¹ In the euenynge came the two angels vnto Sodome. And Lot sat vnder the gate of the cite. And whe he sawe them, he rose vp for to mete them, and bowed him self downe to the grounde vpon his face, ² & sayde: Se lordes, turne in (I praye you) in to youre seruauntes house, and tarye all night: let youre fete be wasshen, so maye ye ryse tomorow by tymes, and go youre waye. Neuertheles they sayde: Nay, but we wyll byde in the stretes all night. ³ Then compelled he them sore: and they turned in vnto him, and came in to his house. And he made them a feast, and baked swete cakes, and they ate. ⁴ But before they wente to rest, the men of the cite of Sodome came and compased the house rounde aboute, yonge and olde, all the people from all quarters, ⁵ and called Lot, and sayde vnto him: Where are the me that came vnto the to night?

Onely do nothinge vnto these men of God, for therfore are they come vnder the shadowe of my rofe. ⁹ But they sayde: Come thou hither. Then sayde they: Camest not thou onely herin as a straunger, and wilt thou now be a iudge? Wel, we will deale worse with the the with them.And they pressed sore vpon ye man Lot. And whan they ranne to, and wolde haue broken vp the dore, ¹⁰ the men put out their hondes, and pulled Lot vnto them in to the house, and shut to the dore. ¹¹ And the men at ye dore of the house were smytte with blyndnesse both small and greate, so that they coude not fynde the dore. ¹² And ye men saide vnto Lot: Hast thou yet here eny sonne in lawe, or sonnes or doughters? Who so euer belongeth vnto the in the cite, brynge him out of this place: ¹³ for we must destroye this place, because the crye of them is greate before the LORDE, which hath sent vs to destroye them. ¹⁴ Then wente Lot forth, and spake to his sonnes in lawe, which shulde haue maried his doughters, and sayde: O stonde vp, and get you out of this place, for the LORDE wyll destroye this cite. Neuertheles they toke it but for a sporte. ¹⁵ Now whan the mornynge arose, the angels caused Lot to spede him, and sayde: Stonde vp, take thy wife & thy two doughters which are at hande, that thou also perishe not in the synne of this cite. ¹⁶ But whyle he prolonged the tyme, the men caught him and his wife, and his two doughters by the hande (because the LORDE was mercifull vnto him,) and brought him forth, & set him without the cite. ¹⁷ And whe they had brought him out, they sayde: Saue thy soule, and loke not behynde the, nether stonde thou in all this countre: Saue thy self vpon the mountayne, that thou perish not. ¹⁸ Then sayde Lot vnto the: Oh no my LORDE, ¹⁹ beholde, in as moch as thy seruaut hath founde grace in thy sight, now make ye mercy greate, which thou hast shewed vnto me, in that thou sauest my soule alyue. I can not saue my self vpon the mountayne. There might some mysfortune fall vpon me, that I shulde dye. ²⁰ Beholde, here is a cite by, that I maye flye vnto, and it is a litle one: let me saue myself there in. Is it not a litle one, that my soule maye lyue? ²¹ Then sayde he vnto him: Beholde, I haue loked vpon the in this poynte also, that I will not ouerthrowe the cite, wherof thou hast spoken. ²² Haist the, and saue thy self there: for I can do nothinge tyll thou be come thither.

And beholde, there rose vp a smoke from ye countre, as it had bene ye smoke of a fornace. ²⁹ For whan God destroyed ye cities of the region, he thought vpon Abraham, and conueyed Lot out of the cities which he ouerthrew, wherin Lot dwelt. ³⁰ And Lot departed out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountaynes with both his daughters (for he was afrayed to tary at Zoar) and so remayned he in a caue wt both his daughters. ³¹ Then sayde ye elder vnto the yonger: Oure father is olde, and there is not a man more vpon earth, that can come in vnto vs after the maner of all the worlde. ³² Come therfore, let vs geue oure father wyne to drynke, and lye with him, that we maye saue sede of oure father. ³³ So they gaue their father wyne to drynke that same night. And the elder doughter wente in, and laye with hir father: and he perceaued it not, nether when she laye downe, ner when she rose vp. ³⁴ On the morow the elder sayde vnto the yonger: Beholde, yesternight laye I with my father: let vs geue him wyne to drynke this night also: that thou mayest go in and lye with him, that we maye saue sede of oure father. ³⁵ So they gaue their father wyne to drynke that night also: And the yonger arose like wyse, and laye with him: & he perceaued it not, nether when she laye downe, ner when she rose vp. ³⁶ Thus were both the doughters of Lot with childe by their father. ³⁷ And the elder bare a sonne, and called him Moab, of whom come ye Moabytes vnto this daye. ³⁸ And ye yonger bare a sonne also, and called him the sonne Ammi, of whom come the children of Ammon vnto this daye.

¹ Pavl the seruaunte of Iesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, put aparte to preach the Gospell of God ² (which he promysed a fore by his prophetes in ye holy scriptures) ³ off his sonne, which was begotte of ye sede of Dauid after the flesh: ⁴ and mightely declared to be the sonne of God after the sprete which sanctifieth, sence the tyme that he rose agayne from the deed, namely, Iesus Christ oure LORDE, ⁵ by whom we haue receaued grace and Apostelshippe amonge all Heythen, to set vp the obedience of faith vnder his name, ⁶ of whom ye are a parte also, which are called of Iesus Christ. ⁷ To all you that be at Rome, beloued of God, and sayntes by callynge Grace be wt you and peace fro God oure father, and the LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁸ First, I thanke my God thorow Iesus Christ for you all, that youre faith is spoken of thorow out all the worlde. ⁹ For God is my witnesse ( whom I serue in my sprete in the Gospell of his sonne) that without ceassynge I make mencion of you besekinge allwayes in my prayers, ¹⁰ that I mighte once haue a prosperous iourney ( by the will off God) to come vnto you. ¹¹ For I longe to se you, that I mighte bestowe vpon you some spirituall gifte to stregth you ¹² (that is)that I mighte be conforted with you, thorow yor faith & myne, which we haue together. ¹³ But I wolde ye shulde knowe (brethren) how that I haue often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hither to) that I mighte do some good amonge you, like as amonge other Gentyles. ¹⁴ I am detter both to the Grekes, and to the vngrekes, to the wyse and to the vnwyse. 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: ¹⁷ for in it ye righteousnes that is of value before God, is opened, which cometh out of faith i to faith. ¹⁸ As it is wrytte: The iust shal lyue by his faith. For ye wrath of God is declared from heauen vpon all vngodlynes and vnrighteousnes of me,which witholde the trueth of God in vnrighteousnes: ¹⁹ because that it, which maye be knowne of God, is manifest with the. For God hath shewed it vnto the, ²⁰ that the inuisible thinges of God (that is, his euerlastinge power and Godheade) mighte be sene whyle they are considered by the workes from the creacion of the worlde: so that they are without excuse, ²¹ in as moch as they knewe, that there is a God, and haue not praysed him as God ner thanked him, but became vayne in their ymaginacions, and their foolish hert was blynded. ²² Whan they counted them selues wyse, they became fooles: ²³ and turned ye glory of the incorruptible God in to ye symilitude of ye ymage of a corruptible ma, & of byrdes, & of foure foted, & of crepinge beestes ²⁴ Wherfore God likewyse gaue them vp vnto their hertes lustes in to vnclennes, to defyle their awne bodies in them selues, ²⁵ which turned the trueth of God vnto a lye, & worshipped and serued the creature more then the maker, which is blessed for euer.

Is there vtterly no wyse man amoge you? What not one at all, that can iudge betwene brother & brother? ⁶ but one brother goeth to lawe with another, and that before the vnbeleuers? ⁷ Now therfore is there vtterly a faute amoge you, that ye go to lawe one with another.

I maye do all thinges, but I wil be broughte vnder no mas power. ¹³ Meates are ordeyned for ye bely, & the bely for meates. But God shal destroye both it and them. The body belongeth not vnto whordome, but vnto the LORDE, and the LORDE vnto the body ¹⁴ God hath raysed vp the LORDE, and shal rayse vs vp also by his power. ¹⁵ Knowe ye not that youre bodies are the mebres of Christ?
