³⁰ Therfore he sayde vnto his seruauntes: Behold, Ioab hath a field by my place, & he hath barlye therin: Go, & set it on fyre. And Absaloms seruauntes set it on fire ³¹ Then Ioab arose, and came to Absalom vnto his house, and sayd vnto him: Wherfore haue thy seruauntes burnt my fielde with fire

⁴² And the king sent & called Semei, and said vnto him: Did I not charge thee by the Lorde with an oth, & testified vnto thee, saying: Be sure, that whensoeuer thou goest out & walkest abroade any whyther, thou shalt bye the death? And thou saydest vnto me: It is good tydinges that I haue heard ⁴³ Why then hast thou not kept the oth of the Lorde, and the commaundement that I charged thee withall

³¹ If any man trespasse against his neyghbour, & there go an oth betweene them, and the one compel the other, and come, swearing before thyne aulter in this house

¹ And there cryed a certayne woman of the wyues of the sonnes of the prophetes, vnto Elisa, saying: Thy seruaunt my husband is dead, & thou knowest that thy seruaunt did feare the Lorde: And the creditor is come to fet my two sonnes to be his bondmen

⁷ Then she came and tolde the man of God: And he sayde, Go, and sell the oyle, and pay them that thou art in debt vnto: but lyue thou and thy children of the rest

⁴² There came a man from Baal Salisa, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruites, euen twentie loaues of barlye, & full eares of corne in the huske: And he said, Geue vnto the people, that they may eate

⁴ Of which twentie and foure thousand were set to further the worke of the house of the Lorde: and sixe thousande were officers and iudges

¹⁰ What cause soeuer come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, betweene blood and blood, betweene lawe and commaundemet, betweene statutes and ordinaunces: ye shall warne them that they trespasse not against ye Lorde, and so wrath come vpon you and your brethren: Thus do, & ye shal not offende

⁹ For if ye turne againe vnto the Lorde, then shall your brethren and your children finde compassion in the presence of them that toke them captiue, and they shall come againe vnto this lande: For the Lorde your God is gratious and mercifull, and wyll not turne away his face from you, if ye conuert vnto him

⁵ And assoone as the kinges commaundement came abrode, the children of Israel brought aboudance of first fruites, of corne, wine, oyle, hony, and of all maner of fruites of the fielde, & the tythes of all maner of thinges brought they in plenteously

² For there were some that saide, Our sonnes and daughters and we are very many: therefore wyll we take corne for them, that we may eate and liue ³ Some also there were that saide: Let vs set our landes, vineyardes, and houses to pledge, and take vp corne in the dearth ⁴ But some there were that saide: We haue borowed money for the kinges tribute, and that vpon our landes & vineyardes

⁴ But some there were that saide: We haue borowed money for the kinges tribute, and that vpon our landes & vineyardes ⁵ And now our fleshe is as the fleshe of our brethren, and our children as their children: and loe we bring into subiection our sonnes and our daughters as seruauntes, and some of our daughters are subdued vnto bondage alredie, and no strength is there in our handes to redeeme them, and other men haue our landes and vineyardes

⁷ And I aduised so in my minde, that I rebuked the counsellers and the rulers, and saide vnto them: Euery one of you layeth great burdens vpon his brother. And I brought a great congregation against them

¹⁰ I and my brethren, and my seruauntes, do lende them money and corne: I pray you let vs leaue of this burden ¹¹ Therefore this same day I pray you see that ye restore them their landes againe, their vineyardes, olyue gardens, and their houses, and remit the hundred parte of the money, of the corne, wine, and oyle that ye haue exacted of them

¹⁸ The thing he hath laboured for, shall he restore, and shall not eate of it: great trauaile shall he make for riches, but he shall not enioy them

⁶ For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothing

³ They driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, and take the wydowes oxe for a pledge

⁹ They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take the pledge from the poore

¹⁴ The murtherer ryseth early and killeth the poore and needy, and in the night is as a thiefe

¹³ Saying: This is the portion that the wicked haue of God, and the heritage that tyrauntes shall receaue of the almightie ¹⁴ If he get many children, they shall perishe with the sworde, and his posteritie shall haue scarcenesse of bread ¹⁵ His remnaunt shalbe buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe

⁵ And when they were dryuen foorth, men cryed after them as it had ben afafter a thiefe

²³ For I haue euer feared the vengeaunce and punishment of God, and [knewe very well that] I was not able to beare his burthen

³⁸ But if case be that my lande crye against me, or that the forowes thereof make any complaynt ³⁹ If I haue eaten the fruites therof vnpayed for, yea if I haue greeued the soules of the maisters therof

²⁸ Insomuch that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and now he heareth the complaint of such as are in trouble

⁹ They which are oppressed crye out vpon the multitude, yea they crye out for the power of the mightie

¹⁷ O God, thou hast hearde the desire of the afflicted: [and] thou wylt settle their heart ¹⁸ Thou wylt be attentiue with thyne eare, to geue iudgement for the fatherlesse and oppressed: [so] no man in the earth shall once go about hereafter to do them violence

⁵ (15:6) He that geueth not his money vpon vsurie: nor taketh rewarde agaynst the innocent. (15:7) He that doth these thynges: shall neuer at any tyme be remoued

⁶ (18:5) But in this my distresse I dyd call vppon God, and I made my complaynt vnto my Lorde: he hearde my voyce out of his temple, and my crye came before his face, euen vnto his eares

⁶ For this shall euery one that is godly make his prayer vnto thee in the time when thou mayest be founde: so that in the great water fluddes they shal not come nye hym

⁶ [Lo] this same poore man hath cryed: and God hath hearde hym, and saued hym out of all his troubles

²¹ The vngodly boroweth and payeth not agayne: but the righteous geueth mercifully and liberally

²⁴ (69:23) Powre out thine indignation vpon them: and let thy wrathfull displeasure take holde of them

¹² For he wyll delyuer the poore when he cryeth: and the afflicted and hym that hath no helper

⁷ Thou, euen thou art dreadfull: and who may stande in thy syght when thou [begynnest] to be angry

⁶³ Fire consumed his young men: and his maydens were not maryed ⁶⁴ His priestes were slayne with the sworde: and his wydowes made no lamentation

¹ God standeth in the congregation of God: he iudgeth in the midst of God

¹ God standeth in the congregation of God: he iudgeth in the midst of God 2 Howe long wyll ye geue wrong iudgement: and accept the persons of the vngodly? Selah ³ Iudge ryght vnto the poore and fatherlesse: dispatch according to iustice suche as be afflicted and in necessitie ⁴ Deliuer the poore and outcast: saue them from the hande of the vngodly ⁵ They knowe nothyng, they vnderstande nothing: they walke on styll in darknesse, [wherfore] all the foundations of the earth be out of course ⁶ I haue sayde ye are gods: and ye all are chyldren of the most highest ⁷ But ye shall dye lyke as a man [doth:] and princes them selues shall fall away lyke as other [do.

¹⁵ But thou O Lorde art a God full of compassion and mercy: long yet thou be angry, plenteous in goodnes and trueth

¹¹ Who regardeth the force of thy wrath? for euen there after as a man feareth thee, so [feeleth he] thy displeasure

⁶ They murther the wyddowe and the straunger: & put the fatherlesse to death ⁷ And they say, tushe the Lorde seeth it not: neither doth the God of Iacob vnderstande it

⁹ Let his chyldren be fatherlesse: and his wyfe a wydowe

¹⁰ Who smote Egypt with their first borne: for his mercy endureth for euer ¹¹ And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for euer

¹ I wyll geue thankes vnto thee O God with my whole heart: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee before the gods

¹² I am sure that God wyll dispatche the cause of the afflicted: and he wyll geue iudgement for the needy

¹⁹ He wyll fulfyll the desire of them that feare hym: he will also heare their crye, and he wyll saue them

⁷ God looseth those that be bounde: God geueth syght to the blynde ⁸ God rayseth them vp that are falling: God loueth the ryghteous ⁹ God taketh strangers into his custodie, he releeueth the fatherlesse and the widdowe: as for the way of the vngodlye he turneth it vpsyde downe

⁹ Honour the Lorde with thy substaunce, and with the firstlynges of all thyne encrease ¹⁰ So shall thy barnes be filled with plenteousnesse, and thy presses shall flowe ouer with sweete wine

³⁰ Men do not vtterly despise a thiefe that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hungrie ³¹ But if he may be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as muche, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house

³¹ But if he may be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as muche, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house

⁴ Where no oxen are, there the cribbe is emptie: but much encrease commeth by the toyle of the oxe

¹⁶ Take his garment that is suretie for a straunger: and take a pledge of hym for the vnknowen sake

²² Rob not the poore, because he is poore: and oppresse not the simple in iudgement ²³ For the Lorde him selfe wyll defende their cause, and do violence vnto them that haue vsed violence

²⁷ For if thou hast nothing to pay, they shall take away thy bed from vnder thee

¹⁰ Remoue not the olde lande marke, and come not within the fielde of the fatherlesse ¹¹ For their redeemer is mightie, euen he shall defend their cause against thee

⁸ He that by vsurie and vniust gaynes gathereth riches: he shall lay them in store for a man that will pitie the poore

⁹ Lest peraduenture I beyng full, shoulde denie thee, and say, who is the Lorde? or beyng oppressed with pouertie fall to stealyng, and forswere the name of my God

²⁰ Wishe the king no euil in thy thought, and speake no hurt of the riche in thy priuie chaumber: for a byrde of the ayre shall betray thy voyce, and with her fethers shall she bewray thy wordes

¹⁷ Learne to do well, applie your selues to equitie, deliuer the oppressed, helpe the fatherlesse to his ryght, let the widdowes complaynt come before you

²³ Thy princes are wicked, and companions of theeues: they loue gyftes altogether, and gape for rewardes: As for the fatherlesse they helpe hym not to his ryght, neither wyll they let the widdowes causes come before them

² Where thorowe the poore are put from their right, and my seelie people robbed of iudgement, that wydowes may be their pray, and that they may rob the fatherlesse

³ The mynde also of Egypt shalbe cleane without counsayle within it selfe, and the deuice that they take wil I destroy: and they shall seke counsayle at idols and at sorcerers, at workers with spirites, and at soothsayers

²⁰ And it shalbe a token and a witnesse vnto the Lorde of hostes in the lande of Egypt: For they shal crie vnto the Lord because of such as trouble them, and he shall sende them a sauiour and a great man to delyuer them

² Comfort Hierusalem at the heart, and tell her, that her trauayle is at an ende, that her offence is pardoned, that she hath receaued at the Lordes hande sufficient correction for all her sinnes

¹ Thus saith the Lorde: Where is the byll of your mothers deuorcement whom I sent away? or who is the vsurer to whom I solde you? Beholde, for your offences are ye solde, and because of your transgression is your mother forsaken

²⁶ Lyke as a theefe that is taken with the deede, commeth to shame: euen so is the house of Israel come to confusion, the common people, their kynges and rulers, their priestes and prophetes

⁶ Oppresse not the straunger, the fatherlesse, and the widowe, shed not innocent blood in this place, cleaue not to straunge gods to your owne destruction

⁸ I haue made their widowes mo in number then the sandes of the sea, vpon the mothers of their children dyd I bryng a destroyer in the noone day: sodaynly and vnawares did I sende a feare vpon their cities

¹⁰ O mother, alas that thou euer didst beare me, a brawler and rebuker of the whole lande: though I neuer lent nor receaued vpon vsurie, yet all men speake euyll vpon me

¹⁸ But first wyll I sufficiently rewarde their shameful blasphemies and sinnes, because they haue defiled my lande with their stinckyng carions and their abhominations, wherwith they haue filled mine heritage

²¹ Therfore, let their children dye of hunger, and let them be oppressed with the sworde: Let their wiues be robbed of their children, and become widowes, let their husbandes be slayne, let their young men be kylled with the sworde in the fielde

³ Thus the Lord comaundeth: Kepe equitie and righteousnesse, deliuer the oppressed from the power of the violent, do not greeue nor oppresse the straunger, the fatherlesse, nor the widowe, and shed no innocent blood in this place

³ We are become carefull and fatherlesse, and our mothers are as the wydowes

¹⁴ Then sayde I, Oh Lorde God: beholde, my soule was yet neuer stayned, for fro my youth vp vnto this houre, I did neuer eate of a dead carkase, or of that whiche was slayne of wylde beastes, neither came there euer any vncleane fleshe in my mouth

⁷ Neither hath oppressed any man, but hath restored to the detter his pledge: he that hath not spoyled any by violence, hath geuen his bread to the hungry, and hath clothed the naked ⁸ And hath not geuen foorth vpon vsurie, neither taken any encrease, he hath withdrawne his hande from iniquitie, and hath executed true iudgement betweene man and man

¹³ Or hath geuen foorth vpon vsurie, or hath taken encrease: Shall this man liue? he shall not liue: Seeing he hath done al these abhominations he shal die the death, his blood shalbe vpon hym

¹⁶ Neither hath oppressed any, nor hath withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence: [but] hath geuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment ¹⁷ Neither hath withdrawen his hande from the afflicted, nor receaued vsurie nor encrease, [but] hath executed my iudgementes, and walked in my statutes: this man shall not dye in his fathers sinne, but shall liue without fayle

⁴⁰ For vpon my holy hyll, euen vpon the hye hyll of Israel saith the Lord God, shall all the house of Israel, and all that is in the lande worship me: and in the same place wyll I fauour them, & there wyll I require your heaue offerynges, and the firstlinges of your oblations, with all your holy thinges

⁷ In thee haue they dispised father and mother, in thee haue they oppressed the straunger, in thee haue they vexed the widowe and the fatherlesse

¹² Yea giftes haue ben receaued in thee to shed blood, thou hast taken vsurie and encrease, thou hast oppressed thy neighbours by extortion, and forgotten me, saith the Lorde God

¹⁵ Insomuch that the same wicked man geueth the pledge againe, restoreth that he had take away by robbery, walketh in the commaundementes of lyfe, and doth none iniquitie: then shall he surely lyue and not dye

³¹ But the priestes shal eate nothing that is dead [by it selfe] or torne of foule or of beaste

¹ When I vndertoke to make Israel whole, then the vngraciousnesse of Ephraim, and the wickednes of Samaria came to light, for thei go about with lyes, therfore the theefe robbeth within, and the spoyler destroyeth without

⁹ They shall runne to and fro in the citie, they shall runne vp & downe vpon the wall, they shall climbe into the houses, they shall enter in at the windowes like a theefe

⁸ And they lye vpon clothes layde to pledge by euery aulter: and in the house of their god, they drinke the wine of the condempned

¹² Thus sayth the Lorde, As the sheephearde taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legges or a peece of an eare: so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria, in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus [as in] a couche

⁸ Yea the residue of Iacob shalbe among the gentiles and the multitude of people, as the lion among the beastes of the wood, and as the lions whelpe among the flockes of sheepe: which whe he goeth through, treadeth downe, teareth in peeces, and there is no man that can deliuer

¹ Wo is me, I am become as one that goeth a gleanyng in the haruest: there are no mo grapes to eate, yet would I faine with al my hearte haue of the best fruite

⁶ Who can stande before his wrath? or who can rise vp before the anger of his countenaunce, his fiercenesse is powred out like fire, yea the rockes cleaue in peeces at his might

¹² The lion made his praye aboundauntly for his whelpes, and strangled for his she lions, and hath filled his dennes with pray, and his abyding places with spoyle

¹⁰ Do the wydow, the fatherlesse, the straungers and poore no wrong, and let no man imagine euil against his brother in his heart

¹⁰ For before these dayes neither men nor cattaile could winne any thing, neither might any man come in and out in reste for trouble: but I let euery man go against his neighbour

⁵ And I wyl come neare to you in iudgement, and I wyll be a swyft witnesse against the soothsayers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that wrongfully keepe backe the hirelynges wages, and vexe the widowe and the fatherlesse, and oppresse the straunger, and feare not me, saith the Lorde of hoastes

⁴² Geue to hym that asketh thee: & from hym that woulde borowe of thee, turne not thou away

¹⁴ For, yf ye forgeue men theyr trespasses, your heauenly father shall also forgeue you ¹⁵ But, yf ye forgeue not men theyr trespasses: no more shall your father, forgeue [you] your trespasses

¹⁹ Hoorde not vp for your selues, treasures vpon earth, where the moth and rust doth corrupt, and where theeues breake through, and steale ²⁰ But laye vp for you, treasures in heauen, where neyther moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where theeues do not breake through, nor steale

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

¹⁵ Moreouer, yf thy brother trespas agaynst thee, go and tell hym his faulte betwene thee and hym alone: If he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother

²⁵ But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his Lorde commaunded hym to be solde, and his wyfe, and chyldren, and all that he had, and payment to be made

³⁵ So lykewyse, shall my heauenly father do also vnto you, yf ye from your heartes, forgeue not, euery one his brother, their trespasses

⁴³ Of this yet be sure, that yf the good man of the house, knewe what watche the thiefe woulde come, he woulde surely watche, and not suffer his house to be broken vp

²⁷ Thou oughtest therfore to haue delyuered my money to the exchaungers, and then at my commyng shoulde I haue receaued myne owne with vauntage

³⁵ But loue ye your enemies, & do good, and lende, lokyng for nothyng agayne: and your rewarde shalbe great, and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde, & to the euyll

³⁸ Geue, and it shalbe geuen vnto you: good measure, pressed downe, & shaken together, and runnyng ouer, shall men geue into your bosomes. For with the same measure that ye meate withall, shall other men meate to you agayne

⁴⁸ But he that knewe not, and did comit thynges worthy of strypes, shalbe beaten with fewe strypes. For vnto whosoeuer much is geuen, of him shalbe much required: and to whom men haue committed much, of hym wyl they aske the more

¹¹ So then, yf ye haue not ben faythfull in the vnryghteous Mammon, who shall trust you in the true treasure

³ Take heede to your selues: If thy brother trespasse agaynst thee, rebuke hym: and yf he repent, forgeue hym ⁴ And though he sinne agaynst thee seuen tymes in a day, and seuen tymes in a day turne agayne to thee, saying, it repenteth me: thou shalt forgeue hym

⁷ And shall not God auenge his elect, which crye day and nyght vnto hym? yea, though he deferre them

⁸ And Zache stoode foorth, and sayde vnto the Lorde: Beholde Lorde, the halfe of my goodes I geue to the poore, and yf I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde

²³ And wherfore gauest not thou my money into the banke, and at my commyng I myght haue required myne owne with vauntage

³⁴ Iesus aunswered them: Is it not written in your lawe, I sayde, ye are Gods ³⁵ If he called them Gods, vnto whom the worde of God was spoken, and the scripture can not be broken

⁶ This he sayde, not that he cared for the poore: but because he was a thiefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geuen

⁹ But there was a certayne man called Simon, which beforetyme in the same citie vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was a man that coulde do great thynges ¹⁰ Whom they regarded from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God ¹¹ And hym they sette much by, because that of long tyme he had bewitched the with sorseries

¹⁴ But Peter sayde, Not so Lorde: For I haue neuer eaten any thyng that is common or vncleane

²⁰ But that we write vnto them, that they absteyne themselues from fylthynesse of idols, and fro fornication, and from strangled, and from blood

¹⁶ And it came to passe, as we went to prayer, a certayne damsell, possessed with a spirite of southsaying met vs: which brought her maisters much vantage with southsaying ¹⁷ The same folowed Paul and vs, and cryed, saying: These men are the seruauntes of the most hye God, which shewe vnto vs the way of saluation ¹⁸ And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not content, turned about, & sayde to the spirite, I commaunde thee in the name of Iesu Christe, that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre ¹⁹ And when her maisters sawe that the hope of their gaynes was gone, they caught Paul & Silas, and drewe them into the market place, vnto the rulers

¹⁹ Many also of the whiche vsed curious craftes, brought their bookes, & burned them before all men, and they counted the price of them, & founde it fiftie thousande peeces of syluer

³ Then sayde Paul vnto him: God shall smite thee thou paynted wall: For, sittest thou & iudgest me after the lawe, & comaundest me to be smitten contrary to the lawe

⁵ Then sayde Paul: I wyst not brethren, that he was the hye priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not curse the ruler of thy people

⁵ But thou after thy stubbernnesse and heart that can not repent, heapest vnto thy selfe wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and declaration of the righteous iudgement of God ⁶ Which wyl rewarde euery man accordyng to his deedes ⁷ To them, whiche by continuyng in well doyng seke for glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, eternall lyfe ⁸ But vnto them that are contentious, & that do not obey the trueth, but obey vnrighteousnes [shall come] indignation, and wrath ⁹ Tribulation, and anguishe, vpon euery soule of man that doeth euyll, of the Iewe first, and also of the Greke

²³ Not only [they], but we also which haue the first fruites of the spirite, and we our selues mourne in our selues, and wayte for the adoption, euen the deliueraunce of our body

² Whosoeuer therfore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God: And they that resist, shall receaue to the selues dampnation ³ For rulers are not fearefull to good workes, but to the euyll. Wylt thou not feare the power? Do well, and thou shalt haue prayse of the same ⁴ For he is the minister of God for thy wealth. But yf thou do euyll, feare: For he beareth not the sworde in vayne, for he is the minister of God, reuenger of wrath on hym that doth euyll ⁵ Wherfore, ye must needes be subiect, not only for feare of punishment: but also because of conscience ⁶ And for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are Gods ministers, seruyng for the same purpose ⁷ Geue to euery man therfore his dutie, tribute to whom tribute, custome to whom custome, feare to whom feare, honour to whom honour [belongeth.

¹⁰ Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunckardes, nor cursed speakers, nor pyllers, shall inherite the kingdome of God

²⁰ Worshippyng of images, witchcrafte, hatred, variaunce, zeale, wrath, strife, seditions, sectes

² For ye your selues knowe perfectlye that the day of the Lord shall so come euen as a theefe in the nyght

¹² For the which cause I also suffer these thynges. Neuerthelesse, I am not ashamed: For I knowe whom I haue beleued, and I am perswaded that he is able to kepe that which I haue committed to hym, agaynst that day

¹ Warne them to be subiect to rule & power, to obey magistrates, to be redie to euery good worke ² To blaspheme no man, to be no fyghters, [but] gentle, shewyng all mekenesse vnto all men

¹⁶ For men veryly sweare by the greater, and an oth for confirmation, is to them an ende of all stryfe

³¹ It is a fearefull thyng to fall into the handes of the lyuyng God

¹⁸ Of his owne wyll begat he vs with the worde of trueth, that we shoulde be the first fruites of his creatures

²⁷ Pure deuotion and vndefyled before God and the father, is this: To visite the fatherlesse and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to kepe hymselfe vnspotted of the worlde

⁴ Beholde, the hire of labourers, which haue reaped downe your fieldes, which hire is of you kept backe by fraude, cryeth: and the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred into the eares of the Lorde Sabaoth

¹⁵ But as he which called you is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersation ¹⁶ Because it is written, be ye holy, for I am holy

¹⁷ Honour all men. Loue brotherly felowship. Feare God. Honour the kyng

¹⁰ But chiefely them that walke after the fleshe in the lust of vncleanenesse, and despise auctoritie. Presumptious are they, and stande in their owne conceyte, whiche feare not to speake euyl of them that excell in worship

⁸ Lykewyse, these beyng deceaued by dreames, defyle the flesh, despise rulers, and speake euyll of them that are in aucthoritie

⁶ Rewarde her euen as she rewarded you, and geue her double accordyng to her workes, and powre in double to her in the same cuppe which she fylled vnto you

¹⁵ For without shalbe dogges, and inchaunters, and whoremongers, and murtherers, and idolaters, and whosoeuer loueth or maketh leasynges
