1 Brethren, I wolde not that ye shulde be ignoraunt of this, that oure fathers were all vnder the cloude, and all passed thorow the see,
2 & were all baptised vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see,
3 and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate,
4 and dyd all drynke of one spirituall drynke: but they dronke of the spirituall rocke that folowed the, which rocke was Christ.
5 Neuertheles in many of them had God no delyte, for they were smytten downe in the wyldernesse.
6 These are ensamples vnto vs, yt we shulde not lust after euell thinges, as they lusted.
7 Nether be ye worshippers off ymages, as were some of them. Acordinge as it is wrytte: The people sat downe to eate and drynke, and rose vp to playe.
8 Nether let vs commytte whordome, as some of them comytted whordome, and fell in one daye thre & twenty thousande.
9 Nether let vs tempte Christ, as some of them tempted him, and were destroyed of serpetes.
10 Nether murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and were destroyed thorow the destroyer.
