And he wente, and toke with him ten hundreth weighte of syluer, and sixe thousande guldens, & ten chaunge of rayment, ⁶ & broughte the letter vnto the kynge of Israel, with these wordes: Whan this letter commeth vnto the, beholde, thou shalt vnderstonde yt I haue sent my seruaunt Naaman vnto the, that thou mayest heale him of his leprosy. ⁷ And whan the kynge of Israel red the letter, he rente his clothes, & sayde: Am I God then, that I can kyll and quycke agayne, yt he sendeth vnto me, to heale the man fro his leprosy?

And he wolde nedes haue him to take it, but he wolde not. ¹⁷ Then sayde Naaman: Mighte there not a burthe of this earth be geue vnto yi seruaunt, as moch as two Mules maye beare? For thy seruaunt wyll nomore do sacrifice and offer burntofferynges vnto other goddes, but vnto the LORDE, ¹⁸ That the LORDE maye be gracious vnto thy seruaunt, yf I worshippe in the house of Rimmon, wha my lorde goeth there in to ye house to worshippe, & leaneth vpon my hande. ¹⁹ He sayde vnto him: Go thy waye in peace. And as he was gone from him a felde bredth in the londe, ²⁰ Gehasi the seruaunt of Eliseus ye man of God thoughte: beholde, my lorde hath spared Naama this Syrian, so that he hath not taken from him yt which he broughte: As truly as ye LORDE lyueth, I wil rune after him, & take somthinge of him. ²¹ So Gehasi folowed Naaman. And wha Naaman sawe yt he ranne after him, he lighte downe from the charet to mete him, & sayde: Are all thinges well? ²² He sayde: Yee. But my lorde hath sent me, & caused to saye vnto the: Beholde, there are now come to me fro mount Ephraim two yonge men of the prophetes childre, geue them a talete of siluer (I praye the) & two chaunge of rayment. ²³ Naama saide: Go to, take two taletes. And he copelled him, & bande two talentes in two bagges, and two chaunge of rayment, and delyuered it vnto two of his seruauntes, which bare it before him. ²⁴ And whan he came in ye darcke, he toke it from their handes, & layed it a syde in the house, & let the men go. ²⁵ And whan they were gone their waye, he stode before his lorde. And Eliseus sayde vnto him: Whence commest thou Gehasi? He sayde: Thy seruaunt wente nether hither ner thither. ²⁶ But he sayde vnto him: Wente not my hert wt the, whan the man turned backe from his charet to mete the? Now thou hast take the syluer & the rayment, olyue trees, vynyardes, shepe, oxen, seruauntes & maydens. ²⁷ But the leprosy of Naaman shal cleue vnto the & to thy sede for euer. Then wete he forth from him leporous as snowe.

³ And there were foure leporous men at ye dore before the porte, and one sayde vnto another: Why tary we here whyle we dye?

⁵ Howbeit the LORDE smote the kynge, so that he was leper vnto his death, and dwelt in a frye house. But Iotham the kynges sonne ruled the house, and iudged the people in the londe.

¹³ for Salomon had made a brasen pulpit, and set it in the myddes of the courte, fyue cubites longe, and fyue cubites brode, and thre cubites hye: vpon the same stode he, and fell downe vpon his knees in the presence of the whole cogregacion of Israel, and helde out his handes towarde heaue

⁷ As for me I will preach the lawe, wherof the LORDE hath sayde vnto me: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the.

³ Heare my voyce by tymes (o LORDE) for early in the morninge wil I gett me vnto the, yee & yt wt diligece.

¹⁰ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce, & my tunge was glad, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

⁵ Therfore I confessed my synne vnto the, and hyd not myne vnrightuousnesse.

⁹ For loke what he sayeth, it is done: and loke what he comaudeth, it stondeth fast.

⁷ Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not haue but a body hast thou ordeined me: burntofferynges and sacrifice for synne thou hast not alowed. Then sayde I: Lo, I come.

¹⁶ But vnto the vngodly sayeth God: Why doest thou preach my lawes, and takest my couenaunt in thy mouth?

¹¹ Therfore wil I remembre the workes of the LORDE, and call to mynde thy wonders of olde tyme.

¹⁸ For thou art the glory of their strength, & thorow thy fauoure shalt thou lift vp oure hornes. ¹⁹ The LORDE is oure defence, and the holy one of Israel is oure kynge.

¹ Prayse the LORDE (o my soule) & all that is within me prayse his holy name. ² Prayse the LORDE o my soule, & forget not all his benefites. ³ Which forgeueth all thy synnes, and healeth all thy infirmities.

⁴ Thus they rewarde me euell for good, & hatred for my good will.

¹² What rewarde shal I geue vnto ye LORDE, for all the benefites yt he hath done vnto me?

²³ O turne you vnto my correccion: lo, I wil expresse my mynde vnto you, and make you vnderstode my wordes.

¹³ He that hydeth his synnes, shall not prospere: but who so knowlegeth them and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.

¹⁵ Vnto the tyme that ye sprete be poured vpon vs from aboue. Then shal the wildernesse be a fruteful felde & the plenteous felde shalbe rekened for a wodde.

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.

¹ Beholde now therfore, this is my seruaunt whom I will kepe to my self: my electe, In whom my soule shalbe pacified. I will geue him my sprete, that he maye shewe forth iudgment & equyte amonge the Gentiles.

³ For I shal poure water vpon the drie grounde, and ryuers vpon the thurstie. I shal poure my sprete vpon thi sede, and myne encrease vpo thy stocke.

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: ² yt I might declare ye acceptable yeare of ye LORDE, & the daye of ye avegeaunce of oure God: that I might comforte all them that are in heuynesse, ³ that I might geue vnto them yt mourne in Sion, bewty in the steade of asshes, ioyful oyntmet for sighinge, pleasaunt raymet for an heuy mide: That they might be called excellent in rightuousnesse, a platinge of the LORDE for him to reioyce in.

¹ O that thou woldest cleue the heauen in sonder, & come downe: that the mountaynes might melt awaye at thy presence,

²⁹ Is not my worde like a fyre, saieth the LORDE) and like an hammer, that breaketh the harde stone?

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, & ye shalbe clene: Yee from all youre vnclennesse and from all yor Idols shal I clense you. ²⁶ A new herte also wil I geue you, and a new sprete wil I put in to you: As for that stony hert, I will take it out of youre body, and geue you a fle?shy herte. ²⁷ I wil geue you my sprete amonge you, and cause you to walke in my commaundemetes, to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them.

¹⁰ By this riuer shal the fy?shers stonde from Engaddi vnto En Eglaim, & there sprede out their nettes: for there shalbe greate heapes of fysh, like as in the mayne see.

⁴⁴ In the dayes off these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlastinge kyngdome which shall not perish, and his kyngdome shall not be geuen ouer to another people: Yee the same shall breake and destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer.

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.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: & yor sonnes & yor doughters shal prophecy: yor olde me shal dreame dreames & youre yonge men shal se visions:

⁴ He shal stonde fast, and geue fode in the strength of the LORDE, and in the victory of the name of ye LORDE his God: and when they be conuerted, he shall be magnified vnto the farthest partes of the worlde.

¹¹ And so it was broken in that daye. Then the poore symple shepe that had a respecte vnto me, knewe therby, that it was the worde of the LORDE.

⁴ And then shall those prophetes be confounded, euery one off his vision when he prophecieth: nether shall they weere sack clothes eny more, to disceaue me withall.

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.

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?

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.

¹⁷ And lo, there came a voyce fro heue sayng: Thys ys that my beloued sonne, in whom is my delyte.

¹ Then was Iesus ledd awaye of the spirite in to wildernes, to be tempted of the deuyll. ² And when he had fasted fourtye dayes and fourtye nightes, he was afterward an hungred. ³ And the tepter came to him and sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God, commaunde, that these stones be made breed.

³ And the tepter came to him and sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God, commaunde, that these stones be made breed. ⁴ He answered & sayde: yt is wrytte: Man shall not lyue by bred onlye, but by euery worde that proceadeth out of the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the deuyll toke hym vp into the holy cite, and set hym on a pynacle of the temple, 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. ⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: it ys wrytten also: Thou shalt not tempte thy LORDE God. ⁸ Agayne, the deuyll toke hym vp and led hym into an excedynge hye mountayne, and shewed hym all the kyngdomes of the worlde, and all the glorie of them, ⁹ and sayde vnto hym: all these wil I geue the, yf thou wilt fall downe and worship me. ¹⁰ Then sayde Iesus vnto hym: Auoyde Sata. For it ys wrytte: thou shalt worshyp the LORDE thy God and hym onely shalt thou serue. ¹¹ Then the deuell left hym, and beholde, the angels came and ministred vnto hym. ¹² When Iesus had herde that Ihon was taken, he departed into Galile ¹³ and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is a cite apon the see, in the coostes of zabulon and Neptalim,

¹⁷ From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to preach, and to saye: Amende youre selues, ye kingdome of heauen is at honde. 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, ¹⁹ and he sayde vnto them: folowe me, & I will make you fisshers of me.

¹⁹ and he sayde vnto them: folowe me, & I will make you fisshers of me. ²⁰ And they strayght waye lefte their nettes, and folowed hym.

²⁰ And they strayght waye lefte their nettes, and folowed hym. ²¹ And whan he wet forth from thence, he sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of zebede, and Ihon his brother, in the ship with zebede their father, mendynge their nettes, and called them.

²¹ And whan he wet forth from thence, he sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of zebede, and Ihon his brother, in the ship with zebede their father, mendynge their nettes, and called them. ²² And they without tarynge lefte ye shyp and their father, and folowed hym. ²³ And Iesus went aboute all Galile, teachyng in their synagoges, and preachynge the gospel of the kyngdome, and healed all maner of siknes, & all maner dyseases amonge the people. ²⁴ And his fame spred abrode through out all Siria. And they brought vnto hym all sick people, that were taken with diuers diseases and gripinges, and the yt were possessed with deuils, & those which were lunatyke, and those that had the palsie: & he healed the. ²⁵ And ther folowed hym a greate nombre of people, from Galile, & from the ten cities, and from Ierusalem, and from the regions that lye beyonde Iordan.

²⁸ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these saynges, the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne. ²⁹ For he taught them as one hauynge power, and not as the Scribes.

² And lo, there came a leper, and worsheped him, sayinge: LORDE, yf thou wylt, thou canst make me cleane. ³ And Iesus put forth hys honde, & touched him, sayinge: I wyl, be thou cleane: & immediatly his leprosie was clensed? ⁴ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Se thou tell no ma, but go and shew thy selfe to the preste, and offer the gyfte that Moses comaunded, in witnes to them.

⁴ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Se thou tell no ma, but go and shew thy selfe to the preste, and offer the gyfte that Moses comaunded, in witnes to them.

¹⁴ And Iesus went in to Peters housse, and sawe hys wyues mother lyinge sicke of a feuer: ¹⁵ so he touched her hande, and the feuer left hir: and she arose, and ministred vnto them. ¹⁶ When the euen was come, they brought vnto him many that were possessed with deuylls. And he cast out ye spirites with a worde, & healed all that were sicke,

²¹ Another that was one of his disciples, sayde vnto hym: Syr, geue me leue fyrst, to go & burye my father. ²² But Iesus sayde vnto him: folowe thou me, and let the deed burie their deed.

²⁹ And beholde, they cryed out sayinge: Oh Iesu thou sonne of God, what haue we to do wt the? Art thou come hyther to tormet vs, before the tyme be come?

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Iesus charged the, sayinge: Se that no ma knowe of it. ³¹ But they departed, & spred abroade his name through out all the londe.

³³ And whan the deuyl was cast out, the domme spake: And the people merueled sayinge: it was neuer so sene in Israel.

³⁵ And Iesus wente aboute in all cities and townes, teachinge in their synagoges & preachyng ye gospel of ye kyngdome, & healinge all maner sicknes & all maner desease amoge the people. ³⁶ And when he sawe the people, he had compassion on the, because they were pyned awaye, and scattered abroade, euen as shepe hauinge no shepherd,

² The names of the xii. Apostels are these: The fyrst, Simon called Peter: & Andrew his brother.Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Ihon his brother.

⁷ Go and preach, sayinge: The kyngdome of heue is at hande.

³⁷ Who so loueth father and mother more then me, is not mete for me: and he that loueth sonne or doughter more then me, is not mete for me.

² Whan Ihon beinge in preson herde of the workes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

⁵ The blynde se, and the lame go: the lepers are clensed, and ye deaf heare: the deed aryse ageyne, and the gospell is preached to the poore:

¹⁰ For this is he, of who it is written: Beholde, I sende my messauger before thy face, which shal prepare thy waye before the.

²² Then was there brought vnto him one possessed (of a deuell) the which was blynde and domne, and he healed him: in so moch yt ye blynde and domne both spake and sawe. ²³ And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this the sonne of Dauid?

⁴³ Whan the vncleane sprete is gone out of man, he walketh thorow dry places, sekinge rest, & fyndeth none.

⁵⁴ and came in to his owne coutre, and taught the in their synagoges: in so moch, that they were astonnyed and sayde: Whece cometh soch wyssdome & power vnto him?

² & sayde vnto his seruautes: This is Iho ye baptist. He is rysen agayne fro the deed, therfore are his dedes so mightie.

²³ And whan he had sent the people awaye, he wete vp in to a mountayne alone, to make his prayer. And at euen he was there him self alone.

³³ Then they that were in ye shippe, came & fell downe before him, & sayde: Of a trueth thou art ye sonne of God.

²⁸ Then answered Iesus & sayde vnto her: O woma, greate is yi faith be it vnto the, eue as thou desyrest. And hir doughter was made hole at ye same houre.

³¹ in so moch that the people wodred, to se the dome speake, the crepell whole, the halt to go, & the blynde to se. And they praysed the God of Israel.

⁵ Whyle he yet spake, beholde, a bright cloude ouershadowed them: and lo, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saienge: This is my deare sonne, in whom I delyte, heare him.

¹⁴ And whan they were come to the people, there came vnto him a certayne man, and kneled vnto him, and sayde:

²⁷ Then answered Peter & sayde vnto him: Beholde, we haue forsake all, and folowed the: What shal we haue therfore? ²⁸ Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: that when the sonne of man shal sytt in the seate of his maiestye, ye which haue folowed me in the new byrth, shal syt also vpon twolue seates, and iudge ye twolue trybes of Israel. ²⁹ And who so euer forsaketh houses or brethre, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or londes, for my names sake, the same shal receaue an hundreth folde, and inheret euerlastinge life. ³⁰ But many that be the first, shalbe the last: and the last shalbe the first.

³¹ Whether of them twayne dyd the wil of the father? They sayde vnto him: the first. Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: The publicans and harlottes shal come in to the kyngdome of God before you. ³² For Ihon came vnto you, and taught you ye right waye and ye beleued him not: but the publicans & harlottes beleued hi. As for you, though ye sawe it, yet were ye not moued with repetaunce, that ye might afterwarde haue beleued him.

² and sayde: The scrybes & Pharises are set downe vpon Moses seate. ³ Therfore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and do, but after their workes shal ye not do,

¹⁶ Wo vnto you blyndegydes, which saye: Who so euer sweareth by the temple, that is nothinge: but who so euer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is giltie. ¹⁷ Ye fooles and blynde, whether is greater? the golde, or the teple that sanctifieth the golde? ¹⁸ And who so euer sweareth by the altare, that is nothinge: but who so euer sweareth by the offeringe that is vpo it, he is giltye. ¹⁹ Ye fooles and blynde, whether is greater? the offeringe, or the altare that sanctifieth the offerynge? ²⁰ Therfore who so sweareth by the altare, sweareth by the same, and by all that is theron: ²¹ and who so sweareth by the temple, sweareth by the same, and by him that dwelleth therin. ²² And who so sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by him that sytteth theron. ²³ Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, which tythe Mynt, Anyse and Commyn, and leaue the waightier matters of the lawe behynde: namely, iudgment, mercy, and fayth. These ought to haue bene done, and not to leaue the other behynde. ²⁴ O ye blynde gydes, which strayne out a gnat, but swalowe vp a Camell.

²⁴ The sonne of man goeth forth, as it is wrytten of him: but wo vnto that man by who the sonne of man shalbe betrayed: It had bene better for that ma, yf he had neuer bene borne.

³¹ Then sayde Iesus vnto them. This night shal ye all be offended in me. For it is wrytten: I wil smyte the shepherde, and the shepe of the flocke shalbe scatered abrode.

⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I can not praye my father now, to sende me more then twolue legions of angels?

⁵⁵ And there were many wemen there lokynge to afarre of, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, and had mynistred vnto him:

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

⁵ And there wente out vnto him the whole londe of Iewry, and they of Ierusalem, and were all baptysed of him in Iordan, and knowleged their synnes.

¹⁶ So as he walked by the see of Galile, he sawe Symon and Andrew his brother, castinge their nettes in the see, for they were fysshers. ¹⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto the: Folowe me, and I wil make you fysshers of me. ¹⁸ And immediatly they left their nettes, and folowed him. ¹⁹ And when he was gone a lytle further from thence, he sawe Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Ihon his brother, as they were in the shyppe mendynge their nettes. ²⁰ And anone he called them. And they left their father Zebede in the shyppe with the hyred seruauntes, and folowed him. ²¹ And they wente in to Capernaum, and immediatly vpon the Sabbathes, he entred in to the synagoge, and taught.

²³ And in their synagoge there was a man possessed with a foule sprete, which cried

²⁵ And Iesus reproued him, and sayde: holde thy tonge, and departe out of him.

³¹ And he came to her, and set her vp, and toke her by ye hande, and the feuer left her immediatly. And she mynistred vnto them.

³⁴ and he healed many that were diseased with dyuerse sicknesses, and cast out many deuels, and suffred not the deuels to speake, because they knew him.

³⁹ And he preached i their synagoges, in all Galile, and droue out the deuyls.

⁴⁵ But he whan he was departed, beganne to speake moch of it, and made the dede knowne: in so moch that Iesus coude no more go into the cite openly, but was without in deserte places, & they came vnto him fro all quarters.

¹ And after certayne dayes he wente agayne vnto Capernaum, and it was noysed that he was in ye house.

¹ And after certayne dayes he wente agayne vnto Capernaum, and it was noysed that he was in ye house. ² And immediatly there was gathered a greate multitude, in so moch that they had no rowme, no not without before the dore. And he spake the worde vnto the.

¹³ And he wente forth agayne vnto the see, and all the people came vnto him, and he taught them.

² And they marked him, whether he wolde heale him on the Sabbath, that they might accuse him.

⁷ But Iesus departed awaye with his disciples vnto the see. And there folowed him moch people out of Galile, and fro Iewry,

¹¹ And whan the foule spretes sawe him, they fell downe before him, and cried, and sayde: Thou art the sonne of God. ¹² And he charged them strately, that they shulde not make him knowne.

¹² And he charged them strately, that they shulde not make him knowne.

¹⁶ And vnto Symon he gaue the name Peter, ¹⁷ and Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Ihon the brother of Iames, and gaue the the name Bonarges, that is to saye, the children of thonder: ¹⁸ and Andrew, and Philippe, and Bartylmew, and Mathew, and Thomas, and Iames ye sonne of Alpheus, and Taddeus, and Symon of Cana,

³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked ye wynde, and sayde vnto the see: Peace, and be styll, And the wynde was layed, & there folowed a greate calme.

² And whan he wete out of the shippe, there met him a ma possessed of an vncleane sprete,

⁷ and cried loude, and sayde: What haue I to do with the O Iesus thou sonne of ye Hyest God? I charge the by God, that thou torment me not.

²³ and besought him greatly, & sayde: My doughter is at the poynte (of death) let it be thy pleasure to come and laye thine honde vpon her, that she maye be whole and lyue.

²⁹ And immediatly ye fountayne of hir bloude was dryed vp, and she felt in hir body, yt she was healed of the plage.

³⁷ And he suffred no ma to folowe him, but Peter and Iames and Ihon his brother.

⁴¹ And he toke the mayde by the honde, and sayde vnto her: Thabitha Cumi (which is by interpretaeion) Mayde, I saye vnto the: Aryse.

⁴³ And he charged them strately, that no man shulde knowe of it, and sayde vnto them, that they shulde geue her to eate.

² And wha ye Sabbath came, he begane to teach in their synagoge. And many that herde it, marueled at his lernynge, and sayde: From whece hath he these thinges? And what wyssdome is this, yt is geue him: & soch actes as are done by his handes?

³⁴ And Iesus wente out, and sawe moch people, and had copassion vpon them: for they were as the shepe, that haue no shepherde, and he begane a loge sermon.

⁴⁶ (Omitted Text) ⁴⁷ And at euen was the shippe in the myddest of the see, and he alone vpon the londe. ⁴⁸ And he sawe that they were in parell with rowynge, for the wynde was agaynst them.And aboute the fourth watch of ye night he came vnto them, and walked vpon the see, and wolde haue gone ouer by the.

³ For the Pharises & all the Iewes eate not, excepte they wash their handes oft tymes: obseruynge so the tradicions of the elders. ⁴ And whan they come from the market, they eate not, excepte they wasshe. And many other thynges there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the washinge of cuppes and cruses, and brasen vessels and tables. ⁵ Then the Pharises and scrybes axed him: Why walke not thy disciples after the tradicions of the elders, but eate bred with vnwasshen handes? ⁶ But he answered & sayde vnto them: Full well hath Esay prophecied of you Ypocrytes, as it is wrytte: This people honoureth me wt their lippes, but their hert is farre fro me. ⁷ But in vayne do they serue me, whyle they teach soch doctrynes as are nothinge but the commaundemetes of me. ⁸ Ye leaue the comaundement of God and kepe the tradicions of men, as the wasshynge of cruses and cuppes, & many soch thinges do ye. ⁹ And he saide vnto the: How goodly haue ye cast asyde the comaundement of God, to manteyne youre owne tradicions? ¹⁰ For Moses sayde: Honoure father & mother. Whoso curseth father and mother, shal dye the death. ¹¹ But ye saye: A ma shal saye to father or mother: Corban, that is, The thinge yt I shulde helpe the withall, is geue vnto God. ¹² And thus ye suffre him nomore to do ought for his father or his mother, ¹³ & make Gods worde of none effecte, thorow youre owne tradicions that ye haue set vp. And many soch thinges do ye.

²⁵ For a certayne woman (whose doughter had a foule sprete) herde of him, and came and fell downe at his fete

³⁰ And she wente vnto her house, & founde that the deuell was departed, and hir doughter lyenge on the bed.

³⁶ And he charged them, that they shulde tell noman.But the more he forbad them, the more they published it, ³⁷ & marueyled out of measure, and sayde: He hath done all thinges well. The deaf hath he made to heare, and the domme to speake.

² And after sixe dayes Iesus toke vnto him Peter, Iames and Ihon, and brought them vp in to an hye mountayne out of the waye alone, and was ttasfigured before them,

⁷ And there was a cloude, which ouershadowed the. And out of the cloude there came a voyce, and sayde: This is my deare sonne, heare him.

²⁰ And they brought him vnto him. And as soone as the sprete sawe him, he tare him, and fell vpon the earth, and weltred and fomed.

²² and oft tymes hath he cast him in to the fyre and water, to destroye him: but yf thou canst do enythinge, haue mercy vpon vs, and helpe vs. ²³ Iesus sayde vnto him: Yf thou couldest beleue: All thinges are possible vnto him that beleueth.

²⁵ Now whan Iesus sawe that the people ranne to, he rebuked the foule sprete, and sayde vnto him: Thou domme and deaf sprete, I charge the, departe out of him, and entre nomore in to him from hence forth. ²⁶ And he cried, and rent him sore, and departed. And he was as though he had bene deed, in so moch that many sayde: he is deed.

¹ And he rose vp, and came from thence in to the places of Iewry beyonde Iordan. And the people wete agayne vnto him by heapes, and as his maner was he taught them agayne.

¹⁷ And whan he was gone forth vpon the waye, there came one runninge, and kneled vnto him, & axed him: Good Master, what shal I do, that I maye inheret euerlastinge life?

²⁴ And the disciples were astonnyed at his wordes. But Iesus answered agayne, and sayde vnto them: Deare children, how harde is it for them that trust in riches, to come into the kyngdome of God?

²⁸ Then sayde Peter vnto him: Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and folowed the. ²⁹ Iesus answered & sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no man that forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife, or children, or londes for my sake and the gospels,

²⁹ Iesus answered & sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no man that forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife, or children, or londes for my sake and the gospels, ³⁰ that shal not receaue an hundreth folde now in this tyme, houses, and brethre, and sisters, and mothers and children, and londes with persecucions, and in the worlde to come euerlastinge life. ³¹ But many that are the first, shal be the last: and the last the first. ³² They were in the waye goinge vp to Ierusalem, and Iesus wente before them. And they were astonnyed, and folowed him, and were afrayed. And Iesus toke the twolue agayne, and tolde them what shulde happe vnto him.

³⁵ Then wete vnto him Iames and Ihon ye sonnes of Zebede, and sayde: Master, We desyre, that what soeuer we axe of the, thou wilt do it for vs.

³³ And he toke with him Peter & Iames, & Ihon, and begane to waxe fearefull, & to be in an agonye,

⁴¹ which had folowed him wha he was in Galile, and mynistred vnto hi: & many other yt wete vp wt hi to Ierusalem.

² like as they delyuered the vnto vs, which from the begynnynge sawe them their selues, and were mynisters of the worde, ³ I thought it good (after that I had diligently searched out all from the begynnynge) to wryte the same orderly vnto the (good Theophilus)

¹⁵ for he shal be greate before the LORDE. Wyne and stronge drynke shal he not drynke. And he shalbe fylled wt the holy goost, euen in his mothers wombe. ¹⁶ And many of the children of Israel shal he turne vnto the LORDE their God. ¹⁷ And he shal go before him in the sprete and power of Elias, to turne the hertes of ye fathers vnto the children, and the vnfaithfull vnto the wyssdome of the righteous, to make the people ready for the LORDE.

³⁵ The angell answered, & sayde vnto her: The holy goost shal come vpon the, & the power of the Hyest shal ouershadowe the. Therfore that Holy also which shalbe borne (of the) shalbe called the sonne of God.

⁷⁰ Euen as he promysed afore tyme, by the mouth of his holy prophetes.

⁷⁶ And thou childe shalt be called a prophet of the Hyest: for thou shalt go before ye LORDE, to prepare his wayes. ⁷⁷ And to geue knowlege of saluacion vnto his people, for the remyssion of their synnes.

¹⁰ And the angell sayde vnto them: Be not afrayed. Beholde, I brynge you tydiges of greate ioye, which shall happen vnto all people: ¹¹ for vnto you this daye is borne ye Sauioure, eue Christ ye LORDE, in the cite of Dauid.

⁴⁹ And he sayde vnto them: What is it, that ye haue sought me? Wyst ye not, yt I must go aboute my fathers busynes?

For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to rayse vp children vnto Abraham. ⁹ The axe is put vnto the tre allready: so that euery tre which bryngeth not forth good frute, shalbe hewen downe, and cast in to the fyre. ¹⁰ And the people axed him, and sayde: What shal we do then? ¹¹ He answered, & sayde vnto the: He that hath two coates, let him parte wt him yt hath none: and he that hath meate, let him do likewyse. ¹² The publicans came also, to be baptysed and sayde vnto him: Master, what shal we do? ¹³ He sayde vnto them: Requyre nomore, then is appoynted you. ¹⁴ Then ye soudyours axed him likewyse, and sayde: What shal we do then? And he sayde vnto the: Do no man violence ner wronge, and be content with youre wages. ¹⁵ But whan the people were in a doute, & thought all in their hertes, whether he were Christ, ¹⁶ Ihon answered, and sayde vnto the all: I baptyse you with water, but after me there cometh one stronger the I, whose shue lachet I am not worthy to lowse: he shal baptyse you with the holy goost and with fyre.

¹⁶ Ihon answered, and sayde vnto the all: I baptyse you with water, but after me there cometh one stronger the I, whose shue lachet I am not worthy to lowse: he shal baptyse you with the holy goost and with fyre.

²⁰ besydes all this he layed Iho in preson. ²¹ And it fortuned whan all the people receaued baptyme, and whan Iesus also was baptysed and prayed, that heauen opened, ²² and the holy goost came downe in a bodely shappe like a doue vpon him. And out of heauen there came a voyce, which sayde: Thou art my deare sonne, in who I delyte.

²² and the holy goost came downe in a bodely shappe like a doue vpon him. And out of heauen there came a voyce, which sayde: Thou art my deare sonne, in who I delyte.

¹ Iesus full of the holy goost, came agayne from Iordane, and was led of ye sprete into wyldernes, ² & fourty dayes loge was he tepted of ye deuell. And in those dayes ate he nothinge. And whan they were ended, he hongred afterwarde. ³ And the deuell sayde vnto him: Yf thou be ye sonne of God, comaunde this stone, yt it be bred. ⁴ And Iesus answered & sayde vnto hi: It is wrytten: Man shal not lyue by bred onely, but by euery worde of God. ⁵ And ye deuell toke him vp into an hye moutayne, and shewed him all the kyngdomes of ye whole worlde in ye twinckelinge of an eye, ⁶ & sayde vnto him: All this power wil I geue vnto the, and the glory therof, for it is geue ouer vnto me, and I geue it, to whom I wil. ⁷ Yf thou now wilt worshippe me, they shal all be thine. ⁸ Iesus answered him, and sayde: Auoyde fro me thou Satan. It is wrytten: Thou shalt worshippe the LORDE thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue. ⁹ And he caried him to Ierusalem, and set him vpon a pynnacle of the temple, and sayde vnto him: Yf thou be ye sonne of God, cast thy self downe from hence. ¹⁰ For it is wrytte: He shal geue his angels charge ouer the, to kepe the, ¹¹ and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone. ¹² And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: It is sayde: Thou shalt not tempte the LORDE thy God. ¹³ And whan ye deuell had ended all the temptacions, he departed from him for a season.

¹⁶ And he came vnto Nazareth where he was noursed, and as his custome was, he wete in to the synagoge vpon ye Sabbath, and stode vp for to rede. ¹⁷ Then was there delyuered him the boke of ye prophet Esay. And whan he had turned ouer the boke, he founde the place where it is wrytten:

¹⁷ Then was there delyuered him the boke of ye prophet Esay. And whan he had turned ouer the boke, he founde the place where it is wrytten: ¹⁸ The sprete of the LORDE is with me, because he hath anoynted me: to preach the Gospell vnto ye poore hath he sent me: to heale the broken harted: to preach delyuerauce to the captyue, and sight to the blynde: and frely to set at liberty them that are brused:

¹⁸ The sprete of the LORDE is with me, because he hath anoynted me: to preach the Gospell vnto ye poore hath he sent me: to heale the broken harted: to preach delyuerauce to the captyue, and sight to the blynde: and frely to set at liberty them that are brused: ¹⁹ and to preach the acceptable yeare of the LORDE.

¹⁹ and to preach the acceptable yeare of the LORDE. ²⁰ And whan he had closed the boke, he gaue it agayne to ye mynister, & sat him downe. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge, were fastened on him. ²¹ And he begane to saye vnto them: This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares.

³¹ and came to Capernaum a cite of Galile, and taught the vpo the Sabbathes. ³² And they wondred at his doctryne, for his preachinge was with power.

³² And they wondred at his doctryne, for his preachinge was with power. ³³ And in the Synagoge there was a man possessed with a foule deuell, & he cryed loude, ³⁴ and sayde: Let me alone, what haue we to do wt the thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? I knowe ye who thou art, euen the Holy of God.

³⁴ and sayde: Let me alone, what haue we to do wt the thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? I knowe ye who thou art, euen the Holy of God. ³⁵ And Iesus rebuked him and sayde: holde thy tuge, and departe out of him. And the deuell threw hi in the myddest amonge them, and departed from him, and dyd him no harme.

³⁵ And Iesus rebuked him and sayde: holde thy tuge, and departe out of him. And the deuell threw hi in the myddest amonge them, and departed from him, and dyd him no harme. ³⁶ And there came a feare ouer the all, and they spake amonge themselues, and sayde: What maner of thinge is this? He commaundeth the foule spretes with auctorite and power, and they departe out.

³⁶ And there came a feare ouer the all, and they spake amonge themselues, and sayde: What maner of thinge is this? He commaundeth the foule spretes with auctorite and power, and they departe out. ³⁷ And ye fame of him was noysed thorow out all the places of ye countre rounde aboute.

³⁷ And ye fame of him was noysed thorow out all the places of ye countre rounde aboute. ³⁸ And he rose vp out of the synagoge, and came in to Symons house. And Symos mother in lawe was take with a greate feuer, & they prayde him for her. ³⁹ And he wete vnto her, & comaunded the feuer. And it left her, & imediatly she rose vp, & mynistred vnto the. ⁴⁰ And whan the Sonne was gone downe all they that had sicke of dyuerse diseases, brought the vnto him. And he layed his hades vpon euery one of the, & made the whole. ⁴¹ The deuels also departed out of many, criege and sayenge: Thou art Christ the sonne of God. And he rebuked the, & suffred them not to speake: for they knewe that he was Christ. ⁴² But wha it was daye, he wete out in to a deserte place. And the people sought hi, and came vnto him, & kepte him, yt he shulde not departe fro the. ⁴³ But he sayde vnto the: I must preach the Gospell of ye kyngdome of God to other cities also: for there to am I sent.

⁴³ But he sayde vnto the: I must preach the Gospell of ye kyngdome of God to other cities also: for there to am I sent.

⁴³ But he sayde vnto the: I must preach the Gospell of ye kyngdome of God to other cities also: for there to am I sent. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagoges of Galile.

¹ It came to passe, yt the people preassed vpon him to heare the worde of God, and he stode by the lake of Genazereth, ² and sawe two shippes stode by ye lake syde, but ye fishers were gone out of the, and had wasshed their nettes. ³ Then wente he in to one of the shippes, which was Symons, and prayed him, yt he wolde thrust out a litle fro the londe. And he sat him downe, and taught the people out of ye shippe. ⁴ And whan he had left of talkynge, he sayde vnto Symon: Launch out in to the depe & let slyppe yor nettes, to make a draught. ⁵ And Symon answered and sayde vnto him: Master, we haue laboured all ye night, and taken nothinge. But vpo thy worde, I wil lowse forth the nett. ⁶ And wha they had so done, they toke a greate multitude of fisshes, & their net brake. ⁷ And they made sygnes to their felowes which were in ye other shippe, yt they shulde come, & helpe the. And they came, & fylled both the shippes full, so yt they soncke. ⁸ Whan Symon Peter sawe yt, he fell downe at Iesus knees, & sayde: LORDE, go ⁹ fro me, for I am a synfull man: For he was astonnyed and all that were wt him, at this draught of fishes which they toke, ¹⁰ and so were Iames and Ihon also the sonnes of Zebede, which were Symons companyons. And Iesus sayde vnto Symo: Feare not, for fro hence forth thou shalt take men.

¹⁰ and so were Iames and Ihon also the sonnes of Zebede, which were Symons companyons. And Iesus sayde vnto Symo: Feare not, for fro hence forth thou shalt take men. ¹¹ And they brought the shippes to londe, and left all, and folowed him.

¹¹ And they brought the shippes to londe, and left all, and folowed him. ¹² And it fortuned as he was in a cite, beholde, there was a man full of leprosy. Wha he sawe Iesus, he fell vpo his face, & besought him, and sayde: LORDE, yf thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane. ¹³ And he stretched out his hade, and touched him, and sayde: I wil, be thou cleane. And immediatly the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴ And he charged him, yt he shulde tell no ma, but go thy waye (sayde he) and shewe thyself vnto ye prest, and offre for yi clensynge, as Moses comaunded, for a witnesse vnto the.

¹⁴ And he charged him, yt he shulde tell no ma, but go thy waye (sayde he) and shewe thyself vnto ye prest, and offre for yi clensynge, as Moses comaunded, for a witnesse vnto the. ¹⁵ But ye fame of hi wete out farther abrode, & there came moch people together, to heare him, & to be healed by hi fro their sicknesses. ¹⁶ And he departed in to the wyldernesses, & gaue him self to prayer.

¹⁶ And he departed in to the wyldernesses, & gaue him self to prayer. ¹⁷ And it fortuned vpo a daye, yt he taught, and there sat ye Pharises and scrybes, which were come out of all the townes of Galile, and Iewry, and fro Ierusale, and the power of the LORDE wete fro him, & healed euery man.

¹² And it fortuned at the same tyme, that he wente out in to a mountayne to praye, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Symon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, Iames and Ihon, Phylippe and Bartylmew,

⁶ And Iesus wente wt them.Now whan they were not farre from ye house, ye captaine sent fredes vnto hi, saiege vnto him: Oh LORDE, trouble not thy self, I am not worthy, yt thou shuldest enter vnder my rofe, ⁷ and therfore I thought not my self worthy to come to ye: but speake ye worde, & my seruaut shalbe whole.

¹² Whan he came nye to the gate of the cite, beholde, there was caried out one deed, which was the onely sonne of his mother, and she was a wyddowe, and moch people of the cite wente with her. ¹³ And whan the LORDE sawe her, he had copassion on her, and sayde vnto her: Wepe not.

²⁷ This is he, of whom it is wrytten: Beholde, I sende my messaunger before yi face, which shal prepare thy waye before the. ²⁸ For I saye vnto you: Amonge the yt are borne of weme, there is no greater prophet the Ihon the baptist. Notwith stondynge he that is lesse in the kyngdome of God, is greater then he.

¹ And it fortuned afterwarde, that he wente thorow the cities and townes, and preached, and shewed ye Gospell of the kyngdome of God, and the twolue wt him. ² And certayne wemen also, who he had healed fro euell spretes and infirmities: Namely, Mary which is called Magdalene, out of whom wente seuen deuels, ³ and Ioanna ye wife of Chusa Herodes stewarde, and Susanna, and many other, that mynistred vnto them of their substaunce.

²⁸ Neuertheles wha he sawe Iesus, he cried, and fell downe before him, and cried loude, & sayde: What haue I to do with the Iesus, thou sonne of the Hyest God? I beseke the, that thou wilt not tormete me.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of ye countre of the Gadarenites besought him, that he wolde departe from them, for there was a greate feare come vpon the. And he gat him in to ye shippe, and turned agayne.

⁵⁶ And hir elders were astonnyed. But he charged them, that they shulde tell no man, what was done.

¹ And he called the twolue together, and gaue them power and auctorite ouer all deuels, and that they might heale diseases.

³⁵ And out of the cloude there came a voyce, which sayde: This is my deare sonne, heare him.

³⁹ beholde, the sprete taketh him, and sodenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and with payne departeth he from him, whan he hath rente him. And

⁴² And whan he came to him, the deuell rente him and tare him. But Iesus rebuked the foule sprete, and healed the chylde, and delyuered him vnto his father agayne.

⁵⁸ And Iesus sayde vnto him: The foxes haue holes, and the byrdes vnder the heaue haue nestes: but the sonne of man hath not wheron to laye his heade.

⁹ And heale the sicke that are there, and saye vnto them: The kyngdome of God is come nye vnto you.

¹¹ Euen the very dust which cleaueth vpon vs of youre cite, wype we of vpon you. But of this ye shal be sure, that the kyngdome of God was come nye vnto you.

¹⁵ And thou Capernaum which art exalted vnto the heauen, shalt be thrust downe vnto hell.

¹⁷ The seuetye came agayne with ioye, and sayde: LORDE, the deuels also are subdued vnto vs in thy name. ¹⁸ But he sayde vnto them: I sawe Sathan fall downe from heauen as a lightenynge. ¹⁹ Beholde, I haue geuen you power to treade vpon serpetes and scorpions, and ouer all power of the enemye, and nothinge shall hurte you. ²⁰ Neuertheles, reioyce not ye in this, that the spretes are subdued vnto you: but reioyse, that youre names are wrytten in heauen.

²² but whan a stronger then he commeth vpo him, and ouer commeth him, he taketh fro him all his wapens, wherin he trusted, and deuydeth the spoyle.

¹⁰ And he taught in a synagoge vpon the Sabbath:

²⁶ Yf eny man come vnto me, and hate not his father, mother, wife, childre, brethre, sisters, yee and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple.

³³ So likewyse euery one of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can not be my disciple.

¹² And as he came in to a towne, there met him ten leporous men, which stode afarre of, ¹³ and lift vp their voyce, and sayde: Iesu master, haue mercy vpon vs. ¹⁴ And whan he sawe them, he sayde vnto the: Go, and shewe youre selues vnto ye prestes. And it came to passe, as they wente, they were clensed.

¹⁴ And whan he sawe them, he sayde vnto the: Go, and shewe youre selues vnto ye prestes. And it came to passe, as they wente, they were clensed. ¹⁵ And one of them wha he sawe that he was clensed, he turned backe agayne, and praysed God with loude voyce, ¹⁶ and fell downe on his face at his fete, and gaue him thankes. And the same was a Samaritane. ¹⁷ Iesus answered and saide: Are there not ten clensed? But where are those nyne? ¹⁸ There were els none founde, that turned agayne, and gaue God the prayse, saue onely this strauger. ¹⁹ And he sayde vnto him: Aryse, go thy waye, thy faith hath made ye whole.

²⁸ Then sayde Peter: Beholde, we haue forsake all, and folowed the. ²⁹ He sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no ma yt forsaketh house, or elders, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kyngdome of Gods sake, ³⁰ which shal not receaue moch more in this tyme, and euerlastinge life in the worlde to come. ³¹ He toke vnto him the twolue, and sayde vnto them: Beholde, we go vp to Ierusale, and it shal all be fulfilled, that is wrytten by the prophetes of the sonne of man.

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

³⁹ And he wente out (as he was wonte) vnto mout Oliuete. But his disciples folowed him vnto the same place. ⁴⁰ And whan he came thither, he sayde vnto the: Praye, that ye fall not in to teptacion. ⁴¹ And he gat him from them aboute a stones cast, and kneled downe, prayed,

⁴¹ And he gat him from them aboute a stones cast, and kneled downe, prayed, ⁴² & sayde: Father, yf thou wilt, take awaye this cuppe fro me: Neuerthelesse, not my wyll, but thyne be fulfylled. ⁴³ And there appeared vnto him an angell fro heauen, and conforted him. ⁴⁴ And it came so, that he wrestled with death, and prayed the longer. And his sweate was like droppes of bloude, runnynge downe to the grounde. ⁴⁵ And he rose vp fro prayer, and came to his disciples, and founde them slepinge for heuynesse, ⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: What, slepe ye? ryse vp and praye, that ye fall not into tentacion.

¹⁹ And he sayde vnto the: What? They sayde vnto him: That of Iesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet, mightie in dede and worde, before God and all ye people,

⁴⁷ and to let repentaunce and remyssion, of synnes be preached in his name amoge all nacions, and to begynne at Ierusale.

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:

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. 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? ²³ He sayde: I am ye voyce of a cryer in the wyldernesse. Make straight ye waye of the LORDE. As ye prophet Esay sayde: ²⁴ And they that were sent, were of ye Pharises. 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.

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. 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. 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.

³⁴ And I sawe it, and bare recorde, that this is the sonne of God.

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.

⁴⁹ Nathanaell answered, and sayde vnto hi: Rabbi, thou art ye sonne of God, thou art ye kynge of Israel.

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.

²² Afterwarde came Iesus & his disciples in to the lode of Iewry, and had his beynge there with them, and baptysed ²³ Ihon baptysed also in Enon besyde Salem: for there was moch water there. And they came thither, and were baptysed:

²³ Ihon baptysed also in Enon besyde Salem: for there was moch water there. And they came thither, and were baptysed: ²⁴ for Iohn was not yet put in preson.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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. 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. 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.

³⁴ Iesus sayde vnto the: My meate is this, that I do the wyll of him that sent me, and to fynish his worke.

⁵⁰ Iesus sayde vnto him: Go thy waye, thy sonne lyueth. The man beleued the worde, that Iesus sayde vnto him, and wente his waye. ⁵¹ And as he was goinge downe, his seruauntes mett him, and tolde him, and sayde: Thy childe lyueth. ⁵² Then enquyred he of them the houre, wherin he beganne to amende. And they sayde vnto him: Yesterdaye aboute the seueth houre the feuer left him. ⁵³ Then the father perceaued, that it was aboute the same houre, wherin Iesus sayde vnto him: Thy sonne lyueth. And he beleued with his whole house.

²⁰ The father loueth the sonne, & sheweth him all that he doth, and wyll shewe him yet greater workes, so that ye shal marueyle. ²¹ For as the father rayseth vp the deed, and maketh them lyue, eue so the sonne also maketh lyuynge whom he wyll. ²² For the father iudgeth no man, but hath geuen all iudgmet vnto the sonne, 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.

³⁷ And ye father him self which hath sent me, beareth wytnesse of me. Ye haue nether herde his voyce at eny tyme, ner sene his shappe:

² And moch people folowed him, because they sawe the tokens that he dyd vpon the which were diseased.

⁸ The sayde vnto hi one of his disciples, Andrew ye brother of Symo Peter:

¹⁵ Whan Iesus now perceaued that they wolde come, and take him vp, to make him kynge, he gat him awaye agayne in to a mountayne himself alone.

⁶⁹ and we haue beleued & knowne, that thou art Christ the sonne of the lyuynge God.

⁴⁶ The seruauntes answered: Neuer ma spake as this man doth.

⁴ I must worke the workes of him that hath sent me, whyle it is daye. The night commeth, whan no man can worke.

³ The sent his sisters vnto hi, & sayde: LORDE, beholde, he who thou louest lyeth sicke.

⁴⁸ Yf we let him go thus, all me wyl beleue in him: the shal the Romaynes come, and take awaye oure londe and people.

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

²² Philippe came, & tolde Andrew. And agayne, Philippe and Andrew tolde Iesus.

²⁸ Father, glorifye thy name. Then came there a voyce from heauen: I haue glorified it, and wyl glorifye it agayne. ²⁹ Then sayde the people that stode by and herde: It thondereth. Other sayde: An angell spake vnto him. ³⁰ Iesus answered, and sayde: This voyce came not because of me, but for youre sakes.

³ Now are ye cleane, because of the worde, that I haue spoke vnto you.

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

⁴ I haue glorified ye vpo earth, & fynished ye worke, yt thou gauest me to do.

⁸ For ye wordes which thou gauest me, haue I geue vnto them, and they haue receaued them, & knowne of a trueth, that I am come forth from the, and haue beleued, that thou hast sent me.

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.

¹ The first treatise (deare Theophilus) haue I made of all that Iesus beganne to do and to teache, ² vntyll ye daye that he was taken vp, after that he (thorow the holy goost) had geuen commaundementes to to the Apostles, whom he had chosen:

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

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.

¹⁷ And it shal come to passe in the last dayes, sayeth God, I will poure out of my sprete vpon all flesh, and youre sonnes and youre doughters shal prophecye, and youre yonge men shal se visions and youre olde men shall dreame dreames,

²⁷ For thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, nether shalt thou suffer yi Holy to se corrupcion.

³⁶ So therfore let all the house of Israel knowe for a suertye, yt God hath made this same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) LORDE and Christ. ³⁷ Whan they herde this, their hert pricked them, and they sayde vnto Peter and to the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre, What shal we do? ³⁸ Peter sayde onto them: Amede youre selues, and let euery one of you be baptysed in the name of Iesus Christ, for the remyssion of synnes, and ye shal receaue the gifte of the holy goost.

³⁸ Peter sayde onto them: Amede youre selues, and let euery one of you be baptysed in the name of Iesus Christ, for the remyssion of synnes, and ye shal receaue the gifte of the holy goost.

³⁸ Peter sayde onto them: Amede youre selues, and let euery one of you be baptysed in the name of Iesus Christ, for the remyssion of synnes, and ye shal receaue the gifte of the holy goost. ³⁹ For this promyse was made vnto you and youre children, and to all that are farre of, who so euer the LORDE oure God shal call. ⁴⁰ And wt many other wordes bare he witnesse, and exorted them, and sayde: Saue youre selues from this vntowarde generacion. ⁴¹ They that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptysed, & the same daye there were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred the murthurer to be geuen you,

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,

¹⁰ and they coulde not resiste the wyssdome and the sprete, out of the which he spake.

⁶⁰ And he kneled downe, & cried with a loude voyce: LORDE, laye not this synne to their charge. And wha he had thus spoken, he fell a slepe.

²¹ But all they that herde him, were amased, and sayde: Is not this he, which at Ierusalem spoyled all those that called on his name? and came hither to the intent that he shulde brynge them bounde vnto the hye prestes? ²² But Saul increased in strength, & cofounded ye Iewes which dwelt at Damascon, and affirmed yt this was very Christ.

⁴¹ But he gaue her the hande, and lifte her vp, and called the sayntes and the wedowes, and shewed her there alyue.

³⁷ which preachinge was published thorow out all Iewry, and begane in Galile after ye baptyme that Ihon preached,

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.

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.

² As for Iames the brother of Ihon, him he slewe with the swerde.

¹⁴ Neuertheles they wandred thorow from Perga, and came to Antioche in the londe of Pisidia, and wete in to the synagoge vpon the Sabbath daye, and sat downe. ¹⁵ But after the lecture of the lawe and of the prophetes, the rulers of the synagoge sent vnto them, sayenge: Good brethren, yf ye haue eny sermon to exorte the people, saye on. ¹⁶ Then stode Paul vp, and beckened with the hande (that they shulde holde their peace) and sayde:Ye men of Israel, and ye that feare God, herke to: ¹⁷ The God of this people chose oure fathers, and exalted the people, whan they were straungers in the lode of Egipte, and with a mightie arme broughte he them out of it. ¹⁸ And by the space of fortye yeares suffred he their maners in the wyldernesse, ¹⁹ and destroyed seuen nacions in the lande of Canaan, and parted their londe amonge them by lott. ²⁰ After that gaue he them iudges by the space of foure hundreth and fiftye yeares, vnto the prophet Samuel. ²¹ And after that they desyred a kynge, and God gaue vnto them Saul the sonne of Cis, a man of the trybe of BenIamin, fortye yeares longe. ²² And whan he had put him downe, he set vp Dauid to be their kynge, of whom he reported, sayenge: I haue founde Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after my hert, he shal fulfyll all my wyll. ²³ Of this mans sede hath God ( acordinge to the promesse) broughte forth vnto the people of Israel, ye Sauioure Iesus: ²⁴ whan Ihon had first preached before his comynge the baptyme of repentaunce vnto Israel.

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.

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.

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. ²⁷ For the inhabiters of Ierusalem, and their rulers, for somoch as they knewe him not, ner yet the voyces of the prophetes (which are red euery Sabbath) haue fulfylled them in condemnynge him. ²⁸ And though they founde no cause of death in him, yet desyred they Pilate to kyll him. ²⁹ And whan they had fulfylled all that was wrytten of him, they toke him downe from the tre, and layed him in a sepulcre. ³⁰ But on ye thirde daye God raysed him vp from the deed, ³¹ and he appeared many dayes vnto the, that wente vp with him from Galile vnto Ierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people. 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. 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. ⁴⁰ But whosoeuer beleueth on this man, is iustifyed. Bewarre therfore, that it come not vpon you, which is spoken in the prophetes: ⁴¹ Beholde ye despysers, and wonder at it, and perishe, for I do a worke in youre tyme, which ye shal not beleue, yf eny man tell it you. ⁴² Whan the Iewes were gone out of the synagoge, the Heythen besoughte them, yt they wolde speake ye worde vnto them betwene the Sabbath dayes. ⁴³ And wha the cogregacion of the synagoge was broken vp, many Iewes and Proselites yt serued God, folowed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exorted them, that they shulde contynue in the grace of God. ⁴⁴ On ye Sabbath folowinge, came almost the whole cite together, to heare the worde of God.

⁴⁴ On ye Sabbath folowinge, came almost the whole cite together, to heare the worde of God. ⁴⁵ But whan the Iewes sawe the people, they were full of indignacion, and spake agaynst that which was spoken of Paul, speakinge agaynst it, & blasphemynge. 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. ⁴⁷ For so hath the LORDE comaunded vs: I haue set the to be a lighte vnto ye Gentyles, yt thou be ye Saluacion vnto the ende of the earth. ⁴⁸ Whan the Gentyles herde that, they were glad, and praysed the worde of the LORDE, and beleued, eue as many as were ordeyned to euerlastinge life. ⁴⁹ And the worde of ye LORDE was spred abrode thorow out all the region. ⁵⁰ Howbeit the Iewes moued the deuoute and honorable wemen, and the chefe men of the citie, and raysed vp a persecucion agaynst Paul and Barnabas and expelled them out of their coastes. ⁵¹ But they shoke of the dust of their fete agaynst them, and came to Iconium. ⁵² And the disciples were fylled with ioye and with the holy goost.

¹⁶ It fortuned whan we wente to prayer, yt there met vs a damsel, which had a sprete of soythsayenge, and broughte hir master and mastresse greate vauntage with soyth sayenge: ¹⁷ ye same folowed Paul and vs, and cryed, and sayde: These men are the seruauntes of the most hye God, which shewe vs ye waye of saluacion.

¹⁷ ye same folowed Paul and vs, and cryed, and sayde: These men are the seruauntes of the most hye God, which shewe vs ye waye of saluacion. ¹⁸ This dyd she many dayes. But Paul was not content with it, and turned him aboute, and sayde vnto the sprete: I comaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ, that thou departe out of her. And he departed out at the same houre.

² And Paul (as his maner was) wete in vnto them, and vpon thre Sabbathes he spake vnto them of the scripture, opened it vnto the,

⁴ And he preached in the synagoge euery Sabbath daye, and exhorted the Iewes and the Grekes.

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.

¹⁸ Many of the also that beleued, came and cofessed, and shewed their workes.

²¹ And haue testifyed both vnto the Iewes & to the Grekes the repentaunce towarde God, and faith towarde oure LORDE Iesus.

²⁵ And now beholde, I knowe that ye shal se my face nomore, all ye, thorow whom I haue gone, and preached the kyngdome of God.

¹⁶ And now why tariest thou? Aryse, and be baptysed, and wasse awaye thy synnes, and call vpon the name of the LORDE.

⁵ We haue founde this man a pestilent felowe, and a sterer vp of sedicion amonge all the Iewes thorow out all the worlde, and a manteyner of the secte of the Nazaretes,

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.

¹ Pavl the seruaunte of Iesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, put aparte to preach the Gospell of God ² (which he promysed a fore by his prophetes in ye holy scriptures) 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,

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,

³² Which spared not his owne sonne, but hath geuen him for vs all: how shal he not with him geue vs all thinges also?

⁴ What so euer thinges are wrytte afore tyme, are wrytten for oure learnynge, that we thorow pacience and comforte off the scriptures, might haue hope.

²⁶ but now is opened, & shewed by the scriptures of ye prophetes, at the comaundemet of the euerlastinge God, to set vp ye obediece of the faith amonge all Heythen:

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?

¹¹ All these thinges happened vnto the for ensamples, but they are wrytte to warne vs, vpon whom the ende of ye worlde is come.

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.

² but cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestye, and walke not in craftines: nether corruppe we the worde of God but open the trueth, and reporte oure selues to euery mans conscyence in the sighte of God.

¹⁶ Therfore hence forth knowe we noman after ye flesh: and though we haue knowne Christ also after the flesh, yet knowe we him now so nomore.

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

¹⁰ yt it shulde be preached wha the tyme was full come, that all thinges shulde be gathered together by Christ, both the thinges which are in heauen, and also the thinges that are vpon earth,

¹⁷ and came and preached peace in the Gospell, vnto you which were afarre of, and to the that were nye.

¹⁴ For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ,

¹⁸ And praye allwayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacion in the sprete, and watch there vnto with all instaunce and supplicacion for all sayntes

⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was in Christ Iesu:

⁸ Yee I thynke all thinges but losse, for that excellent knowleges sake of Christ Iesu my LORDE: for whom I haue counted all thinge losse, and do iudge them but donge, that I mighte wynne Christ,

¹³ Which hath delyuered vs fro the power of darknesse, & translated vs in to the kyngdome of his deare sonne

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.

²⁵ the euell, one yt can with mekenesse enfourme them yt resist: yf God at eny tyme wyl geue them repentaunce for to knowe the trueth, ²⁶ and to turne agayne from the snare of the deuell, which are holden in preson of him at his will.

¹⁰ For there are many dishobedient, and talkers of vanite, and disceauers of myndes: namely they of the circucision,

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. 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:

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. ¹⁸ For in that he himselfe suffred and was tempted, he is able to sucker them that are tempted.

¹² For ye worde of God is quycke, and mightie in operacion, and sharper the eny two edged swerde, and entreth thorow, euen to the deuydinge of the soule & the sprete, and of ye ioyntes & the mary, and is a iudger of the thoughtes & intetes of the hert, ¹³ nether is there eny creature invisible in ye sighte of him. But all thinges are naked & bare vnto ye eyes of hi of who we speake.

¹⁵ For we haue not an hye prest which ca not haue copassion on or infirmities, but was in all poyntes tepted, like as we are, but without synne.

⁷ And in ye dayes of his fleshe, he offred vp prayers & supplicacions, wt stroge cryenge & teares vnto him yt was able to saue him fro death: & was herde also, because he had God in honoure.

¹⁹ Beleuest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The deuils also beleue and tremble.

¹⁴ Yf eny be deseased amonge you, let him call for the elders of the congregacion, & let the praye ouer him, and anoynte him with oyle in the name of the LORDE: ¹⁵ and ye prayer of faith shal saue the sicke, and the LORDE shal rayse him vp: and yf he haue comitted synnes, they shalbe forgeuen him.

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. ¹⁸ And this voyce herde we broughte downe fro heauen, whan we were with him on the holy mount.

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. 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.

⁸ Yf we saye that we haue no synne, we disceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs. ⁹ But yf we knowlege oure synnes, he is faithfull and iust to forgeue vs oure synnes, & to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes. ¹⁰ Yf we saye, we haue not synned, we make him a lyar, and his worde is not in vs.

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.

⁷ And wryte vnto ye angell of the cogregacio of Philadelphia: this sayth he yt is holy and true, which hath the keye of Dauid: which openyth and noman shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth.
