Matthew(i)
1 Brethren haue not the faythe of oure Lorde Iesus Christe the Lorde of glorye in respect of persons.
2 If there come into your company a man wyth a golden ring and in goodly apparell, and there come in also a pore man in vyle raymente,
3 and ye haue a respecte to hym that weareth the gaye clothynge, and saye vnto hym. Sitte thou here in a good place: and saye vnto the pore, stande thou there, or sitte here vnder my fotestole:
4 are ye not parcyall in your selues, and haue iudged after euyll thoughtes?
5 Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the pore of thys world, which are ryche in faythe, and heyres of the kyngedome whiche he promysed to them that loue hym?
6 But ye haue despysed the pore. Are not the ryche they whiche oppresse you: and they which drawe you before iudges?
7 Do not they speake euyll of the good name after whiche ye be named?
8 Yf ye fulfyll the royall lawe accordynge to the scripture whiche sayeth. Thou shalte loue thyne neyghboure as thy self, ye do wel.
9 But yf ye regarde one personne more then another, ye commytte sinne, and are rebuked of the lawe as transgressours.
