Matthew(i)
9 Let hys chyldren be fatherlesse, and hys wyfe a wydowe.
10 Let his children be vagabaundes, and bege their breade: lette them seke it, as they that be destroyed.
11 Let the extorcioner consume al that he hath and let straungers spoyle his laboure.
12 Let ther be no man to pytye, ner to haue compassyon vpon his fatherles chyldren.
13 Let hys ende be destruccyon, & in the next generacion let his name be cleane put oute.
14 Let the wickednesse of his fathers be had in remembraunce in the syght of the Lorde & and let not the synne of hys mother be done awaye.
15 Let them alway be before the Lorde, but as for the memoryall of them selues, let it perysh from out of the earth.
16 And that because hys mynde was not to do good. but persecuted the poore helplesse, and hym that was vexed at the harte, to slay hym.
17 Hys delyte was in cursynge, and therfore shall it happen vnto hym: he loued not blessynge and that shall be far from hym.
18 He clothed hym selfe wyth cursynge lyke as wyth a rayment: yea it wente into hys bowels lyke water, and lyke oile into his bone
19 Let it be vnto hym as the cloke that he hath vpon hym, and as the gyrdle that he is gyrded with al.
20 Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto myne enemyes, and to those that speake euel agaynst my soule.
21 But deale thou wyth me, O Lorde God, accordynge vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy. O deliuer me,
22 for I am helplesse, and pore and my herte is wounded within me.
23 I go hence lyke the shadowe that departeth, & am driuen away as the greshoppers.
24 My knees are weake thorow fastynge my flesh is dryed vp for want of fatnesse.
25 I am become a rebuke vnto them, they loke vpon me and shake their heades.
26 Helpe me, O Lorde my God, oh saue me for thy mercies sake.
27 That they maye knowe, how that thys is thy hand, and that thou hast done it.
28 Though they curse, yet blesse thou: and let them be confounded, that ryse vp agaynst me, but let thy seruaunt reioyse.
29 Let myne aduersaryes be clothed wyth their owne shame, as with a cloke.
30 As for me, I wyl geue thanckes vnto the Lord wyth my mouth, and praise hym among the multitude.
31 For he standeth at the ryght hand of the pore, to saue hym from suche as condempne hys soule.
