Matthew(i)
1 And Ionas prayed vnto the Lord his God, out of the fysshes bely,
2 & sayde: In my trouble I called vnto the Lord, & he herde me: out of the bely of hell I cryed, and thou herdest my voyce.
3 Thou haddest cast me downe depe in the myddest of the sea, and the floude compassed me aboute: yee all thy waues and roules of water went ouer me,
4 I thought that I had bene cast awaye out of thy syght: but I wyll yet agayne loke towarde thy holy temple.
5 The waters compased me, euen to the very soule, the depe laye aboute me, and the wedes were wrapte aboute myne head.
6 I went downe to the botome af the hylles, and was barred in wyth earth for euer. But thou, O Lorde my God, haste brought vp my lyfe agayne out of corrupcyon.
7 When my soule faynted within me, I thought vpon the Lord: & my prayer came in vnto the, euen in to thy holy temple.
8 They that holde of vayue vanyties, will forsake hys mercy.
9 But I wyll do the sacryfyce wyth the voyce of thankesgeuynge, and wil paye that I haue vowed: for why? saluacion commeth of the Lorde.
