye me Master Master: and do not as I bid you?

²⁸ But he sayde: Ye happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.

²⁵ it is easyer for a camell to goo thorow a nedles eye then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.

⁵ Iesus answered: verely verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered them: my father worketh hidder to and I worke.

⁴⁰ And this is the wyll of him yt sent me: yt every man which seith ye sonne and beleveth on him have everlastinge lyfe. And I will rayse him vp at ye last daye.

¹⁷ If eny man will do his will he shall knowe of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speake of my selfe.

²⁹ My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde. ³⁰ And I and my father are one.

⁷ Yf ye had knowe me ye had knowe my father also. And now ye knowe him and have sene him.

²³ He that hateth me hateth my father.

¹³ Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ And ther were seven sonnes of one Sceva a Iewe and chefe of the prestes which dyd so. ¹⁵ And the evyll sprete answered and sayde: Iesus I knowe and Paul I knowe: but who are ye? ¹⁶ And ye man in who the evyll sprete was ranne on the and overcame the and prevayled agaynst them so that they fledde out of that housse naked and wouded. 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. ¹⁸ And many yt beleved came and confessed and shewed their workes. ¹⁹ Many of the which vsed curious craftes brought their bokes and burned the before all men and they counted the price of the and foude it fifty thousande silverlynges. ²⁰ So myghtely grewe ye worde of god and prevayled.

¹³ For before god they are not ryghteous which heare ye lawe: but the doers of the lawe shalbe iustified.

⁶ not wt service in ye eye sight as men pleasars: but as the servautes of Christ doynge ye will of God fro the herte

¹² Epaphras the servaut of Christ which is one of you saluteth you and all wayes laboreth fervently for you in prayers that ye maye stonde perfect and full in all that is the will of God.

³ For this is the will of god even that ye shuld be holy and that ye shuld abstayne from fornicacion

¹⁸ In all thinges geve thankes. For this is the wyll of God in Christ Iesu towarde you.

¹⁶ They confesse that they knowe god: but with the dedes they denye hym and are abhominable and disobedient and vnto all good workes discommendable.

⁶ Seynge therfore it foloweth that some muste enter therinto and they to who it was fyrst preached entred not therin for vnbeleves sake.

²¹ make you parfect in all good workes to do his will workynge in you yt which is pleasaut in his syght thorow Iesus christ To whom be prayse for ever whill the worlde endureth Amen.

²² And se that ye be doars of the worde and not hearers only deceavinge youre awne selves with sophistrie

²⁰ Wilt thou vnderstonde o thou vayne man that fayth with out dedes is deed? ²¹ Was not Abraha oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpo the aultre? ²² Thou seist how that fayth wrought with his dedes and through the dedes was the fayth made parfect: ²³ and ye scripture was fulfilled which sayth: Abraham beleved God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called the frede of God. ²⁴ Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified and not of fayth only. ²⁵ Lyke wyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorow workes when she receaved the messengers and sent the out another waye? ²⁶ For as the body with oute the sprete is deed eve so fayth with out dedes is deed

¹⁵ For so is the will of god that ye put to sylence the ygnorancie of the folyshe men:

² that he hence forwarde shuld lyve as moche tyme as remayneth in the flesshe: not after ye lustes of men but after the will of God.

²¹ Beloved yf oure hertes condempne vs not then have we trust to god warde: ²² and what soever we axe we shall receave of him: be cause we kepe his commaundementes and do those thinges which are pleasinge in his sight. ²³ And this is his comaundemet that we beleve on ye name of his sonne Iesus Christ and love one another as he gave comaundemet. ²⁴ And he yt kepeth his comaundemetes dwelleth in him and he in him: and therby we knowe that ther abydeth in vs of the sprete which he gave vs.

²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rodde of yron: and as the vessels of a potter shall he breake them to shevers. Eve as I receaved of my father

⁵ He that overcometh shalbe clothed in whyte araye and I will not put out his name out of the boke of lyfe and I will confesse his name before my father and before his angelles.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do hys commaundmentes that their power maye be in the tree of lyfe and maye entre in thorow the gates into the cite.

⁴ and the man whose eye is open hath sayed: he hath sayed which heareth the wordes of God and seeth the visions of the allmightie which falleth downe and his eyes are opened.

⁸ And they slewe the kynges of Madian among other that were slayne: Eui Rekem Zur Hur and Reba: fyue kynges of Madian. And they slewe Bala the sonne of Beor with the swerde.

²¹ Many will saye to me in that daye Master master have we not in thy name prophesied? And in thy name have caste oute devyls? And in thy name have done many miracles?

⁵ But go rather to ye lost shepe of the housse of Israel. ⁶ Go and preach sayinge: yt the kyngdome of heve is at hande. ⁷ Heale the sicke clense the lepers rayse the deed caste oute the devils. Frely ye have receved frely geve agayne. ⁸ Posses not golde nor silver nor brassse yn youre gerdels

¹⁵ Beholde I sende you forthe as shepe amoge wolves. Be ye therfore wyse as serpetes and innocent as doves.

³⁶ But of that daye and houre knowith no man no not ye angels of heve but my father only.

¹¹ Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.

¹² Ye and I saye vnto you: that it shalbe easier in that daye for Sodom then for yt cytie.

²⁵ When the good man of ye housse is rysen vp and hath shett to the dore ye shall beginne to stonde with out and to knocke at the dore sayinge: Lorde lorde open vnto vs: and he shall answer and saye vnto you: I knowe you not whence ye are. ²⁶ Then shall ye begin to saye. We have eaten in thy presence and dronke and thou hast taught in oure stretes. ²⁷ And he shall saye: I tell you I knowe you not whence ye are: departe from me all ye workers of iniquite.

⁵¹ This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people

¹³ Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ And ther were seven sonnes of one Sceva a Iewe and chefe of the prestes which dyd so. ¹⁵ And the evyll sprete answered and sayde: Iesus I knowe and Paul I knowe: but who are ye?

¹ Though I spake with the tonges of me and angels and yet had no love I were eve as soundinge brasse: or as a tynklynge Cymball. ² And though I coulde prophesy and vnderstode all secretes and all knowledge: yee yf I had all fayth so that I coulde move moutayns oute of ther places and yet had no love I were nothynge.

⁴ But ye brethre are not in darcknes that yt daye shuld come on you as it were a thefe.

¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his sainctes and to be made marvelous in all them that beleve: because oure testimonye that we had vnto you was beleved eve the same daye that we preached it.

¹² for the which cause I also suffre these thinges. Neverthelesse I am not a shamed For I knowe who I have beleved and am sure that he is able to kepe that which I have comitted to his kepynge agaynst that daye.

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.

⁸ From hence forth is layde vp for me a croune of rightewesnes which the lorde that is a righteous iudge shall geve me at that daye: not to me only but vnto all them that love his commynge.

⁴ For it is not possible yt they which were once lyghted and have tasted of the hevenly gyft and were become partetakers of the holy goost ⁵ and have tasted of the good worde of God and of the power of the worlde to come: ⁶ yf they faule shuld be renued agayne vnto repentaunce: for as moche as they have (as concerninge them selves) crucified the sonne of God a fresshe makynge a mocke of him.

¹² But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.

²⁷ And he shall saye: I tell you I knowe you not whence ye are: departe from me all ye workers of iniquite.

¹⁴ I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne.

²⁷ my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me ²⁸ and I geve vnto the eternall lyfe and they shall never perisshe nether shall eny man plucke the oute of my honde.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of god remayneth and hath this seale: the lorde knoweth them that are his and let every man that calleth on the name of Christ departe from iniquite.

¹⁵ For without shalbe dogges and inchauters and whormongers and mortherers and ydolaters and whosoever loveth or makith lesynges.

³ Blessed are the povre in sprete: for theirs is the kyngdome of heven. ⁴ Blessed are they that morne: for they shalbe conforted. ⁵ Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the erth. ⁶ Blessed are they which honger and thurst for rightewesnes: for they shalbe filled. ⁷ Blessed are ye mercifull: for they shall obteyne mercy. ⁸ Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God. ⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shalbe called the chyldren of God. ¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucio for rightwesnes sake: for theirs ys the kyngdome of heuen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you and persecute you and shall falsly say all manner of yvell saynges agaynst you for my sake. ¹² Reioyce and be glad for greate is youre rewarde in heven. + For so persecuted they ye Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

²⁸ But I say vnto you that whosoeuer looketh on a wyfe lustynge after her hathe comitted advoutrie with hir alredy in his hert. ²⁹ Wherfore yf thy right eye offende ye plucke hym out and caste him from the. Better it is for the yt one of thy membres perisshe then that thy hole bodye shuld be cast into hell. ³⁰ Also if thy right honde offend ye cut hym of and caste hym from the. Better yt ys that one of thy membres perisshe then that all thy body shulde be caste in to hell. ³¹ It ys sayd whosoever put awaye his wyfe let hym geve her a testymonyall also of the devorcement. ³² But I say vnto you: whosoever put awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) causeth her to breake matrymony. And whosoever maryeth her that is devorsed breaketh wedlocke.

¹⁴ But and ye wyll not forgeve men their trespases nomore shall youre father forgeve youre treaspases. ¹⁵ Moreoure when ye faste be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces that they myght be sene of me how they faste. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.

¹⁹ But gaddre ye treasure togeder in heve where nether rust nor mothes corrupte and where theves nether breake vp nor yet steale. ²⁰ For where soever youre treasure ys there will youre hertes be also. ²¹ The light of the body is thyne eye. Wher fore if thyne eye besyngle all thy body shalbe full of light.

⁷ For whosoever axeth receaveth and he yt seketh fyndeth and to hym that knocketh it shalbe opened. ⁸ Ys there eny man amoge you which if his sonne axed hym bread wolde offer him astone?

¹³ But strayte is the gate and narowe ys the waye which leadeth vnto lyfe: and feawe there be that fynde it. ¹⁴ Beware of false Prophetes which come to you in shepes clothinge but inwardly they are ravenynge wolves.

⁴⁷ whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke. ⁴⁸ He is like a man which bilt an housse: and digged depe and layde the foundacio on a rocke. Whe the waters arose the fludde bet apo that housse and coulde not move yt. For it was grounded apon a rocke. ⁴⁹ But he that heareth and doth not is lyke a man that with out foundacion bylt an housse apon the erth agaynst which the fludde did bet: and it fell by and by. And ye fall of yt housse was greate.

¹⁷ If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them.

¹⁵ If ye love me kepe my comaundementes

²² Iudas sayde vnto him (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs and not vnto the worlde? ²³ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: yf a man love me and wyll kepe my sayinges my father also will love him and we will come vnto him and will dwelle with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not kepeth not my sayinges. And the wordes which ye heare are not myne but the fathers which sent me.

¹⁰ Yf ye shall kepe my comaudemetes ye shall byde in my love eve as I have kept my fathers comaundementes and byde in his love.

¹⁴ Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you.

⁶ which will rewarde every ma accordinge to his dedes: ⁷ that is to saye prayse honoure and immortalite to them which cotinue in good doynge and seke eternall lyfe. ⁸ But vnto them that are rebellious and disobey the trueth yet folowe iniquytie shall come indignacion and wrath ⁹ tribulacion and anguysshe vpon the soule of every man that doth evyll: of the Iewe fyrst and also of the gentyll.

¹⁰ Accordynge to the grace of god geven vnto me as a wyse bylder have I layde the foundacio And another bylt thero But let every ma take hede how he bildeth apo. ¹¹ For other foundacion can no man laye then yt which is layde which is Iesus Christ.

⁶ For in Iesu Christ nether is circumcision enythinge worth nether yet vncircocision but faith which by love is mighty in operacion. ⁷ Ye did runne well: who was a let vnto you that ye shuld not obey the trueth?

⁷ 7. Be not deceaved God is not mocked. For what soever a man soweth yt shall he reepe. ⁸ He that soweth in his flesshe shall of ye flesshe reepe corrupcio. But he yt soweth in ye sprete shall of the sprete reepe lyfe everlastinge.

²¹ Wherfore laye a parte all fylthynes all superfluite of maliciousnes and receave with meknes the worde yt is grafted in you which is able to save youre soules. ²² And se that ye be doars of the worde and not hearers only deceavinge youre awne selves with sophistrie ²³ For yf eny heare the worde and do it not he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his bodyly face in a glasse. ²⁴ For assone as he hath loked on him silfe he goeth his waye and forgetteth immediatlie what his fassion was. ²⁵ But who so loketh in the parfaict lawe of libertie and continueth ther in (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer but a doar of ye worke) the same shall be happie in his dede. ²⁶ Yf eny man amonge you seme devoute and refrayne not his tonge: but deceave his awne herte this mannes devocion is in vayne ²⁷ Pure devocion and vndefiled before God the father is this: to vysit the frendlesse and widdowes in their adversite and to kepe him silfe vnspotted of the worlde.

¹⁷ Eve so fayth yf it have no dedes is deed in it selfe. ¹⁸ Ye and a man myght saye: Thou hast fayth and I have dedes: Shewe me thy fayth by thy dedes: and I will shewe the my fayth by my dedes. ¹⁹ Belevest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The devyls also beleve and tremble.

¹³ So can no fountayne geve bothe salt water and fresshe also. If eny man be wyse and endued with learnynge amonge you let him shewe the workes of his good conversacio in meknes that ys coupled with wisdome. ¹⁴ But Yf ye have bitter envyinge and stryfe in youre hertes reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth. ¹⁵ This wisdome descedeth not from a boue: but is erthy and naturall and divelisshe. ¹⁶ For where envyinge and stryfe is there is stablenes and all maner of evyll workes.

³ And herby we are sure that we knowe him yf we kepe his comaundementes.

³ This is ye love of god yt we kepe his comaundemetes and his comaundementes are not greveous ⁴ For all that is borne of god over commeth the worlde. And this is the victory that overcometh the worlde even oure fayth. ⁵ Who is it that overcommeth the worlde: but he which beleveth that Iesus is ye sonne of god?

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do hys commaundmentes that their power maye be in the tree of lyfe and maye entre in thorow the gates into the cite. ¹⁵ For without shalbe dogges and inchauters and whormongers and mortherers and ydolaters and whosoever loveth or makith lesynges.

¹⁸ And I saye also vnto the yt thou arte Peter: and apon this rocke I wyll bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shall not prevayle ageynst it.

¹³ every mannes worke shall appere. For the daye shall declare it and it shalbe shewed in fyre. And ye fyre shall trye euery mannes worke what it is. ¹⁴ Yf eny mannes worke yt he hath bylt apon byde he shall receave a rewarde. ¹⁵ If eny manes worke burne he shall suffre losse: but he shalbe safe him selfe: neverthelesse yet as it were thorow fyre.

¹⁷ yt Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth yt ye beynge roted and grounded in loue

⁷ roted and bylt in him and stedfaste in the fayth as ye have learned: and therin be plenteous in gevynge thankes.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth in temptacion for when he is tryed he shall receave the croune of lyfe which the Lorde hath promysed to them that love him.

⁵ which are kept by the power of God thorow fayth vnto salvacion which salvacion is prepared all redy to be shewed in the last tyme

⁷ that youre fayth once tried beinge moche more precious then golde yt perissheth (though it be tried with fyre) myght be founde vnto lawde glory and honoure at the apperinge of Iesus Christ:

¹⁹ They went oute from vs but they were not of vs. For yf they had bene of vs they wolde no dout have continued with vs. But that fortuned that yt myght appere that they were not of vs.

⁴⁹ But he that heareth and doth not is lyke a man that with out foundacion bylt an housse apon the erth agaynst which the fludde did bet: and it fell by and by. And ye fall of yt housse was greate.

²⁰ Wilt thou vnderstonde o thou vayne man that fayth with out dedes is deed?

⁴³ When the vnclene sprite is gone out of a man he walketh throughout dry places seking reest and fyndeth none. ⁴⁴ Then he sayeth: I will retourne ageyne into my housse fro whece I came oute. And when he is come he fyndeth the housse empty and swepte and garnisshed. ⁴⁵ Then he goeth his waye and taketh vnto him seven other spretes worsse then himsilfe and so entre they in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the beginning. Even so shall it be with this evell nacion.

¹⁹ Whosoever heareth the worde of ye kingdome and vnderstondeth it not ther cometh the evyll ma and catcheth awaye yt which was sowne in his hert. And this is he which was sowne by the wayesyde. ²⁰ But he yt was sowne in ye stony groude is he which heareth the worde of God and anone wt ioye receaveth it ²¹ yet hath he no rottes in him selfe and therfore dureth but a season: for assone as tribulacion or persecucion aryseth because of the worde by and by he falleth. ²² He yt was sowne amoge thornes is he yt heareth ye worde of God: but the care of this worlde and the dissaytfulnes of ryches choke ye worde and so is he made vnfrutfull.

¹³ every mannes worke shall appere. For the daye shall declare it and it shalbe shewed in fyre. And ye fyre shall trye euery mannes worke what it is.

²⁶ For yf we synne willyngly after that we have receaved the knowledge of the trueth there remayneth no more sacrifice for synnes ²⁷ but a fearfull lokynge for iudgement and violent fyre which shall devoure the adversaries ²⁸ He that despiseth Moses lawe dyeth with out mercy vnder two or thre witnesses. ²⁹ Of how moche sorer punyshment suppose ye shall he be counted worthy which treadeth vnderfote the sonne of god: and counteth the bloude of the testament as an vnholy thynge wherwith he was sanctified and doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace. ³⁰ For we knowe him that hath sayde vengeaunce belongeth vnto me I will recompence sayth the lorde. And agayne: the lorde shall iudge his people. ³¹ It is a fearfull thynge to faule into the hondes of the livynge God.

²⁰ For yf they after they have escaped from the filthynes of the worlde thorowe ye knowledge of ye Lorde and of ye saviour Iesus Christ they are yet tagled agayne therin and overcome: then is ye latter ende worsse with them then the beginninge. ²¹ For it had bene better for the not to have knowne ye waye of righteousnes then after they have knowe it to turne fro the holy comaundmet geve vnto them. ²² It is happened vnto them accordinge to the true proverbe: The dogge is turned to his vomet agayne and the sow that was wesshed to her wallowynge in the myre.

¹ And it came to passe when Iesus had made an ende of comaundinge his .xii. disciples that he departed thence to teache and to preache in their cities.

⁵³ And it came to passe when Iesus had finisshed these similitudes yt he departed thece ⁵⁴ and came in to his awne coutre and taught them in their synagoges in so moche yt they were astonyed and sayde: whece cometh all this wysdome and power vnto him?

¹ And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed those sayinges he gat him from Galile and came into the coostes of Iewry beyonde Iordan

³³ And when the people hearde that they were astonyed at his doctrine.

¹ And it came to passe when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayd vnto his disciples:

²² And they merveled at his learninge. For he taught them as one that had power with him and not as the Scribes.

² And whe the saboth daye was come he beganne to teache in ye synagsge. And many that hearde him were astonyed and sayde: From whens hath he these thinges? and what wysdo is this that is geve vnto him? and suche vertues yt are wrought by his hondes?

¹⁸ And the Scribes and hye prestes hearde yt and sought howe to distroye him. For they feared him because all the people marveled at his doctrine.

²² And all bare him witnes and wondred at the gracious wordes which proceded oute of his mouth and sayde: Is not this Iosephs sonne?

³² And they were astonyed at his doctrine: for his preachige was wt power.

⁴⁸ but coulde not finde what to do. For all the people stacke by him and gave him audience.

¹⁵ And the Iewes marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he ye scriptures seynge yt he never learned?

⁴⁶ The servautes answered never man spake as this man doeth.

¹⁸ I will rayse them vpp a prophett from amonge their brethern like vnto the ad will put my wordes in to his mouth and he shall speake vnto the al that I shall commaunde him. ¹⁹ And whosoeuer will not kerken vnto the wordes which he shall speake in my name, I will requyre it off him.

²⁰ For I saye vnto you except youre rightewesnes excede the righetewesnes of ye Scribes and Pharises ye canot entre into ye kyngdome of heven.

²⁸ But I say vnto you that whosoeuer looketh on a wyfe lustynge after her hathe comitted advoutrie with hir alredy in his hert.

³² But I say vnto you: whosoever put awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) causeth her to breake matrymony. And whosoever maryeth her that is devorsed breaketh wedlocke.

⁴⁴ But I saye vnto you love youre enimies. Blesse the that coursse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which doo you wronge and persecute you

¹ Then came to Iesus scribes and pharises from Ierusalem sayinge: ² why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicios of ye elders? for they wesshe not their hondes when they eate breed. ³ He answered and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse ye comaundment of God thorowe youre tradicions? ⁴ For God comaunded sayinge: honoure thy father and mother and he that cursseth father or mother shall suffer deeth. ⁵ But ye saye every ma shall saye to his father or mother: That which thou desyrest of me to helpe ye with: is geven God: ⁶ and so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made yt the comaundment of God is with out effecte through youre tradicios. ⁷ Ypocrites well prophesyed of you Esay sayinge: ⁸ This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouthes and honoureth me with their lippes howbe it their hertes are farre from me: ⁹ but in vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctrines whiche are nothing but mens precepts.

²³ And when he was come into the teple the chefe prestes and the elders of the people came vnto him as he was teachinge and sayde: by what auctorite doest thou these thinges? and who gave the this power? ²⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: I also will axe of you a certayne question which if ye assoyle me I in lyke wyse wyll tell you by what auctorite I do these thinges. ²⁵ The baptime of Iohn: whence was it? fro heve or of men? Then they reasoned amoge them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye fro heven he will saye vnto vs: why dyd ye not then beleve hym? ²⁶ But and if we shall saye of men then feare we the people. For all men helde Iohn as a Prophet. ²⁷ And they answered Iesus and sayde: we cannot tell. And he lyke wyse sayd vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.

² sayinge. The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate. ³ All therfore whatsoever they byd you observe that observe and do: but after their workes do not: ⁴ For they saye and do not. Ye and they bynde hevy burthes and grevous to be borne and ley the on menes shulders: but they themsylfes will not heave at them with one of their fyngers. ⁵ All their workes they do for to be sene of me. They set abroade their philateries and make large borders on there garmetes ⁶ and love to sit vppermooste at feastes and to have the chefe seates in the synagoges

¹⁵ Wo be vnto you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which compasse see and londe to bringe one in to youre belefe: and when he ys brought ye make him two folde more the chylde of hell then ye youre selves are. ¹⁶ Wo be vnto you blynd gides which saye whosoever sweare by the teple it is no thinge: but whosoever sweare by the golde of the temple he offendeth. ¹⁷ Ye foles and blinde? whether is greater the golde or the teple that sanctifieth ye golde. ¹⁸ And whosoever sweareth by the aulter it is nothinge: but whosoever sweareth by ye offeringe yt lyeth on ye aultre offendeth. ¹⁹ Ye foles and blinde: whether is greater ye offeringe or ye aultre which sanctifieth ye offeringe? ²⁰ Whosoever therfore sweareth by ye aultre sweareth by it and by all yt there on is. ²¹ And whosoever sweareth by the teple sweareth by it and by hym yt dwelleth therin. ²² And he that sweareth by heve swereth by the seate of God and by hym that sytteth theron. ²³ Wo be to you Scribes and Pharises ypocrites which tythe mynt annyse and comen and leave the waygthtyer mattres of ye lawe vndone: iudgemet mercy and fayth. These ought ye to have done and not to have left the othre vndone. ²⁴ Ye blinde gydes which strayne out a gnat and swalowe a cammyll.

¹⁸ And Iesus came and spake vnto them sayinge: All power ys geve vnto me in heve and in erth.

⁵ Then axed him the pharises and sribes why walke not thy disciples accordinge to ye tradicions of the elders but eate breede with vnweshen hondes? ⁶ He answered and sayde vnto them: well prophesied Esaias of you ypocrites as it is writte: This people honoreth me with their lyppes but their hert is farre from me: ⁷ In vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctryns which are nothinge but ye comaundementes of men. ⁸ For ye laye the commaundement of God aparte and observe the tradicions of men as the wesshinge of cruses and of cuppes and many other suche lyke thinges ye do. ⁹ And he sayde vnto them: well ye cast asyde the comaundement of God to mayntayne youre owne tradicios. ¹⁰ For Moses sayde: Honoure thy father and thy mother: and whosoever cursseth father or mother let him dye for it. ¹¹ But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother Corban: which is: that thou desyrest of me to helpe the with is geven God. ¹² And so ye soffre him no more to do ought for his father or his mother ¹³ makinge the worde of God of none effecte through youre awne tradicions which ye have ordeyned. And many soche thinges ye do.

⁸ And Iesus sayde vnto them: nether tell I you by what auctorite I do these thinges.

⁴⁶ beware of the Scribes which desyre to goo in longe clothinge: and love gretynges in the markets and the hyest seates in the synagoges and chefe roumes at feastes ⁴⁷ which devoure widdowes houses and that vnder a coloure of longe prayinge: the same shall receave greater damnacion.

¹⁵ for I will geve you a mouth and wisdome where agaynste all youre adversarys shall not be able to speake nor resist.

²² For Moses sayd vnto the fathers: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you even of youre brethren lyke vnto me: him shall ye heare in all thinges whatsoever he shall saye vnto you. ²³ For the tyme will come yt every soule which shall not heare that same Prophet shalbe destroyed from amonge the people.

¹⁰ And they coulde not resist the wysdome and the sprete with which he spake.

¹² For the worde of god is quycke and myghty in operacion and sharper then eny two edged swearde: and entreth through even vnto the dividynge asonder of the soule and the sprete and of the ioyntes and the mary: and iudgeth the thoughtes and the intentes of the herte: ¹³ nether is there eny creature invisible in the sight of it. For all thynges are naked and bare vnto the eyes of him of who we speake.
