Matthew(i)
1 Take hede to your almes, that ye geue it not in the sight of men, to the intent that ye would be sene of them. Or els ye get no rewarde of youre father whyche is in heauen.
2 Whensoeuer therfore thou geuest thime almes, thou shalt not make a trompet to be blowen before the, as the hypocrytes do in the synagoges and in the stretes, for to be praised of men. Verely I saye vnto you, they haue their rewarde.
3 But when thou doest thine almes, let not thy lyft hande knowe what thy ryght hande doth,
4 that thyne almes may be secrete: and thy father whiche seeth in secrete, shall rewarde the openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hipocrites are. For they loue to stande and praye in the sinagoges, and in the corners of the stretes, and because they wolde be seane of men. Verely I say vnto you, they haue their rewarde.
6 But when thou prayest, entre into thy chamber, & shut thy dore to the, & praie to thi father which is in secrete: & thy father which seeth in secrete, shall rewarde the openlye.
7 But when ye praye, bable not much as the Heathen do: for they thinke that they shalbe herde, for their muche bablynge sake.
8 Be ye not lyke them therfore. For your father knoweth wherof ye haue neade, before ye axe of him
9 after this manner therfore pray ye. Our father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name.
10 Let thy kingdome come. Thy wyll be fulfylled, as well in earth, as it is in heauen.
11 Geue vs this daye our daylye breade.
12 And forgeue vs our trespases, euen as we forgeue oure trespasers.
13 And lead vs not into temptaciou. But delyuer vs from euyll. For thyne is the kingdome and the power, and the glorye for euer Amen.
14 For and if ye shall forgeue other men their trespases, your heauenlye father shall also forgeue you.
15 But and ye wyll not forgeue men theyr trespases, no more shall your father forgeue your trespases.
16 Moreouer when ye fast, be not sad as the hipocrites are. For they disfygure their faces, that they myght be sene of men how they fast. Verely I say vnto you, they haue their rewarde.
