¹⁶ Let no man therfore trouble youre consciences aboute meate or drynke, or for a pece of an holy daye, as the holy daye of ye newe Mone, or of the Sabbath dayes,

² Speake vnto ye childre of Israel, and saye: These are the beestes which ye shal eate amoge all ye beestes vpo earth: ³ What so euer hath hoffe, & deuydeth it in to two clawes, & cheweth cud amonge the beestes, that shal ye eate. ⁴ But loke what cheweth cud & hath hoffe, & deuydeth it not, as the Camell, the same is vncleane vnto you, & ye shal not eate it. ⁵ The Conyes chewe cud, but they deuyde not the hoffe in to two clawes, therfore are they vncleane vnto you. ⁶ The Hare cheweth cud also, but deuydeth not ye hoffe in to two clawes, therfore is he vncleane vnto you. ⁷ And the Swyne deuydeth ye hoffe in to two clawes, but cheweth not the cud, therfore is it vncleane vnto you. ⁸ Of the flesh of these shall ye not eate, ner touch their carcases, for they are vncleane vnto you. ⁹ These shall ye eate of all that are in the waters: What so euer hath fynnes and scales in the waters, sees & ryuers, that shal ye eate. ¹⁰ But what so euer hath not fynnes and scales in the sees and ryuers, amonge all yt moue in the waters, & of all that lyue in the waters, it shalbe an abhominacion vnto you, ¹¹ so that ye eate not of their flesh, and that ye abhorre their carcases. ¹² For all that haue not fynnes & scales in the waters, shall ye abhorre. ¹³ And these shal ye abhorre amonge ye foules, so that ye eate them not: The Aegle, the Goshauke, the Cormoraunte, ¹⁴ the Vultur, ye Ryce, and all his kynde, ¹⁵ and all Rauens wt their kynde: ¹⁶ the Estrich, ye Nightcrow, the Cocow, the Sparow hauke with his kynde, ¹⁷ the litle Oule, the Storke, the greate Oule, ¹⁸ ye Backe, the Pellycane, the Swanne, the Pye, ¹⁹ the Heron, ye Iaye with his kynde, the Lapwynge, and ye Swalowe. ²⁰ And whatsoeuer crepeth amonge the foules, and goeth vpon foure fete, shalbe an abhominacio vnto you. ²¹ Yet these shal ye eate of the foules that crepe and go vpon foure fete: euen those that haue no knyes aboue vpon ye legges, to hoppe withall vpon earth. ²² Of these maye ye eate, as there is the Arbe with his kynde, and the Selaam with his kynde, & the Hargol with his kynde, & the Hagab wt his kynde. ²³ But what so euer els hath foure fete amonge the foules, it shalbe an abhominacion vnto you, ²⁴ and ye shal take it for vncleane. Who so euer toucheth the carcase of soch, shall be vncleane vntill ye euen: ²⁵ and who so euer beareth the carcase of eny of these, shall wash his clothes, and shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen. ²⁶ Therfore euery beest that hath hoffe, and deuydeth it not in to two clawes, & cheweth not cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you. Who so euer toucheth soch, shalbe vncleane. ²⁷ And what so euer goeth vpon handes amonge ye beestes that go vpon foure fete, shalbe vncleane vnto you. Who so euer toucheth the carcases of the, shalbe vncleane vntyll euen. ²⁸ And he yt beareth their carcase, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll the eue: For soch are vncleane vnto you. ²⁹ These shalbe vncleane vnto you also, amonge the beestes that crepe vpon earth: ye Wesell, the Mouse, the Tode, euery one with his kynde, ³⁰ the Hedgehogge, the Stellio, the Lacerte, the Snale, and the Moule, ³¹ these are vncleane vnto you amonge all that crepe. Who so euer toucheth the deed carcase of the, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen. ³² And what so euer eny soch deed carcase falleth vpon, it shalbe vncleane, what so euer vessell of wodd it be, or rayment, or skynne, or bagge. And euery vessell that eny thinge is occupyed with all, shalbe put in the water, and is vncleane vntyll the euen, and then shal it be cleane. ³³ All maner of earthen vessell that eny soch carcase falleth in to, shal all be vncleane that therin is, & ye shal breake it. ³⁴ All meate which is eate, that eny soch water commeth in to, is vncleane: & all maner of drynke that is dronke in all maner of soch vessell, is vncleane. ³⁵ And what so euer eny soch carcase falleth vpo, it shalbe vncleane, whether it be ouen or kettell, so shal it be broke, for it is vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you: ³⁶ Neuertheles the fountaynes, welles, & poundes of water are cleane. But who so euer toucheth their carcases, is vncleane. ³⁷ And though the deed carcase of eny soch fell vpon the sede that is sowne, yet is it cleane. ³⁸ But whan there is water poured vpon the sede, and afterwarde eny soch deed carcase falleth theron, then shall it be vncleane vnto you. ³⁹ Whan a beest dyeth that ye maye eate, he that toucheth the deed carcase therof, is vncleane vntyll euen. ⁴⁰ Who so eateth of eny soch carcase, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. Likewyse he that beareth eny soch carcase, shal wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. ⁴¹ What so euer crepeth vpon earth, shall be an abhominacion vnto you, and shall not be eaten. ⁴² And what so euer crepeth vpon ye bely, or all that goeth vpon foure or mo fete, amoge all that crepeth vpon earth, shall ye not eate, for it shalbe an abhominacion vnto you. ⁴³ Make not youre soules abhominable, and defyle you not in them, to stayne youre selues: ⁴⁴ for I am the LORDE youre God. Therfore shal ye sanctifie youre selues, that ye maye be holy, for I am holy. And ye shal not defyle youre selues on eny maner of crepynge beest, that crepeth vpon earth: ⁴⁵ for I am the LORDE, which brought you out of the londe of Egipte, that I might be youre God: therfore shal ye be holy, for I am holy. ⁴⁶ This is the lawe ouer ye beestes and foules, & all maner of soules of crepynge beestes in the waters, and all maner of soules yt crepe vpon earth: ⁴⁷ that ye maie knowe to discerne what is vncleane & cleane, and what maner of beestes are to be eaten, and which are not to be eaten.

³¹ therfore shall it be a fre Sabbath vnto you, and ye shal humble youre soules. Let this be a perpetuall lawe.

¹⁰ And what man so euer it be (either of the house of Israel, or a straunger amonge you) that eateth eny maner of bloude, agaynst him wyll I set my face, and wil rote him out from amonge his people: ¹¹ for the soule of ye body is in the bloude, and I haue geuen it you for the altare, that youre soules maye be reconcyled ther with: ¹² For the bloude that is in the soule maketh attonement. Therfore haue I sayde vnto the children of Israel: No soule amonge you shall eate bloude, no ner eny straunger that dwelleth amonge you. ¹³ And what man so euer it be amonge you (whether he be of the house of Israel, or a straunger amoge you) that at the huntynge taketh a beest or foule which maye be eaten, he shall poure out the bloude of the same, & couer it with earth: ¹⁴ for all flesh lyueth in the bloude. And I haue sayde vnto the children of Israel: Ye shall eate the bloude of no body: for the life of all flesh is in his bloude. Who so euer eateth it, shalbe roted out. ¹⁵ And what so euer soule eateth that which dyed alone, or yt was torne of wylde beestes (whether he be one of youre selues or a straunger) the same shal wash his clothes, and bathe himself with water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen, and then is he cleane.

¹ And the LORDE talked with Moses, & sayde: ² Speake vnto ye children of Israel, and saye vnto them: These are ye feastes of the LORDE, which ye shal call holy dayes. ³ Sixe dayes shalt thou worke, but the seuenth daie is the rest of the Sabbath, and shalbe called holy. Ye shal do no worke therin, for it is the Sabbath of the LORDE, where so euer ye dwell. ⁴ These are the feastes of the LORDE, yt are called holy, which ye shal call youre feastes: ⁵ Upon ye fourtene daye of ye first moneth at euen, is the LORDES Easter. ⁶ And vpon ye fiftene daye of the same moneth is the feast of vnleueded bred of the LORDE. Then shall ye eate vnleuended bred seuen dayes. ⁷ The first daie shalbe called holy amonge you, ye shal do no worke of bodage therin, ⁸ seue daies shal ye offre vnto ye LORDE. The seueth daie shalbe called holy likewise, wherin ye shal do no worke of bondage also. ⁹ And ye LORDE talked wt Moses, & sayde: ¹⁰ Speake to the childre of Israel, & saye vnto them: Whan ye come into the lande yt I shall geue you, and reape downe youre haruest, ye shal brynge a shefe of the first frutes of youre haruest vnto the prest, ¹¹ the shall the shefe be waued before the LORDE, that ye maye be accepted: but this shal the prest do the nexte daye after the Sabbath. ¹² And ye same daie that yor shefe is waued, shal ye offre a burntofferinge vnto the LORDE, of a lambe which is without blemysh and of one yeare olde, ¹³ wt the meatofferynge, two tenth deales of fyne floure mengled with oyle, for an offerynge of a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE: & the drynk offerynge also, eue the fourth parte of an Hin of wyne. ¹⁴ And ye shall eate nether bred, nor cakes, ner furmentye (of new corne) tyll the same daye that ye brynge an offerynge vnto youre God. This shalbe a lawe vnto youre posterities, where so euer ye dwell. ¹⁵ Then shal ye nombre (from the nexte daye after the Sabbath, whan ye brought ye Waueshefe) seuen whole wekes, ¹⁶ vntyll the nexte daie after ye seueth weke, namely, fiftie daies, shal ye nombre, and offre new meatofferynges vnto the LORDE. ¹⁷ And out of all youre dwellinges shal ye offre, namely, two Waue loaues of two tenth deales of fyne floure leueded, and baken for the first frutes vnto ye LORDE. ¹⁸ And with youre bred ye shal brynge seuen lambes of one yeare olde without blemysh, and a yonge bullocke, and two rammes: this shalbe the LORDES burntofferynge, meatofferynge, and drynkoffrynge. This is a sacrifice of a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE. ¹⁹ Morouer ye shal offre an he goate for a synofferynge, and two lambes of a yeare olde for an healthofferynge. ²⁰ And ye prest shal waue it vpon the bred of the first frutes before the LORDE with the two lambes: And they shalbe holy vnto the LORDE, and shalbe the prestes. ²¹ And this daye shal ye proclame, for it shalbe called holy amonge you: no seruyle worke shal ye do therin. A perpetuall lawe shall it be amonge yor posterities, where so euer ye dwell. ²² Whan ye reape downe ye haruest of youre londe, ye shal not cut it cleane downe vpo the felde, ner gather vp all, but shal leaue it for the poore and straungers. I am the LORDE youre God. ²³ And ye LORDE talked with Moses, and sayde: ²⁴ Speake vnto the children of Israel, & saye: Vpon the first daye of the seuenth moneth shal ye haue the holy rest of the remembraunce of blowinge, ²⁵ wherin ye shal do no seruyle worke, and ye shal offre sacrifice vnto the LORDE. ²⁶ And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, and sayde: ²⁷ Vpon the tenth daye in this seuenth moneth is the daye of reconcylinge, which shalbe an holy conuocacion wt you. Ye shal humble youre soules therin, and offre vnto the LORDE, ²⁸ and shal do no seruyle worke in this daye: for it is the daye of attonement, that ye maye be reconcyled before the LORDE youre God. ²⁹ For what soule so euer humbleth not him self vpon this daye, the same shalbe roted out from amonge his people. ³⁰ And what soule so euer doth eny worke this daye, the same wil I destroye from amonge his people: ³¹ therfore shall ye do no worke. This shalbe a perpetuall lawe vnto youre posterities, where so euer ye dwell. ³² It is the rest of youre Sabbath, that ye maye humble youre soules. Vpon the nyenth daye of ye moneth at euen, shal ye kepe this holy daye from the euen forth vntyll the eue agayne. ³³ And the LORDE talked with Moses, & sayde: ³⁴ Vpon the fiftene daye of the seuenth moneth, is the feast of Tabernacles seuen dayes vnto the LORDE. ³⁵ The first daye shalbe an holy couocacion: no seruyle worke shal ye do therin. ³⁶ Seuen dayes shal ye offre vnto the LORDE. The eight daye shalbe an holy conuocacion vnto you also, and ye shal offre vnto the LORDE: for it is the daye of gatheringe together: No seruyle worke shall ye do therin. ³⁷ These are the holy daies of the LORDE, which ye shall proclame and holde for holy conuocacions, that ye maye offre vnto the LORDE burntofferynges, meatofferynges, drynkofferynges and other offerynges, euery one acordinge to his daye, ³⁸ besyde ye Sabbathes of ye LORDE, and youre giftes, and vowes, and frewylofferynges, that ye offre vnto the LORDE. ³⁹ So vpon the fiftene daye of the seuenth moneth, whan ye haue brought in the increase of the londe, ye shall kepe the LORDES feast seuen dayes longe. The first daye shalbe kepte holy daye, and the eight daye shalbe kepte holy daye also. ⁴⁰ And vpon the first daie ye shal take of ye goodly frutefull trees, braunches of palme trees, & bowes of thicke trees, and Wyllies of the broke, and seue dayes shal ye be mery before ye LORDE youre God: ⁴¹ and thus shal ye kepe the feast vnto the LORDE seuen dayes in the yeare. This shalbe a perpetuall lawe amonge youre posterities, that they kepe holy daye thus in ye seuenth moneth. ⁴² Seuen dayes shal ye dwell in bothes. Who so euer is an Israelite borne, shal dwell in bothes, ⁴³ that they which come after you, maye knowe, how that I made ye children of Israel to dwell in bothes, whan I brought them out of the lode of Egipte. I am the LORDE youre God. ⁴⁴ And Moses tolde the children of Israel these holy daies of the LORDE.

¹⁰ Like wyse whan ye are mery, and in youre feast dayes, & in youre new Monethes, ye shal blowe with the trompettes ouer youre burntsacrifices & healthofferinges, yt it maie be a remembraunce vnto you before youre God. I am the LORDE youre God.

¹ And the LORDE spake vnto Moses, & sayde: ² Comaunde ye childre of Israel, & saye vnto the: The offerynge of my bred which is my offerynge of the swete sauoure, shal ye kepe in his due season, that ye maie offre vnto me. ³ And saye vnto the: These are the offerynges that ye shal offre vnto the LORDE: Lambes of a yeare olde which are without blemysh, euerydaye two for a daylie burntofferynge: ⁴ the one lambe in the mornynge, the other at euen. ⁵ And therto a tenth deale of an Epha of fyne floure for a meatofferynge, myngled with beate oyle of the fourth parte of an Hin, ⁶ this is a daylie burntofferynge, which ye offred vpon mout Sinai, for a swete sauoure of a sacrifice unto the LORDE: ⁷ And the drynkofferinge of the same, ye fourth parte of an Hin to a lambe, and this shalbe poured in the Sanctuary for a gifte vnto the LORDE. ⁸ The other lambe shalt thou prepare at eue (like as the meatofferynge in the mornynge) & the drynkofferinge therof, for a sacrifice of a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE. ⁹ On the Sabbath daye, two lambes of a yeare olde without blemysh, & two teth deales of fyne floure myngled with oyle, & the drynk offerynge therof. ¹⁰ This is the burntofferynge of euery Sabbath, besyde the daylie burntofferynge, wt his drynkofferinge. ¹¹ And on the first daye of youre monethes ye shal offre a burntofferynge vnto ye LORDE: two yonge bullockes, a ramme, seue lambes of a yeare olde without blemysh, ¹² and all waye thre tenth deales of fyne floure for a meatofferynge myngled with oyle vnto euery bullocke: two tenth deales of fyne floure for a meatofferynge myngled with oyle vnto the ramme: ¹³ and a tenth deale of fyne floure for a meatofferynge myngled with oyle vnto euery lambe. This is the burntofferynge of a swete sauoure, a sacrifice unto ye LORDE. ¹⁴ And their drynkofferynges shalbe, half an Hin of wyne vnto euery bullocke, the thirde parte of an Hin to the ramme, ye fourth parte of an Hin to euery lambe. This is the burntofferynge of euery moneth in the yeare. ¹⁵ There shalbe offered an he goate also for a synofferynge vnto the LORDE, to the daylie burntofferynge with his drynkofferynge. ¹⁶ And on the fourtene daye of the first moneth is the Easter vnto the LORDE, ¹⁷ and on the fyftene daye of the same moneth is the feast. Seue dayes shal vnleuended bred be eaten. ¹⁸ The first daye shalbe an holy conuocacion: No seruile worke shal ye do therin, ¹⁹ and ye shal offre a burntofferynge vnto the LORDE: two yonge bullockes, one ramme, seuen labes of a yeare olde without blemysh, ²⁰ with their meatofferynge: thre tenth deales of fyne floure myngled with oile to either bullocke, and two tenth deales to the ramme, ²¹ and one tenth deale to euery lambe amonge the seuen lambes. ²² And an he goate for a synofferinge, to make an attonement for you. ²³ And these shal ye offre in the mornynge, besydes the burntofferynge, which is a daylie burntofferynge. ²⁴ After this maner shal ye offre ye bred euery daye seuen dayes longe for an offeringe of a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE, to the daylie burntofferynge, and drynkofferynge also. ²⁵ And the seuenth daye shal be called an holy conuocacion with you: no seruyle worke shal ye do therin. ²⁶ And the daye of the fyrst frutes (wha ye offre the meatofferynge of the moneth vnto ye LORDE in youre wekes) shal be an holy couocacion also: ²⁷ No worke of bondage shal ye do therin. And ye shal offre a burntofferynge for a swete sauoure vnto the LORDE: two yonge bullockes, a ramme, seuen lambes of a yeare olde, ²⁸ with their meatofferynges: thre tenth deales of fyne floure myngled with oyle to euery bullocke, two tenth deales to the ramme, ²⁹ and one tent deale to euery lambe of the seuen lambes.

³ Thou shalt eate no abhominacion. ⁴ These are the beestes which ye shal eate: Oxen, shepe, Goates, ⁵ Hert, Roo, Bugle, wylde goate, Unicorne, Origen, and Camelion. ⁶ And euery beest that deuydeth his clawe, & cheweth cudd, shal ye eate. ⁷ Neuertheles these shal ye not eate of them that chewe cudd, and deuyde not the hoffe in to two clawes: The Camell, the hayre, & the conye, for though they chewe cudd, yet deuyde they not the hoffe, therfore shal they be vncleane vnto you. ⁸ The swyne, though he deuyde the hoffe, yet cheweth he not cudd, he shall be vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of the flesh of the, and their deed carcases shal ye not touche. ⁹ This is it that ye shall eate of all that is in the waters: All that hath fynnes and scales, shall ye eate. ¹⁰ But what so euer hath no fynnes ner scales, that shal ye not eate, for it is vncleane vnto you. ¹¹ Eate of all cleane foules. ¹² But these are they, wherof ye shal not eate: The Aegle, ye Goshauke, the Cormoraunte, ¹³ the Ixion, the Vultur, the Kyte with his kynde, ¹⁴ & all Rauens in their kynde, ¹⁵ the Estriche, the Night crowe, the Cocow, the Sparow hauke with his kynde, ¹⁶ the litle Oule, the greate Oule, ye Backe, ¹⁷ the Bytture, the Swanne, the Pellicane, the Pye, ¹⁸ the Storke, the Heron, the Iaye wt his kynde, the Lapwynge, ye Swalowe: ¹⁹ And all foules yt crepe, shal be vncleane vnto you, and ye shal not eate them. ²⁰ (Omitted Text) ²¹ Ye shall eate of nothinge yt dyeth alone: thou mayest geue it vnto ye straunger within yi gate, that he eate it, or sell it to a straunger. For thou art an holy people vnto ye LORDE thy God. Thou shalt not seeth a kydd, whyle it yet sucketh his mother.

¹ Obserue the moneth Abib, yt thou offre Easter vnto the LORDE yi God: for in the moneth Abib the LORDE thy God broughte ye out of Egipte by nighte. ² And for the Easter vnto ye LORDE thy God, thou shalt offre oxen & shepe, in ye place which ye LORDE shal chose, yt his name maye dwell there. ³ Thou shalt eate no leuended bred in yt feast. Seuen dayes shalt thou eate the vnleuended bred of thy tribulacion: For with soroufull haist camest thou out of the londe of Egipte, that thou mayest remebre the daye of thy departinge out of ye londe of Egipte, all yi life longe. ⁴ In seue dayes shal there no leueded bred be sene within all thy coastes: & of the flesh that is offred ye first daye at euen, there shal nothinge be lefte ouer night vntyll the mornynge. ⁵ Thou mayest not offre Easter wt in eny of thy gates, which the LORDE thy God hath geuen the: ⁶ but in the place which the LORDE thy God hath chosen, that his name maye dwell there, there shalt thou offre this Easter, at euen whan the Sonne is gone downe, euen in the same season that thou camest out of Egipte: ⁷ and thou shalt dighte it, and eate it in the place that the LORDE thy God hath chosen, and then turne the on the morowe, & go home in to thy tente. ⁸ Sixe dayes shalt thou eate vnleuended bred, and on the seuenth daye is the gatheringe together of the LORDE thy God. Thou shalt do no worke therin. ⁹ Seuen wekes shalt thou nombre vnto ye, and begynne to nombre whan the syccle begynneth in the corne, ¹⁰ and thou shalt kepe the Feast of wekes vnto the LORDE thy God, that thou geue a frewylofferynge of thine hande, acordinge as the LORDE thy God hath blessed the, ¹¹ and shalt reioyse before the LORDE thy God, thou and thy sonne, thy doughter, thy seruaunt, thy mayde, and the Leuite that is within thy gates, ye straunger, the fatherlesse, and the wedowe, that are amonge you, in the place which ye LORDE thy God hath chosen, that his name maye dwell there. ¹² And remembre, yt thou wast a seruaunte in Egipte, so that thou kepe and do these ordynaunces. ¹³ The feast of Tabernacles shalt thou kepe seuen dayes, whan thou hast gathered in the frutes of thy barne & of thy wyne presse, ¹⁴ and thou shalt reioyse in thy feast, thou and thy sonne, thy doughter, thy seruaunte, thy mayde, the Leuite, the straunger, the fatherlesse, and the wedowe that are within yi gates. ¹⁵ Seuen dayes shalt thou kepe ye feast vnto the LORDE thy God, in the place that he hath chosen. For the LORDE thy God shal blesse the in all thy frutes and in all the workes of thine hades. Therfore shalt thou be glad. ¹⁶ Thre tymes in the yeare shal all thy males appeare before the LORDE thy God (in the place that he shall chose) namely, in the feast of vnleuended bred, in the feast of wekes, and in the feast of Tabernacles. He shal not appeare emptie before the LORDE, ¹⁷ but euery one after the gifte of his hande, acordinge to the blessinge that the LORDE thy God hath geuen the.

⁵ Dauid sayde vnto him: Beholde, tomorow is the new Mone, that I shulde syt at the table with the kynge. Let me hyde my selfe therfore in the felde vnto the thirde daye at euen.

¹⁸ and Ionathas sayde vnto him: Tomorow is ye new Mone, and thou shalt be axed after: for thou shalt be wanted where thou wast wonte to sit.

²³ He sayde: Why wilt thou go vnto him? To daye is it nether new moone ner Sabbath. She sayde: Well.

³¹ And vpon all Sabbathes, Newmones and feastes to offre all the burntofferynges vnto the LOROE, acordinge to the nombre and ordre, allwaye before the LORDE:

⁹ And Nehemias (which is Hathirsatha) and Esdras the prest and scrybe, and the Leuites yt caused the people to take hede, sayde vnto all the people: This daye is holy vnto the LORDE youre God: be not ye sory therfore, & wepe not. For all ye people wepte, wha they herde the wordes of the lawe.

³¹ And yf ye people of the lode broughte ware on the Sabbath, and all maner of vytayles to sell, that we wolde not take it of them on the Sabbath and on the holy dayes. And that we wolde let the seueth yeare be fre concernynge all maner of charge.

³³ namely to the shewbred, to the daylie meatofferynge, to the daylie burntofferynge of ye Sabbathes, of the new mones and feast dayes, and to the thinges that were sanctified, and to the synofferynges, to reconcyle Israel with all, and to all the busynes in ye house of oure God.

⁴ Why art thou so full of heuynes (o my soule) & why art thou so vnquiete within me?

³ Blowe vp the tropettes in the new Moone, vpon or solepne feast daye.

¹³ Offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. I abhorre youre incense. I maye not awaye with youre newmoones, youre Sabbathes and solempne dayes. Youre fastinges are also in vayne.

¹⁴ Then sayde I: Oh LORDE God, Beholde, my soule was yet neuer stayned: for fro my youth vp vnto this houre, I dyd neuer eate of a deed carcase, or of that which was slayne of wilde beestes, nether came there euer eny vnclene flesh in my mouth.

¹⁷ Agayne, it shal be the prynces parte to offre burntoffrynges, meatoffrynges and drynkoffrynges vnto the LORDE, in the holy dayes, new Moones, Sabbathes, and in all the hye feastes of the house of Israel. The synoffrynge, meatofferynge, brentofferynge & healthoffringe shal he geue, to recocile the house of Israel.

¹ Thus sayeth the LORDE God: ye dore of the ynnermer courte towarde the east, shall be shut the vj. worke dayes: but in the Sabbath and in the daye of the new Moone, it shalbe opened. ² Then shal the prynce come vnder the dore porche, & stonde still without by the dore cheke. So ye prestes shall offre vp his burnt & healthoffrynges. And he shal worshipe at the dore poste, and go his waye forth agayne: but ye dore shal nomore be shut till the euenynge. ³ On the same maner shal the people of the londe also do their worshipe before the LORDE, without this dore vpon the Sabbathes and new Moones.

⁵ Whan will the new moneth be gone, that we maye sell vytale, and ye Sabbath, that we maye haue scarcenesse of corne: to make the bu?shel lesse, and the Sycle greater?

¹¹ That which goeth in to the mouth, defyleth not the ma: but yt which cometh out of the mouth, defyleth ye ma.

²⁷ nd he sayde vnto them: The Sabbath was made for mans sake, and not man for the Sabbathes sake. ²⁸ Therfore is the sonne of man LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath.

¹⁹ For it entreth not in to his hert, but in to ye bely, and goeth out in to the draught, that purgeth all meates.

³ and sayde: Thou wentest in to men that are vncircumcysed, and hast eaten with them. ⁴ But Peter beganne, and expounded the thinge in order vnto the and sayde: ⁵ I was in ye cite of Ioppa prayege, and in a traunce I sawe a vision, a vessell commynge downe, as it had bene a greate lynnen clothe with foure corners, and let downe from heauen, and came vnto me. ⁶ Into the which I loked, and considered, and sawe foure foted beestes of the earth, and wylde beestes, and wormes, and foules of the ayre. ⁷ And I herde a voyce, which sayde vnto me: Ryse Peter, slaye, & eate. ⁸ But I sayde: Oh no, LORDE, for there neuer entred eny commen or vncleane thinge in to my mouth. ⁹ Neuertheles the voyce answered me agayne from heauen: What God hath clensed, that call not thou vncleane. ¹⁰ This was done thre tymes, and all was taken vp agayne in to heauen. ¹¹ And beholde, immediatly stode there thre men before the dore of the house that I was in, sent from Cesarea vnto me. ¹² But the sprete sayde vnto me, that I shulde go with the and doute nothinge. These sixe brethre also came with me, and we entred in to the mas house. ¹³ And he shewed vs, how he had sene an angell stondinge in his house, which sayde vnto him: Sende men to Ioppa, and call for Simon (whose syrname is Peter) ¹⁴ he shal tell ye wordes, wherby thou and all thy house shal be saued. ¹⁵ But whan I beganne to speake, the holy goost fell vpo them, like as vpon vs at ye begynnynge. ¹⁶ Then thoughte I vpon the worde of the LORDE, how he sayde: Ihon baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed with ye holy goost. ¹⁷ For as moch then as God hath geuen them like giftes, as vnto vs, which beleue on the LORDE Iesus Christ, who was I, that I shulde be able to withstode God? ¹⁸ Whan they herde this, they helde their peace, and praysed God, and sayde: Then hath God also to the Heithen graunted repentaunce vnto life.

²⁰ but to wryte vnto them, that they absteyne them selues from fylthynesse of Idols, from whordome, and from strangled, and bloude.

² One beleueth that he maye eate all thinge: but he that is weake, eateth herbes. ³ Let not him that eateth, despyse him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, iudge him that eateth: for God hath receaued him.

⁵ Some man putteth differece betwene daye & daye, but another man counteth all dayes alyke. Let euery man be sure of his meanynge. ⁶ He that putteth difference in the daye, doth it vnto the LORDE: & he that putteth no differece in the daye, doth it vnto ye LORDE also. He yt eateth, eateth vnto the LORDE, for he geueth God thakes:

¹⁰ But why iudgest thou yi brother? Or thou other, why despysest thou yi brother? We shal all be broughte before ye iudgmet seate of Christ.

¹³ Let vs not therfore iudge one another enymore. But iudge this rather, yt noma put a stomblinge blocke or an occasion to fall in his brothers waye. ¹⁴ I knowe, & am full certified in ye LORDE Iesu, yt there is nothinge comen of itselfe: but vnto him yt iudgeth it to be comen, to him is it comen. ¹⁵ But yf yi brother be greued ouer yi meate, the walkest thou not now after charite. Destroye not wt thy meate, him, for whom Christ dyed, ¹⁶ Se therfore that youre treasure be not euell spoke of. ¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke, but righteousnes, & peace, and ioye in the holy goost.

²⁰ Destroye not ye worke of God for eny meates sake. All thinges truly are cleane, but it is euell for yt ma, which eateth wt hurte of his coscience ²¹ It is moch better yt thou eate no flesh, and drynke no wyne, nor eny thinge, wherby thy brother stombleth, or falleth, or is made weake.

⁷ But euery man hath not knowlege: for some make yet consciece ouer the Idoll, and eate it as a thinge offred vnto Idols: and so their conscience beynge weake, is defyled. ⁸ Neuertheles meate furthureth not vs vnto God. Yf we eate, we shal not therfore be the better: yf we eate not, we shal not therfore be the lesse. ⁹ But take hede that this youre liberty be not an occasion of fallynge vnto ye weake. ¹⁰ For yf eny man se the (which hast knowlege) syt at the table in the Idols house, shal not his conscience whyle it is weake, be occasioned to eate of the Idoll offeringes? ¹¹ And so thorow thy knowlege shal the weake brother perishe, for who Christ dyed. ¹² But whan ye synne so agaynst the brethren, and wounde their weake coscience, ye synne agaynst Christ. ¹³ Wherfore yf meate offende my brother, I wyl neuer eate flesh, lest I offende my brother.

²⁸ But yf eny man saye vnto you: This is offred vnto Idols, the eate not of it, for his sake that shewed it, and for hurtinge of conscience. (The earth is the LORDES and all that therin is.) ²⁹ Neuertheles I speake of consciece, not thine, but of ye other. For why shulde my liberty be iudged of another mas coscience? ³⁰ For yf I take my parte wt thankesgeuynge, why am I euell spoken of, for yt thinge wherfore I geue thankes? ³¹ Therfore whether ye eate or drynke, or what so euer ye do, do all to ye prayse of God.

¹² For afore there came certayne from Iames, he ate with the Heythe. But wha they were come, he withdrue and separated himselfe, fearinge the which were of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Iewes dyssembled with him likewyse, in so moch yt Barnabas was brought in to their symulacion also.

¹⁰ Ye obserue dayes and monethes, and tymes and yeares.

³ forbyddinge to mary, and comaundynge to abstayne fro the meates, which God hath created to be receaued wt geuynge thankes of them which beleue and knowe the trueth. ⁴ For euery creature off God is good, and nothinge to be refused, yt is receaued with thankesgeuynge: ⁵ for it is sanctifyed by the worde of God and prayer.

¹⁰ onely with meates and drynkes, and dyuerse wasshinges, and iustifienges of the flesh, which were ordeyned vnto the tyme of reformacion.

⁹ Be not caried aboute wt dyuerse and straunge lernynges: for it is a good thinge that the herte be stablysshed with grace, and not with meates, which haue not profited them, that haue had their pastyme in them.

¹¹ Backbyte not one another, brethren. He that backbyteth his brother, and he yt iudgeth his brother, backbyteth the lawe, and iudgeth the lawe. But and yf thou iudge the lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the lawe: but a iudge.
