Matthew(i)
1 If thou shalt herken dilygently vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to obserue and to do al hys commaundementes which I commaunde the thys day. The Lord wyl set the vp on hye aboue all nacions of the erth.
2 And al these blessinges shal come on the and ouertake the, yf thou shalt herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the towne and blessed in the feldes,
4 blessed shalbe the frute of thy body, the frute of thy grounde and the frute of thy catell, the frute of thyne oxen, and thy flockes of shepe,
5 blessed shall thyne aulmery be and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be, both when thou goest out, and blessed when thou comest in.
