¹⁵ Neuertheles whan or enemies herde yt we had gotten worde of it, God broughte their councell to naughte, and we turned all againe to the wall, euery one vnto his labor.

² And E?dras the prest brought ye lawe before the congregacio both of men and wemen, and of all that coulde vnderstonde it, vpon the first daye of the seuenth moneth,

² As for the foolish man displeasure kylleth him, and anger slayeth ye ignoraunt.

¹² Which destroyeth the deuyces of the sotyll, so that they are not able to perfourme the thynges that they take in hode: ¹³ which compaseth ye wyse in their owne craftynesse, and ouertroweth the councell of the wicked: ¹⁴ In so moch that they runne in to darcknesse by fayre daye, and grope aboute them at the noone daye, like as in the night.

²⁵ For he hath stretched out his honde agaynst God, & armed himself agaynst ye Allmightie. ²⁶ He runneth proudly vpon him, & with a stiff necke fighteth he agaynst him: ²⁷ where as he couereth his face with fatnesse, and maketh his body well lykynge.

³⁵ He conceaueth trauayle, he beareth myschefe, & his body bryngeth forth disceate.

⁵ the prayse of the vngodly hath bene shorte, and that the ioye of Ypocrytes continued but ye twincklinge of an eye? ⁶ Though he be magnified vp to the heaue, so that his heade reacheth vnto the cloudes: ⁷ yet he perisheth at the last like donge: In so moch yt they which haue sene him, saye: Where is he? ⁸ He vanysheth as a dreame, so that he can nomore be founde, & passeth awaye as a vision in ye night. ⁹ So that the eye which sawe him before, getteth now no sight of him, & his place knoweth him nomore.

¹³ wilt thou therfore saye: Tush, how shulde God knowe? Doth his dominion reach beyonde the cloudes?

²⁹ Yf he delyuer & graunte pardo, who will iudge or condemne? But yf he hyde awaye his countenaunce, who wil turne it aboute agayne, whether it be to the people or to eny man?

⁹ Is thine arme then like the arme of God? Maketh thy voyce soch a soude as his doth? ¹⁰ Then arme thy self with thine owne power, vp, decke the in thy ioly araye, ¹¹ poure out the indignacion of thy wrath: se that thou cast downe all ye proude, ¹² loke well, that thou makest all soch as be stubburne, to obeye: treade all the vngodly vnder thy fete, ¹³ cast the downe in to the myre, and couer their faces with darcknesse: ¹⁴ Then will I confesse also, that thyne owne right honde hath saued the.

¹ Why do the Heithe grudge? why do the people ymagyn vayne thinges? ² The kynges of the earth stode vp, and the rulers are come together, agaynst the LORDE ad agaynst his anoynted. ³ Let vs breake their bondes a sunder, and cast awaye their yocke from vs. ⁴ Neuerthelesse, he that dwelleth in heauen, shall laugh the to scorne: yee euen the LORDE himselff shall haue them in derision.

⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hill of Sion. ⁷ As for me I will preach the lawe, wherof the LORDE hath sayde vnto me: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the. ⁸ Desyre off me, and I shall geue the the Heithen for thine enheritaunce, Yee the vttemost partes of the worlde for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shalt rule them with a rodde of yron, and breake the in peces like an erthen vessell. ¹⁰ Be wyse now therfore (o ye kynges) be warned, ye that are iudges of the earth. ¹¹ Serue the LORDE with feare, and reioyse before him with reuerence. ¹² Kysse the sonne, lest the LORDE be angrie, and so ye perish from the right waye. For his wrath shalbe kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

¹⁴ Beholde, he trauayleth with myschefe, he hath coceaued vnhappynesse, and brought forth a lye.

¹⁴ Beholde, he trauayleth with myschefe, he hath coceaued vnhappynesse, and brought forth a lye. ¹⁵ He hath grauen and dygged vp a pytte, but he shal fall himself in to ye pytte yt he hath made.

¹⁵ As for the Heithen, the are suncke downe in the pytte that they made: in the same nette, which they spred out priuely, is their owne fote take. ¹⁶ Thus ye LORDE is knowne to execute true iudgment, whe the vngodly is trapped in the workes of his owne handes.

¹⁰ The LORDE bryngeth the councell of the Heithen to naught, and turneth the deuyces of the people.

¹⁰ The LORDE bryngeth the councell of the Heithen to naught, and turneth the deuyces of the people. ¹¹ But the coucell of the LORDE endureth, and the thoughtes of his hert from generacion to generacion.

⁷ The angell of the LORDE pitcheth his tente rounde aboute them that feare him, and delyuereth them.

¹² The vngodly layeth wayte for the iust, & gna?sheth vpon him wt his tethe. ¹³ But ye LORDE laugheth him to scorne, for he seith yt his daye is cominge. ¹⁴ The vngodly drawe out the swerde & bende their bowe, to cast downe ye symple & poore, and to slaye soch as go ye right waye. ¹⁵ Neuertheles, their swerde shal go thorow their owne hert, and their bowe shalbe broke.

³² The lawe of his God is in his hert, therfore shal not his fotesteppes slyde. ³³ The vngodly seyth the rightuous, & goeth aboute to slaye him.

¹⁸ Yf thou seist a thefe, thou runnest with him, and art partaker with the aduouterers.

² Hyde me from the gatheringe together of ye frowarde, fro ye heape of wicked doers. ³ Which whette their tuges like a swerde, & shute wt their venimous wordes like as wt arowes. ⁴ That they maye preuely hurte ye innocet, & sodely to hit him wt out eny feare. ⁵ They haue deuysed myschefe, and commoned amonge them selues, how they maye laye snares: tush (saye they) who shall se them? ⁶ They ymagin wickednesse, and kepe it secrete amonge them selues, euery man in ye depe of his herte. ⁷ But God shall sodenly shute with an arowe, yt they shall be wounded. ⁸ Yee their owne tunges shall make them fall, In so moch that who so seyth the, shal laugh the to scorne. ⁹ And all men that se it, shal saye: this hath God done for they shal perceaue, yt it is his worke.

¹⁰ Sela. When thou punyshest one man, he must knowlege, that thou art redy to punysh other mo.

¹⁸ Yet for all this they synned agaynst him, and prouoked the most hyest in the wildernesse. ¹⁹ They tempted God in their hertes, and requyred meate for their lust, ²⁰ For they spake agaynst God and sayde: Yee yee, God shal prepare a table in the wyldernesse, shall he?

⁴⁰ For he considered yt they were but flesh: euen a wynde that passeth awaye, and commeth not agayne. ⁴¹ O how oft haue they greued him in the wildernesse? How many a tyme haue they prouoked him in the deserte?

⁵⁶ He dyd cast out the Heithen before them, caused their londe to be deuyded amonge them for an heretage, and made ye tribes of Israel to dwell in their tetes.

⁷ Yee what is he amonge the goddes, that is like vnto the LORDE?

¹⁹ The LORDE is oure defence, and the holy one of Israel is oure kynge.

²⁴ I shal smyte downe his foes before his face, and plage them that hate him.

⁷ And yet they saie: Tush, the LORDE seyth not, the God of Iacob regardeth it not. ⁸ Take hede, ye vnwise amonge the people: o ye fooles, when wil ye vnderstonde? ⁹ He that planted the eare, shal he not heare? he that made the eye, shal not he se?

⁸ Todaye yf ye wil heare his voyce, harde not youre hertes, as whe ye prouoked in tyme of temptacion in the wildernes. ⁹ Where yor fathers tepted me, proued me, and sawe my workes. ¹⁰ XL. yeares longe was I greued with that generacion, & sayde: they euer erre in their hertes, they verely haue not knowne my wayes. ¹¹ Therfore I sware vnto the in my wrath, that they shulde not enter in to my rest.

¹⁷ But he had sent a man before them, euen Ioseph which was solde to be a bonde seruaunt. ¹⁸ They hurte his fete in the stockes, the yron pearsed his herte. ¹⁹ Vntill the tyme that his worde came, and till the worde of ye LORDE had tried him. ²⁰ Then sent the kinge and caused him be delyuered, the prynce of the people bad let him go.

²² That he might enfourme his prynces after his wil, and teach his Senatours wysdome.

¹ The LORDE sayde vnto my LORDE: Syt thou on my right hande, vntill I make thine enemies thy fotestole. ² The LORDE shal sende the rodde of thy power out of Sion, be thou ruler euen in ye myddest amonge thine enemies.

¹²⁰ My flesh trebleth for feare of the, and I am afrayed of thy iudgmetes.

⁴ Thou hast fashioned me behinde & before, & layed thine hode vpon me.

⁷ The LORDE lowseth men out of preson, the LORDE geueth sight to the blynde.

²¹ It shal not helpe ye wicked, though they laye all their hondes together, but the sede of the rightuous shalbe preserued.

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his catell, but the vngodly haue cruell hertes.

³⁰ A mery herte is the life of the body, but rancoure consumeth awaye the bones.

⁵ The LORDE abhorreth all presumptuous & proude hertes, there maye nether strength ner power escape.

²⁵ It is a snare for a man to blaspheme that which is holy, & then to go aboute wt vowes.

³⁰ There is no wy?dome, there is no vnderstondinge, there is no councell agaynst the LORDE.

⁴ Wrath is a cruell thige, and furiousnesse is a very tempest: yee who is able to abyde envye?

⁴ Agayne, I sawe that all trauayle and diligence of laboure was hated of euery man. This is also a vaine thinge, and a vexacion of mynde.

⁴ Yf thou make a vowe vnto God, be not slacke to perfourme it. As for foolish vowes, he hath no pleasure in them.

⁵ because that the Kynge of Siria Ephraim and Romelies sonne haue wekedly conspyred agaynst the, ⁶ sayenge: We will go downe in to Iuda, vexe the, and brynge them vnder vs, and set a Kynge there, euen the sonne of Taball. ⁷ For thus saieth the LORDE God ther to, It shall not so go forth, nether come so to passe:

⁹ Go together ye people, and gather you, herken to all ye of farre countrees. Mustre you, and gather you: mustre you and gather you, ¹⁰ take youre councel together, yet must youre councel come to nought: go in honde withal, yet shal it not prospere. Excepte Emanuel: (that is God) be with

⁶ For vnto us a childe shalbe borne, and vnto us a sonne shalbe geue. Vpo his shulder shal the kyngdome lye, and he shalbe called wt his owne name: The woderous geuer of councel, the mightie God, the euerlastinge father, the prynce of peace, ⁷ he shal make no ende to encrease the kyngdome and peace, and shal syt vpon the seate of Dauid and in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, to stablish it with equyte and rightuousnesse, from thence forth for euermore. This shal the gelousy of the LORDE of hoostes bringe to passe.

²⁵ The Assirians shalbe destroyed in my londe, and vpon my mountaytaines wyll I treade them vnder fote. Wherthorow his yocke shall come from you, & his burthen shalbe taken from youre shulders.

¹⁵ Wo be vnto them that seke so depe, to hyde their ymaginacion before the LORDE, which rehearce their coucels in ye darknes, and saye: who seith vs, or who knoweth vs?

¹⁰ They darre saye to the prophetes: Intromitte youre selues with nothinge, and vnto ye Soythsayers: tell us of nothinge for to come, but speake frendly wordes vnto vs, and preach vs false thinges.

¹⁴ The synners at Sion are afrayde, a sodane fearfulnesse is come vpon the ypocrytes. What is he amonge us (saye they) that will dwell by that consumynge fyre? which of vs maye abyde that euerlastinge heate?

³ For I am the LORDE thy God, the holyone of Israel, thy Sauioure. I gaue Egipte for yi delyueraunce, the Moryas and the Sabees for the:

¹¹ I am only the LORDE, and without me is there no Sauioure.

¹³ And euen he am I from the begynnynge, and there is none, that can take eny thinge out of my honde. And what I do, can no man chaunge.

³ For I shal poure water vpon the drie grounde, and ryuers vpon the thurstie. I shal poure my sprete vpon thi sede, and myne encrease vpo thy stocke. ⁴ They shal growe together, like as the grasse, and as the Willies by the waters side. ⁵ One will saye: I am the LORDES. Another wil call vnder the name of Iacob. The thirde shal subscrybe with his honde vnto ye LORDE, and geue him self vnder the name of Israel.

⁹ Wo be vnto him that chydeth wt his maker, the potsherde with the potter. Saieth ye claye to the potter: What makest thou? or, yi worke serueth for nothige?

²¹ Let men drawe nye, let them come hither, ad aske councel one at another, and shewe forth: What is he, that tolde this before? or, who spake of it, euer sence the begynnynge? Haue not I ye LORDE done it: without whom there is none other God? the true God and sauioure, and there is els none but I?

²⁴ sayenge: Verely in the LORDE is my rightuousnes and strength. To him shal me come: but all they that thinke scorne of him, shalbe confounded.

¹⁰ In the begynnynge of a thinge, I shewe the ende therof: and I tel before, thinges that are not yet come to passe. With one worde is my deuyce accomplished, & fulfilleth all my pleasure.

²⁶ And wil fede thine enemies with their owne fleshe, and make the drinke of their owne bloude, as of swete wyne. And all flesh shal knowe (o Iacob) that I am the LORDE thy Sauioure, and stronge auenger.

¹ Bvt who geueth credence vnto oure preachinge? Or to who is the arme of the LORDE knowne? ² He shal growe before the LORDE like as a brauch, & as a rote in a drie grounde. He shal haue nether bewty ner fauoure. When we loke vpon him, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shal haue no lust vnto him.

¹¹ So the worde also that commeth out of my mouth, shal not turne agayne voyde vnto me, but shal accoplish my wil & prospere in the thinge, wherto I sende it. ¹² And so shal ye go forth wt ioye, & be led with peace. The mountaynes and hilles shal synge with you for ioye, and all the trees of the felde shal clappe their hondes. ¹³ For thornes, there shal growe Fyrre trees, & ye Myrte tre in the steade of breres. And this shal be done to the prayse of the LORDE, & for an euerlastinge toke, that shal not be taken awaye.

¹ And therfore crie now, as loude as thou canst. Leaue not of, lift vp thy voyce like a tropet, and shewe my people their offences, and ye house of Iacob their synnes.

⁴ No man regardeth righteousnes, & no ma iudgeth truly Euery man hopeth in vayne thinges, and ymagineth disceate, coceaueth weerynesse, & bringeth forth euell.

¹ The sprete of the LORDE God is wt me, for ye LORDE hath anoynted me, & sent me, to preach good tydiges vnto the poore, yt I might bynde vp ye wounded hertes, yt I might preach delyueraunce to ye captyue, & open the preson to the that are bounde:

¹⁰ And therfore I am ioyful in the LORDE, & my soule reioyseth in my God. For he shall put vpon me the garmet of health, & couer me with the matle of rightuousnes. He shal decke me like a brydegrome, & as a bryde that hath hir apparell vpo her.

¹⁴ Beholde, my seruauntes shal reioyse for very quietnesse of herte. But ye shal crie for sorow of hert, and coplayne for vexacion of mynde.

⁵ Heare the worde of God all ye, that feare the thinge which he speaketh. Youre brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my names sake, saye: Let the LORDE magnifie himself, that we maye se youre gladnesse: & yet they shalbe cofounded.

¹⁴ Wherfore thus saieth the LORDE God of hoostes: because ye speake soch wordes, beholde: The wordes that are in thy mouth will I turne to fyre, and make the people to be wod, that it maye consume them.

² Stonde vnder the gates of the LORDES house, and crie out these wordes there, with a loude voyce, and saye: Heare the worde of the LORDE, all ye of Iuda, that go in at this dore, to honoure the LORDE.

¹⁴ And so Ieremy came from Tophet, where the LORDE had sent him to prophecie, and stode in the courte off the house off the LORDE, and spake to all the people: ¹⁵ Thus saieth the LORDE off hoostes the God of Israel: Beholde, I will bringe vpon this cite and vpon euery towne aboute it, all the plages that I haue deuysed agaynst them: for they haue bene obstinate, ad wolde not obeye my warnynges.

² he smote Ieremy, and put him in the stockes, that are by the hie gate of Ben Iamin, in the house of ye LORDE. ³ The nexte daye folowinge, Pashur brought Ieremy out of the stockes agayne. Then sayde Ieremy vnto him: The LORDE shall call the nomore Pashur (that is excellent and increasinge) but Magor (that is fearfull ad afrayed) euery where.

¹ Thus sayde the LORDE also: Go downe in to the house of the kinge off Iuda, and speake there these wordes, ² & saye: Heare the worde off the LORDE, thou kinge off Iuda that syttest in the kyngly seate off Dauid: thou and thy seruauntes ad ye people, that go in & out at this gate.

²⁴ Maye eny man hyde him self so, that I shal not se him? saieth the LORDE. Do not I fulfill heauen and earth? saieth the LORDE.

² Thus saieth the LORDE: Stonde in the courte of the LORDES house, and speake vnto all them which (out of the cities of Iuda) come to do worshippe in the LORDES house, all the wordes yt I commaunde the to saye. Loke that thou kepe not one worde backe,

¹⁵ But this shall ye knowe: yf ye put me to death, ye shal make youre selues, this cite & all the inhabitours there of, giltie of innocent bloude. For this is of a treuth: that the LORDE hath sente me vnto you, to speake all these wordes in youre eares.

¹⁹ Dyd Ezechias ye kinge of Iuda & the people of Iuda put him to deeth for this? No verely, but rather feared ye LORDE, & made their praier vnto him. For the which cause also ye LORDE repented of the plage, yt he had deuysed agaynst them. Shulde we then do soch a shamefull dede agaynst oure soules?

³¹ Beholde, the dayes come (saieth the LORDE) yt I will make a new couenaunt with ye house of Israel & with ye house of Iuda: ³² not after the couenaunt that I made with their fathers, when I toke them by the honde, & led them out of the londe of Egipte: which couenaunt they brake, wherfore I punyshed them sore, saieth the LORDE: ³³ But this shalbe the couenaunt that I will make with the house of Israel after those dayes, saieth the LORDE: I will plante my lawe in the inwarde partes of them, and write it in their hertes, and wilbe their God, and they shalbe my people.

⁴⁰ And I will set vp an euerlastinge couenaunt with them, Namely: that I will neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I will put my feare in their hertes, so that they shall not runne awaye fro me.

¹⁰ Then red Baruch the wordes of Ieremy out of the boke within the house of the LORDE, out of ye treasury of Gamarias the sonne off Saphan the scrybe, which is besyde the hyer loffte off the new dore of the LORDES house: that all ye people might heare.

⁴ The sayde the prynces vnto ye kynge: Syr, we besech you let this man be put to death, For thus he discorageth the hodes of the soudyers yt be in this cite, & the hodes of all the people, whe he speaketh soch wordes vnto the. This ma verely laboureth not for peace of ye people, but mischefe.

³⁷ What is he then that saieth: there shulde somthinge be done without the LORDES comaundement?

⁵⁵ I called vpon thy name (O LORDE) out of the depe pitte. ⁵⁶ Thou hast herde my voyce, & hast not turned awaye thine eares fro my sighinge and crienge. ⁵⁷ Thou hast enclyned yi self vnto me, whe I called vpon the, & haist sayde: feare not. ⁵⁸ Thou (O LORDE) hast mayntened the cause of my soule, and hast redemed my life.

¹³ Now when I preached, Pheltias the sonne of Banias dyed. Then fell I downe vpo my face, & cried with a loude voyce: O LORDE God, wilt thou then vterly destroye all the remnaunt in Israel?

²⁴ And all the trees of the felde shall knowe, that I the LORDE haue brought downe the hie tre, and set the lowe tre vp: that I haue dryed vp the grene tre, and made the drye tre to florish: Euen I the LORDE yt spake it, haue also brought it to passe.

²⁴ I the LORDE wil be their God, and my seruaunt Dauid shal be their prince: Euen I the LORDE haue spoken it.

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, & ye shalbe clene: Yee from all youre vnclennesse and from all yor Idols shal I clense you. ²⁶ A new herte also wil I geue you, and a new sprete wil I put in to you: As for that stony hert, I will take it out of youre body, and geue you a fle?shy herte. ²⁷ I wil geue you my sprete amonge you, and cause you to walke in my commaundemetes, to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them. ²⁸ And so ye shall dwell in the londe, that I gaue to yor forefathers, & ye shal be my people, and I wil be youre God. ²⁹ I wil helpe you out of all youre vnclenesse, I wil call for the corne, and wil increase it, and wil let you haue no honger. ³⁰ I will multiplie the frutes of the trees and ye increase of the felde for you, so that ye shal beare no more reprofe of honger amoge the Heithe. ³¹ Then shal ye remebre yor owne wicked wayes, and youre ymaginacios, which were not good: so that ye shal take displeasure at youre owne selues, by reason of youre synnes and abhominacions. ³² But I wil not do this for youre sakes (saieth the LORDE God) be ye sure of it. Therfore (o ye house of Israel) be ashamed of youre synnes. ³³ Morouer, thus saieth the LORDE God: what tyme as I shal clese you from all youre offences, then wil I make the cities to be occupied agayne, and wil repayre the places that be decayed. ³⁴ The desolate londe shalbe buylded agayne, which afore tyme laye waist, in the sight of all them, that wete by. ³⁵ Then shal it be sayde: This waist lode is become like a garden of pleasure, and the voyde, desolate and broke downe cities, are now stronge, and fensed agayne. ³⁶ Then the residue of the Heithen that lye rounde aboute you, shal knowe, that I am the LORDE, which repayre that was broken downe, and plante agayne, that was made waist. Euen I the LORDE haue spoken it, & wil do it in dede. ³⁷ Thus saieth the LORDE God: I wil yet once be founde agayne of ye house of Israel, & do this for them: I shal increase them as a flocke of men. ³⁸ Like as the holy flocke and the flocke of Ierusalem are in the hie solempne feastes: so shal also the wilde waisted cities be fylled with flockes of men: and they shal knowe, that I am the LORDE.

²⁵ They shal dwell in the londe, that I gaue vnto Iacob my seruaunt, where as youre fathers also haue dwelt. Yee eue in the same londe shal they, their children, & their childers children dwell for euermore: and my seruaunt Dauid shal be their euerlastynge prynce.

¹⁰ Morouer, thus saieth the LORDE God: At the same tyme shal many thinges come in to thy mynde, so that thou shalt ymagyn myschefe,

³⁴ This thou sawest, till the tyme that (with out eny hondes) there was hewen off a stone which smote the ymage vpon the fete, that were both off yron and earth, and brake the to poulder: ³⁵ then was the yron, the earth, the copper, the syluer and golde broken altogether in peces: and became like the chaffe off corne, that the wynde bloweth awaye from ye somer floores, that they ca nomore be foude. But the stone that smote the ymage, became a greate mountayne, which fulfylleth the whole earth:

⁴⁴ In the dayes off these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlastinge kyngdome which shall not perish, and his kyngdome shall not be geuen ouer to another people: Yee the same shall breake and destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer. ⁴⁵ And where as thou sawest, that without eny hondes there was cut out of the mount a stone, which brake the yron, the copper ye earth, the syluer and golde in peces: by that hath ye greate God shewed the kynge, what wyl come after this. This is a true dreame, and the interpretacion of it is sure.

¹¹ who so the fell not downe and worshipped not, that he shulde be cast in to an hote burnynge ouen. ¹² Now are there certaine Iewes, whom thou hast set ouer the offices of the londe off Babilon: namely, Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago. These men (o kynge) regarde not thy comaundemet, yee they will not serue thy goddes, ner bowe them selues to the golden ymage, that thou hast set vp. ¹³ Then Nabuchodonosor in a cruell wrath and displeasure, commaunded, yt Sidrac, Misac & Abdenago shulde be brought vnto him. So these men were brought before the kynge. ¹⁴ Then Nabuchodonosor spake vnto them, and sayde: what? o Sidrac Misac and Abdenago, will not ye serue my goddes? nor bowe youre selues to the golden ymage, that I haue set vp? ¹⁵ wel, be redy herafter, when ye heare the noyse of the tropettes, blowne with the harpes, shawmes, psalteries, symphonies and all ye other melodies: that ye fall downe, and worshipe the ymage which I haue made. But yff ye worshipe it not, ye shal be cast immediatly in to an hote burnynge ouen. Let se, what god is there, yt maye delyuer you out of my hondes? ¹⁶ Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago answered the kynge, and sayde: O Nabuchodonosor, we ought not to cosente vnto ye in this matter, for why: ¹⁷ oure God whom we serue, is able to kepe vs from the hote burnynge ouen (O kynge) and can right wel delyuer vs out off thy hondes. ¹⁸ And though he wil not, yet shalt thou knowe (o kynge) that we will not serue thy goddes, ner do reuerece to the ymage, which thou hast set vp. ¹⁹ Then was Nabuchodonosor full off indignacion, so that ye countenaunce of his face chaunged vpo Sidrac, Misac & Abdenago. Therfore he charched and commaunded, that the ouen shulde be made seuen tymes hoter, then it was wote to be: ²⁰ and spake vnto the strongest worthies that were in his hooste, for to bynde Sidrac, Misac and Abdenago, and to cast them in to the hote burnynge ouen. ²¹ So these men were bounde in their cotes, hosen, shues with their other garmentes, ad cast in to the hote burnynge ouen: ²² for the kinges commaundement was so strate, and the ouen was exceadynge hote. As for the men that put in Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago, the flame off the fyre destroyed them. ²³ And these thre men Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago fell downe in ye hote burnynge ouen, beinge fast bounde. ²⁴ Then Nabuchodonosor the kynge marueled, and stode vp in all haist: he spake vnto his councel and sayde: dyd not ye cast these thre men bounde in to the fyre? They answered, and sayde vnto the kynge: Yee o kynge. ²⁵ He answered and sayde: lo, for all that, yet do I se foure men goinge lowse in the myddest off the fyre, and nothinge corrupte: and the fourth is like an angel to loke vpon.

³⁵ in comparyson off whom, all they that dwell vpon the earth, are to be reputed as nothinge. He handleth acordinge to his will, amoge ye powers of heauen & amonge the inhabitours of the earth: and there is none that maye resiste his honde, or saye: what doest thou?

²² My God hath sent his angel, which hath shut the lyons mouthes, so that they might not hurte me. For why: myne vngiltynesse is founde out before him. And as for the (o kynge) I neuer offended the. ²³ Then was the kynge exceadinge glad, ad commaunded to take Daniel out off the denne. So Daniel was brought out of the dene, and no maner of hurte was founde vpo him For he put his trust in his God. ²⁴ And as for those men which had accused Daniel, the kige commaunded to bringe them, and to cast them in the lyons denne: them, their children and their wyues. So the lyons had the mastry of them, and brake all their bones a sonder, or euer they came at the grounde.

²⁵ Vnderstode this then, and marcke it well: that from the tyme it shalbe concluded, to go and repayre Ierusalem agayne, vnto Christ (or the anoynted) prynce: there shalbe seuen wekes. Then shall the stretes & walles be buylded agayne lxij. wekes, but with harde troublous tyme.

²¹ Neuertheles, I wil shewe the the thinge, yt is fast noted in the scripture of treuth. And as for all yonder matters, there is none that helpeth me in them, but Michael youre prynce.

¹² But Ephraim goeth aboute me with lies, and the house of Israel dyssembleth. Only Iuda holdeth him with God, and with the true holy thinges.

¹² But ye gaue the absteyners wyne to drynke, yee ye comaunded the prophetes, sayenge: Prophecy not.

¹⁰ Vpon this sent Amasias the prest to Bethel vnto Ieroboam the kinge of Israel, sayenge: Amos maketh the house off Israel to rebell agaynst the, the londe ca not awaye with his wordes.

⁶ Tush, holde youre tunge (saye they) It shall not fall vpon this people, we shall not come so to confucion,

³ yet they saye they do well, when they do euell. As the prince wil, so sayeth the iudge: yt he maye do him a pleasure agayne. The greate ma speaketh what his herte desyreth, & ye hearers alowe him.

¹² and speake vnto him: Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: Beholde, the man whose name is the braunch: & he that shall springe vp after him, shal buylde vp the temple of the LORDE: ¹³ yee euen he shall buylde vp the temple of the LORDE. He shal beare the prayse, he shall syt vpon the LORDES trone, and haue the dominaciou. A prest shall he be also vpon his trone, & a peaceable councell shalbe betwixte them both.

¹⁰ Morouer, vpon the house off Dauid and vpon the citesyns off Ierusalem, will I poure out the sprete of grace and prayer: so that they shal loke vpon me, whom they haue pearsed: and they shall bewepe him, as men mourne for their only begotten sonne: Yee and be sory for him, as men are sory for their first childe.

¹⁴ Cursed be the dyssembler, which hath in his flocke one that is male, and when he maketh a vowe, offereth a spotted one vnto the LORDE. For I am a greate kynge (sayeth the LORDE of hoostes) and my name is fearfull amonge the Heithen.

⁸ Shulde a man vse falsede and disceate with God, as ye vse falsede and disceate with me? Yet ye saye: wherin vse we disceate with the? In Tythes and heaue offerynges. ⁹ Therfore are ye cursed with penury, because ye dyssemble with me, all the sorte of you.

²⁰ Neuertheles whyle he thus thought, beholde, the angell of the LORDE appered vnto him in a dreame, saynge: Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is coceaued in her, is of ye holy goost. ²¹ She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from their synnes.

³ And the tepter came to him and sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God, commaunde, that these stones be made breed. ⁴ He answered & sayde: yt is wrytte: Man shall not lyue by bred onlye, but by euery worde that proceadeth out of the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the deuyll toke hym vp into the holy cite, and set hym on a pynacle of the temple, ⁶ and sayde vnto hym: yf thou be ye sonne of God, cast thy sylfe downe. For it is wrytten: he shall geue his angels charge ouer the and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone. ⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: it ys wrytten also: Thou shalt not tempte thy LORDE God.

⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: it ys wrytten also: Thou shalt not tempte thy LORDE God. ⁸ Agayne, the deuyll toke hym vp and led hym into an excedynge hye mountayne, and shewed hym all the kyngdomes of the worlde, and all the glorie of them, ⁹ and sayde vnto hym: all these wil I geue the, yf thou wilt fall downe and worship me. ¹⁰ Then sayde Iesus vnto hym: Auoyde Sata. For it ys wrytte: thou shalt worshyp the LORDE thy God and hym onely shalt thou serue. ¹¹ Then the deuell left hym, and beholde, the angels came and ministred vnto hym.

²⁴ And his fame spred abrode through out all Siria. And they brought vnto hym all sick people, that were taken with diuers diseases and gripinges, and the yt were possessed with deuils, & those which were lunatyke, and those that had the palsie: & he healed the.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucion for rightwesnes sake: for theirs is the kyngdome of heuen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and falsly say all manner of yuell saynges against you for my sake. ¹² Reioyce and be glad, for greate is youre rewarde in heue.For so persecuted they the Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

²² But I saye vnto you: whosoeuer is angrie with his brother, is in daunger of the iudgement. Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother: Racha, is in daunger of ye cousell. But whosoeuer sayeth: thou foole, is in daunger of hell fyre.

² When soeuer therfore thou geuest thine almes, thou shalt not make a trompet to be blowen before the, as the ypocrites do in the synagoges and in the stretes, for to be praysed of me. Verely I saye vnto you: they haue their rewarde. ³ But whe thou doest almes, let not thy lefte hande knowe, what thy righte hande doth;

¹⁶ When the euen was come, they brought vnto him many that were possessed with deuylls. And he cast out ye spirites with a worde, & healed all that were sicke,

²¹ For she sayde in her silfe: yf I maye touche but euen his vesture only, I shalbe safe.

¹⁷ Beware of men, for they shall deliuer you vp to the cousels, and shal scourge you in their synagoges.

²¹ The brother shall delyuer the brother to deeth, and the father the sonne. And the chyldren shall aryse agaynst their fathers & mothers, & shall helpe them to deeth:

²⁵ It is ynough for the disciple, to be as his master, and the seruaunt as his LORDE. Yf they haue called the good ma of the house Beelzebub, how moch more shal they call them of his housholde so?

¹⁹ Whan one heareth ye worde of the kyngdome, and vnderstondeth it not, the euell man cometh, and plucketh it awaye that is sowne in his hert: & this is he yt is sowne by the waye syde.

⁴⁷ Agayne, ye kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a nett cast in to ye see, wherwith are take all maner of fyshes: ⁴⁸ & wha it is ful, me drawe it out vnto ye shore, & sytt & gather ye good i to the vessels, but cast the bad awaye.

⁵ And fayne wolde he haue put him to death, but he feared the people, because they helde him for a Prophet.

³⁶ & besought him, that they might but touch the hemme of his vesture onely: & as many as touched it, were made whole.

¹³ He answered, and sayde: All plantes which my heauenly father hath not planted, shal be pluckte vp by ye rotes.

³⁰ And there came vnto him moch people, hauinge with them, lame, blynde, dome, crepell, and other many, and cast them downe at Iesus fete. And he healed the, ³¹ in so moch that the people wodred, to se the dome speake, the crepell whole, the halt to go, & the blynde to se. And they praysed the God of Israel.

¹⁸ And I saie to ye: Thou art Peter, & vpo this rocke wil I builde my cogregacion: and ye gates of hell shal not preuayle agaynst it.

²³ And when he was come in to the teple, the chefe prestes and the elders of the people came vnto him (as he was teachinge) & sayde: By what auctorite doest thou these thinges? and who gaue the this auctorite?

²⁶ But yf we saye it was of men, the feare we the people: For euery ma helde Ihon for a prophet.

⁴⁴ And who so falleth vpo this stone, shalbe broke in peces: & loke vpo whom it falleth, it shal grynde him to poulder.

⁵ All their workes do they to be sene of men. They set abrode their Philateries, and make large borders vpon their garmentes,

³⁴ Therfore beholde, I sende vnto you prophetes and wysemen, and scrybes, and some of them shal ye kyll and crucifye, and some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, and persecute them from cite to cite:

³⁴ Therfore beholde, I sende vnto you prophetes and wysemen, and scrybes, and some of them shal ye kyll and crucifye, and some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, and persecute them from cite to cite: ³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude which hath bene shed vpon ye earth, from the bloude of righteous Abel, vnto ye bloude of Zachary ye sonne of Barachias, whom ye slew betwene the temple and the altare.

³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude which hath bene shed vpon ye earth, from the bloude of righteous Abel, vnto ye bloude of Zachary ye sonne of Barachias, whom ye slew betwene the temple and the altare. ³⁶ Verely I saye vnto you: All these thinges shal light vpo this generacion.

⁹ Then shal they put you to trouble, & shal kyll you, and ye shalbe hated of all people for my names sake.

²⁴ For there shal aryse false Christes and false prophetes, and shal do greate tokes and wonders: In so moch, that (yf it were possible) the very chosen shulde be brought in to erroure.

²⁶ Wherfore yf they shal saye vnto you: Beholde, he is in the wildernes, go not ye forth:Beholde, he is in the chamber, beleue it not.

⁵ But they sayde: Not on the holy daye, lest there be an vproure in the people.

⁵² Then sayde Iesus vnto him: Put vp yi swerde in to his place. For all that take the swerde, shal perish with the swerde.

¹⁸ For he knewe well that they had delyuered him of enuye. ¹⁹ And wha he sat vpo the iudgmet seate, his wife sent vnto him, sayenge: Haue thou nothinge to do with that righteous man, for I haue suffred many thinges this daye in a dreame because of him.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and sayde: His bloude come vpon vs, and vpon oure children.

⁶³ and saide: Syr, we haue called to remembraunce, that this disceauer sayde whyle he was yet alyue: After thre dayes I wyl ryse agayne. ⁶⁴ Comaunde therfore that the sepulcre be kepte vnto the thirde daye, lest peraduenture his disciples come, and steale him awaye, and saye vnto the people: He is rysen from the deed, and so shal the last errour be worse the the first. ⁶⁵ Pylate sayde vnto them: There haue ye watchme, go youre waye, and kepe it as ye can. ⁶⁶ They wete and kepte the sepulcre wt watchmen, and sealed the stone.

¹² And they came together with the elders, and helde a councell, and gaue ye souders money ynough, ¹³ and sayde: Saye ye: his disciples came by night, and stole him awaye, whyle we were a slepe. ¹⁴ And yf this come to the debytes eares, we wyl styll him, and brynge it so to passe, that ye shal be safe. ¹⁵ And they toke the money, and dyd as they were taught. And this sayenge is noysed amonge the Iewes vnto this daye.

¹⁸ And Iesus came vnto them, talked with them, and sayde: Vnto me is geue all power in heauen and in earth.

³ And there came vnto him certaine, which brought one sicke of the palsye borne of foure. ⁴ And when they coude not come nye him for ye people, they vncouered ye rofe of ye house where he was. And when they had made a hole, they let downe the bed (by coardes) wherin the sicke of ye palsy laye.

¹⁰ But that ye maye knowe, that ye sonne of man hath power to forgeue synnes vpon earth, he sayde vnto the sicke of ye palsye:

¹² that with seynge eyes they maye se, and not discerne: and that with hearinge eares they maye heare, and not vnderstode, lest at eny tyme they turne, and their synnes be forgeuen them.

³⁰ And he sayde: Where vnto wyl we licken the kyngdome of God? Or by what symilitude wyl we compare it? ³¹ It is like a grayne of mustarde sede, which wha it is sowe vpo the londe, is the leest amonge all sedes of the earth. ³² And wha it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greater then all herbes, and getteth greate braunches, so yt the foules vnder the heaue maye dwell vnder ye shadowe therof.

⁵⁴ And whan thy were come out of the shippe, immediatly they knewe him, ⁵⁵ and ranne thorow out all the region aboute, and beganne on euery syde to brynge vnto him in beddes soch as were sicke, where they herde that he was. ⁵⁶ And whither so euer he entred in to townes, cities or vyllagies, there layed they the sicke in the market place, and prayed him, that they might but touch the hemme of his garment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.

⁷ But in vayne do they serue me, whyle they teach soch doctrynes as are nothinge but the commaundemetes of me. ⁸ Ye leaue the comaundement of God and kepe the tradicions of men, as the wasshynge of cruses and cuppes, & many soch thinges do ye. ⁹ And he saide vnto the: How goodly haue ye cast asyde the comaundement of God, to manteyne youre owne tradicions?

⁹ But take ye hede to youre selues. For they shal delyuer you vp to the councels, and synagoges, and ye shal be beaten, and shalbe brought before prynces and kynges for my namessake, for a wytnesse vnto the.

¹⁷ As for the tokens, which shal folowe the that beleue, these are they: In my name shal they cast out deuyls: Speake with new tunges: ¹⁸ Dryue awaye serpetes: And yf they drynke eny deedly thinge, it shal not hurte them: They shal laye their handes vpo the sicke, and they shal recouer.

²⁰ And they wente out, and preached euery where. And the LORDE wrought with them, and confirmed the worde with tokens folowynge.

¹¹ And the angell of the LORDE appeared vnto him, and stode on the right syde of the altare of incese.

⁵⁵ Euen as he promysed vnto oure fathers, Abraham and to his sede foreuer.

⁷² And yt he wolde shewe mercy vnto oure fathers, & thynke vpo his holy couenaut.

¹ It fortuned at the same tyme, that there wete out a comaundement fro Augustus the Emperoure, that the whole worlde shulde be taxed. ² And this taxynge was the first that was executed, whan Syrenius was leftenaunt in Siria.

¹¹ for vnto you this daye is borne ye Sauioure, eue Christ ye LORDE, in the cite of Dauid.

⁴⁶ And it fortuned after thre dayes, yt they founde him in the temple, syttinge amonge the teachers, hearynge the, and opposynge them.

²⁸ And as many as were in the synagoge, wha they herde yt, were fylled with wrath. ²⁹ And they rose vp, and thrust him out of the cite, and led him vp to the edge of the hyll whervpo their cite was buylded, that they might cast him downe headlynge.

¹⁷ And it fortuned vpo a daye, yt he taught, and there sat ye Pharises and scrybes, which were come out of all the townes of Galile, and Iewry, and fro Ierusale, and the power of the LORDE wete fro him, & healed euery man.

¹¹ But they were fylled full of madnes, and commoned together, what they wolde do to him.

²² Blessed are ye, whan men hate you, and put you out of their copanyes, and reuyle you, and cast out youre name as an euell thinge, for the sonne of mans sake.

¹¹ Whan the people knew of it, they folowed him. And he receaued them, and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God, and healed soch as hade nede therof.

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despyseth you, despyseth me: but who so despyseth me, despyseth him yt sent me.

⁵⁰ hat the bloude of all the prophetes which hath bene shed sens the foundacion of the worlde was layed, maye be requyred of this generacion: ⁵¹ from the bloude of Abell, vnto ye bloude of Zachary, which perished betwene the altare and ye temple. Yee I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this generacion. ⁵² Wo vnto you scrybes, for ye haue receaued ye keye of knowlege. Ye are not come in youre selues, and haue forbydden them that wolde haue bene in. ⁵³ Whan he spake thus vnto them, the scrybes and Pharyses beganne to preasse sore vpon him, and to stoppe his mouth with many questions, ⁵⁴ and layed wayte for him, and sought to hunte out some thinge out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

¹ There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, in so moch that they trode one another: Then beganne he, and sayde first vnto his disciples: Bewarre of the leuen of the Pharises, which is ypocrisye. ² But there is nothinge hyd, that shal not be discouered: nether secrete, that shal not be knowne.

¹ There were present at the same season certayne, that shewed him of ye Galileans, whose bloude Pilate had megled with their awne sacrifice. ² And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Suppose ye, that these Galileas were greater synners then all the other Galileans, because they suffred soch punyshment?

²⁶ Yf eny man come vnto me, and hate not his father, mother, wife, childre, brethre, sisters, yee and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and foloweth me, can not be my disciple. ²⁸ Which of you is it yt wil buylde a tower, and sytteth not downe first and counteth ye cost, whether he haue sufficiet to perfourme, it? ²⁹ lest after he hath layed the foundacio, and is not able to perfourme it, all they that se it, begynne to laugh him to scorne, ³⁰ & to saye: This man beganne to buylde, and is not able to perfurme it. ³¹ Or what kynge wil go to make battayl agaynst another kynge, and sytteth not downe first, and casteth in his mynde, whether he be able with ten thousande, to mete him that commeth agaynst him with twentye thousande? ³² Or els, whyle the other is yet a greate waye of he sendeth embassage, and desyreth peace. ³³ So likewyse euery one of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can not be my disciple. ³⁴ Salt is a good thinge: but yf the salt be vnsauery, what shal they season withall. ³⁵ It is nether good vpon the lande, ner in the donge hyll, but shal be cast awaye. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.

² And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare this of the? geue acomptes of yi stewardshipe, for thou mayest be no longer stewarde.

³⁷ And whan he wete downe fro mount Oliuete, ye whole multitude of his disciples begane ioyfully to prayse God with loude voyce, ouer all the miracles that they had sene, ³⁸ and sayde: Blessed be he, that cometh a kynge in the name of the LORDE. Peace be in heauen, and prayse in the height.

⁴⁵ And he wente into the temple, and begane to dryue out them that bought and solde therin, ⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: It is wrytten: My house is an house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of murthurers. ⁴⁷ And he taught daylie in the teple. But the hye prestes and the scrybes and the chefest of ye people wente aboute to destroye him, ⁴⁸ and founde not, what to do vnto him. For all the people stacke by him, and gaue him audience.

⁴⁸ and founde not, what to do vnto him. For all the people stacke by him, and gaue him audience.

⁶ But yf we saye, of men, then shal all the people stone vs, for they be persuaded, that Ihon is a prophet.

¹⁰ And whan his tyme was come, he sent a seruaut to the hussbadmen, that they might geue him of the frute of the vynyarde. But the hussbandmen bet him, and sent him awaye emptye.

¹⁹ And the hye prestes and scrybes wente aboute to laye handes vpon him the same houre, and they feared the people: for they perceaued, that he had spoke this symilitude agaynst them.

¹² But before all these, they shal laye handes vpon you, and persecute you, and delyuer you vp in to their synagoges and presons, and brynge you before kynges & prynces for my names sake.

¹⁵ for I wil geue you mouth & wyssdome, agaynst the which all youre aduersaries shal not be able to speake ner to resist.

³⁷ And on the daye tyme he taught in the temple, but in the night season he wente out and abode all night vpon mount Oliuete.

³⁷ And on the daye tyme he taught in the temple, but in the night season he wente out and abode all night vpon mount Oliuete. ³⁸ And all the people gat them vp early vnto him in the temple, for to heare him.

² And ye hye presstes and Scrybes sought how they might put him to death, and were afrayed of the people. ³ But Satan was entred in to Iudas, named Iscarioth (which was of ye nombre of ye twolue) ⁴ and he wete his waye, and talked with the hye prestes and with ye officers, how he wolde betraye him vnto them.

⁵² But Iesus sayde vnto the prestes and rulers of the temple, and to the Elders that were come vnto him: Ye are come forth as it were to a murthurer with swerdes, & with staues. ⁵³ I was daylie with you in the temple, and ye layed no handes vpon me. But this is youre houre, and the power of darknesse.

⁶⁶ And whan it was daye, there gathered together the Elders of the people, the hye prestes and scrybes, and led him vp before, their councell, and sayde:

⁴⁷ and to let repentaunce and remyssion, of synnes be preached in his name amoge all nacions, and to begynne at Ierusale.

⁴⁷ and to let repentaunce and remyssion, of synnes be preached in his name amoge all nacions, and to begynne at Ierusale. ⁴⁸ As for all these thinges, ye are wytnesses of the.

³⁷ All that my father geueth me, cometh vnto me: and who so cometh vnto me, him wyl not I cast out:

⁶³ It is ye sprete that quyckeneth, ye flesh profiteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake, are sprete, and are life.

⁶⁸ Then answered Simon Peter: LORDE, Whither shal we go? Thou hast the wordes of euerlastinge life:

³⁹ (But this spake he of the sprete, which they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.)

⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayde vnto them, he that came to him by night, which was one of them: ⁵¹ Doth oure lawe iudge eny man, before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done? ⁵² They answered and sayde vnto him? Art thou a Galilean also? Searche and loke, out of Galile aryseth no prophet. ⁵³ And so euery man wente home.

² and early in the mornynge came he agayne in to the temple, and all the people came vnto him. And he sat downe, and taught them.

⁵⁹ Then toke they vp stones, to cast at him. But Iesus hyd himself, and wente out of the temple.

²² This sayde his elders, because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred allready, that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ, the same shulde be excomunicate.

²³ and Iesus walked in Salomos porche.

⁴⁷ Then the hye prestes, and the pharises gathered a councell, and sayde: What do we? This man doth many tokens.

⁴⁷ Then the hye prestes, and the pharises gathered a councell, and sayde: What do we? This man doth many tokens. ⁴⁸ Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people.

⁴⁸ Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people.

⁴⁸ Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people. ⁴⁹ But one of them, named Caiphas, which was hye prest that same yeare, sayde vnto them: Ye knowe nothinge nether considre ye eny thinge at all.

⁶ (This sayde he not that he cared for the poore, but because he was a thefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geue.)

¹⁰ But ye hye prestes were aduysed to put Lazarus to death also:

¹⁹ But the pharises sayde amonge them selues: Ye se, that we preuayle nothinge, beholde, all ye worlde runneth after him.

⁴² Neuertheles many of the chefe rulers beleued on him, but because of the Pharises they wolde not be aknowne of it, lest they shulde be excommunicate,

⁵⁰ And I knowe that his commaundement is life euerlastinge. Therfore loke what I speake, that speake I eue so, as the father hath sayde vnto me.

² And after supper, whan the deuell had allready put into ye hert of Iudas Iscarioth Symons sonne, to betraye him,

²⁷ And after ye soppe the deuell entred in to him. Then sayde Iesus vnto him: That thou doest, do quyckly.

¹² Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that beleueth on me, shal do the workes that I do, and shal do greater then these: for I go to the father.

²⁰ Remembre my worde, that I sayde vnto you: The seruaunt is not greater then his lorde. Yf they haue persecuted me, they shal persecute you also: Yf they haue kepte my worde, they shal kepe yours also. ²¹ But all this shal they do vnto you for my names sake, because they knowe not him yt sent me.

²⁶ But wha the comforter commeth, who I shal sende you from the father eue the sprete of trueth which proceadeth of the father, he shal testifie of me ²⁷ and ye shal beare wytnesse also: for ye haue bene with me from the begynnynge.

² They shal excomunicate you. The tyme commeth, that who soeuer putteth you to death, shal thynke that he doth seruyce vnto God.

⁷ Neuertheles I tell you the trueth, It is better for you yt I go awaye: For yf I go not awaye that comforter commeth not vnto you: but yf I departe, I wil sende hi vnto you. ⁸ And whan he commeth, he shal rebuke the worlde of synne, and of righteousnes, & of iudgment. ⁹ Of synne, because they beleue not on me. ¹⁰ Of righteousnes, because I go to the father, and ye shal se me nomore. ¹¹ Of iudgmet, because the prynce of this worlde is iudged allready. ¹² I haue yet moch to saye vnto you, but ye can not now beare it awaye: ¹³ howbeit whan he (the sprete of trueth commeth) he shal lede you in to all trueth. For he shal not speake of himself, but what soeuer he shal heare, that shal he speake: and he shall shewe you, what is for to come. ¹⁴ He shal glorifye me: for he shal receaue of myne, and shal shewe vnto you.

³ But this is the life euerlastinge, that they knowe the (that thou onely art the true God) and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ.

⁸ For ye wordes which thou gauest me, haue I geue vnto them, and they haue receaued them, & knowne of a trueth, that I am come forth from the, and haue beleued, that thou hast sent me.

²⁰ Iesus answered him: I haue spoken openly before the worlde, I haue euer taught in the synagoge and in the teple, whither all the Iewes resorted, & in secrete haue I spoke nothinge.

³⁵ Pilate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thy people and the hye prestes haue delyuered the vnto me. What hast thou done?

¹ Then Pilate toke Iesus, and scourged him. ² And the soudyers platted a crowne of thornes, and set it vpon his heade, and put a purple garment vpon him, ³ and sayde: Hayle kynge of the Iewes. And they smote him on the face. ⁴ Then wente Pilate forth agayne, and sayde vnto the: Beholde, I brynge him forth vnto you, yt ye maye knowe, yt I fynde no faute in hi.

³⁸ After that, Ioseph of Arimathia, which was a disciple of Iesus (but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate, yt he might take downe the body of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him lycence.

⁴⁰ The toke they the body of Iesus, & wonde it with lynnen clothes, and with the spyces, as the maner of the Iewes is to burye.

²¹ The sayde Iesus vnto the agayne: Peace be with you. Like as my father sent me, eue so sede I you. ²² And whan he had sayde yt, he brethed vpo the, and sayde vnto the: Receaue the holy goost. ²³ Whose synnes soeuer ye remytte, they are remytted vnto the: and whose synnes so euer ye retayne, they are retayned.

⁸ but ye shal receaue the power of ye holy goost, which shal come vpon you, and ye shalbe my witnesses at Ierusalem, and in all Iewrye and Samaria, and vnto the ende of the earth.

¹⁴ These all contynued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion, with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren.

⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost. And they beganne to preach with other tunges, euen as the sprete gaue them vtteraunce.

¹² They were all amased, and wondred, and sayde one to another: What wil this be?

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, ye man approued of God amonge you with miracles, and wonders and tokens, which God dyd by him in the myddes amonge you, as ye yor selues knowe also, ²³ him (after that he was delyuered by the determinate councell and foreknowlege of God) haue ye taken by the handes of vnrighteous personnes, and crucifyed him, & slayne him,

²⁹ And now LORDE, beholde their threatenynges, and graunte vnto thy seruauntes with all stedfast boldnesse to speake thy worde: ³⁰ and stretch out thine hande, that healinge and tokes and wonders maye be done by the name of thy holy childe Iesus.

³² The multitude of them that beleued, were of one hert and of one soule.

And the hye prest axed them, ²⁸ and sayde: Dyd not we comaunde you strately, that ye shulde not teache in this name. And beholde, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and ye intede to brynge this mans bloude vpon vs. ²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayde: We ought more to obeye God then men.

³⁴ Then stode there vp in ye councell a pharyse, named Gamaliel, a scribe, had in greate reputacion before all ye people, and bad put the Apostles asyde a litle, ³⁵ and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Israel, take hede to youre selues, what ye do as touchinge these men.

⁴⁰ Then they agreed vnto him, and called the Apostles, and bet them, and commaunded them, that they shulde speake nothinge in the name of Iesu, and let them go. ⁴¹ But they departed from the presence of the councell, reioysinge, that they were worthy to suffre rebuke for his names sake.

⁷ And the worde of God increased, and the nombre of the disciples multiplied greatly at Ierusalem. And there were many prestes also obedient vnto the fayth.

¹⁰ and they coulde not resiste the wyssdome and the sprete, out of the which he spake.

¹² And they moued the people, and the Elders and the scrybes, and came vpon him, & caught him,

⁹ And the Patriarkes had indignacion at Ioseph, and solde hi in to Egipte. And God was with him,

⁵¹ Ye styffnecked & of vncircumcysed hertes and eares, ye allwaye resiste the holy goost: Eue as yor fathers dyd, so do ye also. ⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not yor fathers persecuted?

²¹ Thou shalt haue nether parte ner felashipe in this worde, for yi hert is not righte before God. ²² Repente therfore of this yi wickednesse, and praye vnto God, yf happly the thought of thy hert maye be forgeue ye.

²⁶ But the angell of the LORDE spake vnto Philippe, and sayde: Aryse, & go towarde the South, vnto the waye that goeth downe from Ierusalem vnto Gaza, which is deserte.

³⁵ Philippe opened his mouth, and beganne at this scripture, and preached him the Gospell of Iesus.

² and desyred of him letters to Damascon vnto the synagoges, that yf he foude eny of this waye (whether they were men or wemen) he mighte brynge the bounde vnto Ierusalem.

⁵ He sayde: LORDE, who art thou? The LORDE sayde: I am Iesus, who thou persecutest. It shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst the prycke.

²⁰ And straight waye he preached Christ in the synagoges, how that he was ye sonne of God.

²³ And after many dayes the Iewes helde a councell together to kyll him.

³¹ So the congregacions had rest thorow out all Iewry, and Galile, and Samaria, & were edified, and walked in the feare of the LORDE, and were fylled with the comforte of the holy goost.

³³ There founde he a man named Eneas, which had lyen vpon his bedd eight yeares sicke of ye palsye.

³⁵ And all they that dwelt at Lydda and at Sarona, sawe him, and turned vnto the LORDE.

⁴⁰ And wha Peter had put them all forth, he kneled downe, made his prayer, and turned him vnto the body, and sayde: Tabitha, ryse vp. And she opened hir eyes: and whan she sawe Peter she sat hir downe agayne.

⁴² And it was knowne thorow out all Ioppa, & many beleued on ye LORDE.

¹⁷ For as moch then as God hath geuen them like giftes, as vnto vs, which beleue on the LORDE Iesus Christ, who was I, that I shulde be able to withstode God? ¹⁸ Whan they herde this, they helde their peace, and praysed God, and sayde: Then hath God also to the Heithen graunted repentaunce vnto life.

And he sayde vnto him: Cast thy mantle aboute the, and folowe me. ⁹ And he wente out, and folowed him, and wyst not, that it was trueth that was done by ye angell, but thoughte he had sene a vision. ¹⁰ Neuertheles they wente thorow the first and seconde watch, and came to the yron gate, that ledeth vnto the cite, which opened to the by his awne acorde. And they wente out, and passed thorow one strete, and immediatly the angell departed from him. ¹¹ And whan Peter was come to himself, he sayde: Now I knowe of a trueth, that ye LORDE hath sent his angell, and delyuered me out of the honde of Herode, and from all the waytinge for of the people of the Iewes.

¹⁸ Whan it was daye, there was not a litle a doo amoge the soudyers, what was become of Peter. ¹⁹ Whan Herode had called for him, and founde him not, he caused the kepers to be examyned, and commaunded the to be caried awaye, and he wente downe fro Iewry vnto Cesarea, and there abode.

¹¹ And now beholde, the hade of the LORDE commeth vpon the, and thou shalt be blynde, and not se the Sonne for a season, And immediatly there fell on him a myst and darknesse, and he wente aboute, and soughte them that shulde lede him by the hande.

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore ye men and brethre, yt thorow this man is preached vnto you ye forgeuenesse of synnes, ³⁹ and fro all ye thinges, wherby ye mighte not be iustifyed in the lawe of Moses.

⁴⁵ But whan the Iewes sawe the people, they were full of indignacion, and spake agaynst that which was spoken of Paul, speakinge agaynst it, & blasphemynge.

³ So they had their beynge there a loge season, and quyte them selues boldly in the LORDE, which gaue testimony vnto the worde of his grace, and caused tokens and wonders to be done by their handes.

⁸ And amonge them of Lystra, there was a man, which sat beynge impotent of his fete, and was crepell fro his mothers wombe, and had neuer walked, ⁹ the same herde Paul speake.

²⁰ He sayde: The Iewes are agreed together, to desyre the, to let Paul be broughte forth tomorow before the councell, as though they wolde yet heare him better. ²¹ But folowe not thou their myndes, for there laye wayte for him mo then fortye men off them, which haue bounde them selues with a vowe, nether to eate ner drynke, tyll they haue slayne Paul: and euen now are they redye, and loke for thy promes. ²² Then the vpper captayne let the yonge man departe, and charged him to tell noman, that he had shewed him this.

²³ For this night stode by me the angell off God (whose I am, & who I serue)

¹⁵ Wherfore (as moch as i me is) I am ready to preach the Gospell vnto you at Rome also. ¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ: for it is the power of God, which saueth all that beleue theron, the Iewe first & also the Greke:

²¹ Now teachest thou other, and teachest not thy selfe. Thou preachest that a man shulde not steale, and thou stealest. ²² Thou sayest, that a man shulde not breake wedlocke, and thou breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest ymages, and robbest God of his honoure.

¹⁹ But we knowe, yt, what soeuer the lawe sayeth, it sayeth it vnto them which are vnder the lawe, yt euery mouthe maye be stopped, & yt all the worlde maye be detter vnto God,

³ Not onely yt, but we reioyse also i troubles, for so moch as we knowe, yt trouble bryngeth paciece,

¹⁵ But how shal they preach, excepte they be sent? As it is wrytte: How beutyfull are the fete of the yt preach peace, yt brynge good tidinges?

²⁶ and so all Israel shalbe saued. As it is wrytten: There shal come out of Sion he that doth delyuer, and shal turne awaye vngodlynes from Iacob. ²⁷ And this is my couenaut with them, wha I shal take awaye their synnes.

¹⁹ thorow the power of tokens and wonders, and thorow the power of the sprete of God, so that from Ierusale, and roude aboute vnto Illyricon, I haue fylled all with the Gospell of Christ.

²⁵ For the foolishnes of God is wyser then men: and the weaknes of God is stroger the men. ²⁶ Brethren loke on youre callinge, how that not many wyseme after the flesh, not many mightie, not many of hye degre are called: ²⁷ but that foolish is before the worlde, hath God chosen, that he mighte cofounde the wyse: And that weake is before ye worlde, hath God chosen, yt he mighte confounde the mightye. ²⁸ And the vyle and despysed before the worlde hath God chosen, yee and that which is nothinge, that he mighte destroye that which is oughte,

² For I shewed not forth my selfe amonge you that I knewe eny thinge, saue onely Iesus Christ, euen the sam thate was crucified.

¹⁹ For the wyssdome off this worlde is foolishnes with God. For it is wrytten: He compaseth the wyse in their craftynesse.

²¹ What wil ye? Shal I come vnto you wt the rodd, or with loue and the sprete of mekenesse?

⁸ Neuertheles meate furthureth not vs vnto God. Yf we eate, we shal not therfore be the better: yf we eate not, we shal not therfore be the lesse.

⁵ Haue we not power also to leade aboute a sister to wife, as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the LORDE, and Cephas? ⁶ Or haue onely I and Barnabas not power this to do? ⁷ Who goeth a warfare at eny tyme vpon his awne wages? Who planteth a vynyarde, and eateth not of the frute therof? Who fedeth a flocke, and eateth not of the mylke of the flocke? ⁸ Saye I these thinges after the maner of men? Sayeth not the lawe the same also? ⁹ For it is wrytten in the lawe off Moses: Thou shalt not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doth God take thought for the oxen? ¹⁰ Or sayeth he it not alltogether for oure sakes? For no doute it is wrytte for oure sakes. For he that eareth, shulde eare vpon hope: and he yt throssheth, shulde trosshe vpon hope, yt he mighte be partaker of his hope. ¹¹ Yf we haue sowne vnto you spiritual thinges, is it a greate thige yf we reape yor bodely thiges? ¹² But yf other be partakers of this power on you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuertheles we haue not vsed this power, but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hynder the Gospell off Christ. ¹³ Knowe ye not that they which laboure in the temple, haue their lyuynge of ye temple: and they that wayte at the altare, enioye the altare? ¹⁴ Euen thus also hath ye LORDE ordeyned, that they which preach the Gospell, shulde lyue of ye Gospell. ¹⁵ But I haue vsed none of these thinges. Nether wryte I therof, that it shulde be done so vnto me: for I had rather dye, the that eny man shulde brynge my reioysinge to naughte. ¹⁶ For in that I preach the Gospell, I neade not boost my selfe, for I must nedes do it. And wo vnto me, yff I preach not the Gospell. ¹⁷ Yf I do it with a good wyll, I shall haue my rewarde: but yff I do it agaynst my wyll, yet is the office commytted vnto me.

⁹ Nether let vs tempte Christ, as some of them tempted him, and were destroyed of serpetes.

¹¹ All these thinges happened vnto the for ensamples, but they are wrytte to warne vs, vpon whom the ende of ye worlde is come. ¹² Therfore let him that thinketh he stondeth, take hede, lest he fall.

²² Or wyl we prouoke the LORDE? I maye do all thinges, but all thinges are not profitable.

¹¹ Neuertheles nether is the man without ye woman, nether the woman without the ma in the LORDE. ¹² For as the woman is of the man, euen so commeth the man also by the woman, but all of God.

⁹ to another, faith in the same sprete: to another, the giftes of healinge in the same sprete:

¹⁰ But loke vnto who ye forgeue eny thinge, I forgeue hi also. For I also, yf I forgeue ought vnto eny ma, that forgeue I for youre sakes in the rowme of Christ,

¹¹ Beholde, where as ye haue had godly sorowe, what diligence hath it wrought in you? Yee a sufficiet answere, displeasure, feare, desyre, a feruet mynde, punyshment. For in all poyntes ye haue shewed youre selues, that ye are cleare in that matter.

² I beseke you that I nede not be bolde whan I am present, & to vse yt boldnesse wherwith I am supposed to be bolde, agaynst some, which repute vs as though we walked after ye flesh: ³ for though we walke in the flesh, yet fighte we not after a fleshly maner. ⁴ For the wapens of oure warre are not fleshly, but mightie before God to cast downe stroge holdes, ⁵ wherwith we ouerthrowe ymaginacions, & euery hye thinge yt exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowlege of God, and brynge in to captiuyte all vnderstondinge to the obedience of Christ, ⁶ & are ready to take vengeaunce on all disobedience, whan youre obediece is fulfylled.

²³ They are the mynisters of Christ (I speake as a fole) I am more: in laboures more abudaunt, in strypes aboue measure, in presonmentes more plenteously, in death oft. ²⁴ Of the Iewes receaued I fyue tymes fortye strypes, one lesse.

¹⁰ Therfore am I contente in infirmities, in rebukes, in necessities, in persecucions, in anguysshes for Christes sake: for wha I am weake, the am I stroge.

¹² yet are ye tokens of an Apostle wrought amoge you, with all paciece, with signes, & with woders & with mightie dedes.

¹ Now come I the thirde tyme vnto you. In the mouth of two or thre witnesses shal euery matter be stablisshed. ² I haue tolde you before, & tell you before as present ye seconde tyme, & wryte it now beynge absent, vnto the which in tyme passed haue synned, & to all other: & yf I come agayne, I wil not spare,

¹⁰ Therfore wryte I these thinges beynge absent, lest wha I am present, I shulde vse sharpnesse, acordinge to the power which the LORDE hath geue me to edifye, and not to destroye.

⁶ As for the that semed to be greate, what they were in tyme passed, it maketh no matter to me. For God loketh not on the outwarde appearaunce of men. Neuertheles they which semed greate, taught me nothinge:

¹³ But Christ hath delyuered vs from ye curse of the lawe, whan he became a curse for vs. (For it is wrytte: Cursed is euery man that hangeth on tre)

²⁸ Here is nether Iewe ner Greke: here is nether bode ner fre: here is nether man ner woman, for ye are all one in Christ Iesu.

²¹ envyenge, murthur, dronkennes, glotony, and soch like: of the which I tell you before, as I haue tolde you in tyme past, that they which commytte soch, shal not inheret the kyngdome of God.

³ But yf eny man thinke himselfe to be somwhat (whan in dede he is nothinge) the same disceaueth himselfe.

¹⁴ But God forbyd that I shulde reioyse, saue onely in the crosse of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, wherby the worlde is crucified vnto me, and I vnto the worlde.

⁷ in whom we haue redempcion thorow his bloude (namely) the forgeuenes of synnes, acordynge to ye riches of his grace,

²⁰ which he wroughte in Christ, whan he raysed him vp fro the deed, and set him on his righte hade i heauely thinges, ²¹ aboue all rule, power, and mighte, and dominacio, and aboue all that maye be named, not onely in this worlde, but also in ye worlde to come. ²² And hath put all thinges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heade of the cogregacion, ²³ which is his body, and the fulnesse of him that fylleth all in all.

²⁰ But ye haue not so learned Christ, ²¹ yf so be that ye haue herde of him, & are taught in him, euen as the trueth is in Iesu.

¹¹ put on the armor of God, that ye maye stonde stedfast agaynst the craftie assautes off the deuell. ¹² For we wrestle not agaynst flesh and bloude, but agaynst rule, agaynst power namely, agaynst the rulers of the worlde, of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst ye spretes of wickednes vnder the heauen. ¹³ For this cause take ye the armoure of God, yt ye maye be able to resiste in the euell daye, and stonde perfecte in all thinges. ¹⁴ Stonde therfore, and youre loynes gyrde aboute with the trueth, hauynge on the brest plate of righteousnes, ¹⁵ and shod vpo yor fete with the gospell of peace, that ye maye be prepared: ¹⁶ Aboue all thinges take holde of the shylde of faith, wherwith ye maye quenche all the fyrie dartes of the wicked.

²⁹ For vnto you it is geuen, not onely that ye shulde beleue on Christ, but also suffre for his sake,

³ that there be nothinge done thorow stryfe and vayne glory, but that thorow mekenesse of mynde euery man esteme another better then himselfe:

⁹ Therfore hath God also exalted him, and geuen him a name, which is aboue all names, ¹⁰ that in the name of Iesus euery kne shulde bowe, both of thinges in heauen of thinges vpo earth, and of thinges vnder the earth, ¹¹ and that all tunges shulde confesse, that Iesus Christ is the LORDE vnto the prayse of God the father. ¹² Wherfore my dearly beloued, as ye haue allwayes obeyed (not onely in my presence, but now also moch more in my absence) euen so worke out youre awne saluacion with feare and tremblynge.

²⁰ But oure conuersacion is in heauen, from whence we loke for the Sauioure Iesu Christ ye LORDE,

¹⁴ ( in whom we haue redempcion thorow his bloude, namely, the forgeuenes of synnes.)

¹⁵ Which as they put the LORDE Iesus to death, and their awne prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs also, and please not God, and are cotrary to all men, ¹⁶ forbyddinge vs to speake vnto the Heythen that they mighte be saued, to fulfill their synnes allwaye: for the wrath is come vpon them allready vnto ye vttemost.

⁸ He therfore that despyseth, despyseth not man, but God, which hath geuen his holy sprete in to you.

³ Let noman disceaue you by eny meanes. For the LORDE commeth not, excepte the departynge come first, and that that Man of synne be opened, euen the sonne of perdicion, ⁴ which is an aduersary, and is exalted aboue all yt is called God or Gods seruyce, so that he sytteth as God in the temple of God, and boasteth himselfe to be God. ⁵ Remembre ye not, that whan I was yet with you, I tolde you these thinges? ⁶ And now ye knowe what witholdeth it, eue that it mighte be vttered at his tyme. ⁷ (For the mystery of the iniquyte worketh allready, tyll he which now onely letteth, be take out of the waye.)

¹⁰ For Couetousnes is the rote of all euell, which whyle some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled them selues with many sorowes.

²⁰ Not withstondynge in a greate house are not onely vessels of golde and of syluer, but also of wod and of earth: some for honoure, and some to dishonoure.

²⁵ the euell, one yt can with mekenesse enfourme them yt resist: yf God at eny tyme wyl geue them repentaunce for to knowe the trueth, ²⁶ and to turne agayne from the snare of the deuell, which are holden in preson of him at his will.

² Preach thou the worde, be feruent, be it in season or out of season: Improue, rebuke, exhorte with all longe sufferynge and doctryne.

⁴ Vnto Titus my naturall sonne after ye comen faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father, and fro the LORDE Iesu Christ oure Sauioure.

¹⁰ nether to be pykers, but to shewe all good faithfulnes, that in all thinges they maye do worshippe vnto the doctryne off God oure Sauioure.

¹³ lokynge for that blessed hope and appearynge of the glory of ye greate God and of oure Sauioure Iesu Christ:

⁴ But after that ye kyndnesse and loue of God oure Sauioure to man warde appeared, ⁵ not for ye dedes of righteousnes which we wroughte, but after his mercy he saued vs by the fountayne of the new byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shed on vs abundauntly, thorow Iesus Christ oure Sauioure:

¹⁴ Neuertheles without thy mynde wolde I do nothinge, that ye good which thou doest, shulde not be of compulsion, but wyllingly.

³ how shal we escape, yf we despyse so greate a saluacion: which after that it beganne to be preached by the LORDE himselfe, was confirmed vpon vs, by them that herde it, ⁴ God bearynge witnesse therto, with tokens, wonders and dyuerse powers, and giftes of the holy goost acordinge to his awne wyll.

⁴ God bearynge witnesse therto, with tokens, wonders and dyuerse powers, and giftes of the holy goost acordinge to his awne wyll.

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all thinges, and by who are all thinges (after yt he had broughte many children vnto glory) that he shulde make the LORDE of their saluacion perfecte thorow sufferynge,

¹ Let vs feare therfore, lest eny of vs forsakynge the promes of entrynge in to his rest, shulde seme to come behinde:

³⁴ For ye haue suffred with my bodes, and toke a worth ye spoylinge of youre goodes, and that with gladnes, knowynge in youre selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduringe substaunce.

⁷ By faith Noe honoured God, after yt he was warned of thinges which were not sene, & prepared the Arke, to ye sauinge of his housholde: thorow the which Arke he condemned the worlde, and became heyre of the righteousnes, which commeth by faith.

³⁶ Other taisted of mockinges and scourginges, of bondes also and presonment:

² lokynge vnto Iesus ye auctor and fynissher of faith: which whan the ioye was layed before him, abode the crosse, and despysed the shame, and is set downe on ye righte hade of ye trone of God.

¹⁵ ad loke well, that no ma be destitute of the grace of God, lest there sprynge vp eny bytter rote, and cause disquyetnes, and therby many be defyled:

²⁸ Wherfore, seynge we receaue the vnmoueable kyngdome, we haue grace, wherby we maye serue God, & please him, with reuerence and godly feare.

² My brethren, counte it exceadynge ioye whe ye fall in to diuers temptacions,

¹⁵ The whe lust hath conceaued, she bringeth forth synne, & synne when it is fynished, bringeth forth deeth.

¹⁴ But yf ye haue bitter enuyenge and stryfe in yor hertes, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth. ¹⁵ This wissdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, and naturall, and dyuelishe. ¹⁶ For where enuyenge and stryfe is, there is vnstablenes and all maner of euell workes.

⁵ Ether do ye thinke yt the scripture sayth in vayne. The sprete yt dwelleth in you, lusteth euen contrary to enuie:

⁷ Submit youre selues to God, and resist the deuell, & he wil flye fro you.

¹⁶ Knowlege youre fautes one to another: and praye one for another, that ye maye be healed. The prayer of a righteous man auayleth moche, yf it be feruet.

¹² Vnto the which (prophetes) it was declared, that not vnto them selues, but vnto vs they shulde mynister the thinges which are now shewed vnto you, by them which thorow ye holy goost sent downe from heauen, haue preached vnto you the thinges which the angels delyte to beholde.

¹⁷ And yf so be that ye call on the father, which without respecte of personnes iudgeth acordynge to euery mans worke, se yt ye passe ye tyme of youre pilgremage in feare:

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle, and ypocrisye, and envye, and all bacbytinge,

²⁴ which his owne selfe bare oure synnes in his body vpon the tre, that we shulde be delyuered from synne, & shulde lyue vnto righteousnes: by whose strypes ye were healed.

²² which is on the righte hande of God, and is gone in to heaue, angels, power and mighte subdued vnto him.

¹³ but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers of Christes passios, yt wha his glory appeareth, ye maye be mery & glad. ¹⁴ Yf ye be reuyled for ye name of Christ, blessed are ye, for ye sprete (which is ye sprete of glory & of God) resteth vpon you. On their parte he is euell spoken of, but on yor parte he is praysed. ¹⁵ But se that none of you suffre as a murthurer, or as a thefe, or as an euell doer, or as a busy body in other mens matters. ¹⁶ Yf eny man suffre as a Christen man, let him not be ashamed, but let him prayse God on this behalfe.

⁸ Be sober and watch, for yor aduersary ye deuell, walketh aboute as a roaringe lyon, sekynge whom he maye deuoure,

¹ Symon Peter a seruaut and an Apostle of Iesus Christ.Vnto the which haue optayned like faith with vs in the righteousnes that commeth of oure God, and Sauioure Iesus Christ.

¹¹ and by this meanes shal there be plenteously mynistred vnto you an entrynge in vnto ye euerlastinge kyngdome of oure LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ.

² and many shal folowe their damnable wayes, by who the waye of the trueth shal be euell spoke of:

¹⁴ hauynge eyes full of aduoutrye, and ca not ceasse from synne, entysinge vnstable soules: hauynge an hert exercysed wt couetousnes: they are cursed children, ¹⁵ and haue forsaken the righte waye, and are gone astraye: folowinge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnrighteousnes:

¹⁸ For they speake ye proude wordes of vanite, vnto ye vttemost, and entyse thorow wantannes vnto ye luste of the flesh, euen them that were cleane escaped, and now walke in erroure:

²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde, thorow the knowlege of ye LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ) are yet tangled agayne therin and ouercome, then is the latter ende worse vnto them then the begynnynge.

²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde, thorow the knowlege of ye LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ) are yet tangled agayne therin and ouercome, then is the latter ende worse vnto them then the begynnynge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of righteousnes, then after they haue knowne it, to turne from the holy commaundemet, that was geuen vnto them. ²² It is happened vnto them acordynge vnto the true prouerbe: ye dogg is turned to his vomyte agayne: and ye sowe that was wasshed, vnto hir walowynge in the myre.

¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowlege of oure LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ. To him be prayse now and for euer, Amen.

¹ That which was from ye begynnynge, which we haue herde, which we haue sene with or eyes, which we haue loked vpon, and or handes haue handled of the worde of life: ² and the life hath appeared, and we haue sene, and beare wytnes, and shewe vnto you ye life that is euerlastinge, which was with the father, and hath apeared vnto vs. ³ That which we haue sene & herde, declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue fellishippe with vs, and that oure fellishippe maye be with the father and with his sonne Iesus Christ.

¹⁴ And we haue sene, & testifye that the father sent the sonne to be the Sauioure of the worlde.

¹¹ And this is that recorde, euen yt God hath geue vs euerlastinge life. And this life is in his sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne of God, hath life: He that hath not the sonne of God, hath not life.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complaners, walkynge after their awne lustes, whose mouthes speake proude thynges. They haue me in greate reuerence because of avauntage.

²⁵ yt is to saye, to God oure saueoure which only is wyse, be glory, maiestie, dominion, & power, now and for euer. Amen.

⁵ and from Iesus Christ which is a faithfull witnes, and first begotten of the deed: & LORDE ouer ye kinges of the earth. Vnto him that loued vs and wesshed vs fro synnes in his awne bloud,

¹⁰ Feare none of tho thinges which thou shalt soffre. Beholde, ye deuell shal cast of you in to preson, to tempte you, and ye shal haue tribulacion x. dayes. Be faithfull vnto the deeth, and I wil geue ye a crowne of life.

⁵ And if eny man wil hurt them, fyre shal procede out of their mouthes, and consume their enemyes. And yf eny ma wil hurt the, this wyse muste he be kylled.

¹³ And the same houre was there a greate earthquake, & the tenth parte of the cite fell, and in the earthquake were slayne names of men seuen M. and the remnaunt were feared, and gaue glory to God of heauen.

⁹ And the greate dragon that olde serpent (called the deuell and Sathanas) was cast out. Which disceaued all the worlde. And he was cast in to the earth, and his angelles were cast out with him also. ¹⁰ And I harde a lowde voyce, which sayde in heauen: Now is saluacion, and strength and the kyngdome become oure Gods, and ye power his Christes: For he is cast downe, which accused them before God daye and night. ¹¹ And they ouercame him by the bloude of the lambe, and by the worde of their testimony, and they loued not their lyues vnto the deeth.

⁸ And there folowed another angell, sayenge: She is fallen, she is fallen: eue Babilon that greate cite, for she made all nacions drynke off the wyne off hyr whordome. ⁹ And the thyrde angel folowed the, sayenge with a loude voyce: Yf eny man worshippe the beest and his ymage, and receaue his marke in his forhed, or on his honde, ¹⁰ the same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God, which is powred in the cuppe of his wrath. And he shalbe punysshed in fyre and brymstone, before the holy Angels, and before the lambe. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascendeth vp euermore. And they haue no rest daye ner nyght, which worshippe the beast and his ymage, and whosoeuer receaueth the prynt of his name. ¹² Here is the pacience of sayntes. Heare are they that kepe the commaundementes and the faith off Iesu.

⁴ Who shal not feare the O LORDE and gloryfie thy name? For thou only art holy, for all getiles shall come and worshippe before the, for thy iudgmentes are made manyfest.

³ And he caryed me awaye into the wildernes in ye sprete. And I sawe a woman syt vpon a rose colored beest, full of names of blasphemie, which had seue heades & ten hornes.

⁵ And in her forhed was a name wrytte, a mistery; greate Babilon the mother of whordome, and abominacios of the earth.

¹² And ye ten hornes which thou sawest, are ten kynges, which haue not yet receaued the kyngdome, but shal receaue power as kynges at one houre with ye beest. ¹³ These haue one mynde, and shal geue their power and stregth vnto ye beeste. ¹⁴ These shal fyght with the lambe, and the labe shal ouercome them: For he is LORDE of all lordes, and kinge of all kinges: and they that are on his syde, are called, and chosen and faithfull.
