² Heare o heauen, herken o earth, for the LORDE speaketh: I haue norished & brought vp children, and they are fallen awaye fro me. ³ An oxe knoweth his LORDE, and an Asse his masters stall, but Israel knoweth nothinge, my people hath no vnderstondinge. ⁴ Alas for this synful people, which are experte in blasphemies, a frawerde generacion, vnnatural children.

I will make the pompe off the proude to ceasse, ad they shal take in their Sanctuary.

¹³ And yet the house of Israel rebelled agaynst me in the wildernesse, they wolde not walke in my commaundementes, they haue cast awaye my lawes: (which whoso kepeth shulde lyue in them,) and my Sabbath daies haue thy greatly vnhalowed.
