Matthew(i)
13 Ye with God is wysdome and strength, it is he that hath councell and forknowlege.
14 If he breake downe a thinge, who can set it vp agayne? If he shut a thing, who wyll open it?
15 Beholde, yf he witholde the waters, they drye vp: Yf he let them go, they destroye the earth.
16 With hym is strength and wysdome: he knoweth bothe the disceyuer & hym that is disceyued.
17 He caryeth awaye the wyse men, as it were a spoyle, and bringeth the iudges out of their wyttes.
18 He lowseth the gyrdle of kynges, and gyrdeth theyr loynes with a bonde.
19 He ledeth awaye the Preastes in to captyuyte, and turneth the myghtye vpsyde downe.
20 He taketh the verite from out of the mouth, & disapoynteth the aged of their wysdome.
21 He poureth out confusyon vpon Princes, and comforteth them that haue bene oppressed.
22 Loke what lyeth hyd in darcknesse, he declareth it openly: and the very shadowe of death bringet he to lyght.
23 He bothe increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: He maketh them to multiplye and driueth them awaye.
24 He chaungeth the herte of the Princes and Kynges of the earth and disapoynteth them: so that they go wandringe out of the waye,
25 & grope in the darcke without light, stackeringe to and fro lyke droncken men.
