10 And whe he waxed hungry, he would haue eaten: But whyle they made redie, he fell into a traunce
11 And saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had ben a great sheete, knyt at the foure corners, & was let downe to the earth
12 Wherin were all maner of fourefooted beastes of the earth, & wilde beastes, and wormes, and foules of the ayre
13 And there came a voyce to hym: ryse Peter, kyll and eate
14 But Peter sayde, Not so Lorde: For I haue neuer eaten any thyng that is common or vncleane
15 And the voyce spake vnto hym againe the seconde tyme: What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common
16 This was done thryse, and the vessell was receaued vp agayne into heauen
17 Nowe whyle Peter doubted in hym selfe, what this vision whiche he hadde seene meant: beholde, the men whiche were sent from Cornelius, had made inquiraunce for Simons house, & stoode before the doore
18 And called, and asked whether Simo which was sirnamed Peter, were lodged there
19 Whyle Peter thought on the vision, the spirite said vnto hym: beholde, three men seke thee
20 Arise therfore, and get the downe, and go with them, & doubt not, for I haue sent them
21 Then Peter went downe to the men which were set vnto him fro Cornelius, & said: Behold, I am he who ye seeke, what is the cause wherfore ye are come
22 And they sayde: Cornelius the capitayne, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Iewes, was warned by an holy Angel to sende for thee into his house, and to heare wordes of thee
23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morowe, Peter went away with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied hym
24 And the thirde day after, entred they into Cesarea: And Cornelius wayted for them, and hadde called together his kinsemen and speciall friendes
25 And it came to passe, as Peter came in, Cornelius met hym, & fell downe at his feete, and worshipped [hym.
26 But Peter toke him vp, saying: stande vp, I my selfe also am a man
27 And as he talked with him, he came in, & found many that were come together
28 And he said vnto the: Ye knowe how that it is an vnlawful thyng for a man that is a Iew, to companie or come vnto one of another natio: But God hath shewed me, that I shoulde not call any man common or vncleane
29 Therefore came I vnto you without delay, assoone as I was sent for: I aske therfore, for what intent ye haue sent for me
30 And Cornelius sayde: This day nowe foure dayes, about this houre, I sate fasting, and at the ninth houre, I prayed in my house: And beholde, a man stoode before me in bryght clothyng
31 And sayde: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thyne almes deedes are had in remembraunce in the syght of God
32 Sende therfore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose sirname is Peter: He is lodged in the house of one Simo, a tanner, by the sea syde, who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee
33 Then sent I for thee immediatly, and thou hast well done that thou art come. Nowe therfore are we all here present before God, to heare all thynges that are commaunded vnto thee of God
