¹ Ther is then no damnacyon to them whych are in Chryst Iesu, whych walke not after the flesshe, but after the sprete. ² For the lawe of the sprete of lyfe thorow Iesus Christ, hath made me fre from the lawe of synne, and deeth. ³ For what the lawe could not do (in as moch as it was weake because of the flesshe) that performed God, and sent hys sonne in the similitude of synfull flesshe, ⁴ and by synne dampned synne in the flesshe: that the ryghtewesnes of the lawe, myght be fulfylled in vs, which walke not after the flesshe, but after the sprete. ⁵ For they that are carnall, are carnally mynded. But they that are spirytuall, are gostly mynded. ⁶ To be carnally mynded, is deeth. But to be spiritually mynded, is lyfe and peace. ⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is enemyte agaynst God: for it is not obedyent to the lawe of God, nether can be. ⁸ So then they that are in the flesshe, cannot please God. ⁹ But ye are not in the flesshe, but in the sprete: yf so be that the sprete of God dwell in you. If eny man haue not the spryte of Chryst, the same is none of hys. ¹⁰ If Chryst be in you, the body is deed because of synne: but the spryte is lyfe for ryghtewesnes sake. ¹¹ Wherfore, yf the spryte of hym that raysed vp Iesus from deeth, dwell in you: euen he that raysed vp Chryst from deeth, shall quycken youre mortall bodyes, because of hys sprete that dwelleth in you. ¹² Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the flesshe, ¹³ to lyue after the fleshe. For yf ye lyue after the fleshe, ye shal dye. But yf ye (thorowe the sprete) do mortyfye the dedes of the body, ye shall lyue. ¹⁴ For as many as are led by the sprete of God, ¹⁵ they are the sonnes of God. For ye haue not receaued the sprete of bondage to feare eny mor are, but ye haue receaued the sprete of adopcyon, wherby we crye: Abba father. ¹⁶ The same sprete certyfyeth oure sprete that we are the sonnes of God. ¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym. ¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflyccyons of thys lyfe, are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vpon vs. ¹⁹ For the feruent desyre of the creature abydeth, lokyng, when the sonnes of God shall appere, ²⁰ because the creature is subdued to vanyte, agaynst the wyll therof, but for his will which hath subdued the same in hope. ²¹ For the same creature shalbe delyuered from the bondage of corrupcyon, into the gloryous libertye of the sonnes of God. ²² For we knowe, that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauayleth in payne, euen vnto thys tyme. ²³ Not onely it, but we also which haue the fyrst frutes of the spryte, morne in oure selues also, and wayte for the adopcyon euen the delyueraunce of oure bodye. ²⁴ For we are sauyd by hope. But hope that is sene, is no hope. For how can a man hope for that, which he seyth? ²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we se not, then do we wt pacience abyde for it. ²⁶ Lyke wyse, the sprete also helpeth oure infirmyties. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the sprete maketh intercessyon for vs, with gronynges which cannot be expressed. ²⁷ And he that searcheth the hertes knoweth, what is the meanynge of the spryte: for he maketh intercercessyon for the sayntes according to the pleasure of God. ²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose. ²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren. ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed. ³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs? ³² which spared not hys awne sonne, but gaue him for vs all: how can it be, that with hym he shulde not geue vs all thynges also? ³³ Who shall laye eny thynge to the charge of Goddes chosen; it is God that iustyfyeth: ³⁴ who is he that can condempne? it is Chryst which dyed, yee, rather which is rysen agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercessyon for us. ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs from the loue of God? shall tribulacyon? or angusshe? or persecucyon? other honger? ether nakednesse? ether parell? ether swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: for thy sake are we kylled all daye longe, and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thynges we ouercome thorowe hym that loued vs. ³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come, ³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

¹⁶ Be of lyke affeccion one towardes another. Be not hye mynded: but make youre selues equall to them of the lower sorte. Be not wyse in youre awne opynyons.

³ For the tyme will come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their awne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett them an heepe of teachers,

¹ When thou commest into the house of God, kepe thy fote & draw nye that God which is at hande may heare: that thou gyue not the offeringes of fooles, for they knowe nowght, but to do euell. ² Be not hastye with thy mouth, and let not thine hert speake eny thing rashly before God. For God is in heauen, and thou vpon earth, therfore let thy wordes be few. ³ For where moch carefulnesse is, there are many dreames: and where many wordes are, there men maye heare fooles. ⁴ If thou make a vowe vnto God, be not slacke to perfourme it. As for folysh vowes, he hath no pleasure in them: ⁵ If thou promyse eny thinge, paye it: for better it is that thou make no vowe, then that thou shuldest promyse, and not paye. ⁶ Suffre not thy mouth to cause thy flesh for to synne, nether saye thou before the angell, that it is thy ignoraunce. For then God wilbe angrie at thy voyce, & destroye all the worckes of thyne handes. ⁷ And why? where as are many dreames and many wordes, there are also diuerse vanytes: but loke that thou feare God. ⁸ If thou seyst the poore to be oppressed and wrongeously dealt withall, so that equite & the ryght of the lawe is wrasted in the lande: maruell not thou at soch a thyng, for one greate man kepeth touch with another, & the myghtie men are in auctorite ouer the pore. ⁹ The encrease of the erth vpholdeth all thinge, yea the kynge himselfe is mayntened by husbandrye. ¹⁰ He that loueth money, wyll neuer be satisfyed wt money: & who so deliteth in riches, shal haue no profyt therof. This is also a vayne thinge. ¹¹ Where as moche ryches is, there are many also that spende them awaye. And what pleasure more hath he that possesseth them, sauynge that he maye loke vpon them with his eyes? ¹² A labouringe man slepeth swetely, whether it be lytle or moch that he eateth: but the aboundaunce of the ryche will not suffre him to slepe. ¹³ Yet is there a sore plage, which I haue sene vnder the sunne (namely) ryches kepte to the hurte of him that hath them in possession. ¹⁴ For oft tymes they perysh with his greate misery & trouble: & yf he haue a chylde, it getteth nothynge. ¹⁵ Lyke as he came naked out of hys mothers wombe, so goeth he thither agayne, & carieth nothing awaye with hym of all his laboure. ¹⁶ This is a miserable plage, that he shall go awaye euen as he came. What helpeth it hym then, that he hath laboured in the wynde? ¹⁷ All the dayes of his lyfe also he dyd eate in the darcke, with greate carefulnesse, sycknesse and sorow. ¹⁸ Therfore me thincke it a better & as fayrer thyng, a man to eate and dryncke, and to be refreshed of all hys laboure, that he taketh vnder the Sunne all the dayes of his lyfe which God geueth hym, for this is hys porcyon. ¹⁹ For vnto whomsoeuer God geueth riches goodes and power, he geueth it hym to enioye it, to take it for hys porcyon, and to be refreshed of hys laboure: thys is the gyfte of God. ²⁰ For he thincketh not moch howe longe he shall lyue, for so moch as God fylleth his herte with gladnesse.

¹ Then spake Iesus to the people, and to his disciples, ² saying: The Scribes and the Pharises syt in Moses seate. ³ All therfore whatsoeuer they byd you obserue, that obserue and do: but do not ye after theyr workes: ⁴ for they saye, and do not. Yee, they bynde together heuy burthens and greuous to be borne, & laye them on mennes shoulders: but they them selues wyll not heaue at them with one of their fyngers. ⁵ All theyr worckes do they for the intent, that they maye be sene of men. They set abroade their philateries, & make large the borders of their garmentes, ⁶ & loue the vppermoste seates at feastes, & to sytt in the chefe place in councels, ⁷ & gretynges in the markett, and to be called of men, Rabbi. ⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi. For one is youre master, euen Chryst, and all ye are brethren. ⁹ And call no man youre father vpon the erth, for one is your father which is in heauen ¹⁰ Nether be ye called masters, for one is youre master, euen Chryst. ¹¹ He that is greatest amonge you, shalbe youre seruaunt. ¹² But whosoeuer exalteth him selfe? shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted. ¹³ Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites, for ye shutt vp the kyngdome of heauen before men ye nether go in your selues, nether suffre ye them that come, to enter in. ¹⁴ Wo vnto you Scribes, & pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye deuoure wyddowes houses: and that vnder a pretence of longe prayer: therfore shall ye be the sorer punysshed. ¹⁵ Wo be vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes: for ye compasse see and lande, to make one proselyte: & when he is become one, ye make hym two folde moare the chylde of hell, then ye youre selues are. ¹⁶ Wo be vnto you ye blynde gydes, ffor ye saye: whosoeuer doth sweare by the temple: it is nothynge: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is gyltye. ¹⁷ Ye fooles & blinde: For whether is greater: the gold, or the temple that sanctifyeth the gold? ¹⁸ And whosoeuer sweareth by the aultre, it is nothinge, but whosoeuer sweareth by the gyft that is vpon it, he is giltye, ¹⁹ ye foles & blynd for whether is greater? the gyft: or the altare that sanctifieth the gyft? ²⁰ Whoso therfore sweareth by the aultre, sweareth by it, and by all thinges that are there on. ²¹ And whoso sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, & by hym that dwelleth therin. ²² And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by hym that sytteth theron. ²³ Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites: For ye tyth mynt, and anyse, & commyn, & haue leaft the wayghtier matters of the lawe: iudgement, mercy, & fayth. These ought ye to haue done, & not to leaue the other vndone. ²⁴ ye blynde gydes, which strayne out agnat, & swalowe a Camell. ²⁵ Wo vnto you Scrybes and pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter syde of the cuppe, & of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse. ²⁶ Thou blynde Pharise, clense fyrst that whych is wt in the cup & platter, that the outesyde of them maye be cleane also. ²⁷ Wo vnto you Scrybes & pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye are lyke vnto painted sepulcres which in dede appeare beautifull outwarde but are wythin full of deed mens bones & of all fylthynes. ²⁸ Euen so ye also, outwardlye appere ryghteous vnto men: But wythin, ye are full of faynednesse and iniquyte. ²⁹ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharises, ye ypocrites: ye buylde the tombes of the Prophetes, and garnysihe the sepulchres of the ryghteous, ³⁰ & saye: yf we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we wolde not haue bene parteners wyth them in the bloude of the Prophetes. ³¹ And so ye be wytnesses vnto youre selues, that ye are the chyldren of them whych kylled the prophetes. ³² Fulfyll ye lykewyse the measure of your fathers. ³³ Ye serpentes, ye generacion of vypers, how wyll ye scape the damnacyon of hell? ³⁴ Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you Prophetes & wyse men, & scrybes, and some of them ye shall kyll & crucifye: & some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, & persecute them from cytie to cytie: ³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the ryghteous bloude whych hath bene shedd vpoon the erthe, from the bloude of ryghteous. Abel, vnto the bloude of Zachary sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the temple & the altare. ³⁶ Uerely I saye vnto you: all these thynges shall come vpon this generacion. ³⁷ O Ierusalem, Ierusalem, thou that kyllest the prophetes, & stonest them which are sent vnto the: how often wolde. I haue gathered thy chyldren together, euen as the henne gathereth her chyckens vnder her wynges, & ye wolde not? ³⁸ Beholde youre house is left vnto you desolate. ³⁹ For I saye vnto you: ye shall not se me hence forth, tyll that ye saye blessed is he, that commeth in the name of the Lorde.

¹ My brethren, esteme not the fayth of our Lorde Iesus Christ the Lorde of glory wt respecte of persons. ² For if ther come into youre company a man wearyng a golden ryng, clothed in goodly aparell, and ther come in also a poore man in vyle rayment, ³ & ye haue a respecte to him that weareth the gaye clothing, and say vnto him: Syt thou here in a good place: and saye vnto the poore: stande thou there, or syt here vnder my fote stole: ⁴ are ye not parciall in youre selues, and haue iudged after euyll thoughtes? ⁵ Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of thys worlde, soch as are ryche in faythe, & heyres of the kyngdome, whych he promysed to them that loue hym? ⁶ But ye haue despysed the poore. Do not rych men execute tyrannye vpon you, and draw you before the iudgement seates. ⁷ Do not they speake euyll of that good name which is called vpon ouer you? ⁸ Yf ye fulfyll the royall lawe, accordynge to the scripture. (Thou shalte loue thyne neghboure as thy selfe) ye do well. ⁹ But yf ye regarde one person more then another, ye commyt synne, & are rebuked of the lawe, as transgressours. ¹⁰ Whosoeuer shall kepe the whole lawe, & yet fayle in one poynt, he is gyltie of all. ¹¹ For he that sayd: Thou shalt not commyt adulterye, sayde also thou shalt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterye, yet yf thou kyll, thou art become a transgressor of the lawe. ¹² So speake ye, and so do, as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of libertye. ¹³ For he shal haue iudgement without mercy that sheweth no mercy: and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement.

¹⁰ I beseche you brethren by the name of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thinge, and that there be no dissencion amonge you: but that ye maye be a whole body: of one mynde and of one meanynge.
