²¹ And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commaundement of the king, euen in the court of the house of the Lorde

³¹ And the king stoode at his standing, and made a couenaunt before the Lorde, to folowe the Lorde, and to kepe his commaundementes, his witnesse, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with al his soule, and to fulfill the wordes of the appoyntment written in the sayd booke

²⁷ Hath my heart medled priuyly with any disceite? or did I euer kisse myne owne hande

¹⁰ (66:9) For thou O Lord hast proued vs: thou hast tryed vs, like as siluer is tryed

³⁸ Yea many a tyme he dyd much for to represse his anger: and neuer woulde suffer his whole rage to breake out

⁷ Thou calledst vpon me in troubles, and I deliuered thee: I hearde thee out of the middest of a thunder, I proued thee also at the waters of strife. Selah

⁶ I shall take then no shame: when I haue regarde vnto all thy commaundementes

¹⁰ My sonne, if sinners entice thee, consent not vnto them

²⁰ Why wylt thou my sonne haue pleasure in a straunge woman, and embrace the bosome of a straunger

²⁴ A man that wyll haue frendes, must shewe hym selfe frendly: and there is a frende whiche is nearer then a brother

²⁵ If thou smytest a scornefull person, the ignoraunt shall take better heede: and if thou reprouest one that hath vnderstanding, he wyll be the wyser

¹¹ When the scornefull is punished, the ignoraunt take the better heede: and when the wyse is instructed, he wyll receaue vnderstanding

²⁰ Get thee to the lawe, and the testimonie: and if they speake not after this worde, there is no light in them

¹⁴ Therefore hath the Lorde rooted out of Israel both head and tayle, bough and reede in one day ¹⁵ By the head, is vnderstande the senatour and honourable man, and by the tayle, the prophete that preached lyes

¹⁵ By the head, is vnderstande the senatour and honourable man, and by the tayle, the prophete that preached lyes

³ And shall make hym of deepe iudgement in the feare of God: For he shall not geue sentence after the thing that shalbe brought before his eyes, neither reproue after the hearing of his eares ⁴ But with righteousnesse shal he iudge the poore, and with equitie shall he refourme the simple of the worlde, and he shall smyte the worlde with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his mouth shall he slay the vngodly

¹ This is the burthen vpon Damascus: Beholde Damascus is taken away to be no more a citie, but shalbe an heape of broken stones

² Thou hast made a citie a heape of stones, and brought a strong towne into decay: the habitation of straungers hast thou made to be no citie, neither shall it be buylded any more

¹⁷ Iudgement also wyll I laye to the rule, and righteousnesse to the balaunce, so that the hayle shall sweepe away as a broome your vayne confidence, and the priuie place of your refuge shall the waters runne ouer ¹⁸ And thus the couenaunt that ye made with death, shalbe disanulled, and your agreement that ye made with hell shall not stand, yea when the sore plague goeth foorth, ye shalbe troden downe vnder it

¹³ For from the least to the most they hang all vpon couetousnesse: and from the prophete vnto the priest, they go about falshood and lyes

²³ But this I commaunded them, saying, Hearken and obay my voyce, and I shalbe your God, and ye shalbe my people, so that ye walke in al the wayes whiche I haue commaunded you, that ye may prosper

¹⁵ Therfore thus saith the Lorde: As for those prophetes that preache in my name, whom I neuerthelesse haue not sent, and that say, Tushe, there shall no sworde nor hunger be in this lande: with sworde and with hunger shall those prophetes perishe

¹¹ For the prophetes and the priestes them selues are polluted hypocrites, and their wickednesse haue I founde in my house, saith the Lorde

²⁵ I haue hearde well inough what the prophetes say that preache lyes in my name, saying, I haue dreamed, I haue dreamed ²⁶ Howe long wyll this continue in the prophetes heart to tell lies, and preache the craftie subtiltie of their owne heart ²⁷ Whose purpose is with the dreames that euery one tell, to make my people forget my name, as their fathers dyd when Baal came vp ²⁸ The prophete that hath a dreame, let hym tell it, and he that vnderstandeth my worde, let hym shewe it faythfully: for what hath chaffe and wheate to do together saith the Lorde

⁹ And therfore folowe not your prophetes, soothsayers, expounders of dreames, charmers, & witches, which say vnto you, Ye shal not serue the kyng of Babylon

⁹ Either of peace vpon many nations and great kyngdomes, were proued by this (yf God hath sent them in very deede) when the thyng came to passe which the prophete tolde before

¹⁵ Then sayde the prophete Ieremie vnto the prophete Hananias: Heare me Hananias, The Lorde hath not sent thee, but thou bryngest this people into a false beliefe ¹⁶ And therfore thus saith the Lorde: Beholde, I wyll sende thee out of the lande, and within a yere thou shalt dye, because thou hast falsely spoken agaynst the Lorde ¹⁷ So Hananias dyed the same yere in the seuenth moneth

⁸ For thus saith the Lorde of hoastes the God of Israel, Let not these prophetes and soothsayers that be among you deceaue you, and beleue not your owne dreames

²¹ Thus hath the Lorde of hoastes the God of Israel spoken of Ahab the sonne of Colaiah, and of Zedekiah the sonne of Maasiah, which prophecie lyes vnto you in my name: Beholde, I wyll deliuer them into the hande of Nabuchodonozor the kyng of Babylon, that he may slay them before your eyes ²² And all the prisoners of Iuda that are in Babylon, shall take this tearme of cursyng, and say: Nowe God do vnto thee as he did vnto Zedekiah & Ahab, whom the kyng of Babylon rosted in the fire

²⁴ But as for Semeiah the Nehelamite, thou shalt speake vnto hym

² Beholde therefore, the tyme commeth saith the Lord, that I wyll bring a noyse of warre into Rabath of the Ammonites, and it shalbe layde on a desolate heape, and her cities brent vp, and the Israelites shalbe lordes ouer those that had them in possession afore saith the Lorde

⁶ My people haue ben a lost flocke, my sheepheardes haue deceaued them, and haue made them go astray vpon the hylles, they haue gone from the mountayne to the litle hyl, and forgotten their folde

³² But though he punishe, yet according to the multitude of his mercies he receaueth to grace agayne

¹¹ Wherfore, as truly as I lyue saith the Lorde God, seyng thou hast defiled my sanctuarie with all maner of abhominations, and with all shamefull offences: For this cause will I also destroy thee, mine eye shall not spare thee, neither wyll I haue any pitie

⁵ And to the other he sayd, that I might here, Go ye after hym through the citie, and sinite, let your eye spare none, neither haue ye any pitie ⁶ Kyll and destroy both olde men and young, maydens, children, and women: but as for all those that haue the marke vpon them, see that ye touche them not, and begyn at my sanctuarie. Then they began at the auncient men which were before the house

² Thou sonne of man, prophecie against chose prophetes of Israel whiche prophecie, and say vnto them that prophecie out of their owne heartes, Heare the worde of the Lorde ³ Thus saith the Lord God, wo be vnto those foolishe prophetes that folowe their owne spirit, & haue seene nothing

²³ Therfore shall ye see no more vanitie, neither shall ye deuine diuinations, for I wyll deliuer my people out of your hande, that ye may knowe howe that I am the Lorde

²⁶ Moreouer, I will make a bonde of peace with them, whiche shalbe vnto them an euerlasting couenaunt: I will settle them also and multiplie them, my sanctuarie will I set among them for euermore

⁶ Therefore I wyll make Samaria an heape of the fielde [meete] for the planting of a vineyarde: her stones wyll I tumble downe into the valley, and discouer her foundations

⁸ He hath shewed thee O man what is good, and what the Lorde requireth of thee: [namely] to do iustly, to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe to walke with thy God

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 ⁶ For the sonne dishonoreth his father, the daughter riseth against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in lawe: and a mans foes are euen they of his owne housholde ⁷ Neuerthelesse, I wil looke vp vnto the Lorde, I will patiently abyde God my sauiour: my God shall heare me

² For vaine is the aunswere of idols, the soothsayers see lyes, & the dreamers tell but vaine thinges, the comfort that they geue is nothing worth: therefore they went away lyke a flocke of sheepe, and were troubled, because they had no shephearde

³ So that if any of them prophecie any more, his owne father and mother that begat him, shal say vnto him, Thou shalt dye, for thou speakest lyes vnder the name of the Lord: yea his owne father and mother that begat him shall wounde him, when he prophecieth ⁴ And then shal those prophetes be confounded euery one of his vision when he prophecieth: neither shal they weare heere cloth any more to deceaue men withall

³³ But rather, seke ye first the kyngdome of God, and his ryghteousnesse, and all these thynges shalbe ministred vnto you

¹⁵ Beware of false prophetes, which come to you in sheepes clothyng: but inwardly they are rauenyng woolfes

²¹ Not euery one, that sayeth vnto me Lorde, Lorde, shall enter into the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doeth the wyll of my father, which is in heauen ²² Many wyll say to me in that day, Lorde Lorde, haue we not prophesied thorowe thy name? and thorowe thy name haue cast out deuyls? & done many great workes thorowe thy name ²³ And then wyll I confesse vnto them, I neuer knewe you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie ²⁴ Therfore, whosoeuer heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth the same, I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt his house vpon a rocke

³⁷ He that loueth father or mother, more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that loueth sonne or daughter, more the me, is not worthy of me

⁴⁸ But he aunswered, and sayde vnto hym that had tolde hym: Who is my mother? or who are my brethren ⁴⁹ And he stretched foorth his hande towarde his disciples, & sayde, beholde my mother, and my brethren ⁵⁰ For whosoeuer shall do the wyll of my father which is in heauen, the same is my brother, sister, and mother

¹¹ And many false prophetes shall aryse, and shall deceaue many

²⁴ For there shall aryse false Christes, and false prophetes, and shall shewe great signes, and wonders: In so much, that yf it were possible, the very elect, shoulde be deceaued

²² For false Christes, and false prophetes shall ryse, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceaue, yf it were possible, euen the elect

⁶ They were both ryghteous before God, and walked in all the lawes and ordinaunces of the Lorde, that no man coulde fynde fault with them

²⁶ Wo vnto you when all men prayse you: for so dyd their fathers to the false prophetes

²⁶ If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother, and wyfe, and chyldren, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his owne lyfe also, he can not be my disciple

²⁴ Iudge not after the [vtter] appearaunce, but iudge with a ryghteous iudgement

⁷ So, when they continued asking him, he lyft vp hym selfe, & sayde vnto them: Let hym that is among you without sinne, caste the first stone at her

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the deuyll, and the lustes of your father wyll ye do. He was a murtherer from the begynnyng, and abode not in the trueth: because there is no trueth in hym. When he speaketh a lye, he speaketh of his owne: For he is a lyer, and the father of the same thyng

⁵⁸ And cast hym out of the citie, and stoned him. And ye witnesses layde downe their clothes at a young mans feete, whose name was Saul

⁸ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne the deputie away from the fayth

¹¹ These were the noblest of birth among them of Thessalonica, which receaued the worde with all redynesse of mynde, and searched the scriptures dayly, whether those thynges were so

¹³ Neither geue ye your members as instrumentes of vnryghteousnesse vnto sinne: but geue your selues vnto God, as they that are alyue from the dead, and your members as instrumentes of ryghteousnesse vnto God

¹³ Them that are without God iudgeth. Put away from among you that wicked person

¹⁷ But he that is ioyned vnto the Lord is one spirite

¹⁹ For there must be sectes among you, that they which are approued among you, myght be knowen

²² Yf any man loue not the Lorde Iesus Christe, the same be Anathema maranatha

¹⁶ Wherefore hencefoorth knowe we no man after the flesshe: Insomuche, though we haue knowen Christe after the flesshe, nowe yet hencefoorth knowe we hym so no more

¹⁵ Or what concorde hath Christe with belyall? Eyther what part hath he that beleueth, with an infidell

⁸ This say I not by commaundement, but because of ye feruentnesse of other, & alowing the vnfaynednes of your loue

¹³ For such false Apostles [are] disceiptfull workers, transfourmed into ye Apostles of Christe ¹⁴ And no maruayle, for Satan himselfe is transfourmed into an angel of lyght ¹⁵ Therfore it is no great thyng though his ministers be transfourmed as the ministers of righteousnesse, whose ende shalbe accordyng to their workes

⁸ Neuerthelesse, though we, or an Angel from heauen, preache any other Gospel vnto you, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let hym be accursed ⁹ As we sayde before, so say I nowe agayne, yf any man preache any other Gospell vnto you, then that ye haue receaued, let hym be accursed

⁴ And that because of incommers, being false brethren, which came in priuily, to spye out our libertie which we haue in Christe Iesu, that they myght bryng vs into bondage

¹⁴ That we hencefoorth be no more children, wauering and caryed about with euery wynde of doctrine, in the wylynesse of men, in craftynesse, to the laying wayte of deceyte

¹⁰ That ye myght walke worthie of the Lorde in all pleasyng, beyng fruitefull in all good workes, and encreasyng in the knowledge of God

⁴ This I say, lest any man shoulde begyle you with perswasion of wordes

¹ Furthermore we besech you brethren, & exhorte you by the Lorde Iesus, that ye encrease more and more, as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walke and to please God ² For ye knowe what commaundementes we gaue you by the Lorde Iesus

⁹ [Euen hym] whose commyng is after the workyng of Satan, in all power & signes, and wonders, of lying

⁹ [Euen hym] whose commyng is after the workyng of Satan, in all power & signes, and wonders, of lying ¹⁰ And in all deceauablenesse of vnryghteousnesse, in them that peryshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued ¹¹ And therefore God shall sende them strong delusion, that they should beleue lyes

¹¹ And therefore God shall sende them strong delusion, that they should beleue lyes

¹⁹ Agaynst an elder receaue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses ²⁰ Them that sinne, rebuke before all, that other also may feare

⁴ And shall turne away their hearyng from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables ⁵ But watche thou in all thynges, suffer afflictions, do the worke of an Euangelist, fulfyll thy ministerie

¹⁴ Folowe peace with all men, and holynesse, without the which, no man shall see the Lorde ¹⁵ Takyng heede that no man fall away from the grace of God, lest any roote of bitternesse spryngyng vp, trouble you, and therby many be defyled

¹ There were false prophetes also among the people, eue as there shalbe false teachers among you, whiche pryuyly shal bryng in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lorde that hath bought them, and bryng vpo them selues swyft damnation

¹⁹ They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: For yf they had ben of vs, they woulde no doubt haue continued with vs: But that it myght appeare that they were not of vs

²⁶ These thynges haue I written vnto you, concerning them that deceaue you ²⁷ And the annoyntyng whiche ye haue receaued of hym dwelleth in you: And ye nede not that any man teach you, but as the same annoynting teacheth you of all thynges, and it is true, and not lying: and as it taught you, ye shall abyde in it

¹⁰ In this are ye children of God knowe, and the chyldren of the deuyll: Whosoeuer doth not ryghteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother

¹ Dearly beloued, beleue not euery spirite: but proue the spirites whether they are of God or not: for many false prophetes are gone out into the worlde

⁴ Litle chyldren, ye are of God, & haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde

²¹ Babes kepe your selues from idols. Amen

¹⁹ These are makers of sectes, fleshlie, hauyng not the spirite

⁹ And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuyll & Satanas, was cast out, which deceaueth all the world: And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with hym

¹³ And he dyd great wonders, so that he made fyre come downe from heauen on the earth in the syght of men ¹⁴ And deceaued them that dwelt on the earth, by the meanes of those signes which he had power to do in the syght of the beast, saying to them that dwelt on the earth, that they shoulde make the image of the beast which had the wounde of a sworde, and dyd lyue

¹⁴ And deceaued them that dwelt on the earth, by the meanes of those signes which he had power to do in the syght of the beast, saying to them that dwelt on the earth, that they shoulde make the image of the beast which had the wounde of a sworde, and dyd lyue

¹⁶ And the ten hornes which thou sawest vpon the beast, are they that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eate her fleshe, and burne her with fire

¹⁸ And cryed, when they sawe the smoke of her burnyng, saying: what citie is lyke vnto this great citie ¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heades, & cryed, wepyng & waylyng, and saying: Alas, alas, that great citie, wherein were made riche all that had shippes in the sea, by reason of her costlynesse, for at one houre is she made desolate ²⁰ Reioyce ouer her thou heauen, and ye holy apostles and prophetes: for God hath geuen your iudgement on her ²¹ And a myghtie angell toke vp a stone lyke a great mylstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With suche violence shall that great citie Babylon be cast, & shalbe founde no more ²² And the voyce of harpers, and musitions, & of pypers, and trumpetters, shall be heard no more in thee, and no craftes man, of whatsoeuer craft he be, shall be founde any more in thee, and the sounde of a myll shall be heard no more in thee ²³ And the lyght of a candle shall shyne no more in thee, and the voyce of the brydegrome and of the bryde shall be hearde no more in thee: for thy marchaunts were the great men of ye earth, and with thyne inchauntment were deceaued all nations ²⁴ And in her was founde the blood of the prophetes, and of the saintes, and of all that were slayne vpon the earth

² For true and ryghteous are his iudgementes, for he hath iudged the great whore which dyd corrupt ye earth with her fornication, and hath auenged the blood of his seruauntes of her hande ³ And agayne they sayde Alleluia: and her smoke rose vp for euermore

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with hym that false prophete that wrought miracles before hym, with which he deceaued them that receaued the beastes marke, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast quicke into a ponde of fire, burnyng with brymstone

³ And cast hym into the bottomlesse pit, and he shut hym vp, and set a seale on hym, that he shoulde deceaue the people no more, tyll the thousande yeres were fulfylled: and after that, he must be loosed for a litle season
