¹¹ From the rysing of the sunne vnto the going downe of the same my name is great among the gentiles, and in euery place incense shalbe offred to my name, & a pure offering: for my name is great among the very heathen, saith the Lord of hoastes

² But to you that feare my name shall that sunne of righteousnesse aryse, and health shalbe vnder his winges: and ye shall go foorth and skippe lyke fatte calues

²⁹ Take my yoke vpon you and learne of me, for I am meeke & lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules

³⁵ A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bryngeth foorth good thynges: And an euyll man, out of euyll treasure, bryngeth foorth euyll thynges

⁵⁰ For whosoeuer shall do the wyll of my father which is in heauen, the same is my brother, sister, and mother

¹⁰ When Iesus vnderstode that, he saide vnto them: Why trouble ye the woma? for she hath wrought a good worke vppon me

¹² For in that she hath cast this oyntment on my body, she dyd it to bury me

³ And when he was at Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper, euen as he sate at meate, there came a woman hauyng an alabaster boxe of very precious oyntment, [called] Narde pisrike, and she brake the boxe, and powred it on his head

¹ And whe the Sabboth day was past, Marie Magdalen and Marie [the mother] of Iames, & Salome, bought sweete smellynge oyntmentes, that they myght come and annoynt hym

⁹ Accordyng to ye custome of the priestes office, his lot was to burne incence, whe he went into the temple of the Lorde ¹⁰ And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, whyle the incence was burnyng

⁷⁸ Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spryng from an hygh hath visited vs

²² And all bare him witnesse, & wondred at ye gratious wordes whiche proceaded out of his mouth. And they sayde, is not this Iosephes sonne

⁸ The wynde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sounde therof: but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth. So is euery one that is borne of the spirite

²⁹ He that hath ye bride, is the bridegrome. But the friende of the brydegrome, which standeth & heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of ye brydegromes voyce. This my ioy therfore is fulfylled

¹⁰ Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto her: yf thou knewest the gyft of God, & who it is that sayeth to thee geue me drynke, thou wouldest haue asked of hym, and he woulde haue geuen thee water of lyfe

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drynketh of the water that I shall geue hym, shall neuer be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, spryngyng vp into euerlastyng lyfe

⁸ Iesus saith vnto him: Ryse, take vp thy bedde, and walke

³⁸ He that beleueth on me, as saith the scripture, out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe

³ Then toke Marie a pounde of oyntment of Spike narde, very costly, and annoynted Iesus feete, and wyped his feete with her heere: and the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment

²⁶ If any man minister vnto me, let hym folowe me: And where I am, there shall also my minister be. If any man minister vnto me, hym wyll my father honour

¹ I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman ² Euery braunche that beareth not fruite in me, he will take away: And euery braunche that beareth fruite wyll he pourge, that it may bryng foorth more fruite ³ Nowe are ye cleane through the worde which I haue spoken vnto you

⁷ Yf ye byde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, aske what ye wyll, and it shalbe done for you

³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus (whiche at the begynnyng came to Iesus by nyght) and brought of mirre and aloes myngled together, about an hundred pounde [wayght.

¹ And when the day of Pentecost was, they were all with one accorde in one place ² And sodenly there came a sounde fro heauen, as it had ben the commyng of a mightie wynde, and it fylled all the house where they sate

³¹ And assoone as they had prayed, the place moued where they were assembled together, and they were all fylled with the holy ghost, and they spake the worde of God boldely

¹⁶ That I should be the minister of Iesus Christe, to the gentiles, and shoulde minister the Gospell of God, that the offeryng of the gentiles might be acceptable, and sanctified by the holy ghost

²⁸ When I haue perfourmed this, and haue sealed to the this fruite, I wyll come by you into Spayne

¹³ Meates [are ordeyned] for the belly, and the belly for meates: but God shall destroy both it, and them. Nowe the body [is] not for fornication: but for the Lorde, and the Lorde for the body

¹⁹ Knowe ye not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost [whiche is] in you, whom ye haue of God, and ye are not your owne ²⁰ For ye are dearely bought: therefore glorifie God in your body and in your spirite, which are Gods

³⁴ There is difference betweene a virgin and a wyfe: The vnmaryed woman careth for the thinges that are of the Lorde, that she may be holy both in body and in spirite: [Againe] she that is maryed careth for the thinges that pertayne to the world, how she may please her husbande

⁵ Haue we not power to leade about a sister a woman as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas

²¹ And God it is whiche stablysheth vs with you in Christe, and hath annoynted vs ²² Which hath also sealed vs, and hath geuen the earnest of the spirite in our heartes

²² Which hath also sealed vs, and hath geuen the earnest of the spirite in our heartes

¹⁸ But we all behold [as] in a mirrour, the glorie of the Lorde, with his face open, and are chaunged vnto the same similitude, from glorie to glorie, euen as of the spirite of the Lorde

¹⁸ And all thynges are of God, whiche hath reconciled vs vnto hym selfe by Iesus Christe, and hath geuen to vs the ministerie of reconciliation ¹⁹ For God was in Christe, reconciling the worlde to hym selfe, not imputyng their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the preachyng of the atonement ²⁰ Nowe then are we messengers in the rowme of Christe, euen as though God dyd beseche you through vs. So praye we you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled vnto God ²¹ For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, whiche knewe no sinne, that we shoulde be made the ryghteousnesse of God in hym

¹⁰ He that ministreth seede vnto ye sower, ministreth bread also for foode, and multiplieth your seede, and encreaseth the fruites of your ryghteousnesse ¹¹ That in all thynges ye may be made riche into all singlenesse, which causeth through vs, that thankes are geuen vnto God ¹² For the administration of this seruice, not only supplieth ye neede of the saintes: but also is aboundaunt by the thankes geuyng of many vnto God ¹³ Which by the experiment of this ministration, prayse God for the obedience of your consentyng to the Gospell of Christe, and for your singlenesse in distributyng to them, and to all men ¹⁴ And by their prayers for you, which long after you, for the aboundaunt grace of God in you ¹⁵ Thankes be vnto God, for his vnspeakeable gyft

² For I am gelous ouer you, with Godly gelousie: For I haue coupled you to one man, to present [you] a chaste virgin vnto Christe

²² But the fruite of the spirite is, loue, ioye, peace, long sufferyng, gentlenesse, goodnesse, fayth

¹³ In whom also ye, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, the Gospell of your saluation, wherin also after that ye beleued, were sealed with the holy spirite of promyse

¹⁵ But folowyng trueth in loue, let vs growe vp into him in all thynges whiche is the head, Christ ¹⁶ In whom all the body beyng coupled and knit together by euery ioynt of subministration, accordyng to the effectuall power in ye measure of euery part, maketh increase of the body, vnto the edifiyng of it selfe in loue

²⁹ Let no fylthy communication procede out of your mouth, but that whiche is good to edifie withal, as oft as neede is, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers ³⁰ And greeue not the holy spirite of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto the day of redemption

²⁵ Ye husbandes loue your wyues, euen as Christe also loued the Churche, and gaue hym selfe for it ²⁶ To sanctifie it, clensyng [it] in the fountayne of water in the worde ²⁷ To make it vnto hym selfe a glorious Churche, not hauyng spot or wrinckle, or any such thyng: but that it should be holy, and without blame

⁹ And this I pray, that your loue may abounde yet more and more in knowledge, and in all vnderstandyng ¹⁰ That ye maye discerne thynges that differ, that ye maye be pure, and without offence, tyll the day of Christe ¹¹ Beyng fylled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which [are] by Iesus Christ, vnto the glorie and prayse of God

¹¹ Beyng fylled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which [are] by Iesus Christ, vnto the glorie and prayse of God

³ Let nothyng [be done] through stryfe or vayne glorie, but in mekenesse of mynde euery man esteeme one ye other better then hym selfe ⁴ Loke not euery man on his owne thynges, but euery man also on the thynges of others ⁵ Let ye same mynde be in you, which was in Christe Iesus

¹⁸ But I haue receaued al, & haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I had receaued of Epaphroditus the thynges [which were sent] from you, an odoure of a sweete smel, a sacrifice acceptable, plesaunt to God

⁴ Sence we hearde of your fayth in Christe Iesus, and of the loue which [is] to all saintes ⁵ For the hopes sake which is layde vp for you in heauen, of which [hope] ye hearde before, in the worde of trueth of the Gospell ⁶ Which is come vnto you, euen as [it is] into all the worlde, & is fruitfull, as it is also in you, from the day ye hearde [of it] and knewe the grace of God in trueth

⁹ For this cause we also, sence ye day we hearde, haue not ceassed to pray for you, and to desire that ye myght be fulfylled with knowledge of his wyll, in all wisdome & spiritual vnderstandyng 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 ¹¹ Strenthened with all might, through his glorious power, vnto all patience and long sufferyng with ioyfulnesse ¹² Geuyng thankes vnto ye father, which hath made vs meete to be partakers of the inheritaunce of the saintes in lyght

²² In the body of his fleshe, through death, to present you holye, and vnblameable, & without fault in his syght

¹⁹ And holdeth not the head, wherof all the body by ioyntes & bandes supported and knit together, encreaseth with the encrease of God

¹ If ye then be rysen agayne with Christ, seke those things which are aboue, where Christe sitteth on the ryght hande of God ² Set your affection on thynges aboue, not on thinges on the earth

¹⁶ Let the worde of God dwell in you richly in all wisdome, teachyng and admonisshyng your owne selues, in psalmes, and hymmes, and spirituall songes, singyng with grace in your heartes to the Lorde ¹⁷ And whatsoeuer ye do in worde or deede, [do] all in the name of the Lorde Iesus, geuyng thankes to God and the father by hym

⁶ Let your speache be alway in grace, powdered with salt, to knowe howe ye ought to aunswere euery man

¹² That ye woulde walke worthie of God, who hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorie ¹³ For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because ye receauyng the worde which ye hearde of vs concernyng God, ye receaued it not as the worde of man, (but as it is in deede) the worde of God, which effectuously worketh also in you that beleue

¹³ For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because ye receauyng the worde which ye hearde of vs concernyng God, ye receaued it not as the worde of man, (but as it is in deede) the worde of God, which effectuously worketh also in you that beleue

¹¹ For both he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, [are] all of one. For which cause, he is not ashamed to call them brethren ¹² Saying: I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddes of the Churche wyll I prayse thee ¹³ And agayne: I wyll put my trust in hym. And agayne: Beholde here am I, and the chyldren whiche God hath geuen me ¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the chyldren are partakers of flesshe and blood, he also hym selfe lykewyse toke part with the, that through death he myght expell hym that had lordship ouer death, that is the deuyll

¹⁹ For when Moyses had spoken euery precept to all the people according to the lawe, takyng the blood of Calues and of Goates, with water & purple wooll and ysope, he sprynkled both the booke it selfe, and all the people

¹⁵ By hym therfore, do we offer sacrifice of laude alwayes to God: that is, the fruite of lippes confessyng his name

²⁰ The God of peace, that brought agayne from the dead our Lorde Iesus the great sheephearde of the sheepe, through the blood of the euerlasting couenaunt ²¹ Make you perfect in all good workes to do his wyll, workyng in you that which is pleasaunt in his sight, through Iesus Christe, to whom be prayse for euer and euer. Amen

⁵ Which are kept by the power of God through fayth vnto saluation, which is prepared alredie to be shewed in the last tyme

² And as newe borne babes, desire ye ye milke of the worde, which is without deceipt: that ye may growe therby [vnto saluatio

⁵ And ye as lyuely stones, be you made a spirituall house, an holy priesthood, for to offer vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe

⁹ But ye are a chosen generation, a royall priesthood, an holy nation, a peculier people: that ye should shewe foorth the vertues of hym that called you out of darknesse into his marueylous lyght ¹⁰ Which in time past were not a people, but are nowe the people of God: which sometime had not obteyned mercy, but nowe haue obteyned mercy

⁵ And herevnto geue all diligence: in your fayth minister vertue, in vertue knowledge ⁶ In knowledge temperaunce, in temperaunce pacience, in pacience godlynesse ⁷ In godlynesse brotherly kyndnesse, in brotherly kyndnesse loue ⁸ For yf these thynges be among you, and be plenteous, they wyll make you that ye neither shalbe idle nor vnfruitefull in the knowledge of our Lorde Iesus Christe

¹⁹ We haue also a ryght sure worde of prophesie, wherevnto yf ye take heede, as vnto a lyght that shyneth in a darke place, ye do well, vntyll the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your heartes

¹⁴ Wherfore dearely beloued, seyng that ye loke for such thynges, be diligent that ye may be founde of hym in peace, without spot, and vndefyled

¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lorde and sauiour Iesus Christe, to whom be glorie both nowe and for euer. Amen

⁸ Agayne, a newe commaundement I write vnto you, that is true in hym, and [the same is true] also in you: For the darkenesse is past, and the true lyght nowe shyneth

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you free from sinne, and to present you faultlesse before the presence of his glory with ioy

⁸ And when he had taken the booke, the foure beastes and 24 elders fell downe before the lambe, hauyng euery one of them harpes, and golden vyals full of odours, which are the prayers of saintes

³ Saying: Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, neither the trees, tyll we haue sealed the seruautes of our God in their foreheades

¹³ And synamon, and odours, and oyntmentes, and frankensence, and wine, and oyle, and fine floure, and wheate, & beastes, and sheepe, and horses, & charrets, and bodies, and soules of men

⁷ Let vs be glad, & reioyce, & geue honor to hym: for the mariage of the lambe is come, & his wyfe made her selfe redy ⁸ And to her was graunted that she should be arayed with pure and goodly raynes: For the raynes is the ryghteousnes of saintes

² And I Iohn sawe the holy citie newe Hierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bride garnisshed for her husbande

⁹ And there came vnto me one of the seuen angels whiche had the seuen vyals full of the seuen last plagues, and talked with me, saying: Come hyther, I wyll shewe thee the bryde, the lambes wyfe ¹⁰ And he caryed me away in the spirite to a great and an hye mountayne, and he shewed me the great citie holy Hierusalem, descendyng out of heauen fro God

²⁷ And there shall enter into it none vncleane thyng, neither whatsoeuer worketh abhomination, or maketh lyes: but they only which are written in the lambes booke of lyfe

¹ And he shewed me a pure ryuer of water of lyfe, cleare as Cristall, proceadyng out of the throne of god, and of the lambe

¹⁶ I Iesus sent myne angell, to testifie vnto you these thynges in ye Churches. I am the roote and the generation of Dauid, and the bryght mornyng starre
