And the LORDE answered him, and sayde: Vp, get the downe to Cegila, for I wil delyuer the Philistynes in to thy hande. ⁵ So Dauid wente with his men vnto Cegila, and foughte agaynst the Philistynes, & droue awaye their catell, and smote them wt a greate slaughter. Thus Dauid delyuered them of Cegila. ⁶ For whan Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled vnto Dauid at Cegila, he bare downe the ouerbody cote with him. ⁷ The was it tolde Saul, that Dauid was come to Cegila, and he sayde: God hath deliuered him in to my hade, for he is shut fast in, now that he is come in to a cite which is kepte wt gates and barres. ⁸ And Saul caused for to call all the people downe to ye battaill vnto Cegila, yt they might besege Dauid and his men. ⁹ But whan Dauid perceaued yt Saul inteded euell against him, he saide vnto Abiathar ye prest: Brynge me hither the ouerbody cote. ¹⁰ And Dauid sayde: O LORDE God of Israel, thy seruaunt hath herde, that Saul goeth aboute to come for to destroye the cite of Cegila for my sake. ¹¹ Shal the citysens of Cegila delyuer me ouer in to his handes? And shal Saul come downe, as thy seruaunt hath herde? Tell thy seruaunt this, O LORDE God of Israel. And the LORDE saide: He shal come downe. ¹² Dauid sayde: Shall the citysens of Cegila delyuer me and my men in to Sauls handes? The LORDE sayde: Yee. ¹³ The Dauid gat him vp with his me, of whom there were vpon a sixe hundreth, & walked whither they coulde. Now whan it was tolde Saul that Dauid was escaped from Cegila, he let his iourney stonde.

³ The childre of Iuda: Er, Onan & Sela: these thre were borne vnto him of ye doughter Sua ye Cananitisse. Howbeit ye first sonne of Iuda was wicked before ye LORDE, & therfore he slewe him.

²⁴ Neuertheles the kynge sayde vnto Arnan: Not so, but for ye full money wyl I bye it: for that which is thine wyl not I take for the LORDE, and offre a burntofferynge for naughte.

⁹ And the staues were so longe, yt the knoppes of them were sene from the Arke before the quere, but on the outsyde were they not sene. And it was there vnto this daye.

⁶ namely Bethlee, Etan, Tekoa,

⁴ Thus he that calleth vpo God, and whom God heareth, is mocked of his neghboure: the godly & innocent man is laughed to scorne.

²⁷ The shalt thou make thy prayer vnto him, & he shal heare the, & thou shalt kepe thy promyses. ²⁸ The, loke what thou takest in honde, he shal make it to prospere with the, and the light shall shyne in thy wayes.

⁴ He asked life of the, & thou gauest him a longe life, eue for euer & euer.

³ For whyle I helde my tonge, my bones consumed awaye thorow my daylie complaynynges. ⁴ And because thy hande was so heuy vpon me both daye and night, my moysture was like the drouth in Sommer. Sela.

⁸ Oh let me heare of ioye and gladnesse, that the bones which thou hast broken, maye reioyse.

¹² O geue me the comforte of thy helpe agayne, and stablish me with thy fre sprete.

¹⁶ In the eueninge, mornynge and at noone daye wil I mourne and complayne: and he shal heare my voyce.

² Thou hearest the prayer, therfore cometh all flesh vnto the.

¹⁹ Therfore God hath herde me, ad considred the voyce off my prayer. ²⁰ Praysed be God, which hath not cast out my prayer, ner turned his mercy fro me.

¹⁷ & shal be grene in the cite, like grasse vpo the earth.

⁵¹ When he made a waye to his fearfull indignacio, and spared not their soules from death, yee and gaue their catell ouer to the pestilence.

⁶ When he eased his shulder from the burthe, & when his hondes were delyuered fro the pottes.

⁶ Moses & Aaron amonge his prestes, & Samuel amonge soch as call vpo his name: these called vpon the LORDE, & he herde the.

²³ Israel also came in to Egipte, and Iacob was a straunger in the lode of Ham.

¹ I am wel pleased, yt the LORDE hath herde ye voyce of my prayer. ² That he hath enclyned his eare vnto me, therfore wil I call vpo him as longe as I lyue. ³ The snares of death copased me rounde aboute, the paynes of hell gat holde vpon me, ⁴ I founde trouble and heuynesse. Then called I vpon ye name of the LORDE: o LORDE, delyuer my soule.

¹⁷³ Let thy hade helpe me, for I haue chosen thy comaudementes.

²² The blessynge of the LORDE maketh rich me, as for carefull trauayle, it doth nothinge therto.

⁸ Remoue fro me vanite and lyes: geue me nether pouerte ner riches, only graunte me a necessary lyuynge.

²⁸ The same yeare that kynge Achas dyed, God threatned by Esay on this maner: ²⁹ Reioyse not (thou whole Palestina) as though ye rod of him yt beateth the were broken: For out of ye serpentes rote, there shal waxe a kockatrice, & the frute shalbe a fyrie worme. ³⁰ But the poore shall fede of the best thinges, and the symple shal dwell in safetie. Thy rotes wil I destroye wt honger, and it shall slaye yi remnaunt. ³¹ Mourne ye portes, wepe ye Cities And feare thou (o whole Palestina) for there shal come fro the North a smoke, whose power no man maye abyde. ³² Who shall then maynteyne the messages of the Gentyles? But the LORDE stablisheth Syon, & the poore of my people shall put their trust in him.

¹⁰ be not afrayde, for I wil be with ye. Lake not behinde ye, for I wil be thy God, to stregth ye, helpe ye, & to kepe ye with this right hode of myne.

¹⁷ When the thurstie and poore seke water & fynde none, & when their tunge is drie of thurst: I geue it them, saieth the LORDE. I the God of Israel forsake them not.

⁴ because thou wast deare in my sight, and because I set by the, and loued the. I pilled all men for the, and delyuered vp all people for thy sake,

³ Thou hast cried vnto me, and I haue herde the: I haue shewed greate and hie thinges, which were vnknowne vnto you.

⁶ Wherfore my indignacion & wrath was kyndled, and it brente vp the cities of Iuda, the feldes with the stretes off Ierusalem: so that they were made waist and desolate, as it is come to passe this daye.

²⁰ Therfore heare the councell of the LORDE, that he hath taken vpon Idumea: & his purpose, that he hath deuysed vpon the citesyns of Theman: The leest of the flocke shal teare them in peces, & loke what fayre thynge they haue, they shal make it waist, & them selues also.

³ Iudas begat Phares & Zara of Thamar: Phares begat Hesrom: Hesrom begat Aram:

¹³ And lede vs not in to teptacion: but delyuer vs from euell. For thyne is the kyngdome, and the power, and the glorye for euer. Amen.

⁷ Axe, and it shalbe geuen you: Seke, and ye shall fynde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you. ⁸ For whosoeuer axeth, receaueth: and he that seketh, fyndeth: and to hym yt knocketh, it shal opened. ⁹ Ys there eny man amonge you, which yf his sonne axed hym bred, wolde offer him a stone? ¹⁰ Or yf he axed fysshe, wolde he proffer hym a serpent? ¹¹ yf ye then which are euell, can geue youre chyldren good gyftes: how moche more shall youre father which is in heauen, geue good thynges to them that axe hym?

⁷⁵ Then thought Peter vpon the wordes of Iesus, which sayde vnto him: before the cock crow, thou shalt denye me thryse. And he wente out, and wepte bytterly.

⁸ Wherfore the same felde is called the bloudfelde vnto this daye.

¹⁵ And they toke the money, and dyd as they were taught. And this sayenge is noysed amonge the Iewes vnto this daye.

³³ Which was the sonne of Aminadab. Which was the sonne of Aram. Which was the sonne of Esrom. Which was the sonne of Phares. Which was the sonne of Iuda.

⁴² and sayde: Yf thou knewest what were for yi peace, thou shuldest remebre it euen in this present daye of thine. But now is it hyd from thine eyes.

²⁸ And I geue the euerlastinge life, & they shal neuer perishe, and noma shal plucke the out of my hande.

¹⁷ He saide vnto him ye thirde tyme: Symon Iohana, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto him, louest thou me? And he sayde vnto him: LORDE, thou knowest all thinges, thou knowest, that I loue ye. Iesus sayde vnto him: Fede my shepe.

²⁶ First vnto you hath God raysed vp his childe Iesus, & sent hi vnto you, to blesse you yt euery one shulde turne fro his wickednesse.

¹¹ (for they were the Eldest amonge the at Thessalonica) which receaued the worde maruelous wyllingly, and searched the scriptures daylie, whether it were euen so.

²⁶ and hath made of one bloude all the generacion of men to dwell vpo all the face of ye earth: and hath assygned borders appoynted before, how longe and farre they shulde dwell,

¹² Here is no difference, nether of the Iewe ner of the Gentyle. For one is LORDE of all, which is riche vnto all yt call vpo him. ¹³ For who so euer shal call vpon the name of the LORDE, shalbe saued. ¹⁴ But how shal they call vpo him, on who they beleue not? How shal they beleue on him, of who they haue not herde? How shal they heare without a preacher?

⁹ Let loue be without dissimulacion. Hate that which is euell: Cleue vnto that which is good.

¹⁹ For youre obedience is published amonge all men, therfore am I glad of you.But yet I wolde haue you wyse in that which is good, & symple in euell.

² vnto the congregacion off God which is at Corinthum, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, sayntes by callinge, with all them that call vpon the name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, in euery place both off theirs and oures.

¹ But I determyned this wt my selfe, that I wolde not come agayne to you in heuynes. ² For yf I make you sory, who is it that shal make me glad, but the same which is made sory by me? ³ And the same haue I wrytten vnto you, lest wha I come, I shulde take heuynes of them, of whom I oughte to reioyse: for somoch as I haue this confidence in you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all. ⁴ For in greate trouble and anguysh of hert wrote I vnto you with many teares: not yt ye shulde be sory, but that ye mighte perceaue the loue, which I haue most specially vnto you. ⁵ But yf eny man haue caused sorowe, the same hath not made me sory, but partely, lest I shulde greue you all. ⁶ It is sufficient, that the same man is so rebuked of many, ⁷ so that from hence forth ye oughte the more to forgeue him and to comforte him, lest he be swalowed vp in ouer moch heuynesse.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs wt all maner of spirituall blessynge in heauenly thynges by Christ

²⁰ Vnto him that is able to do exceadinge abundauntly, aboue all that we axe or vnderstonde (acordinge to ye power that worketh in vs)

³⁰ And greue not the holy sprete of God, wherwith ye are sealed vnto ye daye of redempcion.

¹⁸ And the LORDE shal delyuer me from all euell doynge, and shal kepe me vnto his heauenly kyngdome. To whom be prayse for euer and euer, Amen.

¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke & chasten. Be feruent therfore and repent.
