Matthew(i)
13 I speake to you gentyls, in as much as I am the Apostle of the gentyls: I wil magnify myne offyce,
14 that I myght prouoke them which are my fleshe, and myght saue some of them.
15 For yf the castynge awaye of them, be the reconcilinge of the worlde: what shall the receyuing of them be but lyfe agayne from death?
16 For yf one piece be holye, the whole heape is holy & yf the rose be holy, the braunches are holy also.
17 Thoughe some of the braunches be broken of, and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree, arte grafte in among them, and made partaker of the rote and fatnes of the olyue tree,
18 bost not thy selfe agaynst the braunches. For yf thou boste thy selfe, remember that thou bearest not the rote, but the rote the.
19 Thou wylte saye then: the braunches are broken of, that I might be grafte in.
20 Thou sayeste well: because of vnbelefe they are broken of, & thou standest stedfaste in faythe.

23 and yf they byde not styll in vnbelefe, shalbe graffed in agayne. For God is of power to graffe them in agayn.
24 For yf thou wast cut out of a naturall wylde olyue tree, and waste graffed contrary to nature into a true olyue tre, howe muche more shall the naturall braunches be graffed into theyr owne olyue tree agayne.
25 I woulde not that thys secrete shoulde be hyd from you my brethren (leste ye should be wyse in youre owne conceptes) that partelye blyndenes is happened in Israell, vntyll the fulnes of the gentyls be come in:
26 and so al Israel shalbe saued. As it is wrytten: There shal come oute of Syon he that doeth delyuer, and shall turne away the vngodlynes of Iacob.
27 And this is my couenaunte vnto them, when I shall take awaye theyr synnes.
