²³ And this is the nombre of the heades harnessed vnto the warre, which came to Dauid vnto Hebron, for to turne the kyngdome of Saul vnto him, acordynge to the worde of the LORDE. ²⁴ The childre of Iuda, which handled speares and swerdes, were sixe thousande, & eight hundreth ready harnessed vnto ye warre. ²⁵ Of the children of Simeon noble men of armes for the battayll, seuen thousande and an hudreth. ²⁶ Of the children of Leui foure thousande and sixe hundreth. ²⁷ And Ioiada the prynce amonge them of Aaron with thre thousande and seuen hundreth. ²⁸ Sadoc the yonge valeaunt man of armes with his fathers house, two and twentye rulers. ²⁹ Of the children of BenIamin Sauls brother, thre thousande: for vnto that time helde many of the yet with the house of Saul. ³⁰ Of ye children of Ephraim, twentie thousande and eighte hundreth valeaunt men of armes, and famous in the house of their fathers. ³¹ Of the halfe trybe of Manasses, eightene thousande, named by name, to come and make Dauid kynge. ³² Of the children of Isachar (which were men of vnderstondynge, whan nede requyred to knowe what Israel shulde do) two hundreth captaynes, and all their brethren folowed their worde. ³³ Of Sabulon, soch as wente forth in the hoost to ye warre, ready with all maner of weapens for the battayll, fyftye thousande, beynge of one mynde to kepe them selues in ordre. ³⁴ Of Nephtali, a thousande captaynes, & with them soch as handled shylde and speare, seuen and thyrtie thousande. ³⁵ Of Dan, ready harnessed to the battayll, eight and twentye thousande, and sixe hundreth. ³⁶ Of Asser, soch as wente forth in ye hoost, ready harnessed to the battayll, fortye thousande ³⁷ From beyonde Iordane, of the Rubenites, Gaddites and the halfe trybe of Manasses, with all maner of weapens to the battayll, an hudreth and twentye thousande. ³⁸ All these men of warre, ready harnessed to the battayll, came with a whole hert vnto Hebron, to make Dauid kynge ouer all Israel. And all Israel besyde were of one hert, that Dauid shulde be made kynge. ³⁹ And there were they with Dauid thre dayes, eatynge and drynkynge: for their brethren had prepared for them. ⁴⁰ And soch neghbours as were aboute them vntyll Isachar, Zabulon and Nephtali, brought bred vpon Asses, Camels, Mules and oxen to eate: meel, fyges, rasens, wyne, oyle, oxen, shepe, very many: for there was ioye in Israel.

¹⁶ Ouer the trybes of Israel were these: Amonge the Rubenites was Prynce Elieser the sonne of Sichri.

¹⁵ For the olde Debytes that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had take of the bred and wyne, and fortye Sycles of syluer: Yee and their seruauntes had oppressed the people. But so dyd not I, and that because of the feare of God.

²³ And their childre multiplyedst thou as the starres of heauen, and broughtest the in to the londe wherof thou haddest spoken vnto their fathers, that they shulde go in to it, and haue it in possession.

² As for the foolish man displeasure kylleth him, and anger slayeth ye ignoraunt.

¹³ which compaseth ye wyse in their owne craftynesse, and ouertroweth the councell of the wicked:

² Whyle ye vngodly hath the ouer hande, the poore must suffre persecucion: O that they were taken in the ymaginacions which they go aboute.

¹⁹ Let me not be confounded (o LORDE) for I call vpon the: let the vngodly rather be put to confucion, and brought vnto the hell.

³ Put thou thy trust in ye LORDE, & be doinge good: so shalt thou dwell in the londe, & verely it shal fede the.

¹ Blessed is he, yt considreth ye poore: ye LORDE shal delyuer him in the tyme of trouble. ² The LORDE shal preserue him, and kepe him alyue: he shal make him to prospere vpon earth, and shal not delyuer him into ye wil of his enemies.

⁵ Sela. For thou (o LORDE) hast herde my desyres, thou hast geuen an heretage vnto those that feare thy name.

¹³ Yf so be yt ye lye amoge the pales, the doues fethers shalbe couered with syluer, & hir winges of the color of golde.

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

³ They ymagin craftely agaynst thy people, & take councell agaynst thy secrete ones. ⁴ Come (saye they) let vs rote them out from amonge the people, that the name of Israel maye be put out of remebraunce.

⁹ For his saluacion is nye them that feare him, so that glory shal dwell in oure londe.

¹¹ For loke how hye the heaue is in comparison of the earth, so greate is his mercy also towarde them that feare him.

¹³ What tyme as they wente from one nacion to another, from one kyngdome to another.

²⁴ But he increased his people exceadingly, and made them stronger then their enemies.

²⁴ But he increased his people exceadingly, and made them stronger then their enemies. ²⁵ Whose hert turned, so that they hated his people, and dealt vntruly with his seruauntes.

²⁵ Whose hert turned, so that they hated his people, and dealt vntruly with his seruauntes.

⁵ He geueth meate vnto the yt feare him, he is euer myndfull of his couenaut.

¹ Excepte the LORDE buylde the house, their labour is but lost that buylde it.

³ It is but lost labour that ye ryse vp early, and take no rest, but eate the bred of carefulnesse: for loke to whom it pleaseth him, he geueth it in slepe.

¹⁹ He fulfilleth the desyre of them that feare him, he heareth their crie, and helpeth them.

¹¹ yf they entyse the, and saye: come wyth us, let us laye wayte for bloude, & lurke preuely for the innocet wythout a cause:

¹⁶ For their fete rune to euell, & are haistie to shed bloude.

¹⁶ For they can not slepe, excepte they haue first done some myschefe: nether take they eny rest, excepte they haue first done some harme.

¹³ With me is the feare of the LORDE, and ye eschuynge of euell. As for pryde, disdayne, an euell waye, & a mouth that speaketh wicked thiges, I vtterly abhorre the.

¹⁸ The laboure of the vngodly prospereth not, but he that soweth rightuosnes, shal receaue a sure rewarde.

²⁸ The increase and prosperite of the comons is the kynges honoure, but the decaye of the people is the confucio of the prynce.

⁶ With louynge mercy & faithfulnesse synnes be forgeuen, and who so feareth ye LORDE eschueth euell.

²⁵ There is a waye yt men thinke to be right, but the ende therof leadeth vnto death.

¹⁷ He yt hath pitie vpon the poore, ledeth vnto ye LORDE: & loke what he layeth out, it shalbe payed him agayne.

³⁰ There is no wy?dome, there is no vnderstondinge, there is no councell agaynst the LORDE.

³ Thorow wy?dome an house shalbe buylded, & wt vnderstondinge it shalbe set vp.

¹¹ Delyuer the yt go vnto death, & are led awaie to be slaine, & be not necliget therin. ¹² Yf thou wilt saye: I knewe not of it. Thynkest thou yt he which made ye hertes, doth not cosidre it? & yt he which regardeth yi soule, seith it not? Shal not he recopence euery man acordinge to his workes?

⁴ Wrath is a cruell thige, and furiousnesse is a very tempest: yee who is able to abyde envye?

¹⁸ Yee I was weery of all my laboure, which I had taken vnder the Sonne, because I shulde be fayne to leaue them vnto another man, that cometh after me: ¹⁹ for who knoweth, whether he shalbe a wyse ma or a foole? And yet shal he be lorde of all my labours, which I with soch wy?dome haue taken vnder the Sonne. Is not this a vayne thinge?

⁴ Agayne, I sawe that all trauayle and diligence of laboure was hated of euery man. This is also a vaine thinge, and a vexacion of mynde.

⁴ Like as when a kynge geueth a charge, his commaundement is mightie: Euen so who maye saye vnto him: what doest thou?

¹² But though an euell personne offende an hundreth tymes, and haue a longe life: yet am I sure, that it shal go well with the that feare God, because they haue him before their eyes.

¹⁵ And in the cite there was founde a poore man (but he was wyse) which wt his wy?dome delyuered the cite: yet was there no body, yt had eny respecte vnto soch a symple man.

¹³ Lat vs heare the conclucion of all thinges: Feare God, and kepe his comaundementes, for that toucheth all men:

¹⁰ Then shal they saye: O happie are the godly, for they maye enioye the frutes of their studies.

⁶ Which whe he is wroth, smyteth ye people wt durable strokes, & in his woders he persecuteth the, & tameth the cotinually.

²³ & wil put it i their hode that trouble the: which haue spoken to thy soule: stoupe downe, that we maye go ouer the: make thy body eaue with the grounde, and as the strete to go vpon.

⁵ And now what profit is it to me (saieth ye LORDE) yt my people is frely caried awaye, & brought in to heuynes by their rulers, and my name euer still blasphemed? saieth the LORDE.

⁶ But this fastinge pleaseth not me, till ye tyme be thou lowse him out of bondage, that is in thy daunger: that thou breake the ooth of wicked bargaynes, that thou let the oppressed go fre, and take from them all maner of burthens.

² Go vnto ye house of the Rechabites, & call them out, & bringe the to ye house of the LORDE in to some commodious place, and geue them wyne to drynke.

³³ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: The children of Israel & Iuda suffre violence together. All they that haue them in captiuyte, kepe them fast, & wil not let them go: ³⁴ but their aveger & redemer is mightie, whose name is the LORDE of hoostes: he shal manteyne their cause, he shal make the londe shake, & iudge them that dwell therin, one with another.

¹⁶ Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago answered the kynge, and sayde: O Nabuchodonosor, we ought not to cosente vnto ye in this matter, for why: ¹⁷ oure God whom we serue, is able to kepe vs from the hote burnynge ouen (O kynge) and can right wel delyuer vs out off thy hondes. ¹⁸ And though he wil not, yet shalt thou knowe (o kynge) that we will not serue thy goddes, ner do reuerece to the ymage, which thou hast set vp.

¹³ Then answered they, and sayde vnto the kynge: Daniel one of the presoners of Iuda (O kynge) regardeth nether the ner thy statute, that thou hast made, but maketh his peticion thre tymes a daye.

¹¹ Ephraim is oppressed, and can haue no right of the lawe: for why? they folowe ye doctrynes of men.

³ Ye eate the flesh of my people, ad flay of their skynne: ye breake their bones, ye choppe them in peces as it were in to a cauldron, ad as flesh into a pot.

¹⁶ Ye kepe the ordinaunces of Amri, & all the customes of the house of Achab: ye folowe their pleasures, therfore wil I make the waist, & cause yi inhabiters to be abhorred, O my people: & thus shalt thou beare thine owne shame.

¹⁴ Drawe water now agaynst thou be beseged, make vp thy stroge holdes, go into the claye, tempre the morter, make stronge bricke:

²⁸ And feare ye not them that kyll the body, and be not able to kyll the soule. But rather feare hi, which is able to destroye both soule and body in to hell.

⁴² And who soeuer geueth vnto one of the least of these a cupp of colde water onely to drinke, in ye name of a disciple, verely I saie vnto you: he shal not lose his rewarde.

³⁸ But whe the hussbandme sawe the sonne, they sayde amonge the selues: This is the Heyre, come, let us kyl hym, and take his inheritauce vnto oure selues.

⁴⁰ And the kynge shal answer and saye vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you: Loke what ye haue done vnto one of the least of these my brethren, the same haue ye done vnto me.

⁵⁰ And his mercy endureth thorow out all generacions, vpon them that feare him.

⁵ But I wil shewe you, whom ye shal feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power also to cast in to hell: Yee I saye vnto you: Feare him.

¹⁹ But the pharises sayde amonge them selues: Ye se, that we preuayle nothinge, beholde, all ye worlde runneth after him.

² who it greued yt they taught the people, & preached in Iesu ye resurreccion fro the deed ³ and they layed handes vpon them, and put the in holde tyll the morow: for it was now euentyde. ⁴ Howbeit many of the which herde the worde, beleued, and the nombre of ye men was aboute fyue thousande.

¹⁸ And they called them, and comaunded the, that in eny wyse they shulde not speake ner teache in the name of Iesu. ¹⁹ But Peter & Ihon answered, and sayde vnto the: Iudge ye youre selues, whether it be right before God, that we shulde be more obedient vnto you, then vnto God. ²⁰ We can not chose, but speake that we haue sene & herde.

²⁸ and sayde: Dyd not we comaunde you strately, that ye shulde not teache in this name. And beholde, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and ye intede to brynge this mans bloude vpon vs. ²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayde: We ought more to obeye God then men.

²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayde: We ought more to obeye God then men. ³⁰ The God of oure fathers hath raysed vp Iesus, who ye slewe, and hanged on tre. ³¹ Him hath the righte hande of God exalted, to be a prynce and Sauioure, to geue repentaunce and forgeuenesse of synnes vnto Israel. ³² And we are his recordes of these wordes, and the holy goost, who God hath geuen vnto the that obeye him. ³³ Wha they herde that, it wente thorow the hertes of them, and they thoughte to slaye them.

¹⁴ But Ioseph sent out, and caused his father and all his kynred to be broughte, eue thre score and fyftene soules. ¹⁵ And Iacob wente downe in to Egipte, and dyed, both he and oure fathers ¹⁶ and were brought ouer vnto Siche, and layed in the sepulcre, that Abraham boughte for money of the children of Hemor at Sichem. ¹⁷ Now wha the tyme of the promes drue nye (which God had sworne vnto Abraha) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte, ¹⁸ tyll there rose another kynge, which knewe not of Ioseph.

¹⁸ tyll there rose another kynge, which knewe not of Ioseph. ¹⁹ The same dealte suttely wt oure kynred, and intreated oure fathers euell and made them to cast out the yonge children, that they shulde not remayne alyue.

³⁴ I haue well sene the trouble of my people in Egipte, and haue herde their gronynge, and am come downe to delyuer them. And now come, I wil sende the in to Egipte.

¹² Now whan it was daye, certayne of the Iewes gathered them selues together, and made a vowe nether to eate ner drynke, tyll they had kylled Paul.

²⁸ But sure we are, that all thinges serue for the best vnto them that loue of God, which are called of purpose.

¹⁸ Let no ma disceaue himselfe. Yf eny man thinke himselfe wyse amoge you, let him become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse. ¹⁹ For the wyssdome off this worlde is foolishnes with God. For it is wrytten: He compaseth the wyse in their craftynesse. ²⁰ And agayne: The LORDE knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse, that they are vayne.

³ For we oure selues also were in tymes past, vnwyse, dishobedient, in erroure, seruynge lustes and dyuerse maners of voluptuousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and envye, full of hate, hatynge one another.

¹⁰ For God is not vnrighteous, that he shulde forget youre worke and laboure of loue, which ye shewed in his name, whan ye mynistred vnto the sayntes, and yet mynister.

⁶ for who the LORDE loueth, him he chasteneth, yee and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receaueth. ⁷ Yf ye endure chastenynge, God offereth himselfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that, whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ Yf ye be not vnder correccion (wherof all are partakers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes. ⁹ Morouer seyenge we haue had fathers off oure flesh which corrected vs, & we gaue them reuerence, shulde we not then moch rather be in subieccion vnto ye father of spirituall giftes, yt we mighte lyue? ¹⁰ And they verely for a few dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he lerneth vs vnto yt which is profitable, that we mighte receaue of his holynes. ¹¹ No maner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyous, but greuous: neuertheles afterwarde it bringeth the quyete frute of righteousnes, vnto them which are exercysed therby.

¹⁴ But yf ye haue bitter enuyenge and stryfe in yor hertes, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth. ¹⁵ This wissdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, and naturall, and dyuelishe.

¹⁵ This wissdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, and naturall, and dyuelishe. ¹⁶ For where enuyenge and stryfe is, there is vnstablenes and all maner of euell workes.

¹⁶ For where enuyenge and stryfe is, there is vnstablenes and all maner of euell workes. ¹⁷ But the wissdom that is fro aboue, is fyrst pure, the peasable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudgynge, and without simulacion: ¹⁸ yee, and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace, of the that mayntene peace.

⁵ Ether do ye thinke yt the scripture sayth in vayne. The sprete yt dwelleth in you, lusteth euen contrary to enuie:

⁴ And I herde the nombre of them which were sealed, and there were sealed an c. and xliiij. M. of all the trybes of the children of Israell. ⁵ Of ye trybe of Iuda were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Ruben were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Gad were sealed xij. M. ⁶ Of the trybe of Asser were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Neptalym were sealed xij. M. Of ye trybe of Manasses were sealed xij. M. ⁷ Of the trybe of Symeon were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Leui were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Isacar were sealed xij. M. ⁸ Of the trybe of Zabulon were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Ioseph were sealed xij. M. Of the trybe of Beniamin were sealed xij. thousande.

⁴ and his tayle drue the thyrde parte of the starres, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stode before the woma, which was ready to be delyuered: for to devoure her childe as sone as it were borne.

⁴ And the thyrde angel shed out his vyall vpon the ryuers and fountaynes of waters, and they turned to bloude. ⁵ And I herde an angel saye: LORDE which art and wast, thou art righteous and holy, because thou hast geue soche iudgmentes, ⁶ for they shed the bloude of sayntes, and prophetes, and therfore hast thou geuen them bloude to drynke: for they are worthy.
