Matthew(i)
8 What hope hath the ypocrite, though he haue greate good, and though God geue him ryches after his hertes desire?
9 Doeth God hear him the soner, when he crieth vnto him in his necessite?
10 Hath he suche pleasure and delyte in the Almighty, that he darre alway cal vpon God?
11 I wyl teache you in the name of God? and the thinge that I haue of the Almightye will I not kepe from you.
12 Beholde, ye stand in youre owne conceate, as though ye knewe all thinges. Wherfore then do ye go aboute with suche vaine wordes,
13 saying: This is the porcion that the wicked shall haue of God, and the heretage that Tirauntes shall receyue of the almighty.
14 Yf he get many chyldren, they shal perishe with the swearde, and hys posterite, shal haue scarcenesse of bread.
15 Loke whom he leaueth behind him, they shall dye & be buried, and no man shall haue pite of hys wyddowes.
16 Though he haue as muche money as the dust of the earthe, and raymente as ready as the claie,
17 he maye wel prepare it: but the godly shall put it vpon him, & the innocent shall deale oute the money.
18 His house shall endure as the moth, and as a bothe that the watcheman maketh.
19 When the ryche man dyeth, he caried nothing with him: he is gone in the twinckelynge of an eye.
20 Destruccyon taketh holde vpon him as a water floud, and the tempest stealeth hym awaie in the nyghte season.
21 A vehemente wynde caried him hence and departeth: a storme plucketh hym oute of his place.
22 It russheth in vpon hym, and spareth him not, he maye not escape from the power thereof.
23 Then clappe men their handes at him, yea and yeast of him, when they loke vpon his place.
