Matthew(i)
25 But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lord.
26 Then lyft he vp his hand against them to ouerthrowe them in the wildernes.
27 To cast out their sede among the nacions. and to scatter them in the landes.
28 They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor and eate the offeringes of the dead.
29 Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuencyons, and the plage was great among them.
30 Then stode vp Phynehes and executed iustice, and so the plage ceased.
31 And that was counted vnto him for ryghtuousnesse, amonge all posterityes for euermore.
32 They angeryd hym also at the waters of strife, so that Moyses was punished for ther sakes.
33 Because they prouoked his spirite, and he told them plainly with his lippes.
34 Nether destroied they the Heathen, as the Lorde commaunded them.
35 But were mingled among the Heathen, and lerned their workes.
36 In so much that they worshipped their images, which turned to their owne decay.
37 Yea they offred their sons and their daughters vnto deuels.
38 And shed the innocent bloud of their sonnes and of their daughters, whom they offered vnto the ymages of Canaan, so that the land was defiled with bloud.
39 Thus were they stayned with their owne workes, and went a whoring with their owne inuencyons.
40 Therfore was the wrath of the Lord kindled agaynst hys people, in so much that he abhorred his owne enheritaunce.
41 And gaue them ouer into the hand of the Heathen, and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them.
42 Their enemyes oppressed them, and had them in subieccion.
43 Many a tyme did he delyuer them but they prouoked him wyth theyr owne inuencyons and were broughte downe for theyr wyckednesse.
44 Neuertheles when he saw their aduersitie he herd their complaynt.
45 He thought vpon hys couenaunt, and pytyed them, accordyng vnto the multytude of hys mercyes.
46 Yea he made all those that had led them awaye captyue, to pitiye them.
47 Delyuer vs, O Lorde oure God, and gather vs from amonge the Heathen: that we maye geue thanckes to thy holye name, and make our boast of thy prayse.
48 Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel from euerlastyng and world without ende, and let all people saye: Amen, Amen. Prayse the euerlastynge.
