⁹ As for the chyldren of men, they be onlye but vanitie, the chyldren of lordes be but a lye: vpon the wayghtes they [be] altogether [lighter] then vanitie in selfe

³⁷ (119:5) Turne away myne eyes, lest they beholde vanitie: cause me to lyue in thy way

²⁵ Lust not after her beautie in thyne heart, lest thou be taken with her fayre lokes

³⁴ For the ielousie and wrath of the man wyll not be entreated

¹⁵ Slouthfulnesse bryngeth sleepe, and a soule accustomed with craft, shall suffer hunger

¹ Wine maketh a man to be scornefull, & strong drinke causeth a man to be vnquiet: who so delighteth therin shall not be wyse

³⁰ There is no wysdome, there is no vnderstanding, there is no counsayle against the Lorde

³³ Yea sleepe on styll [I say] a litle, slumber a litle, folde thy handes together yet a litle ³⁴ So shall pouertie come vnto thee as one that trauayleth by the way, and necessitie lyke a weaponed man

¹³ He that hydeth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but whoso knowledgeth them and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy

¹² If a prince delight in lyes, all his seruauntes are vngodly

²⁰ Such is the way also of a wyfe that breaketh wedlocke, which wypeth her mouth [lyke as] when she hath eaten, and sayth, as for me I haue done no wickednesse

³⁰ As for fauour it is deceiptfull, & beautie is a vayne thyng: but a woman that feareth the Lorde, shalbe praysed

⁸ A tyme to loue, and a tyme to hate: A tyme of warre, and a tyme of peace

¹ For all these thinges purposed I in my mynde to seeke out: The righteous & wise, yea & their seruauntes also are in the hand of God, and there is no man that knoweth eyther loue or hate, but all thinges are before them ² It happeneth vnto one as vnto another, it goeth with the righteous as with the vngodly, with the good and cleane, as with the vncleane, with hym that offereth, as with him that offereth not: like as it goeth with the vertuous, so goeth it also with the sinner: as it happeneth vnto the pariured, so happeneth it also to hym that is afrayde to be forsworne ³ Among all thinges that come to passe vnder the sunne, this is a miserie, that it happeneth vnto all alike: This is the cause also that the heartes of men are full of wickednesse, and madde foolishnesse is in their heartes as long as they liue, vntyll they dye

¹¹ So I turned me vnto other thinges vnder the sunne, & I sawe that in running it helpeth not to be swift, in battell it helpeth not to be strong, to feeding it helpeth not to be wyse, to riches it helpeth not to be a man of muche vnderstanding, to be had in fauour it helpeth not to be cunning: but that all lieth in tyme and fortune ¹² For a man knoweth not his tyme: but like as the fishes are taken with the angle, and as the byrdes are caught with the snare: euen so are men taken in the perillous time, when it commeth sodaynly vpon them

¹⁰ That they may all aunswere and speake vnto thee, Art thou become weake also as we? Art thou become lyke vnto vs

¹² And in that day dyd the Lorde God of hoastes call men vnto weepyng and mournyng, to baldnesse and girdyng about with sackcloth ¹³ And beholde they haue ioy and gladnesse, slaying oxen, and kyllyng sheepe, eatyng fleshe, and drynkyng wine: Let vs eate and drynke, for to morowe we shall dye ¹⁴ And it came to the eares of the Lorde of hoastes, This iniquitie shall not be purged from you tyll ye dye, saith the Lorde God of hoastes

¹³ Therfore thus hath the Lorde sayd: Forsomuche as this people when they be in trouble, do honour me with their mouth and with their lippes, but their heart is farre fro me, and the feare whiche they haue vnto me proceedeth of a commaundement that is taught of men

¹⁵ Wo vnto them that kepe secrete their thoughtes, to hide their counsell from the Lorde, and to do their workes in darknesse, saying: Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs

²² [Yea and that so sore] that though thou washe thee with Nitrus, and make thy selfe to sauour with that sweete smellyng hearbe of Borith: yet in my sight thou art stayned with thy wickednesse, saith the Lorde thy God ²³ Howe sayest thou nowe, I am not vncleane, and I haue not folowed Baalim? Loke vpon thine owne wayes in the valleys what thou hast done? Thou art like a swift dromedarie that goeth easyly her way

³⁷ Yea thou shalt go thy way from them, and smite thine handes together vpon thy head, because the Lorde shall bring that confidence and hope of thine to naught, & thou shalt not prosper withal

⁸ In the desire of vncleanly lust they are become lyke the stoned horse, euery man neyeth at his neighbours wife

¹ O who wyll geue my head water inough, and a wel of teares for mine eyes, that I may weepe night and day for the slaughter of my people ² Woulde God that I had a cottage somewhere farre from folke, that I might leaue my people and go from them, for they be all adulterers and a shrinking sort ³ They bend their tongues like vowes to shoote out lyes, they waxe strong vppon earth: As for the trueth, they may nothing away withall in the worlde, for they go from one wickednes to another, and wyll not knowe me, saith the Lorde ⁴ Yea, one must kepe hym selfe from another, no man may safely trust his owne brother: for one brother vndermindeth another, one neighbour beguileth another

⁹ Among all thynges, man hath the most deceiptfull and stubburne heart: Who shall then knowe it

¹³ For the houses of Hierusalem, and the houses of the kynges of Iuda shalbe defiled like as Thopheth, and so shal al the houses in whose roofes they did sacrifice vnto all the hoast of heauen, and powred drinke offerings vnto straunge gods

¹³ Sing vnto the Lord and prayse hym, for he hath deliuered the soule of the oppressed from the hande of the violent

⁵¹ Neither hath Samaria done halfe of thy sinnes, yea thou hast exceeded them in thyne abhominations, and hast iustified thy sisters in all thyne abhominations whiche thou hast done ⁵² Therfore thou which didst condemne thy sister, beare thyne owne shame: for thyne owne offences that thou hast comitted more abhominable then they dyd, which in deede are more righteous then thou art, be thou [I say] ashamed, and beare the shamefull rebuke, seeing that thou hast iustified thy sisters

²⁰ Appoynt a way that the sworde may come towarde Rabbath of the Ammonites, and towarde Iuda in the defenced Hierusalem

¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed and broken in iudgement, because he wyllyngly folowed the commaundement

⁶ For whyles they lye in wayte, they haue made redye their heart lyke an ouen, their baker sleepeth all night, in the morning it burneth as a flambe of fire ⁷ They are altogether as hotte as an ouen, and haue deuoured their owne iudges, all their kinges are fallen, yet is there none of them that calleth vpon me

³ Yet they say they do wel, when they do euyll: the prince asketh, and the iudge [iudgeth] for a rewarde, therfore the great man speaketh out of the corruption of his soule, and so they wrappe it vp ⁴ The best of them is as bryer, and the most righteous of them is [sharper] then a thorne hedge: the day of thy watchmen, [and] of thy visitation commeth: then shalbe their confusion ⁵ Let no man beleeue his friende, nor put his confidence in his brother: kepe the doore of thy mouth from her that lyeth in thy bosome

¹⁵ Wo vnto him that geueth his neyghbour drinke, thou ioynest thy heate, and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest see their priuities

³ After that, shall the Lorde go foorth to fight against those heathen, as men vse to fight in the day of battaile

²⁸ But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer loketh on a woman, to luste after her, hath committed adultry with her alredy, in his heart

²⁴ The disciple is not aboue the maister, nor the seruaunt aboue his lorde ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple, that he be as his maister is: and that the seruaunt, be as his lorde is. If they haue called the lorde of the house Beelzebub: howe much more shall they call them of his householde so

²⁷ What I tell you in darknesse, that speake ye in lyght: And what ye heare in the eare, that preach ye on the houses

⁴⁰ And he came vnto the disciples, and founde them a slepe, and sayth vnto Peter: What, coulde ye not watche with me one houre ⁴¹ Watche, and praye, that ye enter not into temptation: The spirite in deede is wyllyng, but the fleshe is weake

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying: I wote not what thou sayest

⁷² And agayne he denyed with an oth: I do not knowe the man

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse, & to sweare, that he knewe not the man. And immediatly the Cocke crewe

⁴⁴ And he turned to the woman, & sayde vnto Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entred into thyne house, thou gauest me no water for my feete, but she hath wasshed my feete with teares, & wyped them with the heeres of her head

² For there is nothyng couered, that shall not be vncouered, neither hyd, that shall not be knowen

¹⁴ If I then your Lorde and Maister, haue wasshed your feete, ye also ought to wasshe one anothers feete

²⁹ Then Peter and the other Apostles aunswered, and sayde: We ought more to obey God then men

⁹ On the morowe as they went on their iourney, and drewe nye vnto the citie, Peter went vp vnto the highest part of the house to pray, about the sixth houre

²⁵ Euery man that proueth maisteries, abstayneth from all thynges, and they [do it] to obtayne a crowne that shall perishe: but we to obtayne an euerlasting crowne ²⁶ I therfore so run, not as at an vncertayne thing: So fight I, not as one that beateth the ayre ²⁷ But I tame my body, and bryng it into subiection, lest by any meanes, that when I haue preached to other, I my selfe shoulde be a castaway

⁶ Therefore let vs not sleepe, as [do] other: but let vs watche and be sober ⁷ For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night: and they that be druncken, are druncken in the nyght

³ Thou therfore suffer afflictions as a good souldier of Iesus Christe ⁴ No man that warreth, entangleth hym selfe with thaffayres of [this] lyfe, that he may please hym which hath chosen hym to be a souldier

¹² If we be patient, we shall also raigne with hym: If we denie hym, he also shall denie vs

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in the syght of hym: But all thinges are naked and open vnto the eyes of hym of whom we speake

¹ Wherfore, seyng that we are compassed with so great a cloude of witnesses, lay away all that presseth downe, & the sinne that hangeth so fast on, let vs run with patience vnto the battayle that is set before vs ² Lokyng vnto Iesus, the captayne and finissher of our fayth, which for the ioy that was set before hym, endured the crosse, hauyng dispised the shame, and is set downe on the ryght hande of the throne of God

⁴ Wedlocke is honorable among all men, and the bed vndefiled: But whoremongers and adulterers God wyll iudge

¹⁴ But euery man is tempted, when he is drawen away, & entised of his owne concupiscence ¹⁵ Then, when lust hath conceaued, it bryngeth foorth sinne: and sinne when it is finished, bryngeth foorth death

⁷ The ende of all thynges is at hande. Be ye therefore sober, and watche vnto prayer

¹⁶ For all that is in the worlde, as the lust of the fleshe, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of the worlde
