¹ In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was with God, and God was ye worde. ² The same was in the begynnynge wt God. ³ All thinges were made by the same, and without the same was made nothinge that was made. ⁴ In him was the life, and the life was the light of men: ⁵ and the light shyneth in the darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not. ⁶ There was sent from God a man, whose name was Ihon. ⁷ The same came for a witnesse, to beare wytnesse of ye light, that thorow him they all might beleue. ⁸ He was not that light, but that he might beare witnesse of ye light. ⁹ That was the true light, which lighteth all men, that come in to this worlde. ¹⁰ He was in the worlde, & the worlde was made by him, and ye worlde knewe him not. ¹¹ He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not. ¹² But as many as receaued him, to them gaue he power to be the children of God: euen soch as beleue in his name. ¹³ Which are not borne of bloude, ner of the wyl of the flesh, ner of the wyl of man, but of God. ¹⁴ And the worde became flesh, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe his glory, a glory as of the onely begotte sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth. ¹⁵ Ihon bare wytnesse of him, cryed, and sayde: It was this, of whom I spake: After me shal he come, that was before me, For he was or euer I: ¹⁶ and of his fulnesse haue all we receaued grace for grace. ¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme.

And he confessed, and sayde: I am not Christ. ²¹ And they axed him: What the? Art thou Elias? He sayde: I am not. Art thou the Prophet?

For he was or euer I, ³¹ and I knewe him not: but that he shulde be declared in Israel, therfore am I come to baptyse with water. ³² And Ihon bare recorde, & sayde: I sawe the sprete descende from heauen like vnto a doue, and abode vpon him, ³³ & I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptyse with water, ye same sayde vnto me: Vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him, the same is he, that baptyseth with the holy goost. ³⁴ And I sawe it, and bare recorde, that this is the sonne of God. ³⁵ The nexte daye after, Ihon stode agayne, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And wha he sawe Iesus walkynge, he sayde: Beholde the labe of God. ³⁷ And two of his disciples herde him speake, and folowed Iesus. ³⁸ And Iesus turned him aboute, and sawe them folowinge, and sayde vnto the: What seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi, (which is to saye by interpretacion, Master.) Where art thou at lodginge? ³⁹ He sayde vnto them: Come and se it. They came and sawe it, & abode with him the same daye. It was aboute the tenth houre. ⁴⁰ One of the two, which herde Ihon speake, and folowed Iesus, was Andrew the brother of Symon Peter: ⁴¹ the same founde first his brother Symon, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde Messias (which is by interpretacion, ye Anoynted) ⁴² and brought him to Iesus.

Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Before yt Philippe called the, whan thou wast vnder the fygge tre, I sawe the. ⁴⁹ Nathanaell answered, and sayde vnto hi: Rabbi, thou art ye sonne of God, thou art ye kynge of Israel. ⁵⁰ Iesus answered, & sayde vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the, that I sawe the vnder the fygge tre, thou beleuest: thou shalt se yet greater thinges the these. ⁵¹ And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Fro this tyme forth shal ye se the heauen open, and the angels of God goinge vp & downe ouer the sonne of man.

²⁰ Thou spakest somtyme in visios vnto thy sayntes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vpon one that is mightie, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.

²⁶ I wil set his honde in the see, and his right honde in the floudes. ²⁷ He shal call me: thou art my father, my God, and the strength of my saluacion.

³ The LORDE hath declared his sauynge health, and his rightuousnes hath he openly shewed in the sight of the Heithe.

²⁵ Thou LORDE in the begynnynge hast layed ye foundacion of the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thy hondes.

¹ The LORDE sayde vnto my LORDE: Syt thou on my right hande, vntill I make thine enemies thy fotestole.

³ In the daye of thy power shal thy people offre the frewill offeringes with an holy worshipe, ye dewe of thy byrth is of the wobe of the mornynge.

¹ O Lorde, thou searchest me out, and knowest me. Thou knowest my downe syttinge & my vprisynge, thou vnderstodest my thoughtes a farre of. ² Thou art aboute my path & aboute my bedd, & spyest out all my wayes.

²² O ye childre, how loge wil ye loue childyshnesse? how longe wil ye scorners delyte in scornynge, & ye vnwyse be enemies vnto knowlege?

²⁹ And yt because they hated knowlege, and receaued not ye feare of ye LORDE, ³⁰ but abhorred my councell, and despysed my correccion.

¹⁸ She is a tre of life to them that laye holde vpon her, and blessed are they that kepe her fast.

¹⁷ I am louynge vnto those that loue me, and they that seke me early, shal fynde me.

²² The LORDE himself had me in possessio in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he begame his workes aforetyme.

²² The LORDE himself had me in possessio in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he begame his workes aforetyme. ²³ I haue bene ordened fro euerlastige, & fro ye beginnynge or euer the earth was made. ²⁴ When I was borne, there were nether depthes ner springes of water. ²⁵ Before the foundacions of ye mountaynes were layed, yee before all hilles was I borne. ²⁶ The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it self. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: wha he set the depthes in ordre: ²⁸ whan he hanged the cloudes aboue: whan he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ Whan he shutt the see within certayne bowndes, that ye waters shulde not go ouer their marckes. When he layed the foundacions of the earth, ³⁰ I was with him, ordringe all thinges, delytinge daylie & reioysynge allwaye before him.

³⁰ I was with him, ordringe all thinges, delytinge daylie & reioysynge allwaye before him. ³¹ As for the roude copase of his worlde, I make it ioyfull, for my delyte is to be amoge the children of men.

³⁴ Blessed is ye man that heareth me, watchinge daylie at my gates, & geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.

²⁰ He that goeth in the company of wyse men, shal be wyse: but who so is a copanyo of fooles, shal be hurte.

²³ O how ioyfull a thinge is it, a man to geue a conuenient answere? O how pleasaunt is a worde spoken in due season?

⁷ Tell me (o thou whom my soule loueth) where thou fedest, where thou restest at the noone daye: lest I go wronge, and come vnto the flockes of thy companyons, ⁸ Yf thou knowe not yi self (o thou fayrest amoge women) tha go yi waye forth after ye fotesteppes of the shepe, as though thou woldest fede yi goates besyde ye shepherdes tentes.

³ speakinge thus one to another: vp, let us go to the hill of the LORDE, and to the house of ye God of Iacob: yt he maye shewe us his waye, and yt we maye walke in his pathes. For ye lawe shal come out of Syon, and the worde of God from Ierusalem, ⁴ and shal geue sentence amonge the heithen, and shal reforme the multitude of people: So that they shal breake their swerdes and speares, to make sythes, sycles & sawes therof. From that tyme forth shal not one people lift vp wapen agaynst another, nether shal they lerne to fight from thensforth. ⁵ It is to the that I crie (o house of Iacob) vp, let us walke in the light of the LORDE.

² After that tyme shal the braunch of ye LORDE be beutiful and mightie, and ye frute of the earth shalbe fayre and pleasaunt for those Israelites that shall springe therof.

¹ In the same yeare yt kynge Osias dyed, I sawe the LORDE sittinge vpon an high and glorious seate, and his trayne fylled ye palace. ² From aboue flakred the Seraphins, wherof euery one had sex wynges. With twayne ech couered his face, wt twayne his fete, and with twayne dyd he flye. ³ They cried also ech one to other on this maner: holy, holy, holy is the LORDE of hoostes. The whole worlde is ful of his glory.

¹⁴ And therfore the LORDE shal geue you a token of himself: Beholde, a virgin shal coceaue and beare a sonne, and shal call his name Emanuel.

²⁰ Yf eny man want light, let him loke vpon the lawe and the testimony, whether they speake not after this meanynge.

⁶ For vnto us a childe shalbe borne, and vnto us a sonne shalbe geue. Vpo his shulder shal the kyngdome lye, and he shalbe called wt his owne name: The woderous geuer of councel, the mightie God, the euerlastinge father, the prynce of peace, ⁷ he shal make no ende to encrease the kyngdome and peace, and shal syt vpon the seate of Dauid and in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, to stablish it with equyte and rightuousnesse, from thence forth for euermore. This shal the gelousy of the LORDE of hoostes bringe to passe.

² The sprete of the LORDE shal light vpon it: the sprete of wysdome, and vnderstondinge: the sprete of councel, and strength: ye sprete of knowlege, and of the feare of God:

⁴ Saye vnto them that are of a fearful hert: Be of good chere, and feare not. Beholde: youre God cometh, to take vengeaunce & to rewarde, God cometh his owne self, and wil delyuer you. ⁵ Then shal the eyes of the blinde be lightned, and the eares of the deaff opened.

³ A voyce crieth: Prepare ye waye for the LORDE in the wyldernesse, make straight ye path for oure God in the deserte. ⁴ Let all valleis be exalted, and euery mountayne and hill be layde lowe. What so is croked, let it be made straight, and let the rough places be made playne feldes. ⁵ For the glory of the LORDE shal apeare, & all flesh shal se it, for why, ye mouth of the LORDE hath spoken it.

⁵ For the glory of the LORDE shal apeare, & all flesh shal se it, for why, ye mouth of the LORDE hath spoken it.

⁹ Go vp vnto the hill (o Sion) thou that bringest good tidinges, lift vp thy voyce with power, o thou preacher Ierusalem. Lift it vp without feare, and say vnto the cities of Iuda: Beholde, youre God: ¹⁰ beholde, the LORDE, euen the almightie sha come with power, & beare rule with his arme. Beholde, he bringeth his treasure with him, and his workes go before him. ¹¹ He shal fede his flock like an hirdman. He shal gather the lambes together with his arme, and carie them in his bosome, & shal kindly intreate those that beare yonge.

¹¹ He shal fede his flock like an hirdman. He shal gather the lambes together with his arme, and carie them in his bosome, & shal kindly intreate those that beare yonge.

⁶ I the LORDE haue called ye in rightuousnesse, & led the by the honde. Therfore wil I also defende the, & geue the for a couenaunt of the people, & to be the light of the Getiles. ⁷ That thou mayest open the eyes of the blinde, let out the prysoners, & them that syt in darknesse, out of the dongeon house.

¹⁶ I wil bringe the blinde into a strete, that they knowe not: and lede them in to a fotepath, that they are ignoraunt in. I shal make darknesse light before the, & the thinge yt is croked, to be straight. These thinges will I do, & not forget them.

¹² I haue made the earth, and created ma vpon it. With my hondes haue I spred forth heauen, and geuen a commaundment for all the hooste therof.

¹⁸ For thus sayeth the LORDE: euen he that created heauen, the God yt made the earth, that fashioned it, and set it forth: I haue not made it for naught, but I made it to be enhabited: Euen I the LORDE, without whom there is none other.

²² And therfore turne you vnto me (all ye endes of the earth) so shal ye be saued, for I am God, & there is els none.

⁶ Let it be but a smal thinge, that thou art my seruaunt, to set vp the kinreddes of Iacob, & to restore the destructio of Israel: yf I make the not also the light of the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my health vnto the ende of the worlde.

² He shal growe before the LORDE like as a brauch, & as a rote in a drie grounde. He shal haue nether bewty ner fauoure. When we loke vpon him, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shal haue no lust vnto him.

² He shal growe before the LORDE like as a brauch, & as a rote in a drie grounde. He shal haue nether bewty ner fauoure. When we loke vpon him, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shal haue no lust vnto him. ³ He shalbe the most symple & despised of all, which yet hath good experience of sorowes & infirmities. We shal reken him so symple & so vyle, that we shal hyde oure faces fro him.

⁷ He shal be payned & troubled, ad shal not ope his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shal he be as still as a lambe before the shearer, & not open his mouth.

¹¹ With trauayle and laboure of his soule, shal he optayne greate riches. My rightuous seruaunt shall with his wisdome iustifie & delyuer the multitude, for he shal beare awaye their synnes.

⁵ Vnto them wil I geue in my housholde and with in my walles, a better heretage & name: the yf they had bene called sonnes & daughters. I wil geue them an euerlastinge name, that shall not perishe.

¹ And therfore get the vp by tymes, for thy light cometh, & the glory of ye LORDE shal ryse vp vpo ye. ² For lo, while ye darknesse & cloude couereth the earth & the people, the LORDE shal shewe the light, & his glory shal be sene in the.

¹ The sprete of the LORDE God is wt me, for ye LORDE hath anoynted me, & sent me, to preach good tydiges vnto the poore, yt I might bynde vp ye wounded hertes, yt I might preach delyueraunce to ye captyue, & open the preson to the that are bounde:

¹ They shal seke me, that hitherto haue not axed for me: they shal fynde me, that hither to haue not sought me. Then shal I saye immediatly, to the people that neuer called vpon my name: I am here, I am here.

¹ They shal seke me, that hitherto haue not axed for me: they shal fynde me, that hither to haue not sought me. Then shal I saye immediatly, to the people that neuer called vpon my name: I am here, I am here. ² For thus longe haue I euer holden out my hondes to an vnfaithful people, that go not the right waye, but after their owne ymaginacions:

²⁴ And it shalbe, that or euer they call, I shal answere them. Whyle they are yet but thinkinge how to speake, I shal heare them.

¹⁹ I haue shewed also, how I toke the vp beinge but a childe, and gaue the a pleasaunt londe for thine heretage, yee and a goodly hooste of the Heithen: and how I commaunded the, that thou shuldest call me father only, and not to shrencke fro me.

¹¹ As for their goddes, it maye well be sayde of the: they are goddes, that made nether heaue ner earth: therfore shal they perish fro the earth, and from all thinges vnder heauen. ¹² But (as for oure God) he made the earth with his power, and with his wisdome hath he fynished the whole compasse of the worlde, with his discrecion hath he spred out the heauens,

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth (saieth the LORDE) that I wil rayse vp the rightuous braunch off Dauid, which shall beare rule, and discusse matters with wy?dome, and shall set vp equyte and rightuousnes agayne in the earth. ⁶ In his tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israel shal dwell with out feare. And this is the name that they shall call him: euen the LORDE oure rightuous maker.

¹² Euen when they spake to their mothers: where is meate and drynke? for whyle they so sayde, they fell downe in the stretes of the cite, like as they had bene wounded, and some dyed in their mothers bosome.

¹ It chaused, in the xxx. yeare the fifth daye off the fourth Moneth, that I was amonge the presoners by the ryuer off Cobar: where the heauens opened, & I sawe a vision of God.

²⁶ Aboue the firmament that was ouer their heades, there was the fashion off a seate, as it had bene made off Saphir. Apon the seate there sat one like a ma. ²⁷ I behelde him, and he was like a cleare light, as it had bene all of fyre with in from his loynes vpwarde. And beneth when I loked vpon him vnder ye loynes, me thought he was like a shyninge fyre, that geueth light on euery syde. Yee the shyne and glistre yt lightened rounde aboute, ²⁸ was like a raynbowe, which in a raynie daye apeareth in the cloudes. Eue so was the similitude, wherin the glory off the LORDE apeared. Whe I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and herkened vnto the voyce off him, that spake.

²¹ and shalt saye vnto them: Thus saieth the LORDE God: beholde I wil take awaye the childre of Israel from amonge the Heithen, vnto whom they be gone, and wil gather them together on euery syde, and bringe them agayne in to their owne londe: ²² yee I wil make one people of the in ye londe, vpon the mountaynes of Israel, and they all shal haue but one kinge. They shall nomore be two peoples from hensforth, nether be deuyded in to two kingdomes: ²³ they shal also defyle the selues nomore with their abhominacions, Idols and all their wickeddoinges. I wil helpe the out of all their dwellinge places, wherin they haue synned: & will so clense them, that they shalbe my people, and I their God. ²⁴ Dauid my seruaunt shalbe their kinge, & they all shal haue one shepherde only. They shal walke in my lawes, and my commaundementes shalt they both kepe & fulfill. ²⁵ They shal dwell in the londe, that I gaue vnto Iacob my seruaunt, where as youre fathers also haue dwelt. Yee eue in the same londe shal they, their children, & their childers children dwell for euermore: and my seruaunt Dauid shal be their euerlastynge prynce.

⁹ I loked till the seates were prepared, ad till the olde aged sat him downe. His clothinge was as white as snowe, and the hayres of his heade like the pure woll. His trone was like the firie flame, and his wheles as the burnynge fyre. ¹⁰ There drew forth a firie streame, & wente out from him. A thousand tymes a thousande serued him, x.M. tymes ten thousande stode before him. The iudgmet was set, and the bokes opened.

¹³ I sawe in a vision by night, and beholde: there came one in the cloudes of heauen like the sonne of a man, which wente vnto the olde aged, before whom they brought him: ¹⁴ Then gaue he him power ad dignite regall, that all people, trybes and tunges shulde serue him. His power is an euerlastinge power, which shal neuer be put downe: & his kyngdome endureth vncorrupte.

²⁴ Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, & ouer thy holy cite: that the wickednesse maye be consumed, that the synne maye haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to bringe in euerlastinge rightuousnesse, to fulfill ye visions and the prophetes, and to anoynte the most holy one. ²⁵ Vnderstode this then, and marcke it well: that from the tyme it shalbe concluded, to go and repayre Ierusalem agayne, vnto Christ (or the anoynted) prynce: there shalbe seuen wekes. Then shall the stretes & walles be buylded agayne lxij. wekes, but with harde troublous tyme.

²⁵ Vnderstode this then, and marcke it well: that from the tyme it shalbe concluded, to go and repayre Ierusalem agayne, vnto Christ (or the anoynted) prynce: there shalbe seuen wekes. Then shall the stretes & walles be buylded agayne lxij. wekes, but with harde troublous tyme. ²⁶ After these lxij. wekes, shal Christ be slayne, & they shal haue no pleasure in him. Then shal there come a people with the prynce, and destroye the cite and the sanctuary: and his ende shal come as the water floude. But the desolacion shall continue till the ende of the batell.

¹⁰ And though the nombre of the children of Israel be as the sonde of the see, which can nether be measured ner tolde: Yet in the place where it is sayde vnto them, ye be not my people: euen there shall it be thus reported of them: they be ye childre of the lyuynge God.

⁵ But afterwarde shal the children of Israel conuerte, and seke the LORDE their God, and Dauid their kinge: and in ye latter dayes they shal worshipe the LORDE, and his louynge kyndnesse.

³ He toke his brother by the hele, when he was yet in his mothers wombe: and in his strength he wrestled with God. ⁴ He stroue with the Angel, and gat the victory: so that he prayde and desyred him. He fande him at Bethel, & there he talked wt vs. ⁵ Yee the LORDE God of hoostes, euen ye LORDE him self remembred him:

² Take these wordes with you, when ye turne to the LORDE, & saye vnto him: O forgeue vs all oure synnes, receaue vs graciously, & then wil we offre ye bullockes of oure lyppes vnto the.

² And thou Bethleem Ephrata, art litle amonge the thousandes off Iuda, Out off the shal come one vnto me, which shall be ye gouernoure i Israel: whose outgoinge hath bene from the begynnynge, and from euerlastinge.

²⁰ Thou shalt kepe thy trust with Iacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworne vnto oure fathers longe agoo.

¹⁵ for the LORDE hath taken awaye thy punyshment, and turned backe thine enemies. The kinge of Israel, euen the LORDE himself is with the: so that thou nedest nomore to feare eny my?fortune.

⁷ What art thou (thou greate mountayne) before Zorobabel? thou must be made eauen. And he shal bringe vp the first stone, so that men shall crie vnto him: good lucke, good lucke.

¹² and speake vnto him: Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: Beholde, the man whose name is the braunch: & he that shall springe vp after him, shal buylde vp the temple of the LORDE:

¹² and speake vnto him: Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: Beholde, the man whose name is the braunch: & he that shall springe vp after him, shal buylde vp the temple of the LORDE: ¹³ yee euen he shall buylde vp the temple of the LORDE. He shal beare the prayse, he shall syt vpon the LORDES trone, and haue the dominaciou. A prest shall he be also vpon his trone, & a peaceable councell shalbe betwixte them both.

²¹ and they that dwell in one cite, shal go to another, sayenge: Vp, let vs go, and praye before the LORDE, let vs seke the LORDE of hoostes, I wil go with you.

⁹ Reioyce thou greatly, o doughter Sion: be glad, o doughter Ierusalem. For lo, thy kinge commeth vnto the, euen the rightuous and Sauioure: Lowly and symple is he, he rydeth vpon an asse, and vpo the foale of an asse.

⁷ Arise (o thou swearde) vpon my shepherde, and vpon the prynce of my people, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes: Smyte the shepherde and the shepe shalbe scatred abrode, and so will I turne myne honde to the litle ones.

¹ Beholde, I wil sende my messaunger, which shal prepare the waye before me: and the LORDE whom ye wolde haue, shal soone come to his temple, yee euen the messaunger of the couenaunt whom ye longe for. Beholde, he commeth, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes.

¹ Beholde, I wil sende my messaunger, which shal prepare the waye before me: and the LORDE whom ye wolde haue, shal soone come to his temple, yee euen the messaunger of the couenaunt whom ye longe for. Beholde, he commeth, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes. ² But who maye abyde the daye of his commynge? Who shalbe able to endure, when he appeareth? For he is like a goldsmythes fyre, ad like wasshers sope.

¹⁶ But they that feare God, saye thus one to another: The LORDE cosidreth and heareth it. Yee it is before him a memoriall boke written for soch as feare the LORDE, and remembre his name.

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall the Sone of rightuousnesse aryse, & health shalbe vnder his winges. Ye shal go forth, & multiplie as ye fat calues.

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall the Sone of rightuousnesse aryse, & health shalbe vnder his winges. Ye shal go forth, & multiplie as ye fat calues. ³ Ye shal treade downe ye vngodly: for they shalbe like the asshes vnder the soles of youre fete, in the daye yt I shal make, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes. ⁴ Remembre the lawe of Moses my seruaunt, which I committed vnto him in Oreb for all Israel, with the statutes and ordinaunces. ⁵ Beholde, I will sende you Elias ye prophet: before the comynge off the daye of the great and fearfull LORDE.

⁵ Beholde, I will sende you Elias ye prophet: before the comynge off the daye of the great and fearfull LORDE.

⁵ Beholde, I will sende you Elias ye prophet: before the comynge off the daye of the great and fearfull LORDE. ⁶ He shall turne the hertes of the fathers to their children and the hertes of the children to their fathers, that I come not, and smyte the earth with cursynge.

¹⁶ Iacob begat Ioseph the hussbande of Mary, of who was borne that Iesus, which is called Christ.

²⁰ Neuertheles whyle he thus thought, beholde, the angell of the LORDE appered vnto him in a dreame, saynge: Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is coceaued in her, is of ye holy goost. ²¹ She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from their synnes.

²¹ She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from their synnes. ²² All this was done, yt the thinge might, be fulfilled, which was spoken of the LORDE by the Prophet, saynge: ²³ Beholde, a mayde shall be with chylde, and shall brynge forth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which is by interpretacion, God wt vs.

²³ Beholde, a mayde shall be with chylde, and shall brynge forth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which is by interpretacion, God wt vs.

² saynge: Where is the new borne kynge of the Iues? We haue sene his starre in the east, and are come to worship him.

²³ and went and dwelt in a cite called Nazareth, to fulfill yt which was spoken by the Prophetes: he shalbe called a Nazarite.

¹ In those dayes Ihon the Baptyst came and preached in the wildernes of Iury, ² saynge: Amede youre selues, the kyngdome of heuen is at honde. ³ This is he, of whom it is spoke by ye Prophet Esay, which sayeth: The voyce of a cryer in ye wyldernes, prepare the LORDES waye, and make his pathes straight.

³ This is he, of whom it is spoke by ye Prophet Esay, which sayeth: The voyce of a cryer in ye wyldernes, prepare the LORDES waye, and make his pathes straight. ⁴ This Ihon had his garment of camels heer, and a lethre gerdell aboute his loynes. Hys meate was locustes and wylde hony. ⁵ Then went out to hym Ierusalem, and all Iury, and all the region rounde aboute Iordan, ⁶ and were baptised of him in Iordan, cofessynge their synnes.

⁶ and were baptised of him in Iordan, cofessynge their synnes. ⁷ Now when he sawe many of the Pharises and of ye Saduces come to hys baptim, he sayde vnto them: ye generacio of vipers, who hath certified you, that ye shal escape ye vengeaunce to come? ⁸ Bewarre, brynge forth due frutes of pennaunce. ⁹ Thinke not now, to saye in your selues, we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you, that God is able of these stones to rayse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.

¹³ Then came Iesus from Galile to Iordan, vnto Ihon, to be baptised of hym. ¹⁴ But Iho forbade hym, saynge: I haue nede to be baptysed of the: and commest thou to me?

¹⁵ Iesus answered & sayd vnto hym: Let it be so now. For thus it be commeth vs to fulfyll all righteousnes. Then he suffred hym. ¹⁶ And Iesus assone as he was baptised, came straight out of the water. And lo, heue was ope ouer hym: and Ihon sawe the spirite of God descende lyke a doue, and lyght vpon hym.

¹⁶ And Iesus assone as he was baptised, came straight out of the water. And lo, heue was ope ouer hym: and Ihon sawe the spirite of God descende lyke a doue, and lyght vpon hym. ¹⁷ And lo, there came a voyce fro heue sayng: Thys ys that my beloued sonne, in whom is my delyte.

³ And the tepter came to him and sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God, commaunde, that these stones be made breed.

⁶ and sayde vnto hym: yf thou be ye sonne of God, cast thy sylfe downe. For it is wrytten: he shall geue his angels charge ouer the and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

¹¹ Then the deuell left hym, and beholde, the angels came and ministred vnto hym.

¹⁶ the people which sat in darknes, sawe a greate lyght, & to them which sat in the region & shadowe of deeth, lyght is begone to shyne.

¹⁸ As Iesus walked by the see of Galile, he sawe two brethren: Simon which was called Peter, & Andrew his brother, castynge a net into ye see, for they were fisshers,

³² As for Peter and them that were with him, they were full of slepe. But whan they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men stondynge with him.

¹³ Wo vnto the Chorazin, wo vnto the Bethsaida: for yf the miracles which haue bene done amonge you had bene done at Tyre and Sidon, they had done pennaunce longe agoo, syttinge in sack cloth and in asshes.

²² All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father: and no man knoweth who the sonne is, but onely the father: nether who the father is, saue onely the sonne, and he to who the sonne wil open it.

³⁹ And she had a sister, called Mary, which sat hir downe at Iesus fete, and herkened vnto his worde.

³⁹ But the LORDE sayde vnto him: Now do ye Pharises make cleane the out syde of the cuppe and platter, but youre inwarde partes are full of robbery and wickednesse. ⁴⁰ Ye fooles, is a thinge made cleane within, because the outsyde is clensed? ⁴¹ Neuertheles geue almesse of that ye haue, and beholde, all is cleane vnto you. ⁴² But wo vnto you Pharises, ye that tythe mynt and rewe, and all maner herbes, and passe ouer iudgmet and ye loue of God. These ought to haue bene done, and not to leaue the other vndone. ⁴³ Wo vnto you Pharises, for ye loue to syt vppermost in the synagoges, and to be saluted in the market. ⁴⁴ Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharyses, ye ypocrites, for ye are like couered sepulcres, where ouer men walke, and are not awarre of them.

⁵³ Whan he spake thus vnto them, the scrybes and Pharyses beganne to preasse sore vpon him, and to stoppe his mouth with many questions,

⁵⁷ Yee and why iugde ye not of youre selues, what is right?

²⁵ There wente moch people with him, and he turned him aboute and sayde vnto them:

²⁰ And he gat him vp, & came vnto his father. But whan he was yet a greate waye of, his father sawe him, and had copassion, and ranne, and fell aboute his neck, and kyssed him.

¹⁴ All these thinges herde the Pharises, which were couetous, and they mocked hi.

²² But it fortuned, that the poore man dyed, and was caried of the angels in to Abrahams bosome. The riche man dyed also, and was buried. ²³ Now whan he was in the hell, he lift vp his eyes in the payne, and sawe Abraham afarre of, and Lazarus in his bosome:

⁴⁰ Iesus stode styl, & comaunded hi to be brought vnto hi. And whan he was come neare, he axed him ⁴¹ and sayde: What wilt thou, that I do vnto the? He sayde: LORDE, that I maye receaue my sight.

⁵ And whan Iesus came to the same place, he loked vp, and sawe him, and sayde vnto him: Zache, come downe haistely, for todaye must I turne in to thy house.

¹⁰ For the sonne of ma is come, to seke and to saue that which was lost.

¹⁴ But his citesyns hated him, and sent a message after him, and sayde: We wil not haue this man to raigne ouer vs.

³⁸ and sayde: Blessed be he, that cometh a kynge in the name of the LORDE. Peace be in heauen, and prayse in the height.

¹³ Then sayde the lorde of the vynyarde: What shal I do? I wil sende my deare sonne, peraduenture they wil stonde in awe of him, whan they se him. ¹⁴ But whan the hussbande men sawe the sonne, they thought in the selues, and sayde: This is the heyre, come, let vs kyll him, yt the inheritaunce maye be oures. ¹⁵ And they thrust him out of ye vynyarde, and slew him. What shal now the lorde of the vynyarde do vnto them?

¹⁵ for I wil geue you mouth & wyssdome, agaynst the which all youre aduersaries shal not be able to speake ner to resist.

⁴³ And there appeared vnto him an angell fro heauen, and conforted him.

⁶¹ And the LORDE turned him aboute and loked vpo Peter. And Peter remembred the wordes of ye LORDE, how he sayde vnto him: Before the cock crowe, thou shalt denye me thryse.

⁶⁹ From this tyme forth shal the sonne of man sytt at the right hade of the power of God.

⁴ And it happened as they were amased therat, beholde, there stode by them two men in shyninge garmentes.

²⁷ And he beganne at Moses and at all the prophetes, and expounded vnto them all the scriptures, that were spoken of him.

²⁹ And they compelled him, and sayde: Abyde with vs, for it draweth towardes night, and the daye is farre passed. And he wente in to tary with the.

⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them: These are the wordes, which I spake vnto you, whyle I was yet with you. For it must all be fulfilled that was wrytten of me in the lawe of Moses, in the prophetes, & in the Psalmes.

¹ In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was with God, and God was ye worde.

¹ In the begynnynge was the worde, and the worde was with God, and God was ye worde. ² The same was in the begynnynge wt God.

² The same was in the begynnynge wt God.

⁴ In him was the life, and the life was the light of men: ⁵ and the light shyneth in the darknesse, and the darknesse comprehended it not.

⁷ The same came for a witnesse, to beare wytnesse of ye light, that thorow him they all might beleue.

⁷ The same came for a witnesse, to beare wytnesse of ye light, that thorow him they all might beleue. ⁸ He was not that light, but that he might beare witnesse of ye light.

⁸ He was not that light, but that he might beare witnesse of ye light. ⁹ That was the true light, which lighteth all men, that come in to this worlde.

⁹ That was the true light, which lighteth all men, that come in to this worlde. ¹⁰ He was in the worlde, & the worlde was made by him, and ye worlde knewe him not.

¹⁰ He was in the worlde, & the worlde was made by him, and ye worlde knewe him not. ¹¹ He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not. ¹² But as many as receaued him, to them gaue he power to be the children of God: euen soch as beleue in his name.

¹⁴ And the worde became flesh, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe his glory, a glory as of the onely begotte sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth. ¹⁵ Ihon bare wytnesse of him, cryed, and sayde: It was this, of whom I spake: After me shal he come, that was before me, For he was or euer I: ¹⁶ and of his fulnesse haue all we receaued grace for grace. ¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, grace and trueth came by Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared the same vnto vs.

¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared the same vnto vs. ¹⁹ And this is the recorde of Ihon, whan the Iewes sent prestes and Leuites fro Ierusalem, to axe him: Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed and denyed not. And he confessed, and sayde: I am not Christ.

²⁰ And he confessed and denyed not. And he confessed, and sayde: I am not Christ. ²¹ And they axed him: What the? Art thou Elias? He sayde: I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he answered: No. ²² Then sayde they vnto him: What art thou the, yt we maye geue answere vnto the that sent vs? What sayest thou of yi self?

²⁵ And they axed him, & sayde vnto him: Why baptysest thou then, yf thou be not Christ, ner Elias, ner a prophet? ²⁶ Ihon answered them, and sayde: I baptyse with water, but there is one come in amonge you, whom ye knowe not. ²⁷ It is he that cometh after me, which was before me: whose shue lachet I am not worthy to vnlowse.

²⁷ It is he that cometh after me, which was before me: whose shue lachet I am not worthy to vnlowse. ²⁸ This was done at Bethabara beyonde Iordane, where Ihon dyd baptyse. ²⁹ The nexte daye after, Ihon sawe Iesus commynge vnto him, and sayde: Beholde the labe of God, which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.

²⁹ The nexte daye after, Ihon sawe Iesus commynge vnto him, and sayde: Beholde the labe of God, which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. ³⁰ This is he, of whom I sayde vnto you: After me commeth a man, which was before me. For he was or euer I,

³⁰ This is he, of whom I sayde vnto you: After me commeth a man, which was before me. For he was or euer I, ³¹ and I knewe him not: but that he shulde be declared in Israel, therfore am I come to baptyse with water.

³¹ and I knewe him not: but that he shulde be declared in Israel, therfore am I come to baptyse with water. ³² And Ihon bare recorde, & sayde: I sawe the sprete descende from heauen like vnto a doue, and abode vpon him, ³³ & I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptyse with water, ye same sayde vnto me: Vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him, the same is he, that baptyseth with the holy goost.

³³ & I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptyse with water, ye same sayde vnto me: Vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him, the same is he, that baptyseth with the holy goost. ³⁴ And I sawe it, and bare recorde, that this is the sonne of God.

³⁴ And I sawe it, and bare recorde, that this is the sonne of God. ³⁵ The nexte daye after, Ihon stode agayne, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And wha he sawe Iesus walkynge, he sayde: Beholde the labe of God.

³⁶ And wha he sawe Iesus walkynge, he sayde: Beholde the labe of God. ³⁷ And two of his disciples herde him speake, and folowed Iesus. ³⁸ And Iesus turned him aboute, and sawe them folowinge, and sayde vnto the: What seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi, (which is to saye by interpretacion, Master.) Where art thou at lodginge?

⁴⁰ One of the two, which herde Ihon speake, and folowed Iesus, was Andrew the brother of Symon Peter: ⁴¹ the same founde first his brother Symon, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde Messias (which is by interpretacion, ye Anoynted) ⁴² and brought him to Iesus. Whan Iesus behelde him, he sayde: Thou art Symon the sonne of Ionas, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretacion, a stone. ⁴³ The nexte daye after, wolde Iesus go agayne in to Galile, and founde Philippe, and sayde vnto him: Folowe me.

⁴⁵ Philippe founde Nathanael, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde him, of who Moses in the lawe, and ye prophetes haue wrytten, euen Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathanaell sayde vnto him: What good can come out of Nazareth? Philippe sayde vnto him: Come, and se.

⁴⁶ And Nathanaell sayde vnto him: What good can come out of Nazareth? Philippe sayde vnto him: Come, and se. ⁴⁷ Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, and sayde of him: Beholde, a righte Israelite, in whom is no gyle. ⁴⁸ Nathanael sayde vnto him: From whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Before yt Philippe called the, whan thou wast vnder the fygge tre, I sawe the. ⁴⁹ Nathanaell answered, and sayde vnto hi: Rabbi, thou art ye sonne of God, thou art ye kynge of Israel.

¹¹ This is the first token that Iesus dyd at Cana in Galile, and shewed his glory, and his disciples beleued on him.

¹⁸ Then answered the Iewes, and sayde vnto him: What token shewest thou vnto vs, that thou mayest do these thinges?

²³ Wha he was at Ierusale at Easter in ye feast, many beleued on his name, whan they sawe ye tokes yt he dyd. ²⁴ But Iesus comytted not himself vnto the, for he knewe the all, ²⁵ & neded not yt eny ma shulde testifye of man, for he knewe well what was in man.

²⁵ & neded not yt eny ma shulde testifye of man, for he knewe well what was in man.

¹ There was a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus a ruler amoge the Iewes. ² The same came vnto Iesus by night, & sayde vnto hi: Master, we knowe yt thou art come a teacher fro God: for no ma can do these tokes yt thou doest, excepte God be with him.

² The same came vnto Iesus by night, & sayde vnto hi: Master, we knowe yt thou art come a teacher fro God: for no ma can do these tokes yt thou doest, excepte God be with him. ³ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a man be borne a new, he can not se the kyngdome of God.

⁵ Iesus answered: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a ma be borne of water and of the sprete, he can not come in to ye kyngdome of God.

⁵ Iesus answered: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a ma be borne of water and of the sprete, he can not come in to ye kyngdome of God. ⁶ That which is borne of flesh, is flesh: & that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete. ⁷ Maruell not, that I sayde vnto ye: Ye must be borne of new. ⁸ The wynde bloweth where he wyl, and thou hearest his sounde: but thou canst not tell whece he commeth, and whither he goeth. So is euery one, that is borne of the sprete.

¹³ And no man ascendeth vp in to heauen, but he that is come downe from heaue, (namely) the sonne of man which is in heauen. ¹⁴ And like as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wyldernes, euen so must the sonne of man be lift vp,

¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his onely sonne, that who so euer beleueth in hi, shulde not perishe, but haue euerlastinge life.

¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his onely sonne, that who so euer beleueth in hi, shulde not perishe, but haue euerlastinge life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne in to ye worlde to condempne the worlde, but that the worlde might be saued by him. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, shal not be codemned. But he that beleueth not, is codemned allready: because he beleueth not on the name of the onely sonne of God.

¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, shal not be codemned. But he that beleueth not, is codemned allready: because he beleueth not on the name of the onely sonne of God. ¹⁹ But this is ye codempnacion, that the light is come in to the worlde, and men loued the darknesse more the ye light: for their workes were euell. ²⁰ Whosoeuer doth euell, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his dedes shulde not be reproued.

²³ Ihon baptysed also in Enon besyde Salem: for there was moch water there. And they came thither, and were baptysed:

²⁵ Then arose there a question amonge the disciples of Ihon with the Iewes aboute the purifienge, ²⁶ and they came vnto Ihon, and sayde vnto him: Master, he yt was with the beyonde Iordan, of whom thou barest wytnesse, beholde, he baptyseth, and euery man cometh vnto him.

²⁶ and they came vnto Ihon, and sayde vnto him: Master, he yt was with the beyonde Iordan, of whom thou barest wytnesse, beholde, he baptyseth, and euery man cometh vnto him.

²⁶ and they came vnto Ihon, and sayde vnto him: Master, he yt was with the beyonde Iordan, of whom thou barest wytnesse, beholde, he baptyseth, and euery man cometh vnto him. ²⁷ Ihon answered and sayde: A man can receaue nothinge, excepte it be geuen him from heaue. ²⁸ Ye youreselues are my witnesses, how that I sayde, I am not Christ, but am sent before him.

²⁸ Ye youreselues are my witnesses, how that I sayde, I am not Christ, but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome: but the frende of the brydegrome stondeth, and herkeneth vnto him, and reioyseth greatly ouer the voyce of the brydegrome, this same ioye of myne is now fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increace, but I must decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all. He that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth. He that commeth fro heauen, is aboue all, ³² and testifieth what he hath sene & herde, and no man receaueth his wytnesse.

³² and testifieth what he hath sene & herde, and no man receaueth his wytnesse. ³³ But he that receaueth it, hath set to his seale, that God is true. ³⁴ For he who God hath sent, speaketh ye wordes of God: for God geueth not the sprete (vnto him) by measure.

³⁴ For he who God hath sent, speaketh ye wordes of God: for God geueth not the sprete (vnto him) by measure. ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen him all thinges in to his hande. ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastinge life: he that beleueth not the sonne, shal not se the life, but ye wrath of God abydeth vpon him.

²⁵ The woma sayde vnto him: I wote that Messias shal come, which is called Christ. Whan he commeth, he shal tell vs all thinges.

²⁸ Then the woman let hir pot stonde, and wente in to the cite, and sayde vnto the people: ²⁹ Come, se a man, which hath tolde me all that euer I dyd, Is not he Christ?

²⁹ Come, se a man, which hath tolde me all that euer I dyd, Is not he Christ?

³⁹ Many Samaritans of the same cite beleued on him, for the sayenge of the woman, which testified: He hath tolde me all that euer I dyd. ⁴⁰ Now whan the Samaritans came to him, they besought him, that he wolde tary with them. And he abode there two dayes,

⁴⁰ Now whan the Samaritans came to him, they besought him, that he wolde tary with them. And he abode there two dayes, ⁴¹ and many mo beleued because of his worde, ⁴² and sayde vnto the woman: We beleue now hence forth, not because of thy sayenge, we haue herde him oureselues, and knowe, that this of a trueth is Christ the Sauioure of the worlde.

¹⁰ Then sayde the Iewes vnto him that was made whole: To daye is ye Sabbath, it is not laufull for the to cary the bed.

¹⁷ But Iesus answered them: My father worketh hither to, and I worke also.

¹⁷ But Iesus answered them: My father worketh hither to, and I worke also. ¹⁸ Therfore sought the Iewes the more to slaye hi: because he brake not onely ye Sabbath, but saide also, that God was his father, and made him self equall with God. ¹⁹ The answered Iesus, and sayde vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: The sonne can do nothinge of himself, but that he seyth the father do. For what soeuer he doeth, that doeth ye sonne also.

¹⁹ The answered Iesus, and sayde vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: The sonne can do nothinge of himself, but that he seyth the father do. For what soeuer he doeth, that doeth ye sonne also.

²¹ For as the father rayseth vp the deed, and maketh them lyue, eue so the sonne also maketh lyuynge whom he wyll.

²³ that they all might honoure the sonne, euen as they honoure ye father. Who so honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father, which hath sent him. ²⁴ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Who so heareth my worde, and beleueth him that sent me, hath euerlastinge life, and cometh not in to damnacion, but is passed thorow from death vnto life.

²⁴ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Who so heareth my worde, and beleueth him that sent me, hath euerlastinge life, and cometh not in to damnacion, but is passed thorow from death vnto life. ²⁵ Verely verely I saye vnto you: The houre cometh, & is now allready, yt the deed shal heare ye voyce of ye sonne of God: and they that heare it, shal lyue.

²⁵ Verely verely I saye vnto you: The houre cometh, & is now allready, yt the deed shal heare ye voyce of ye sonne of God: and they that heare it, shal lyue. ²⁶ For as the father hath life in him self, so likewyse hath he geuen vnto the sonne, to haue life in himself:

²⁶ For as the father hath life in him self, so likewyse hath he geuen vnto the sonne, to haue life in himself: ²⁷ & hath geue hi power also to execute iudgmet because he is the sonne of ma.

²⁷ & hath geue hi power also to execute iudgmet because he is the sonne of ma.

³² There is another that beareth wytnesse of me, and I am sure, that the wytnesse which he beareth of me, is true. ³³ Ye sent vnto Ihon, and he bare wytnes of the trueth.

³³ Ye sent vnto Ihon, and he bare wytnes of the trueth. ³⁴ As for me, I take no recorde of ma, but these thinges I saye, that ye might be saued.

³⁴ As for me, I take no recorde of ma, but these thinges I saye, that ye might be saued. ³⁵ He was a burnynge and shyninge light, but ye wolde haue reioysed a litle whyle in his light.

³⁵ He was a burnynge and shyninge light, but ye wolde haue reioysed a litle whyle in his light. ³⁶ Neuertheles I haue a greater wytnesse then the wytnesse of Ihon. For the workes which the father hath geue me to fynish, the same workes which I do, beare wytnesse of me, that the father hath sent me.

⁴⁵ Ye shall not thynke that I wyll accuse you before ye father: there is one yt accuseth you, euen Moses, in who ye trust.

⁴⁵ Ye shall not thynke that I wyll accuse you before ye father: there is one yt accuseth you, euen Moses, in who ye trust. ⁴⁶ Yf ye beleued Moses, ye shulde beleue me also: For he hath wrytte of me.

⁵ Then Iesus lift vp his eyes, and sawe yt there came moch people vnto him, and he sayde vnto Philippe: Whence shal we bye bred, yt these maye eate?

⁷ Philippe answered him: Two hundreth peny worth of bred is not ynough amonge the, yt euery one maye take a litle. ⁸ The sayde vnto hi one of his disciples, Andrew ye brother of Symo Peter:

²⁵ And whan they founde him on the other syde of the see, they sayde vnto him: Master, whan camest thou hither? ²⁶ Iesus answered the, & sayde: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Ye seke me not because ye sawe ye tokes, but because ye ate of the loaues, and were fylled.

³² Then sayde Iesus vnto the: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Moses gaue you not bred from heaue, but my father geueth you the true bred from heauen:

³⁷ All that my father geueth me, cometh vnto me: and who so cometh vnto me, him wyl not I cast out:

⁴¹ The murmured the Iewes ther ouer, that he sayde: I am yt bred which is come downe from heaue, ⁴² and they sayde: Is not this Iesus, Iosephs sonne, whose father and mother we knowe? How sayeth he then, I am come downe from heauen?

⁴⁶ Not that eny man hath sene the father, saue he which is of the father, the same hath sene the father. ⁴⁷ Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that beleueth on me, hath euerlastinge life.

⁵¹ I am that lyuynge bred, which came downe fro heauen: Who so eateth of this bred, shal lyue for euer. And the bred that I wil geue, is my flesh which I wil geue for ye life of the worlde. ⁵² Then stroue the Iewes amonge them selues, and sayde: How ca this folowe geue vs his flesh to eate? ⁵³ Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Excepte ye eate ye flesh of ye sonne of man and drynke his bloude, ye haue no life in you.

⁶⁹ and we haue beleued & knowne, that thou art Christ the sonne of the lyuynge God. ⁷⁰ Iesus answered them. Haue I not chosen you twolue, and one of you is a deuell? ⁷¹ But he spake of Iudas Symon Iscarioth: the same betrayed him afterwarde, and was one of the twolue.

¹² And there was a greate murmur of him amonge the people. Some sayde: He is good. But other sayde: No, he doth but disceaue the people.

¹⁹ Hath not Moses geuen you the lawe? and none of you kepeth the lawe? Why go ye aboute to kyll me?

⁴⁰ Many of the people now whan they herde this sayenge, sayde: This is a very prophet. ⁴¹ Other sayde: He is Christ. But some sayde: Shal Christ come out of Galile? ⁴² Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shal come of the sede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethleem, where Dauid was?

⁴⁷ Then answered them the pharises: Are ye also disceaued? ⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or pharises beleue on him? ⁴⁹ But the comon people which knowe not the lawe, are cursed.

⁵² They answered and sayde vnto him? Art thou a Galilean also? Searche and loke, out of Galile aryseth no prophet.

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, and sayde: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me, shal not walke in darknesse, but shal haue the light of life.

¹⁹ Then sayde they vnto him: Where is thy father? Iesus answered: Ye nether knowe me ner yet my father.Yf ye knewe me, ye shulde knowe my father also.

³¹ Yf ye contynue in my worde, then are ye my very disciples, ³² and ye shall knowe the trueth, and the trueth shal make you fre. ³³ Then answered they him: We are Abrahams sede, we were neuer bonde to eny man, how sayest thou then: Ye shal be fre? ³⁴ Iesus answered them, and sayde: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Who so euer doth synne,

³⁴ Iesus answered them, and sayde: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Who so euer doth synne, ³⁵ is the seruaunt of synne: As for the seruaunt, he abydeth not in the house for euer, ³⁶ but the sonne abydeth euer. Yf the sonne therfore make you fre, then are ye fre in dede. ³⁷ I knowe that ye are Abrahams sede, but ye seke to kyll me. For my worde taketh not amonge you. ³⁸ I speake that I haue sene of my father, & ye do that ye haue sene of youre father. ³⁹ They answered, and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayde vnto them: Yf ye were Abrahams children, ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham.

³⁹ They answered, and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayde vnto them: Yf ye were Abrahams children, ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But now ye go aboute to kyll me, a man, that haue tolde you the trueth, which I haue herde of God, this dyd not Abraham. ⁴¹ Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: We are not borne of fornicacion, we haue one father, euen God.

⁵¹ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Yf eny man kepe my worde, he shal neuer se death.

⁵⁸ Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Or euer Abraham was, I am.

⁵ As longe as I am in the worlde, I am the light of the worlde.

²⁹ We are sure that God spake wt Moses: As for this felowe, we know not whece he is.

¹ Verely verely I saye vnto you: He yt entreth not in at the dore in to the shepefolde, but clymmeth vp some other waye, the same is a thefe & a murthurer.

⁷ Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne: Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe.

²⁴ The came ye Iewes rounde aboute hi, & saide vnto hi: How loge dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ, tell vs planely.

³⁰ I and the father are one.

³⁰ I and the father are one. ³¹ Then the Iewes toke vp stones agayne, to stone him. ³² Iesus answered the: Many good workes haue I shewed you fro my father, for which of the stone ye me? ³³ The Iewes answered hi, and sayde: For the good worke sake we stone the not, but for the blasphemy: and because yt thou beynge a man, makest thyself God.

³⁶ saye ye the vnto hi, who ye father hath sanctified & sent in to ye worlde: thou blasphemest God, because I sayde: I am ye sonne of God?

⁴⁰ and wete awaye agayne beyode Iordane, into ye place where Iho had baptysed before, & there he abode.

²⁵ Iesus saide vnto her: I am the resurreccion & the life He yt beleueth on me, shal lyue, though he were deed allready:

²⁷ She saide vnto him: Yee LORDE, I beleue, that thou art Christ the sonne of God, which shulde come into the worlde.

⁴⁰ Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the, that yf thou dyddest beleue, thou shuldest se the glory of God?

⁵² and not for the people onely, but that he shulde gather together the children of God, which were scatered abrode:

⁵ Why was not this oyntment solde for thre hundreth pens, and geuen to the poore?

¹³ they toke braunches of palme trees, and wete out to mete him, and cryed: Hosianna, Blessed be he, that in the name of the LORDE commeth kynge of Israel. ¹⁴ Iesus gat a yonge Asse, and rode theron, As it is wrytte: ¹⁵ Feare not thou doughter of Sion, beholde, thy kynge cometh rydinge vpo an Asses foale.

²¹ the same came vnto Philippe, which was of Bethsaida out of Galile, & prayed him, and sayde: Syr, we wolde fayne se Iesus.

²³ Iesus answered the, and sayde: The houre is come, that the sonne of man must be glorified. ²⁴ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Excepte the wheatcorne fall in to the grounde, and dye, it bydeth alone: But yf it dye, it bryngeth forth moch frute.

³⁵ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: The light is yet a litle whyle with you, walke whyle ye haue the light, that the darknesse fall not vpo you. He that walketh in the darknesse, woteth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ Beleue ye on the light, whyle ye haue it, that ye maye be the children of light. These thinges spake Iesus, and departed awaye, and hyd himself from them. ³⁷ And though he had done soch tokens before the, yet beleued they not on him, ³⁸ that the sayenge of Esay the prophet might be fulfylled, which he spake: LORDE, who beleueth oure preachinge? Or to whom is the arme of the LORDE opened? ³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleue, for Esay saide agayne: ⁴⁰ He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shulde not se with the eyes, ner vnderstonde with the hert, & shulde be conuerted, and he shulde heale them.

⁴⁰ He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shulde not se with the eyes, ner vnderstonde with the hert, & shulde be conuerted, and he shulde heale them. ⁴¹ This sayde Esay, whan he sawe his glory, and spake of him.

⁴¹ This sayde Esay, whan he sawe his glory, and spake of him.

⁴⁶ I am come a light in to the worlde, that whosoeuer beleueth on me, shulde not byde in darknesse.

¹⁶ Verely verely I saye vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then his lorde, nether is the Apostell greater then he that sent him.

¹⁸ I speake not of you all, I knowe whom I haue chosen, but that the scripture might be fulfilled: He yt eateth my bred, hath lift vp his hele against me.

²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that receaueth whom so euer I sende, receaueth me: and he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. ²¹ Whan Iesus had thus sayde, he was heuy in sprete, and testified, and sayde: Verely verely I saye vnto you: One amonge you shal betraye me.

²³ But there was one amoge his disciples, that leaned at the table on Iesus bosome, who Iesus loued:

³⁸ Iesus answered him: Wilt thou geue thy life for my sake? Verely verely I saye vnto ye. The cock shal not crowe, tyll thou haue denyed me thryse.

⁶ Iesus sayde vnto him: I am the waye, and the trueth, and the life. Noman cometh to the father but by me.

⁸ Philippe sayde vnto him: LORDE, shewe vs the father, and it sufficeth vs.

⁸ Philippe sayde vnto him: LORDE, shewe vs the father, and it sufficeth vs. ⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Thus longe am I with you, and hast thou not knowne me? Philippe, he that seyth me, seyth the father. And how sayest thou then: Shewe vs the father?

⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Thus longe am I with you, and hast thou not knowne me? Philippe, he that seyth me, seyth the father. And how sayest thou then: Shewe vs the father?

¹² Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that beleueth on me, shal do the workes that I do, and shal do greater then these: for I go to the father.

²² Iudas sayde vnto hi: (not that Iscarioth) LORDE, What is the cause the, that thou wilt shewe thy self vnto vs, and not vnto the worlde? ²³ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: He that loueth me, wyl kepe my worde, and my father wyl loue him: and we wyl come vnto him, and wyll make oure dwellynge with him.

¹ I am a true vyne, and my father is an hussbande man.

¹ I am a true vyne, and my father is an hussbande man. ² Euery braunch that bringeth not forth frute in me, shal he cut of: and euery one that bryngeth forth frute, shal he pourge, yt it maye bringe forth more frute. ³ Now are ye cleane, because of the worde, that I haue spoke vnto you. ⁴ Byde ye in me, and I in you. Like as ye braunch can not brynge forth frute of it self excepte it byde in the vyne, Euen so nether ye also, excepte ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bryngeth forth moch frute: for without me can ye do nothinge.

³ And soch thinges shal they do vnto you, because they haue nether knowne ye father ner yet me.

²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Ye shal wepe and lamente, but the worlde shal reioyse: Ye shal be sory, but youre sorowe shal be turned in to ioye.

²³ And in that daye shal ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you: Yf ye axe ye father ought in my name, he shal geue it you.

²⁸ I wente out from the father, and came in to the worlde: Agayne, I leaue ye worlde, and go to the father.

³ But this is the life euerlastinge, that they knowe the (that thou onely art the true God) and whom thou hast sent, Iesus Christ.

⁵ And now glorifye me thou father by thine awne self, with ye glory which I had or euer the worlde was. ⁶ I haue declared thy name vnto ye men, whom thou gauest me from the worlde. They were thine, and thou gauest them vnto me, and they haue kepte thy worde.

²² And the glory which thou gauest me, haue I geuen them: that they maye be one, like as we are one.

²⁵ Righteous father, the worlde hath not knowne ye, but I haue knowne ye: and these haue knowne, that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I haue declared thy name vnto them, & wyl declare it, yt the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in the, & I in them.

⁴ Iesus now knowinge all yt shulde come vpon him, wete forth, and sayde vnto the: Whom seke ye? ⁵ They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed him, stode with the.

⁷ Then axed he the agayne: Whom seke ye? They sayde: Iesus of Nazareth.

³⁷ The sayde Pilate vnto hi: Art thou a kynge the? Iesus answered: Thou sayest it, for I am a kynge. For this cause was I borne, and came in to the worlde, that I shulde testifye the trueth. Who so euer is of the trueth, heareth my voyce.

⁷ The Iewes answered him: We haue a lawe, & after oure lawe he ought to dye, because he made him self the sonne of God.

¹⁹ Pilate wrote a superscripcion, and set vpon the crosse. And there was wrytten: Iesus of Nazareth, kynge of the Iewes.

¹⁹ Pilate wrote a superscripcion, and set vpon the crosse. And there was wrytten: Iesus of Nazareth, kynge of the Iewes. ²⁰ This superscripcion red many of the Iewes. For ye place where Iesus was crucifyed, was nye vnto the cite. And it was wrytten in Hebrue, Greke & Latyn. ²¹ Then sayde the hye prestes of the Iewes vnto Pilate: Wryte not kynge of the Iewes, but yt he sayde, I am kynge of the Iewes. ²² Pilate answered: What I haue wrytten, that haue I wrytten.

¹⁵ Iesus sayde vnto her: Woman, why wepest thou? Whom sekest thou? She thought yt it had bene ye gardener, & sayde vnto him: Syr, yf thou hast borne him hence: then tell me where thou hast layed him? and I wil fetch hi. ¹⁶ Iesus sayde vnto her: Mary. Then turned she her aboute, & sayde vnto him: Rabboni, yt is to saye: Master.

²⁸ Thomas answered, & sayde vnto him: My LORDE, and my God.

²⁸ Thomas answered, & sayde vnto him: My LORDE, and my God. ²⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued. Blessed are they, that se not, and yet beleue.

²⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued. Blessed are they, that se not, and yet beleue.

³¹ But these are wrytte, yt ye shulde beleue, yt Iesus is Christ the sonne of God, & that ye thorow beleue might haue life in his name.

² There were together Symo Peter, & Thomas which is called Didimus, & Nathanael of Cana a cite of Galile, & the sonnes of Zebede, & two other of his disciples.

¹⁵ Now wha they had dyned, Iesus sayde vnto Symon Peter: Symo Iohana, louest thou me more then these do? He sayde vnto him: Yee LORDE, thou knowest yt I loue the. He sayde vnto him: Fede my labes. ¹⁶ He sayde vnto him agayne the seconde tyme: Symo Iohana, louest thou me? He sayde vnto him: Yee LORDE, thou knowest, yt I loue ye. He sayde vnto him: Fede my shepe. 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. ¹⁸ Verely verely I saye vnto the: Whan thou wast yoge, thou gerdedst thyselfe, and walkedst whither thou woldest. But wha thou art olde, thou shalt stretch forth thy handes, and another shal gyrde the, and lede the whither thou woldest not.

⁵ For Ihon baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed wt ye holy goost, & that within this few dayes.

¹⁰ And whyle they loked after him, as he wente in to heauen, beholde, there stode by them two men in whyte garmentes, ¹¹ which also sayde: Ye men of Galile, Why stonde ye gasynge vp in to heauen? This Iesus which is take vp from you in to heauen shal come euen so as ye haue sene him go in to heauen.

¹³ And whan they came in, they wente vp in to a parler, where abode Peter and Iames, Ihon and Andrew, Philippe and Thomas, Bartilmew and Mathew, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas the sonne of Iames.

⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost. And they beganne to preach with other tunges, euen as the sprete gaue them vtteraunce.

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, ye man approued of God amonge you with miracles, and wonders and tokens, which God dyd by him in the myddes amonge you, as ye yor selues knowe also,

⁶ Howbeit Peter saide: Syluer and golde haue I none: but soch as I haue geue I the. In the name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth ryse vp & walke.

¹² Whan Peter sawe that, he answered vnto the people: Ye men of Israel, why maruayle ye at this, or why loke ye so at vs, as though we by oure awne power or deseruynge, had made this man to walke? ¹³ The God of Abraham and of Isaac, and of Iacob, ye God of oure fathers hath glorifyed his childe Iesus, whom ye delyuered and denyed in the presence of Pilate, whan he had iudged him to be lowsed. ¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred the murthurer to be geuen you, ¹⁵ but ye slewe the prynce of life, whom God hath raysed from the deed, of the which we are witnesses. ¹⁶ And thorow ye faith in his name, hath he confirmed his name vpon this man, whom ye se and knowe: and faith thorow him, hath geue this man this health before youre eyes.

¹⁶ And thorow ye faith in his name, hath he confirmed his name vpon this man, whom ye se and knowe: and faith thorow him, hath geue this man this health before youre eyes.

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophetes and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto or fathers, whan he sayde vnto Abraha: Thorow yi sede shal all ye nacios of ye earth be blessed. 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.

⁵ And it chaunced on ye morow, that their rulers and Elders and scrybes ⁶ (as Annas ye hye prest and Caiphas, and Ihon & Alexander, and as many as were of the hye prestes kynred) gathered them selues together at Ierusalem, ⁷ and set them before them, and axed them: By what auctorite, Or in what name haue ye done this?

²⁷ Of a trueth agaynst thy holy childe Iesus, whom thou hast anoynted, both Herode & Pontius Pilate with the Heythen and people of Israel, haue gathered the selues together,

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.

³⁸ This is he, that was in the congregacion in the wyldernesse with the angell, which talked with him, vpo mount Sina, and with oure fathers. This man receaued the worde of life to geue vnto vs,

⁵¹ Ye styffnecked & of vncircumcysed hertes and eares, ye allwaye resiste the holy goost: Eue as yor fathers dyd, so do ye also. ⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not yor fathers persecuted? And they slewe the, which tolde before of the comynge of ye righteous, whose traytours and murthurers ye are now become.

⁵⁶ and sayde: Beholde, I se the heauens open, and the sonne of ma stondinge on ye righte honde of God.

³² The tenoure of the scripture which he red, was this: He was led as a shepe to be slayne, and as a lambe voycelesse before his sherer, so opened he not his mouth.

¹¹ and sawe heaue open, and a vessell comynge downe vnto him, as it had bene a greate lynne clothe, knytt at the foure corners, and was let downe to ye earth,

²¹ Then wente Peter downe to the men, yt were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayde: lo, I am he whom ye seke: what is ye cause, wherfore ye are come?

²⁹ Therfore haue I not douted to come, as soone as I was sent for. I axe you therfore, for what intent haue ye sent for me?

³⁸ how God anoynted the same Iesus of Nazareth with the holy goost and wt power, which wente aboute, & dyd good, and healed all those that were oppressed of the deuell, for God was with him.

⁴⁴ Whyle Peter was yet speakynge these wordes, the holy goost fell vpo all the that herkened vnto the worde. ⁴⁵ And the faithfull of the circucision which came with Peter, were astonnyed, because that the gifte of ye holy goost was shed out also vpon the Heythen. ⁴⁶ For they herde that they spake with tunges, and magnified God. The answered Peter: ⁴⁷ Maye eny man forbydde water, that these shulde not be baptysed, which haue receaued the holy goost as well as we?

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.

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.

²⁴ whan Ihon had first preached before his comynge the baptyme of repentaunce vnto Israel. ²⁵ But whan Ihon had fulfylled his course, he sayde: I am not he, that ye take me for. But beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shues of his fete I am not worthy to lowse. ²⁶ Ye men and brethren, ye children of the generacion of Abraham, and they that feare God amonge you, vnto you is ye worde of this saluacion sent.

³² And we also declare vnto you ye promes, which was made vnto oure fathers, ³³ how that God hath fulfylled the same vnto vs their children, in yt he raysed vp Iesus agayne. As it is wrytten in the seconde Psalme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the.

³³ how that God hath fulfylled the same vnto vs their children, in yt he raysed vp Iesus agayne. As it is wrytten in the seconde Psalme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the. ³⁴ But that he hath raysed him vp fro the deed, now nomore to returne to corrupcion, he sayde on this wyse: The grace promysed to Dauid, wyl I faithfully kepe vnto you. ³⁵ Therfore sayeth he also in another place: Thou shalt not suffre thy Holy to se corrupcion. ³⁶ For Dauid, whan he in his tyme had serued the wyll of God, he fell a slepe, and was layed by his fathers, & sawe corrupcion. ³⁷ But he who God raysed vp agayne, sawe no corrupcion. ³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore ye men and brethre, yt thorow this man is preached vnto you ye forgeuenesse of synnes, ³⁹ and fro all ye thinges, wherby ye mighte not be iustifyed in the lawe of Moses.

³⁹ and fro all ye thinges, wherby ye mighte not be iustifyed in the lawe of Moses.

⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas waxed bolde, and sayde: It behoued first the worde of God to be spoken vnto you: but now that ye thrust it fro you, and counte youre selues vnworthy of euerlastinge life, lo, we turne to the Gentyles.

¹⁷ Neuertheles he hath not left hi selfe without wytnesse, in yt he hath shewed his benefites, and geuen vs rayne from heauen, and frutefull seasons, fyllynge oure hertes with fode and gladnesse.

²⁴ God which made ye worlde, and all that therin is, for so moch as he is LORDE of heauen and earth, dwelleth not in temples made of handes, ²⁵ nether is he worshipped with mens handes, as though he had nede of eny man, seynge he himself geueth life and breth vnto all men euery where: 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, ²⁷ that they shulde seke the LORDE, yf they mighte fele and fynde him. And truly he is not farre from euery one of vs.

² vnto whom he sayde: Haue ye receaued ye holy goost, sence ye beleued? They sayde vnto hi: We haue not herde, whether there be an holy goost. ³ He sayde vnto them: Where with then were ye baptysed? They sayde: With the baptyme of Ihon. ⁴ Paul sayde: Ihon baptysed with the baptyme of repentaunce, and spake vnto ye people, that they shulde beleue on him, which shulde come after him, that is, on Iesus, that the same is Christ.

⁴ Paul sayde: Ihon baptysed with the baptyme of repentaunce, and spake vnto ye people, that they shulde beleue on him, which shulde come after him, that is, on Iesus, that the same is Christ. ⁵ Whan they herde that, they were baptysed in the name of the LORDE Iesu. ⁶ And whan Paul layed the hades on the, the holy goost came vpon them, and they spake with tunges, and prophecied.

⁸ I answered: Who art thou LORDE? And he sayde vnto me: I am Iesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest.

⁸ for the Saduces saye that there is no resurreccion, nether angell, ner sprete: but the Pharises graute both.

⁵ which knewe me afore at the first, yf they wolde testifye, for after the most strayte secte of oure Iewysh lawe, I lyued a Pharise.

⁹ I also verely thoughte by my selfe, that I oughte to do many cotrary thinges cleane agaynst the name off Iesus off Nazareth,

²³ that Christ shulde suffre, and be the first of the resurreccion from the deed, and shew light vnto the people, and to the Heythen.

²³ And wha they had appoynted hi a daye, there came many vnto hi in to his lodginge: vnto who he expouded ye kyngdome of God & preached vnto the of Iesu, out of ye lawe and out of the prophetes, eue fro mornynge vntyll the eue.

³⁰ But Paul abode two whole yeares in his owne hyred dwellinge, & receaued all the yt came in vnto hi, ³¹ preachinge ye kyngdome of God, and teachinge those thinges which concerne the LORDE Iesus with all boldnesse, vnforbydden.

³ off his sonne, which was begotte of ye sede of Dauid after the flesh: ⁴ and mightely declared to be the sonne of God after the sprete which sanctifieth, sence the tyme that he rose agayne from the deed, namely, Iesus Christ oure LORDE,

⁴ and mightely declared to be the sonne of God after the sprete which sanctifieth, sence the tyme that he rose agayne from the deed, namely, Iesus Christ oure LORDE,

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God, euen so God gaue the vp in to a lewde mynde, to do those thinges which were not comly,

²⁸ For he is not a Iew which is a Iewe outwarde: nether is that circucision which is done outwardly in ye flesh: ²⁹ But he is a Iewe, which is hydd within. And the circumcision of ye hert is the circumcision, which is done in the sprete and not in the letter: Whoseprayse is not of men, but of God.

¹⁹ But we knowe, yt, what soeuer the lawe sayeth, it sayeth it vnto them which are vnder the lawe, yt euery mouthe maye be stopped, & yt all the worlde maye be detter vnto God, ²⁰ because yt by ye dedes of the lawe no flesh maye be iustified in his sighte. For by the lawe commeth but the knowlege of synne. ²¹ But now without addinge to of ye lawe is the righteousnes which avayleth before God, declared, hauynge witnesse of ye lawe and the prophetes: ²² but I speake of ye righteousnes before God, which cometh by the faith on Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpo all them that beleue.For here is no difference. ²³ For they are all synners, and wate the prayse that God shulde haue of the, ²⁴ but without deseruynge are they made righteous eue by his grace, thorow the redempcion that is done by Christ Iesu, ²⁵ whom God hath set forth for a Mercyseate thorow faith in his bloude, to shewe the righteousnes which avayleth before him, in that he forgeueth the synnes, which were done before vnder the sufferaunce of God, which he suffred, ²⁶ that at this tyme he mighte shewe ye righteousnes which avayleth before him: yt he onely mighte be righteous, & the righteous maker of him which is of the faith on Iesus.

² by who also we haue an intraunce in faith vnto this grace, wherin we stonde, & reioyse in the hope of ye glorye for to come, which God shal geue.

¹⁷ For yf by ye synne of one, death raigned by the meanes of one, moch more shal they which receaue the abudaunce of grace and of the gifte vnto righteousnes, raigne in life by ye meanes of one Iesus Christ.

²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred, that synne shulde increace. Neuertheles where abundaunce of synne was, there was yet more plenteousnes of grace:

²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred, that synne shulde increace. Neuertheles where abundaunce of synne was, there was yet more plenteousnes of grace: ²¹ that, like as synne had reigned vnto death, eue so mighte grace reigne also thorow righteousnes to euerlastinge life by the meanes of Iesus Christ.

¹⁴ For synne shal not haue power ouer you, in so moch as ye are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace.

³ For what vnpossible was vnto ye lawe (in as moch as it was weake because of the flesh) yt perfourmed God, & sent his sonne in ye similitude of synfull flesh,

⁹ Howbeit ye are not fleshly, but goostly, yf so be that the sprete of God dwell in you. But who so hath not the sprete of Christ, the same is not his.

¹⁴ For who so euer are led by the sprete of God,

¹ I saye the trueth in Christ, and lye not (wherof my conscience beareth me witnesse in the holy goost)

¹ I saye the trueth in Christ, and lye not (wherof my conscience beareth me witnesse in the holy goost) ² that I haue greate heuynesse & contynuall sorowe in my hert. ³ I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren, that are my kynsmen after the flesh, ⁴ which are off Israel: vnto whom pertayneth the childshippe, and the glory, and the couenauntes and lawe, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses:

⁴ which are off Israel: vnto whom pertayneth the childshippe, and the glory, and the couenauntes and lawe, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses: ⁵ whose are also the fathers, off whom (after the flesh) commeth Christ, which is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Ame.

⁵ whose are also the fathers, off whom (after the flesh) commeth Christ, which is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Ame. ⁶ But I speake not these thinges, as though the worde of God were of none effecte: for they are not all Israelites, which are of Israel: ⁷ nether are they all children, because they are the sede of Abraham: but in Isaac shal the sede be called ⁸ vnto the, that is, They which are children after the flesh, are not the children of God, but the children of the promes are counted for the sede. ⁹ For this is a worde of the promes, where he sayeth: Aboute this tyme wyl I come, and Sara shal haue a sonne. ¹⁰ Howbeit it is not so with this onely, but also whan Rebecca was with childe by one (namely by oure father Isaac) ¹¹ or euer the childre were borne, & had done nether good ner bad (that the purpose of God might stode acordinge to the eleccion, not by the deseruynge of workes, but by the grace of the caller) ¹² it was sayde thus vnto her: The greater shal serue the lesse. ¹³ As it is wrytten: Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated. ¹⁴ What shal we saye then? Is God then vnrighteous? God forbyd. ¹⁵ For he sayeth vnto Moses: I shewe mercy, to whom I shewe mercy: and haue copassion, ¹⁶ on who I haue compassion. So lyeth it not then in eny mans wyll or runnynge, but in the mercy of God.

¹ Brethren, my hertes desyre, & prayer vnto God for Israel is, that they might be saued. ² For I beare them recorde, that they are zelous for Gods cause, but not wt vnderstondinge. ³ For they knowe not the righteousnes which auayleth before God, and go aboute to manteyne their awne righteousnes: and thus they are not subdued vnto the righteousnes, that is off value before God.

¹⁷ So the faith cometh by hearynge, but hearinge cometh by the worde of God.

⁸ But I saye that Christ Iesus was a mynister of the circumcision for the trueth of God, to cofirme the promyses made vnto the fathers,

⁸ But I saye that Christ Iesus was a mynister of the circumcision for the trueth of God, to cofirme the promyses made vnto the fathers, ⁹ and that the Heythen mighte prayse God because of mercy, as it is wrytten: For this cause wyl I prayse the amoge the Getyles, and synge vnto thy name. ¹⁰ And agayne he sayeth: Reioyse ye Heythen with his people. ¹¹ And agayne: Prayse the LORDE all ye Gentiles, and laude him all ye nacios. ¹² And agayne Esay sayeth: There shalbe the rote of Iesse, and he that shal ryse to rule the Gentyles, in him shal the Gentyles trust.

⁴ I thake my God allwayes on youre behalfe, for the fauoure of God which is geue you in Iesus Christ, ⁵ that in all poyntes ye are made ryche by him, in euery worde, and in all maner of knowlege

¹² which euery one of you sayeth: I holde of Paul. Another, I holde of Apollo. The thirde, I holde of Cephas. The fourth, I holde off Christ.

²¹ Hath not God made the wyssdome of this worlde foolishnesse? For in so moch as the worlde by the wyssdome therof knewe not God in his wyssdome, it pleased God thorow foolish preachinge to saue them yt beleue.

⁸ which none of ye rulers of this worlde knewe. For yf they had knowne it, they had not crucified the LORDE of glorye,

¹⁴ Howbeit the naturall man perceaueth nothinge of ye sprete of God. It is foolishnes vnto him, and he can not perceaue it: for it must be spiritually discerned.

⁶ I haue planted, Apollo hath watred, but God hath geuen the increase.

²² whether it be Paul or Apollo, whether it be Cephas or the worlde, whether it be life or death, whether it be presente or for to come. All is youres,

⁵ Therfore iudge ye nothinge before ye tyme, vntyll the LORDE come, which shal brynge it to lighte that is hyd in darknesse, and ope the councels of ye hertes, and the shal euery one haue prayse of God.

⁶ yet haue we but one God, euen the father, of who are all thinges, and we in him & one LORDE Iesus Christ, by who are all thinges, and we by him.

⁵ Haue we not power also to leade aboute a sister to wife, as well as other Apostles, and as the brethren of the LORDE, and Cephas?

¹³ For we are all baptysed in one sprete to be one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyles, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all dronke of one sprete.

²⁵ and so shulde the secrete of his hert be opened, and so shulde he fall downe vpon his face, worshippinge God, and knowleginge, that of a trueth God is in you.

³ For first of all I delyuered vnto you that which I also receaued, how that Christ dyed for oure synnes acordinge to the scriptures,

⁵ and that he was sene of Cephas, then of the twolue:

⁴⁵ As it is wrytten: The first man Adam was made in to a naturall life, and the last Ada in to a spiritual life.

⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy: ye seconde ma is fro heaue, heauely.

¹⁹ For Gods sonne Iesus Christ, which was preached amonge you by vs (namely, by me and Siluanus and Timotheus) was not yee and naye, but in him it was yee. ²⁰ For all the promyses of God are yee in him, & are Ame in him, to the prayse of God by vs.

⁷ But yf the mynistracion yt kylleth thorow the letter, and was figured in stones, was glorious, so that the childre of Israel mighte not beholde the face of Moses, for ye clearnesse of his countenauce, (which glory neuertheles is done awaye) ⁸ how shal not ye mynistracion of ye sprete be moch more glorious? ⁹ For yf the office that preacheth damnacion be glorious, moch more doth the office that preacheth righteousnes exceade in glory. ¹⁰ For ye other parte that was glorified is nothinge glorified in respecte of this exceadinge glory.

⁴ amonge whom the God of this worlde hath blynded ye myndes of them which beleue not, that ye lighte of the Gospell of the glory of Christ ( which is the ymage of God) shulde not shyne vnto them. ⁵ For we preach not or selues, but Iesus Christ to be the LORDE, and oure selues youre seruauntes for Iesus sake. ⁶ For God that comaunded the light to shyne out of darcknesse, hath geuen a cleare shyne in oure hertes, yt by vs ye light of ye knowlege of the glory of God mighte come forth, in the face of Iesus Christ.

²¹ for he hath made him which knewe no synne, to be synne for vs, yt we by his meanes shulde be that righteousnes, which before God is alowed.

¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amoge them, and separate youre selues (sayeth the LORDE) and touche no vncleane thinge, so wyl I receaue you, ¹⁸ & be youre father, & ye shalbe my sonnes and doughters, sayeth ye Allmightie LORDE.

⁹ And he sayde vnto me: My grace is sufficiet for the. For my strength is made perfecte thorow weaknes. Very glad therfore wil I reioyse in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me.

⁴ which gaue him selfe for oure synnes, that he mighte delyuer vs from this present euel worlde, acordinge to the wyll of God oure father,

⁹ they perceaued the grace that was geuen vnto me. Iames and Cephas and Ihon, which semed to be pilers, gaue me and Barnabas ye righte handes, and agreed with vs, that we shulde preach amonge the Heythe, and they amonge the Iewes:

¹⁰ For as many as go aboute with the workes of the lawe, are vnder ye curse: For it is wrytte: Cursed be euery man, which cotynueth not in all thinges that are wrytte in the boke of the lawe, to do them. ¹¹ That no man is iustified by the lawe in the sighte of God, it is euydet: For ye iust shal lyue by his faith. ¹² The lawe is not of faith, but the ma that doth ye same, shal lyue therin. ¹³ But Christ hath delyuered vs from ye curse of the lawe, whan he became a curse for vs. (For it is wrytte: Cursed is euery man that hangeth on tre)

¹³ But Christ hath delyuered vs from ye curse of the lawe, whan he became a curse for vs. (For it is wrytte: Cursed is euery man that hangeth on tre)

¹⁷ This Testament (I saye) which afore was confirmed to Christ warde, is not disanulled (that the promes shulde be made of none affecte) by the lawe which was geuen beyonde foure hundreth & thirtie yeares therafter.

²⁶ For ye all are the children of God by the faith in Christ Iesu.

⁴ But whan the tyme was fulfylled, God sent his sonne, borne of a woma, and put vnder the lawe,

⁶ For so moch the as ye are children, God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes, which cryeth: Abba, deare father.

⁶ vnto the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherby he hath made vs accepted in the Beloued, ⁷ in whom we haue redempcion thorow his bloude (namely) the forgeuenes of synnes, acordynge to ye riches of his grace, ⁸ which he hath shed vpon vs abundauntly in all wyssdome and prudece:

²³ which is his body, and the fulnesse of him that fylleth all in all.

⁵ eue wha we were deed in synnes, hath quyckened vs in Christ ( for by grace are ye saued) ⁶ and hath raysed vs vp with him, and set vs with him in heauely thinges thorow Christ Iesus, ⁷ yt in tymes to come he mighte shewe the exceadinge riches of his grace, in kyndnesse to vs warde in Christ Iesu. ⁸ For by grace are ye saued thorow faith, and that not of youre selues, For it is ye gifte of God, ⁹ not of workes, lest eny ma shulde boast him selfe. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanshippe, created in Christ Iesu vnto good workes, to ye which God ordeyned vs before, that we shulde walke in them.

⁸ Vnto me the leest of all sayntes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge the Heythe ye vnsearcheable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men se, what is the fellishippe of the mystery, which fro the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God, which made all thiges thorow Iesus Christ:

¹⁸ maye be able to coprehende with all sayntes, what is the bredth, and the length, and the deepth, and the heyth: ¹⁹ and to knowe the loue of Christ, which loue yet passeth all knowlege: that ye maye be fylled with all maner of fulnesse of God.

¹⁹ and to knowe the loue of Christ, which loue yet passeth all knowlege: that ye maye be fylled with all maner of fulnesse of God.

⁷ Vnto euery one of vs is geuen grace, acordinge to the measure off the gifte off Christ. ⁸ Therfore sayeth he: He is gone vp an hye, and hath led awaye captiuyte captyue, and hath geue giftes vnto men. ⁹ That he wente, vp what is it, but that he first came downe in to ye lowest partes of ye earth? ¹⁰ He that came downe, is euen the same which is gone vp aboue all heauens, to fulfill all. ¹¹ And ye same hath set some to be Apostles, some to be prophetes, some to be Euangelistes, some to be shepherdes & teachers, ¹² wherby the sayntes mighte be coupled together thorow comen seruyce to the edifienge of ye body of Christ, ¹³ tyll we all come vnto one maner of faith and knowlege of the sonne of God, and become a perfecte man in to the measure of the perfecte age of Christ

²⁹ Let no filthy communicacion proceade out of youre mouth, but that which is good to edifye withall, wha nede is, that it be gracious to heare.

¹⁴ Therfore sayeth he: Awake thou that slepest, and stonde vp fro the deed, and Christ shal geue the lighte.

⁶ which beyinge in the shappe of God, thought it not robbery to be equall with God,

⁶ which beyinge in the shappe of God, thought it not robbery to be equall with God,

⁶ which beyinge in the shappe of God, thought it not robbery to be equall with God, ⁷ but made him selfe of no reputacion, and toke vpon him the shappe of a seruaunt, became like another man,

⁷ but made him selfe of no reputacion, and toke vpon him the shappe of a seruaunt, became like another man, ⁸ and was founde in his apparell as a man: he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen vnto the death of the crosse.

¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both the wyll and the deed, euen of his owne good wyll.

³ for we are the circumcision, euen we that serue God in the sprete, and reioyce in Christ Iesu, and haue no confidence in the flesh,

⁵ which was circucysed on the eight daye, one of the people of Israel, of the trybe off Ben Iamin, an hebrue of the Hebrues: as concernynge the lawe a Pharise: ⁶ as concernynge feruentnes I persecuted the cogregacion: and as touchinge the righteousnes which is in the lawe, I was vnrebukable.

¹² Not that I haue attayned vnto it all ready, or that I am allready perfecte: but I folowe, yf I maye comprehende that, wherin I am comprehended off Christ Iesu.

¹⁵ Which is the ymage of the inuisyble God, first begotte before all creatures. ¹⁶ For by him were all thinges created, that are in heauen and earth, thinges vysible and thinges inuysible, whether they be maiesties or lordshippes, ether rules or powers: All thinges are created by him and in him, ¹⁷ and he is before all thinges, and in him all thinges haue their beynge.

¹⁷ and he is before all thinges, and in him all thinges haue their beynge.

¹⁹ For it pleased the father, that in him shulde dwell all fulnesse,

³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wyssdome and knowlege.

⁶ As ye haue therfore receaued Christ Iesu the LORDE, euen so walke in him,

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fulnes of the Godheade bodely,

⁹ For in him dwelleth all the fulnes of the Godheade bodely, ¹⁰ and ye are complete in him, which is the heade of all rule and power:

⁴ But whan Christ or life shal shewe himselfe, the shal ye also appeare with him in glory.

⁴ But ye brethren are not in darknes, that that daye shulde come on you as a thefe. ⁵ Ye are alltogether children of lighte, and children of the daye. We are not of the night, nether of darknesse. ⁶ Therfore let vs not slepe as do other, but let vs watch, and be sober. ⁷ For they that slepe, slepe in the nighte: and they that be dronken, are dronken in the nighte.

²¹ proue all thiges, & kepe yt which is good.

⁷ but vnto you which are troubled, rest with vs, wha the LORDE Iesus shal shewe himselfe from heauen, with the angels of his power,

⁹ Which shalbe punyshed with euerlastinge damnacion, from ye presence of the LORDE, and from the glory of his power,

¹⁴ Neuertheles the grace of or LORDE was more abudaunt thorow ye faith & loue which is in Christ Iesu. ¹⁵ For this is a true sayenge, and by all meanes worthy to be receaued, that Christ Iesus came in to ye worlde to saue synners, of whom I am chefe. ¹⁶ Notwithstondynge for this cause optayned I mercy, that Iesus Christ mighte pryncipally shewe in me all longe pacience, to the ensample of them which shulde beleue in him vnto eternall life. ¹⁷ So then vnto God kynge euerlastinge, immortall and invisible, and wyse onely, be honoure and prayse for euer and euer Amen.

⁴ which wil haue all men saued, and to come vnto the knowlege of ye trueth.

⁶ which gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that at his tyme it shulde be preached,

¹⁶ and without naye, greate is that mystery of godlynes. God was shewed in the flesh: was iustified in the sprete: was sene of angels: was preached vnto the Heythen: was beleued on in the worlde: was receaued vp in glory.

¹⁶ which onely hath immortalite, and dwelleth in a lighte, that no man can attayne: whom no man hath sene, nether can se. Vnto whom be honoure and empyre euerlastinge, Amen.

¹¹ For the grace of God that bryngeth Saluacion vnto all men, hath appeared,

¹³ lokynge for that blessed hope and appearynge of the glory of ye greate God and of oure Sauioure Iesu Christ: ¹⁴ which gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs fro all vnrighteousnes, and to pourge vs to be a peculiar people vnto himselfe, to be feruently geuen vnto good workes.

⁵ not for ye dedes of righteousnes which we wroughte, but after his mercy he saued vs by the fountayne of the new byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost,

⁵ not for ye dedes of righteousnes which we wroughte, but after his mercy he saued vs by the fountayne of the new byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shed on vs abundauntly, thorow Iesus Christ oure Sauioure:

¹ God in tyme past dyuersly & many wayes, spake vnto ye fathers by prophetes, ² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thinges, by whom also he made the worlde.

² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thinges, by whom also he made the worlde. ³ Which (sonne) beynge the brightnes of his glory, & the very ymage of his substaunce, bearinge vp all thinges with the worde of his power, hath in his owne personne pourged oure synnes, and is set on the righte hande of the maiestie on hye:

³ Which (sonne) beynge the brightnes of his glory, & the very ymage of his substaunce, bearinge vp all thinges with the worde of his power, hath in his owne personne pourged oure synnes, and is set on the righte hande of the maiestie on hye:

⁵ For vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the? And agayne: I will be his father, & he shalbe my sonne:

⁵ For vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the? And agayne: I will be his father, & he shalbe my sonne: ⁶ And agayne, wha he bryngeth in the fyrst begotte sonne in to the worlde, he sayeth: And all the angels of God shal worshippe him.

⁸ But vnto ye sonne he sayeth: God, yi seate endureth for euer & euer: the cepter of yi kyngdome is a right cepter.

⁸ But vnto ye sonne he sayeth: God, yi seate endureth for euer & euer: the cepter of yi kyngdome is a right cepter. ⁹ Thou hast loued righteousnes, & hated iniquyte: wherfore God (which is thy God) hath anoynted the with the oyle of gladnesse aboue yi felowes.

⁹ Thou hast loued righteousnes, & hated iniquyte: wherfore God (which is thy God) hath anoynted the with the oyle of gladnesse aboue yi felowes. ¹⁰ And thou LORDE in ye begynnynge hast layed the foundacion of the earth, and ye heaues are the workes of thy handes,

¹⁰ And thou LORDE in ye begynnynge hast layed the foundacion of the earth, and ye heaues are the workes of thy handes, ¹¹ they shal perishe, but thou shalt endure: they all shal waxe olde as doth a garmet,

¹¹ they shal perishe, but thou shalt endure: they all shal waxe olde as doth a garmet, ¹² and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them, and they shalbe chaunged. But thou art ye same, and thy yeares shal not fayle.

¹² and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them, and they shalbe chaunged. But thou art ye same, and thy yeares shal not fayle. ¹³ Vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme: Syt thou on my righte hade, tyll I make thyne enemies thy fote stole? ¹⁴ Are they not all mynistrynge spretes, sent to mynister for their sakes, which shalbe heyres of saluacion?

¹¹ for so moch as they all come of one, both he that sanctifieth; & they which are sanctified.For the which causes sake, he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹⁴ For as moch then as the children haue flesh and bloude. he also himselfe likewyse toke parte with them, yt he thorow death, mighte take awaye ye power of him, which had lordshippe ouer death, that is to saye, ye deuell: ¹⁵ & that he mighte delyuer the which thorow feare of death were all their life tyme in dauger of bodage. ¹⁶ For he in no place taketh on him the angels, but ye sede of Abraham tabeth he on him. ¹⁷ Wherfore in all thinges it became him to be made like vnto his brethren, that he mighte be mercyfull and a faithfull hye prest in thinges concernynge God, to make agrement for the synnes of ye people.

¹⁷ Wherfore in all thinges it became him to be made like vnto his brethren, that he mighte be mercyfull and a faithfull hye prest in thinges concernynge God, to make agrement for the synnes of ye people.

³ But this man is worthy of greater honoure then moses, in as moch as he which prepareth the house, hath greater honoure in it, then the house it selfe. ⁴ For euery house is prepared of some ma: but he that ordeyned all thinges, is God. ⁵ And Moses verely was faithfull in all his house as a mynister, to beare witnes of those thinges which were to be spoken afterwarde: ⁶ But Christ as a sonne hath rule ouer his house, whose house are we, yf we holde fast the confidence and reioysinge of that hope vnto the ende.

⁵ Euen so Christ glorified not himselfe to be made hye prest, but he yt sayde vnto him: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the.

³ without father, without mother, without kynne, and hath nether begynnynge of dayes, ner ende of life: but is likened vnto the sonne of God, and contynueth a prest for euer.

⁸ For in rebukynge the he sayeth: Beholde, the dayes wyll come (sayeth the LORDE) that I wyl fynish vpo the house of Israel, and vpon the house off Iuda, ⁹ a new Testament: not as the Testament which I made with their fathers, in that daye whan I toke them by the handes, to lede them out of the londe of Egipte: for they contynued not in my Testament, and I regarded them not, sayeth the LORDE. ¹⁰ For this is the Testament, that I wil make wt the house of Israell after those dayes, sayeth the LORDE. I wyl geue my lawes in their mynde, and in their hertes wyl I wryte them: And I wil be their God, and they shal be my people: ¹¹ and they shal not teach euery ma his neghboure, and euery man his brother, sayenge: knowe ye LORDE, for they shal knowe me from the leest to the most of them: ¹² for I wil be mercifull ouer their vnrighteousnesses: And on their synnes & on their iniquyties wyl I not thynke enymore.

²² And allmost all thinges are pourged with bloude after the lawe: and without sheddynge of bloude is no remyssion.

²⁸ so Christ was once offred, to take awaye the synnes of many. And vnto them that loke for him, shal he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacion.

⁴ For it is vnpossible yt the bloude of oxen and of goates shulde take awaye synnes. ⁵ Wherfore whan he commeth in to the worlde, he sayeth: Sacrifice & offerynge thou woldest not haue, but a body hast thou ordeyned me.

⁵ Wherfore whan he commeth in to the worlde, he sayeth: Sacrifice & offerynge thou woldest not haue, but a body hast thou ordeyned me. ⁶ Burntofferynges and synneofferynges hast thou not alowed. ⁷ Then sayde I: Lo, I come. I the begynnynge of the boke it is wrytten of me, that I shulde do yi wyll O God. ⁸ Aboue wha he had sayde: Sacrifice and offerynge, and burntsacrifices & synofferynges thou woldest not haue, nether hast alowed (which yet are offered after ye lawe). ⁹ The sayde he: Lo, I come to do wil thy O God: there taketh he awaye the first, to stablysshe the latter: ¹⁰ In the which wyll we are sanctified by the offerynge vp of the body of Iesus Christ once for all.

³ Thorow faith we vnderstonde, that the worlde and all the thinges which are sene, were made of naughte by the worde of God.

³⁹ And these all thorow faith optayned good reporte, and receaued not ye promes: ⁴⁰ because God had prouyded a better thinge for vs, that they without vs shulde not be made perfecte.

² lokynge vnto Iesus ye auctor and fynissher of faith: which whan the ioye was layed before him, abode the crosse, and despysed the shame, and is set downe on ye righte hade of ye trone of God.

⁸ Iesus Christ yesterdaye and Todaye, & the same cotinueth for euer.

¹⁸ Of his awne will begat he vs with the worde of life, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of his creatures.

² acordinge to the foreknowlege of God the father thorow sanctifienge of the sprete, vnto obedience and sprenklynge of the bloude of Iesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied with you. ³ Blessed be God and the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which acordinge to his greate mercy hath begotten vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope by the resurreccion of Iesus Christ from the deed,

¹¹ searchinge whan or at what tyme the sprete off Christ that was in them, shulde signifye, which (sprete) testified before the passions that shulde come vnto Christ, and the glory that shulde folowe after.

¹⁹ but with the precious bloude of Christ, as of an innocet and vndefyled lambe,

¹⁹ but with the precious bloude of Christ, as of an innocet and vndefyled lambe, ²⁰ which was ordeyned before the worlde was made, but is declared in these last tymes for youre sakes,

²³ as they that are borne a new, not of corruptible sede, but of vncorruptible, eue by the lyuynge worde of God, which endureth for euer.

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle, and ypocrisye, and envye, and all bacbytinge, ² & as new borne babes desyre that reasonable mylke, which is without corrupcion, that ye maye growe therin,

⁴ Vnto whom ye are come, as to the lyuynge stone, which is disalowed of men, but chosen of God and precious. ⁵ And ye also as lyuynge stones are made a spirituall house, and an holy presthode, to offre vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable vnto God by Iesus Christ. ⁶ Wherfore it is conteyned in the scripture: Beholde, I put in Sion an heade corner stone, electe & precious, and he that beleueth on him, shal not be cofounded. ⁷ Vnto you therfore which beleue, he is precious: but vnto them that beleue not, is ye same stone which the buylders refused, made the heade stone in the corner,

²² which dyd no synne, nether was there gyle founde in his mouth:

²⁴ which his owne selfe bare oure synnes in his body vpon the tre, that we shulde be delyuered from synne, & shulde lyue vnto righteousnes: by whose strypes ye were healed.

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffred for oure synnes, ye iust for the vniust, for to brynge vs to God: & was slayne after the flesh, but quyckened after the sprete.

¹ Symon Peter a seruaut and an Apostle of Iesus Christ.Vnto the which haue optayned like faith with vs in the righteousnes that commeth of oure God, and Sauioure Iesus Christ.

⁴ wherby the excellent and most greate promyses are geue vnto vs: namely, that ye by the same shulde be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flye the corrupte lust of the worlde:

¹⁶ For we folowed not deceaueable fables, whan we declared vnto you the power and commynge of oure LORDE Iesus Christ: but with oure eyes we sawe his maiestie, ¹⁷ whan he receaued of God the father honoure & prayse, by a voyce that came vnto him from the excellent glory, after this maner: This is my deare sonne, in whom I haue delyte.

⁹ The LORDE is not slacke to fulfyll his promes (as some me counte slacknesse) but is paciet to vs warde, and wyl not that eny ma shulde be lost, but that euery man shulde amende himselfe.

¹ That which was from ye begynnynge, which we haue herde, which we haue sene with or eyes, which we haue loked vpon, and or handes haue handled of the worde of life: ² and the life hath appeared, and we haue sene, and beare wytnes, and shewe vnto you ye life that is euerlastinge, which was with the father, and hath apeared vnto vs.

² and the life hath appeared, and we haue sene, and beare wytnes, and shewe vnto you ye life that is euerlastinge, which was with the father, and hath apeared vnto vs. ³ That which we haue sene & herde, declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue fellishippe with vs, and that oure fellishippe maye be with the father and with his sonne Iesus Christ.

⁵ And this is the tydinges which we haue herde of him, & declare vnto you, that God is lighte, and in him is no darknes at all. ⁶ Yf we saye that we haue fellishippe with him, and yet walke in darknes, we lye, and do not the trueth. ⁷ But yf we walke in lighte, euen as he is in lighte, then haue we fellishippe together, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne. ⁸ Yf we saye that we haue no synne, we disceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs.

² and he it is that optayneth grace for oure synnes: not for oure synnes onely, but also for the synnes of all the worlde.

⁸ The olde comaundement is the worde, which ye haue herde from the begynnynge. Agayne, a new comaundemet wryte I vnto you, a thinge that is true in him & also in you: for the darknesse is past, and the true lighte now shyneth.

²³ Whosoeuer denyeth the sonne, the same hath not the father.

²⁸ And now babes, abyde in hi, yt wha he shal appeare, we maye be bolde, & not be made ashamed of him at his commynge. ²⁹ Yf ye knowe yt he is righteous, knowe also that he which doth righteousnes, is borne of him.

¹ Beholde what loue the father hath shewed on vs, yt we shulde be called the childre of God. Therfore ye worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.

⁵ And ye knowe that he appeared to take awaye oure synnes: and in him is no synne.

⁸ He that commytteth synne, is of the deuell: for the deuell synneth sence ye begynnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the workes of the deuell. ⁹ Who so euer is borne of God, synneth not: for his sede remayneth in him, & he ca not synne, because he is borne of God.

²³ And this is his comaundement, that we beleue on ye name of his sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as he gaue commaundement.

² Hereby shal ye knowe the sprete of God: Euery sprete which confesseth, that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God: ³ And euery sprete which confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not off God. And this is that sprete of Antechrist, off whom ye haue herde, how that he shal come, and euen now allready is he in the worlde.

⁷ Dearly beloued, let vs loue one another, for loue commeth of God. And euery one yt loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God.

⁹ By this appeared the loue of God to vs warde, because that God sent his onely begotten sonne in to this worlde, that we mighte lyue thorow him. ¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his sonne to make agremet for oure synnes.

¹² No man hath sene God at eny tyme. Yf we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfecte in vs.

¹⁴ And we haue sene, & testifye that the father sent the sonne to be the Sauioure of the worlde.

¹⁴ And we haue sene, & testifye that the father sent the sonne to be the Sauioure of the worlde. ¹⁵ Whosoeuer now confesseth yt Iesus is the sonne of God in him dwelleth God, and he in God:

¹⁹ Let vs loue him, for he loued vs first. ²⁰ Yf eny man saye: I loue God, & yet hateth his brother, he is a lyar. For he that loueth not his brother whom he seyth, how can he loue God, whom he seyth not?

¹ Who so euer beleueth that Iesus is Christ, is borne of God. And who soeuer loueth him that begat, loueth him also which was begotten of him.

⁴ For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth the worlde: and this is the victory that ouercommeth the worlde, eue oure faith.

⁷ (For there are thre which beare recorde in heauen: the father, the worde, and the holy goost, & these thre are one.)

⁹ Yf we receaue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the wytnesse of God, which he testifyed of his sonne. ¹⁰ He that beleueth on ye sonne of God, hath the wytnes in him selfe. He that beleueth not God, hath made him a lyar. ¹¹ And this is that recorde, euen yt God hath geue vs euerlastinge life. And this life is in his sonne.

¹¹ And this is that recorde, euen yt God hath geue vs euerlastinge life. And this life is in his sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne of God, hath life: He that hath not the sonne of God, hath not life. ¹³ These thinges haue I wrytte vnto you, which beleue on the name of the sonne of God, that ye maye knowe, how that ye haue eternall life, and that ye maye beleue on ye name of the sonne of God.

¹⁸ We knowe, that whosoeuer is borne off God, synneth not: but he that is begotte of God, kepeth himselfe, & yt wicked toucheth him not.

²⁰ But we knowe, that the sonne of God is come, and hath geuen vs a mynde, to knowe him which is true: and we are in him yt is true, in his sonne Iesu Christ. This is the true God, and euerlastinge life.

⁷ For many disceauers are come in to the worlde, which confesse not yt Iesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a disceauer and an Antechrist.

⁹ Whoso euer transgresseth, and abydeth not in the doctryne of Christ, hath not God: he that abydeth in ye doctryne of Christ, hath both the father and the sonne.

¹¹ sayenge: I am Alpha and Omega, the fyrst and ye laste. That thou seist, write in a boke, and sende it vnto the cogregacions which are in Asia, vnto Ephesus and vnto Smyrna, and vnto Pargamos, and vnto Thiatira, and vnto Sardis, and vnto Philadelphia, and vnto Laodicia.

¹⁴ And vnto the angell of the cogregacion, which is in Laodicia wryte: This sayth Amen the faithfull and true witnes, the begynnynge of ye creatures of God.

²⁰ Beholde, I stonde at the doore & knocke. Yf eny man heare my voyce and vpen the dore, I wil come in vnto him and will suppe with him, & he with me.

¹ After this I loked, and beholde, a dore was open in heaue, and the fyrste voyce which I harde, was as it were of a trompet talkinge with me, which sayde: come vp hydder, and I wil shewe the thinges which must be fulfylled her after.

¹¹ thou art worthy LORDE to receaue glory, and honor, and power, for thou hast created all thinges, and for thy willes sake they are, and were created.

⁶ And I behelde, & lo, in the myddes of the seate, and of ye foure beastes, and in the myddes of ye elders, stode a lambe as though he had bene kylled, which had seuen hornes and seue eyes, which are the seue spretes of God, sent in to all the worlde.

¹² sayenge with a loude voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was killed, to receaue power, and riches & wissdome, and strength, and honoure and glory, and blessynge. ¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaue, & on the earth, & vnder the earth, & in the see, & all yt are in the, herd I sayenge: blessinge, honoure, glory, & power, be vnto him, yt sytteth vpo the seate, and vnto the labe for euermore.

¹ And I sawe when the labe opened one of the seales, & I herde one of the foure beestes saye, as it wer the noyse off thonder: come and se.

¹⁶ and sayde to the hylles, and rockes: fall on vs, and hyde vs from the presence of him that sytteth on the seate, and from the wrath of the lambe,

⁹ After this I behelde, and lo, a gret multitude (which no man coulde nombre) of all nacions and people, and tonges, stode before the seate, and before the lambe, clothed wt longe whyte garmetes, and palmes in their hondes,

⁹ After this I behelde, and lo, a gret multitude (which no man coulde nombre) of all nacions and people, and tonges, stode before the seate, and before the lambe, clothed wt longe whyte garmetes, and palmes in their hondes, ¹⁰ and cryed with a loude voyce, sayenge: saluacion be asscribed to him yt sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, and vnto the lambe.

¹⁰ and cryed with a loude voyce, sayenge: saluacion be asscribed to him yt sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, and vnto the lambe. ¹¹ And all the angels stode in the compase of the seate, and of the elders and of the foure beastes, and fell before ye seat on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² sayenge, amen: Blessynge and glory, wissdome and thakes, and honour, and power and might, be vnto oure God for euermore Amen. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, sayenge vnto me: what are these which are arayed in longe whyte garmetes, and whence cam they? ¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: LORDE thou wotest.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: LORDE thou wotest. And he sayde vnto me: these are they which cam out of gret tribulacion, and made their garmentes large, and made the whyte in the bloude of the lambe: ¹⁵ therfore are they in the presence of the seate of God and serue him daye and night in his temple, and he that sytteth in the seate, wyll dwell amonge them. ¹⁶ They shal honger nomore nether thyrst, nether shal the sonne lyght on them, nether eny heate: ¹⁷ For the labe which is in the myddes of the seate, shal fede them, and shal leade them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water, and God shal wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

¹¹ And they ouercame him by the bloude of the lambe, and by the worde of their testimony, and they loued not their lyues vnto the deeth.

⁸ and all that dwell vpon the earth worshipt him: whose names are not wrytten in the boke of life of the lambe, which was kylled from the beginnynge of the worlde.

¹ And I loked, and lo, a lambe stode on the mout Syon, and with him .C. and xliiij. thousande hauynge his fathers name wrytten in their forheades.

⁴ These are they, which were not defyled with wemen, for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whither soeuer he goeth. These were redemed from men, beynge the fyrst frutes vnto God and to the lambe, ⁵ and in their mouthes was founde no gyle. For they are withoute spot before the trone of God.

¹⁰ the same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God, which is powred in the cuppe of his wrath. And he shalbe punysshed in fyre and brymstone, before the holy Angels, and before the lambe.

³ and they songe the songe of Moses the seruaunt of God, and the songe of the lambe, saynge: Greate and maruellous are thy workes LORDE God almyghty, iust and true are thy wayes, thou kynge of sayntes.

¹⁴ These shal fyght with the lambe, and the labe shal ouercome them: For he is LORDE of all lordes, and kinge of all kinges: and they that are on his syde, are called, and chosen and faithfull.

⁷ Let vs be glad and reioyce, and geue honour to him: for the mariage of the labe is come, and his wife made her selfe ready.

⁹ And he sayde vnto me: Blessed are they which are called vnto the Lambes supper. And he sayde vnto me: these are the true sayenges of God.

⁶ And he sayde vnto me: it is done I am Alpha and Omega, the begynnynge, and the ende. I wil geue to him that is a thyrst of the well of the water of life fre.

⁹ And there came vnto me one of the seuen angels, which had the seuen vials full of the seuen last plages: and talked with me, sayenge: come hydder, I wil shewe the the bryde, ye labes wyfe.

¹⁴ and the wall of the cite had twolue foundacios, and in them the names of the lambes twolue Apostles.

²² And I sawe no temple therin. For the LORDE God allmighty and the lambe is the temple of it, ²³ and the cite hath no nede of the Sonne, nether of the mone to lyghten it. For the bryghtnes of God doth light it: and the lambe is the lyght of it.

²⁷ And there shal entre in to it none vncleane thinge: nether what soeuer worketh abhominacion: or maketh lyes: but they which are wrytten in the lambes boke of life.

¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, ye beginnynge and the ende: the first & the last.

¹⁶ I Iesus haue sent myne angell, to testifie vnto you these thinges in the cogregacions. I am the rote and the generacion of Dauid, and the bright mornynge starre. ¹⁷ And the sprete and the bryde saye: Come. And let him that heareth, saye also: Come. And let him that is a thyrst, come. And let whosoeuer wyll, take of the water of life fre.
