Matthew 12 Cross References - Coverdale

¹ At the same tyme wete Iesus thorow the corne vpon the Sabbath, and his disciples were hongrie, and beganne to plucke of the eares of the corne, and to eate. ² When ye Pharises sawe that, they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy disciples do that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath. ³ He sayde vnto them: haue ye not red what Dauid did, whan he was hongrie, & they also yt were with him? ⁴ How he entred in to the house of God, & ate the shew breds which were not laufull for him to eate, nether for the yt were with him, but onely for the prestes? ⁵ Or haue ye not red in the lawe how that the prestes in the temple breake the Sabbath, and yet are blamelesse? ⁶ But I saye vnto you: yt here is one greater then the temple. ⁷ But yf ye wyst what this were (I haue pleasure in mercy, and not in offeringe) ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes: ⁸ For the sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath. ⁹ And he departed thence, and wente in to their synagoge: ¹⁰ and beholde, there was a ma which had his hade dryed vp.

Therfore it is lefull to do good vpon the Sabbath. ¹³ Then sayde he to the ma: Stretch forth thine hande. And he stretched it forth: and it was whole agayne like vnto the other. ¹⁴ Then wente the Pharises out, and helde a councell agaynst him, how they might destroye him. ¹⁵ But wha Iesus knew therof, he departed thence, & moch people folowed him: and he healed them all, ¹⁶ and charged them, yt they shulde not make him knowne: ¹⁷ that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by Esay the prophet, which sayeth: ¹⁸ Beholde, this is my seruaunt, whom I haue chosen: and my beloued, in whom my soule delyteth: I wil put my sprete vpon hi, and he shal shewe iudgment vnto the Heithe. ¹⁹ He shal not stryue, ner crye, nether shal eny man heare his voyce in the stretes. ²⁰ A brosed rede shal he not breake, and flax that beginneth to burne shal he not quench, tyll he sende forth iudgment vnto victory. ²¹ And in his name shal the Heithen trust. 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? ²⁴ But whan the Pharises herde that, they sayde: He dryueth the deuyls out none other wyse, but thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuyls. ²⁵ Neuertheles Iesus knew their thoughtes, and sayde vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded within it self, shalbe desolate: and euery cite or house deuyded in it self, maye not contynue. ²⁶ So yf one Sathan cast out another, the is he at variaunce within him self: how maye then his kyngdome endure? ²⁷ But yf I cast out deuils thorow Beelzebub, thorow whom do youre childre cast them out? Therfore shal they be youre iudges. ²⁸ But yf I cast out the deuyls by the sprete of God then is the kyngdome of God come vpon you. ²⁹ Or how ca a man entre in to a stronge mans house, and violently take awaye his goodes, excepte he first bynde the stronge ma, & the spoyle his house? ³⁰ He that is not wt me, is agaynst me: & he yt gathereth not wt me, scatereth abrode. ³¹ Therfore I saye vnto you: All synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men, but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete shal not be forgeuen vnto men: ³² And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeue him. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy goost it shal not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, ner in the worlde to come. ³³ Either make the tre good and his frute good also, or els make the tre euel & his frute euel also. For the tre is knowne by the frute. ³⁴ O ye generacio of vypers, how can ye speake good, whan ye youre selues are euell? For of ye abundace of ye hert ye mouth speaketh. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his hert, bringeth forth good thinges: & an euel man out of his euell treasure, bringeth forth euell thinges. ³⁶ But I saye vnto you, that of euery ydell worde that me haue spoken, they shal geue accomptes at ye daye of iudgmet. ³⁷ Out of thy wordes thou shalt be iustified, & out of thy wordes thou shalt be codemned. ³⁸ Then answered certayne of the scrybes and Pharises, and sayde: Master, we wolde fayne se a toke of the. ³⁹ And he answered and saide vnto the: This euell and aduouterous generacion seketh a token: and there shal no token be geuen the, but the token of the prophete Ionas. ⁴⁰ For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the Whalles bely, so shal the sonne of ma be thre dayes and thre nightes in the hert of the earth. ⁴¹ The men of Ninyue shal ryse in the last iudgment with this generacion, and shal condemne it: for they dyd penaunce acordinge to ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde, here is one greater the Ionas. ⁴² The quene of the south shal aryse in the last iudgmet with this generacion, and shal condene it: for she came from the vttemost partes of the earth, to heare ye wyssdome of Salomon: And lo, here is one greater then Salomon. ⁴³ Whan the vncleane sprete is gone out of man, he walketh thorow dry places, sekinge rest, & fyndeth none. ⁴⁴ The saieth he: I wil turne agayne in to my house, fro whence I wete out.

Euen so shal it go wt this euell generacion. ⁴⁶ Whyle he yet talked vnto the people, beholde, his mother & his brethre stode without desyringe to speake wt him. ⁴⁷ Then sayde one vnto him: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stonde without, & wolde speake wt the. ⁴⁸ Neuertheles he answered & sayde vnto him that tolde him: Who is my mother? & who are my brethren? ⁴⁹ And he stretched forth his hande ouer his disciples, & sayde: Beholde my mother and my brethre. ⁵⁰ For who soeuer doth ye wyll of my father which is in heaue, the same is my brother, sister and mother.

¹² And the LORDE gaue Salomon wy?dome, acordynge as he had sayde vnto him, & there was peace betwene Hiram and Salomon, and they made a couenaunt both together.

¹ And whan kynge Salomons fame of the name of the LORDE came to the eares of the Quene of riche Arabia, she came to proue him with darke sentences. ² And she came to Ierusalem with a maruelous greate trayne, with camels which bare spyces, and moch golde, and precious stones And whan she came in to kynge Salomon, she spake vnto him all that was in hir hert. ³ And Salomon tolde her euerythinge, and the kynge had nothinge in secrete, but he tolde it her. ⁴ But whan the Quene of riche Arabia sawe all the wy?dome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylded, ⁵ and the meates of his table, and the dwellinges of his seruauntes, & the offyces of his ministers, and their garmentes, and his butlers and the burntofferynges which he offred in the house of the LORDE, she wondred exceadingly, and coulde no longer refrayne, ⁶ but sayde vnto the kynge: It is true that I haue herde in my londe of thy behauoure and of thy wy?dome. ⁷ And I wolde not beleue it, tyll I came and sawe it with myne eyes: and beholde, the halfe hath not bene tolde me. hou hast more wy?dome and good, the the fame is that I haue herde. ⁸ Happye are thy people and thy seruauntes, that allwaie stonde before the, and heare thy wy?dome. ⁹ Praysed be the LORDE thy God, which had soch a pleasure vnto the, that he set the vpon the seate of Israel: because he hath allwaye loued Israel, and hath set the to be kynge, that thou shuldest mantayne iustyce and equyte. ¹⁰ And she gaue the kynge syxe score hundreth weighte of golde, and very moch spyce, and precious stones. There came neuer so moch spyce thyther, as the Quene of riche Arabia gaue vnto kynge Salomon. ¹¹ And Hirams shippes, which caried golde out of Ophir, broughte maruelous moch costly tymber and precious stones from Ophir. ¹² And of that costly tymber the kynge caused to make pilers in the house of the LORDE, and in ye kinges house, and harpes and Psalteries for the Musicians. There came nomore soch costly tymber, nether was it sene vnto this daye. ¹³ And kynge Salomon gaue the quene of riche Arabia, all that she desyred and axed, besydes that which he gaue her of a frye hande. And she returned, and departed in to hir lande with hir seruauntes.

²⁴ And all the worlde desyred to se Salomon, that they mighte heare the wy?dome which God gaue him in his hert.

¹⁷ But Dauid wente forth vnto them, and answered and sayde vnto them: Yf ye come to me in peace, and to helpe me, my hert shal be with you.

Peace, peace be with the, peace be with thy helpers, for thy God helpeth the. Then Dauid receaued them, and made them captaynes ouer the men of warre.

¹⁸ For thinkest thou that God in very dede dwelleth amonge men vpon earth? Beholde, the heauen and ye heauens of all heauens maye not coteyne the: how shulde then this house do it, which I haue buylded?

¹ And whan the quene of rich Arabia herde the fame of Salomon, she came with a very greate tryne to Ierusalem (with Camels that bare spyces and golde, and precious stones) to proue Salomon with darke sentences. And whan she came vnto Salomon, she spake vnto him all that she had deuysed in hir mynde. ² And the kynge tolde her all hir matters, & Salomon had nothinge in secrete, but he tolde it her. ³ And whan the Quene of riche Arabia sawe the wy?dome of Salomon, and ye house that he had buylded, ⁴ the meates of his table, the dwellinges of his seruauntes, ye offices of his mynisters and their garmentes, & his butlers and their apparell, and his parler where he wente vp in to the house of the LORDE, she coulde no longer refrayne. ⁵ And she sayde vnto the kynge: It is true that I haue herde in my londe of thy behaueoure and of thy wy?dome: ⁶ howbeit I wolde not beleue their wordes, tyll I came my selfe, & sawe it with myne eyes: and beholde, the halfe of thy greate wy?dome hath not bene tolde me: there is more in ye then the fame that I haue herde. ⁷ Happye are thy men, and happie are these thy seruauntes, yt allwaye stonde before the, and heare thy wy?dome. ⁸ Praysed be the LORDE thy God, which had soch pleasure vnto the, that he hath set the vpon his seate to be kynge vnto the LORDE thy God. Because thy God loueth Israel, to set them vp for euer, therfore hath he ordeyned ye to be kynge ouer them, that thou shuldest mayntayne iustice and equyte. ⁹ And she gaue ye kynge an hundreth and twentye talentes of golde, & very moch spyce & precious stones. There were no mo soch spyces as these that the Quene of riche Arabia gaue vnto kynge Salomo. ¹⁰ And Hirams seruauntes and the seruauntes of Salomon, which broughte golde from Ophir, broughte costly tymber also & precious stones. ¹¹ And of the same costly tymber dyd Salomon cause to make stares in the house of the LORDE, and the kynges house, and harpes and psalteries for the Musicians. There was no soch tymber sene before in the londe of Iuda. ¹² But kynge Salomon gaue the Quene of riche Arabia all that she desyred and axed, & moch more then she had broughte vnto the kynge. And she returned, and departed into hir londe with hir seruauntes.

⁷ And the LORDE sayde vnto Sathan: From whence commest thou? Sathan answered the LORDE, and sayde: I haue gone aboute the lode, and walked thorow it.

³ And with Iobs thre fredes he was angrie also, because they had founde no reasonable answere to ouercome him.

¹³ As for soch as be fayned, dyssemblers and ypocrytes, they heape vp wrath for them selues: for they call not vpon him, though they be his presoners.

⁶ For he sayeth in his herte: Tush, I shal neuer be cast downe, there shal no harme happe vnto me. His mouth is full of cursynge, fraude and disceate: vnder his toge is trauayle & sorow. ⁷ He sytteth lurkynge in the gardens, that he maye pryuely murthur the innocent, his eyes are set vpo the poore.

²² So will I declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddest off the congregacion will I prayse the.

³⁰ Yee the rightuous shal possesse ye lode, & dwell therin for euer. ³¹ The mouth of the rightuous is exercised in wy?dome, & his toge talketh of iudgment.

¹⁵ Open my lippes (O LORDE) that my mouth maye shewe thy prayse.

¹⁷ The sacrifice of God is a troubled sprete, a broken and a cotrite hert (o God) shalt thou not despise.

² Where as the goodnesse of God endureth yet daylie. ³ Thy tonge ymagineth wickednesse, and with lyes it cutteth like a sharpe rasoure. ⁴ Thou louest vngraciousnesse more the good, to talke of lyes more then rightuousnesse. ⁵ Sela. Thou louest to speake all wordes yt maye do hurte, O thou false toge.

¹ The foolish bodies saye in their hertes: Tush, there is no God. Corrupte are they, and become abhominable in their wickednesses: there is not one, that doth good.

¹ O God, thou art my God: early wil I seke the.

⁹ My soule hangeth vpon the, thy right honde vpholdeth me.

³ Which whette their tuges like a swerde, & shute wt their venimous wordes like as wt arowes.

⁵ They haue deuysed myschefe, and commoned amonge them selues, how they maye laye snares: tush (saye they) who shall se them?

¹¹ I am the LORDE thy God, which brought the out of the lode of Egipte: ope thy mouth wyde, & I shal fyll it. ¹² But my people wolde not heare my voyce, & Israel wolde not obeye me.

¹⁹ The LORDE is oure defence, and the holy one of Israel is oure kynge.

²¹ They gather them together agaynst the soule of the rightuous, & condemne the innocent bloude.

¹ O synge vnto the LORDE a new songe, for he hath done maruelous thinges. ² With his owne right honde and with his holy arme hath he gotten the victory. ³ The LORDE hath declared his sauynge health, and his rightuousnes hath he openly shewed in the sight of the Heithe.

³¹ For he stondeth at the right hande of the poore, to saue him from soch as condempne his soule.

² Delyuer my soule (o LORDE) fro lyenge lippes, & fro a disceatfull toge. ³ What rewarde shalbe geuen or done vnto the, thou false tonge? ⁴ Euen mightie & sharpe arowes, wt hote burnige coales.

² Thou art aboute my path & aboute my bedd, & spyest out all my wayes.

² Which ymagin myschefe in their hertes, & stere vp strife all the daye longe. ³ They sharpen their tonges like a serpent, Adders poyson is vnder their lippes.

³ He healeth the contrite in herte, and byndeth vp their woundes.

²⁰ An innocent tonge is a noble treasure, but the herte of the vngodly is nothinge worth. ²¹ The lippes of the rightuous fede a whole multitude, but fooles shal dye in their owne foly.

⁶ The talkynge of the vngodly is, how they maye laye wayte for bloude, but the mouth of ye righteous wil delyuer them.

¹⁷ A iust man will tell the trueth, & shewethe thinge yt is right: but a false wytnesse disceaueth. ¹⁸ A slaunderous personne pricketh like a swerde, but a wyse mans tonge is wholsome. ¹⁹ A true mouth is euer constat, but a dyssemblinge toge is soone chaunged.

³ He that kepeth his mouth, kepeth his life: but who so speaketh vnaduysed, fyndeth harme.

⁴ A wholsome tonge is a tre of life, but he that abuseth it, hath a broken mynde.

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?

²⁸ A rightuous ma museth in his mynde how to do good, but ye mynde of the vngodly ymagineth, how he maye do harme.

²¹ Who so hath a wyse vnderstondinge, is called to councell: but he yt can speake fayre, getteth more riches. ²² Vnderstondinge is a well of life vnto him yt hath it, as for ye chastenynge of fooles, it is but foolishnesse. ²³ The herte of the wyse enfourmeth his mouth, and amendeth ye doctryne in his lyppes.

¹⁵ The LORDE hateth as well him yt iustifieth ye vngodly, as him yt condempneth the innocet.

¹¹ A worde spoken in due season, is like apples of golde in a syluer dyshe. ¹² The correccion of the wyse is to an obedient eare, a golden cheyne and a Iewel of golde.

¹⁴ For God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or euell.

⁹ Thou hast wouded my hert (o my sister, my spouse) thou hast wounded my hert, with one of thine eyes, and with one cheyne of thy neck. ¹⁰ O how fayre and louely are thy brestes, my sister, my spouse? Thy brestes are more pleasaunt then wyne, and the smell of thy oyntmentes passeth all spices.

¹² Thou art a well kepte garden (o my sister, my spouse) thou art a well kepte water sprynge, a sealed well.

¹ Come in to my garden o my sister, my spouse: I haue gathered my Myrre wt my spyce. I wil eate my hony and my hony cobe, I wil drynke my wyne & my mylk Eate o (ye frendes) drynke and be mery, o ye beloued. ² As I was a slepe, & my hert wakynge, I herde the voyce of my beloued, wha he knocked. Open to me (sayde he) o my sister, my loue, my doue, my derlinge: for my heade is full of dew, and ye lockes of my hayre are full of the night droppes.

¹¹ Why offre ye so many sacrifices vnto me? I am discontent for the brentoffringes of wethers, and with ye fatnesse offedbeastes. I haue no pleasure in the bloude of bullockes, lambes and gootes. ¹² When ye apeare before me, who requyreth you to treade within my porches? ¹³ Offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. I abhorre youre incense. I maye not awaye with youre newmoones, youre Sabbathes and solempne dayes. Youre fastinges are also in vayne. ¹⁴ I hate youre new holy dayes and fastinges, euen fro my very harte. They make me weery, I can not abyde them. ¹⁵ Though ye holde out yor hondes, yet turne I myne eyes from you. And though ye make many prayers, yet heare I nothinge at all, for youre hondes are full of bloude. ¹⁶ Wash you, make you clene, put awaye yor euell thoughtes out of my sight, cease from doinge of euell and violence. ¹⁷ Lerne to do right, applie youre selues to equyte, delyuer the oppressed, helpe the fatherlesse to his right, let the wydowes complaynte come before you. ¹⁸ Now go to (saieth the LORDE) we wil talke together. Is it not so? Though youre synnes be as read as scarlet, shal they not be whyter then snowe? And though they were like purple, shall they not be like whyte woll?

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.

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.

²¹ Manasses shal eate Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasses, and they both shal eate Iuda. After all this shal not the LORDES wrath ceasse, but yet shal his honde be stretched out still.

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:

¹⁰ Then shal the Gentiles enquere after the rote of Iesse (which shalbe set vp for a token vnto the Gentiles) for his dwellinge shalbe glorious.

² For thus saieth the LORDE: I wil stere vp the Egiptians one agaynst another amonge them selues, so that one shalbe euer agaynst his brother and neghboure, yee one cite agaynst another, and one kyngdome agaynst another. ³ And Egipte shalbe choked in hir self. Whe they axe councel at their goddes, at their Prophetes, at their soythsayers and witches: then will I bringe their councel to naught.

¹⁸ Then shal deaf men vnderstonde the wordes of the boke, and the eyes of the blynde shal se without eny cloude or darknes.

³ The eyes of the seinge shall not be dymme, and the eares of them that heare, shal take diliget hede. ⁴ The hert of the vnwise, shal attayne to knowlege, and the vnparfite tuge shal speake planely and distinctly.

⁶ But the churle wil be churlishly mynded, and his hert wil worke euell and playe the ypocrite, and ymagyn abhominacios agaynst God, to make the hungrie leane, and to withholde drinke from the thurstie:

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. ¹⁶ Then shal equyte dwel in the deserte, and rightuousnesse in a fruteful londe.

⁵ Then shal the eyes of the blinde be lightned, and the eares of the deaff opened. ⁶ Then shal the lame man leape as an herte, & the domme mas tuge shal geue thankes. In the wildernesse also there shal welles springe, and floudes of water in the deserte.

⁶ Then shal the lame man leape as an herte, & the domme mas tuge shal geue thankes. In the wildernesse also there shal welles springe, and floudes of water in the deserte. ⁷ The drie grounde shal turne to ryuers, and the thurstie to springes of water. Where as dragons dwelt afore, there shal growe swete floures and grene russhes.

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.

¹⁸ I bringe forth floudes in the hilles, & welles in the playne feldes. I turne ye wildernes to ryuers, and the drie londe to condytes of water.

²² Let the goddes come forth them selues, and shewe vs the thinges ye are past, what they be: let the declare the vnto vs, yt we maye take them to herte, and knowe them herafter. ²³ Ether, let the shewe vs thinges for to come, and tel vs what shalbe done herafter: so shal we knowe, that they be goddes. Shewe somthinge, ether good or bad, so wil we both knowlege ye same, & tel it out.

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.

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. ² He shal not be an outcryer, ner an hie mynded person. His voyce shall not be herde in ye stretes. ³ A brussedrede shal he not breake, & the smokinge flax shal he not quench: but faithfully & truly shal he geue iudgmet. ⁴ He shal nether be ouersene ner haistie, that he maye restore rightuousnesse vnto the earth: & the Getiles also shal kepe his lawes.

⁴ He shal nether be ouersene ner haistie, that he maye restore rightuousnesse vnto the earth: & the Getiles also shal kepe his lawes.

⁹ shewe you these new tidinges, and tel you them or they come, for olde thinges also are come to passe.

²⁶ But I set vp the purpose of my seruauntes, and fulfil the councel of my messaugers. I saye to Ierusale: turne agayne: And to the cities of Iuda, be ye buylded agayne: and I repayre their decayed places.

¹ Herken vnto me, ye Iles, and take hede ye people from farre: The LORDE hath called me fro my byrth, and made mecion of my name fro my mothers wobe: ² he hath made my mouth like a sharpe swerde, vnder ye shadowe of his honde hath he defended me, and hyd me in his quyuer, as a good arowe, ³ and sayde vnto me: Thou art my seruaunt Israel, I wilbe honoured in the.

⁵ And now saieth the LORDE (eue he that fashioned me fro my mothers wombe to be his seruaute, that I maye bringe Iacob agayne vnto him: howbeit, Israel will not be gathered vnto hi agayne. In whose sight I am greate, which also is my LORDE, my God and my stregth) 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.

²⁴ Who spoyleth the giaunte of his pray? or who taketh the presoner from the mightie?

¹³ Beholde, my seruaunt shal deale wysely, therfore shal he be magnified, exalted & greatly honoured.

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. ¹² Therfore wil I geue him the multitude for his parte, & he shal deuyde the stroge spoyle because he shal geue ouer his soule to death, & shalbe rekened amonge the transgressours, which neuertheles shal take awaye ye synnes of the multitude, and make intercession for the my?doers.

¹⁷ but all the weapens yt are made agaynst the, shal not prospere. And as for all tunges, yt shal resiste the in iudgmet, thou shalt ouercome the, & codemne them. This is the heretage of the LORDES seruauntes, & the rightuousnes that they shal haue of me, saieth the LORDE.

⁷ Let the vngodly man forsake his wayes, ad the vnrightuous his ymaginacios, & turne agayne vnto the LORDE, so shal he be merciful vnto him: and to oure God, for he is redy to forgeue.

³ Come hither therfore ye charmers children, ye sonnes of the aduoutrer & the whore:

¹⁵ For thus saieth the hie and excellet, euen he that dwelleth in euerlastingnesse, whose name is the holyone: I dwel hie aboue and in the sanctuary, & with him also, yt is of a cotrite and huble sprete: yt I maye heale a troubled mynde, and a cotrite herte.

¹³ Yee yf thou turne thy fete from the Sabbath, so that thou do not the thinge which pleaseth thyself in my holy daye: then shalt thou be called vnto the pleasaunt, holy & glorious Sabbath of the LORDE, where thou shalt be in honor: so yt thou do not after thine owne ymaginacion, nether seke thine owne wil, ner speake thine owne wordes.

⁴ No man regardeth righteousnes, & no ma iudgeth truly Euery man hopeth in vayne thinges, and ymagineth disceate, coceaueth weerynesse, & bringeth forth euell.

¹³ Namely, transgresse & dyssemble agaynst ye LORDE, & fall awaye fro or God: vsinge presuptuous & traytorous ymaginacions, & castinge false matters in or hertes. ¹⁴ And therfore is equyte gone asyde, & righteousnes stodeth farre of: treuth is fallen downe in the strete, and the thinge that is playne and open, maye not be shewed.

²⁰ But vnto Sion there shal come a redemer, and vnto them in Iacob that turne from wickednesse, saieth the LORDE. ²¹ I will make this conuenaunt with them (sayeth ye LORDE): My sprete that is come vpon the, & the wordes which I haue put in yi mouth, shal neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of ye mouth of thy childre, no ner out of ye mouth of thy childers childre, from this tyme forth for euer more.

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. ³ The Gentiles shal come to thy light, & kynges to the brightnes yt springeth forth vpo ye.

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.

² Then shal the Getiles se thy rightuousnesse & all kinges thy glory. Thou shalt be named with a new name, which the mouth of ye LORDE shal shewe.

¹¹ And the LORDE sayde vnto me: The bacslyder Israel is more rightuous, the the vnfaithfull Iuda:

² Stonde vnder the gates of the LORDES house, and crie out these wordes there, with a loude voyce, and saye: Heare the worde of the LORDE, all ye of Iuda, that go in at this dore, to honoure the LORDE. ³ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes the God of Israel. Amende youre wayes and youre councels, and I wil let you dwell in this place. ⁴ Trust not in false lyenge wordes, sayenge: here is the temple of the LORDE, here is the temple of the LORDE, here is the temple of the LORDE. ⁵ For yf ye will amende youre waies and councels, yf ye wil iudge right betwixte a man and his neghboure:

¹⁹ O LORDE, my strength, my power, and refuge in tyme off trouble. The Gentiles shall come vnto the from the endes off the worlde, and saye: Verely oure fathers haue cleued vnto lies, their Idols are but vayne and vnprofitable.

¹⁰ Euen I the LORDE ripe out the grounde off the hert, ad search the reynes and rewarde euery ma acordinge to his wayes, and acordinge to the frute off his councels.

³¹ For the LORDE wil not forsake for euer. ³² But though he do cast of, yet (acordinge to ye multitude of his mercies) he receaueth to grace agayne. ³³ For he doth not plage, & cast out the children of men from his herte. ³⁴ To treade all the presoners of the earth vnder his fete.

⁵¹ Nether hath Samaria done half of thy synnes, yee thou hast exceaded them in wickednesse: In so moch that in comparison of all the abhominacions which thou hast done, thou hast made thy sisters good women. ⁵² Therfore beare thine owne shame, thou that in synne hast ouercome thy sisters: seinge thou hast done so abhominably, that they were better then thou. Be ashamed therfore (I saye) and beare thine owne confucion, thou that makest thy sisters good women.

³¹ Cast awaye fro you all youre vngodlynesse, that ye haue done: make you new hertes and a new sprete. Wherfore wil ye dye, O ye house of Israel?

²¹ Tell the house of Israel, thus saieth ye LODDE God: beholde, I wil suspende my Sanctuary: eue the glory of youre power, the pleasure of yor eyes, and the thinge that ye loue: youre sonnes and doughters whom ye haue left, shal fall thorow the swerde.

¹¹ Tell them: As truly as I lyue (saieth the LORDE God) I haue no pleasure in the death off the wicked, but moch rather that the wicked turne from his waye and lyue. Turne you, turne you from yor vngodly wayes, o ye off the house off Israel. Oh, wherfore will ye dye?

¹⁶ Soch as be lost, will I seke: soch as go astraye, wil I brynge agayne: soch as be wouded, will I bynde vp: soch as be weake, will I make stronge: soch as be fat and well lykinge, those will I preserue, and fede them with ye thinge that is laufull.

⁸ Then sayde he vnto me: This water that floweth out towarde the east, and runneth downe in to the playne felde, commeth in to the see: and from the see it runneth out, & maketh the waters whole. ⁹ Yee all that liue and moue, where vnto this ryuer commeth, shal recouer. And where this water cometh, there shalbe many fysh. For all that commeth to this water, shall be lusty and whole. 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. ¹¹ As for his claye and pyttes, they shal not be whole, for why, it shalbe occupide for salt. ¹² By this ryuer vpon both the sydes of the shore, there shall growe all maner of frutefull trees, whose leaues shall not fall of, nether shal their frute perish: but euer be rype at their monethes, for their water runneth out of the Sanctuary. His frute is good to eate, and his leaf profitable for medycine.

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.

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.

¹¹ Then shal the children of Iuda and the childre of Israel be gathered together agayne, & chose them selues one heade, and then departe out of the londe: for greate shalbe the daye of Iesrael.

⁶ For I haue pleasure in louynge kyndnesse, and not in offerynge: Yee in the knowlege of God, more then in burntsacrifice.

⁶ They with the ymaginacion of their herte are like an oue, their slepe is all ye night like the slepe of a baker, in the mornynge is he as hote as the flame of fyre:

¹³ For lo, he maketh the mountaynes, he ordeneth the wynde, he sheweth man what he is aboute to do: he maketh the mornynge and the darcknesse, he treadeth vpo the hye places off the earth: ye LORDE God of hoostes is his name.

¹⁵ Hate the euell, and loue the good: set vp right agayne in the porte: & (no doute) the LORDE God of hoostes shall be mercifull vnto the remnaunt of Ioseph.

¹¹ Beholde, the tyme commeth (sayeth the LORDE God) yt I shal sende an huger in to ye earth: not the hunger of bred, ner the thyrst of water: but an hunger to heare the worde off the LORDE: ¹² so that they shal go from the one see to the other, yee from ye north vnto ye east, runnynge aboute to seke the worde of ye LORDE, and shal not fynde it. ¹³ In that tyme, shal the fayre virgins and the yonge men perish for thyrst,

² Aryse, and get the to Niniue that greate cite: and preach vnto them, how yt their wickednesse is come vp before me.

¹⁷ Bvt the LORDE prepared a greate fyshe, to swalow vp Ionas. So was Ionas in the bely of the fysh, thre dayes and thre nightes.

² and sayed: In my trouble I called vnto ye LORDE, and he herde me: out off the bely off hell I cried, and thou herdest my voyce. ³ Thou haddest cast me downe depe in ye middest off the see, and the floude compased me aboute: yee all thy wawes and rowles of water went ouer me, ⁴ I thought that I had bene cast awaye out of thy sight: but I wil yet agayne loke towarde thy holy temple. ⁵ The waters compased me, euen to the very soule: the depe laye aboute me, and the wedes were wrapte aboute myne heade. ⁶ I wente downe to the botome of the hilles, & was barred in with earth for euer. But thou (o LORDE my God) hast brought vp my lyfe agayne out of corrupcion.

⁵ And the people of Niniue beleued God, and proclamed fastinge, and arayed them selues in sack cloth, as well the greate as the small of them. ⁶ And the tydinges came vnto ye kinge of Niniue, which arose out off his seate, and dyd his apparell off, and put on sack cloth, and sate him downe in asshes. ⁷ And it was cried and commaunded in Niniue, by the auctorite of the kige and his lordes, sayenge: se that nether man or beest, oxe or shepe taist ought at all: and that they nether fede ner drincke water: ⁸ but put on sack cloth both man and beest, and crye mightely vnto God: yee se that euery man turne fro his euell waye, and from the wickednesse, yt he hath in honde. ⁹ Who can tell? God maye turne, and repete, and cease from his fearce wrath, that we perish not. ¹⁰ And when God sawe their workes, how they turned from their wicked wayes: he repented on the euell, which he sayde he wolde do vnto them, and dyd it not.

⁶ What acceptable thynge shal I offre vnto the LORDE? shall I bowe mykne to the hye God? Shal I come before him wt brentofferinges, and with calues of a yeare olde? ⁷ Hath the LORDE a pleasure in many thousand rammes, or innumerable streames of oyle? Or shal I geue my firstborne for myne offences, and the frute of my body for the synne of my soule? ⁸ I wil shewe the (O ma) what is good, and what the LORDE requyreth off the: Namely, to do right, to haue pleasure in louynge kyndnesse, to be lowly, and to walke with thy God:

⁷ Yee I will moue all Heithen, & the comforte of all Heithen shall come, & so wil I fyll this house with honoure, saieth the LORDE of hoostes. ⁸ The syluer is myne, & the golde is myne, saieth the LORDE of hoostes. ⁹ Thus ye glory of the last house shalbe greater the the first, saieth the LORDE of hoostes: & in this place wil I geue peace, saieth the LORDE of hoostes.

⁸ Heare o Iesua thou hye prest, thou & thy frendes that dwell before the, for they are woderous people. Beholde, I will bringe forth the braunch of my seruaunt:

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.

¹⁷ O Idols shepherde, that leaueth the flocke. The swerde shal come vpon his arme and vpon his right eye. His arme shalbe clene dried vp, and his right eye shalbe sore blynded.

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.

¹⁸ The byrth of Christ was on thys wyse: When his mother Mary was maried to Ioseph before they came together, she was foude with chylde by ye holy goost,

¹¹ and went into the house, and found the chylde with Mary his mother, and kneled downe and worshipped hym, & opened ther treasures, and offred vnto hym gyftes: gold, franckynsence and myrre.

¹³ When they were departed: beholde, the angell of the LORDE appered to Ioseph in a dreame, sayinge: aryse, and take the chylde and his mother, and flye into Egypte, and abyde there tyll I brynge the worde. For Herod wyl seke the chylde to destroye hym. ¹⁴ The he arose, and toke the chylde and his mother by night, and departed into Egypte,

²⁰ sayinge: arise and take the chylde and his mother, & go into ye londe of Israel. For they are deed, which sought the chyldes life.

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. ¹⁰ Euen now is the axe put vnto ye rote of the trees: therfore euery tre which bringeth not forth good frute, shalbe hewe downe, and cast into the fyre.

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.

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.

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.

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.

²⁴ No ma can serue two masters. For ether he shall hate the one and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other: Ye can not serue God and mammon.

²⁶ Beholde the foules of ye ayer: for they sowe not, nether reepe, nor yet cary in to the barnes: and yet youre heauely father fedeth the. Are ye not moch better the they?

³³ Seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heauen and the righteousnes therof, so shal all these thynges be ministred vnto you.

¹⁶ Ye shall knowe them by their frutes. Do men gather grapes of thornes? or figges of thistles? ¹⁷ Euen so euery good tree bryngeth forth good frute. But a corrupte tree, bryngeth forth euyl frute, ¹⁸ A good tree can not bryng forth bad frute: nother can a rotten tre bringe forth good frute. ¹⁹ Euery tre that bryngeth not forth good frute, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fyre. ²⁰ Wherfore by their frutes ye shall knowe them.

²⁰ Wherfore by their frutes ye shall knowe them. ²¹ Not all they that saye vnto me, LORDE LORDE, shall enter in to the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doth the will of my father which ys in heauen.

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.

¹⁷ that ye thinge might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esay the Prophet, sayinge: He toke on him oure infirmities, and bare oure sickneses.

²⁰ And Iesus sayde vnto him: the foxes haue holes, and the byrddes of the ayer hane nestes, but ye sonne of ma hath not wheron to rest his heede.

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?

⁴ But when Iesus sawe their thoughtes, he sayde: wherfore thinke ye euill in youre hertes?.

⁶ But that ye maye knowe, that the sonne of man hath power to forgeue sinnes in earth, the sayde he vnto the sicke of ye palsye: arise, take vp thy bed, and go home.

¹³ Go and learne, what that meaneth: I haue pleasure in mercy, and not in offerynge. For I am not come to call the righteous, but ye synners to repentaunce,

²⁷ And as Iesus departed thence, two blynde me folowed hym, cryinge and sayinge: O thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy vpon vs.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Iesus charged the, sayinge: Se that no ma knowe of it.

³² Whan these were gone out, beholde, they brought to hym a domme man possessed of a deuyll. ³³ And whan the deuyl was cast out, the domme spake: And the people merueled sayinge: it was neuer so sene in Israel.

³³ And whan the deuyl was cast out, the domme spake: And the people merueled sayinge: it was neuer so sene in Israel. ³⁴ But ye Pharises sayde: he casteth out deuyls, thorow the chefe deuyll.

³⁴ But ye Pharises sayde: he casteth out deuyls, thorow the chefe deuyll.

²³ When they persecute you in one cite, flye in to another. I tell you for a treuth, ye shall not fynysshe all the cities of Israel, tyll the sonne of man come.

³¹ Feare ye not therfore: ye are of more value then many sparowes.

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.

¹⁹ The sonne of man came eatinge and drynkinge, & they saye: lo what a glutton and wyne bebber this ma is, and a companyon of publicans & synners? And wissdome is iustified of hir children.

²⁸ Come vnto me all ye that laboure and are laden, and I wil ease you. ²⁹ Take my yock vpon you, and lerne of me, for I am meke and lowlye of hert, & ye shal fynde rest vnto youre soules:

² When ye Pharises sawe that, they sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy disciples do that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath.

⁵ Or haue ye not red in the lawe how that the prestes in the temple breake the Sabbath, and yet are blamelesse? ⁶ But I saye vnto you: yt here is one greater then the temple.

¹⁰ and beholde, there was a ma which had his hade dryed vp. And they axed him, sayenge: Is it laufull to heale, vpon the Sabbath? because they might accuse him.

¹⁸ Beholde, this is my seruaunt, whom I haue chosen: and my beloued, in whom my soule delyteth: I wil put my sprete vpon hi, and he shal shewe iudgment vnto the Heithe.

²⁴ But whan the Pharises herde that, they sayde: He dryueth the deuyls out none other wyse, but thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuyls.

²⁹ Or how ca a man entre in to a stronge mans house, and violently take awaye his goodes, excepte he first bynde the stronge ma, & the spoyle his house?

³¹ Therfore I saye vnto you: All synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men, but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete shal not be forgeuen vnto men:

³¹ Therfore I saye vnto you: All synne and blasphemy shalbe forgeuen vnto men, but the blasphemy agaynst the sprete shal not be forgeuen vnto men: ³² And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeue him. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy goost it shal not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, ner in the worlde to come.

³⁴ O ye generacio of vypers, how can ye speake good, whan ye youre selues are euell? For of ye abundace of ye hert ye mouth speaketh. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his hert, bringeth forth good thinges: & an euel man out of his euell treasure, bringeth forth euell thinges.

³⁹ And he answered and saide vnto the: This euell and aduouterous generacion seketh a token: and there shal no token be geuen the, but the token of the prophete Ionas.

⁴¹ The men of Ninyue shal ryse in the last iudgment with this generacion, and shal condemne it: for they dyd penaunce acordinge to ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde, here is one greater the Ionas.

⁴¹ The men of Ninyue shal ryse in the last iudgment with this generacion, and shal condemne it: for they dyd penaunce acordinge to ye preachinge of Ionas. And beholde, here is one greater the Ionas. ⁴² The quene of the south shal aryse in the last iudgmet with this generacion, and shal condene it: for she came from the vttemost partes of the earth, to heare ye wyssdome of Salomon: And lo, here is one greater then Salomon.

⁴² The quene of the south shal aryse in the last iudgmet with this generacion, and shal condene it: for she came from the vttemost partes of the earth, to heare ye wyssdome of Salomon: And lo, here is one greater then Salomon.

⁴⁵ Then goeth he his waye, & taketh vnto him seuen other spretes worse then him self: and whan they are entred in, they dwell there: And the ende of that man is worse then the begynnynge. Euen so shal it go wt this euell generacion.

²⁰ But he yt is sowne in the stonye grounde, is this: wha one heareth the worde, & anone with ioye receaueth it: ²¹ neuertheles he hath no rote i him, but endureth for a season: wha trouble & persecucion aryseth because of the worde, immediatly he his offended. ²² As for him that is sowne amonge ye thornes, this is he: Wha one heareth the worde, & the carefulnes of this worlde, & the disceatfulnes of riches choke the worde, & so he becometh vnfrutefull.

³⁵ yt the thinge might be fulfilled, which was spoke by ye prophet, sayenge: I wil open my mouth in parables, and wil speake out the secretes from the begynnynge of the worlde.

⁵² Then sayde he vnto the: Therfore euery scribe taught vnto ye kingdome of heauen, is like an houssholder, which bryngeth out of his treasure thinges new and olde.

⁵⁵ Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre Iames & Ioses, and Symon and Iude?

¹⁸ But the thinge that proceadeth out of the mouth, cometh fro ye hert, & that defyleth ye ma.

²² And beholde, a woma of Canaan wete out of ye same coastes, & cried after him, sayege: O LORDE, thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy vpon me. My doughter is sore vexed wt a deuell.

³⁰ And there came vnto him moch people, hauinge with them, lame, blynde, dome, crepell, and other many, and cast them downe at Iesus fete. And he healed the, 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.

¹ Then came the Pharises & Saduces vnto him, & tepted him, requyringe him to shewe the a toke from heaue. ² But he answered, & sayde: At eue ye saye: It wil be fayre wedder. for ye sskye is reed. ³ And in ye mornynge, ye saye: It wil be foule wedder to daye, for the sskye is reed, & gloometh. O ye ypocrytes, ye can discerne the fashion of ye sskye: can ye not the discerne the tokes of these tymes also? ⁴ This euell and aduouterous generacio seketh a toke, & there shal no toke be geue the, but the toke of ye prophet Ionas. So he left the, and departed.

⁴ This euell and aduouterous generacio seketh a toke, & there shal no toke be geue the, but the toke of ye prophet Ionas. So he left the, and departed.

²¹ From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to shew vnto his disciples, how that he must go vnto Ierusale, and suffre many thinges of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and of the scrybes, and be put to death, and ryse againe the thirde daye.

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.

⁹ And wha they came downe fro ye mountayne, Iesus charged them, and sayde: Tell no man of this vision, tyll the sonne of man be rysen agayne from ye deed.

¹⁷ Iesus answered, and sayde: O thou faithles and frowarde generacion, how longe shal I be with you? How longe shal I suffre you? Bringe him hither to me.

²³ and they shal kyll him, and the thirde daye shal he aryse agayne. And they were very sory.

² & moch people folowed him, and he healed them there. ³ Then came vnto him the Pharises & tepted him, & sayde vnto him: Is it laufull for a man to put awaye his wife for eny maner of cause? ⁴ He answered & sayde vnto the: Haue ye not red, how yt he which made (man) at the begynnynge, made the ma & woma,

⁴ But all this was done, that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, sayenge:

⁹ As for the people that wente before and that came after, they cryed and sayde: Hosianna vnto the sonne of Dauid, Blessed be he that commeth in the name of the LORDE, Hosianna in the height.

¹⁶ and sayde vnto him: Hearest thou what these saye? Iesus sayde vnto them: Yee. Haue ye neuer red: Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklinges thou hast ordeyned prayse?

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.

³⁸ But whe the hussbandme sawe the sonne, they sayde amonge the selues: This is the Heyre, come, let us kyl hym, and take his inheritauce vnto oure selues. ³⁹ And they caught him, and thrust him out of the vynyarde, & slew him. ⁴⁰ Now whe the lorde of the vynyarde commeth, what wyl he do wt those hussbandmen? ⁴¹ They sayde vnto him: He wyl cruelly destroye those euell personnes, & let out his vyniarde vnto other hussbadmen, which shal delyuer him the frute at tymes conuenyent. ⁴² Iesus sayde vnto the: Dyd ye neuer rede in the scriptures: The same stone which the buylders refused, is become the heade stone in the corner? This was the LORDES doynge, & it is maruelous i oure eyes ⁴³ Therfore I saie vnto you: The kingdome of God shalbe take fro you, & shalbe geue vnto the Heithe, which shal brynge forth ye frutes of it.

⁴³ Therfore I saie vnto you: The kingdome of God shalbe take fro you, & shalbe geue vnto the Heithe, which shal brynge forth ye frutes of it. ⁴⁴ And who so falleth vpo this stone, shalbe broke in peces: & loke vpo whom it falleth, it shal grynde him to poulder.

¹⁷ Tell us therfore, how thinkest thou? Is it laufulll to geue tribute vnto the Emperoure, or not? ¹⁸ Now wha Iesus perceaued their wickednes, he sayde: O ye ypocrites, why tepte ye me?

²⁹ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Ye erre, and vnderstode not the scriptures, ner the power of God.

³¹ As touchinge the resurreccio of the deed, haue ye notred, what is spoken vnto you of God, which sayeth:

⁴² and sayde: What thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: Dauids. ⁴³ He sayde vnto them: How then doth Dauid in sprete, call him LORDE, sayenge:

¹⁵ Wo vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, which compasse see and lode to make one Proselyte: and whan he is become one, ye make of him a childe of hell, two folde more then ye youre selues are.

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.

²⁴ O ye blynde gydes, which strayne out a gnat, but swalowe vp a Camell.

²⁶ Thou blynde Pharise, clense first the in syde of the cuppe and platter, that the out syde maye be cleane also.

³² Go to, fulfyll ye also the measure of youre fathers. ³³ O ye serpentes, O ye generacion of vypers, how wyl ye escape the damnacion of Hell?

³³ O ye serpentes, O ye generacion of vypers, how wyl ye escape the damnacion of Hell? ³⁴ Therfore beholde, I sende vnto you prophetes and wysemen, and scrybes, and some of them shal ye kyll and crucifye, and some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, and persecute them from cite to cite: ³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude which hath bene shed vpon ye earth, from the bloude of righteous Abel, vnto ye bloude of Zachary ye sonne of Barachias, whom ye slew betwene the temple and the altare. ³⁶ Verely I saye vnto you: All these thinges shal light vpo this generacion.

³⁶ Verely I saye vnto you: All these thinges shal light vpo this generacion. ³⁷ O Ierusalem Ierusalem, thou that slayest the prophetes, and stonest them that are sent vnto the: How oft wolde I haue gathered thy children together, euen as the henne gathereth hir chekens vnder hir wynges, and ye wolde not? ³⁸ Beholde, youre habitacion shalbe left vnto you desolate. ³⁹ For I saye vnto you: Ye shal not se me hence forth, tyll ye saye: Blessed be he, that commeth in the name of the LORDE.

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

⁴⁵ The shal he answere them, and saye: Verely I saye vnto you: Loke what ye haue not done vnto one of the leest of these, the same haue ye not done vnto me.

⁴ and helde a councell, how they might take Iesus by disceate, and kyll him.

¹ Vpon the morow, all the hye prestes and elders of the people helde a councell agaynst Iesus, that they might put him to death,

⁴⁰ and sayde: Thou that breakest downe the teple of God, and buyldest it in thre dayes, helpe thyself. Yf thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse.

⁶³ and saide: Syr, we haue called to remembraunce, that this disceauer sayde whyle he was yet alyue: After thre dayes I wyl ryse agayne. ⁶⁴ Comaunde therfore that the sepulcre be kepte vnto the thirde daye, lest peraduenture his disciples come, and steale him awaye, and saye vnto the people: He is rysen from the deed, and so shal the last errour be worse the the first.

⁷ and go youre waye soone, and tell his disciples, that he is rysen from the deed. And beholde, he wyl go before you in to Galile, there shal ye se him. Lo, I haue tolde you.

¹⁰ The sayde Iesus vnto them: Be not afrayed: go youre waye and tell my brethren, that they go in to Galile, there shal they se me.

¹¹ And there came a voyce from heaue: Thou art my deare sonne, in whom I delyte.

¹⁵ and sayde: the tyme is fulfylled, and the kyngdome of God is at hande: Amende youre selues, and beleue the gospell.

⁸ And immediatly Iesus knew in his sprete, that they thought so in the selues, and saide vnto them: Why thynke ye soch thinges in youre hertes?

²¹ No man soweth a pece of new cloth vnto an olde garment, for els he taketh awaye the new pece from the olde, and so is the ret worse.

²³ And it chaunsed that vpon ye Sabbath he wente thorow the corne feldes, and his disciples begane to make a waye thorow, and to plucke the eares of ye corne. ²⁴ And the Pharises sayde vnto him: Beholde, what thy disciples do, which is not laufull vpo the Sabbath. ²⁵ And he sayde vnto the: Haue ye neuer red what Dauid dyd, wha he had nede, and was anhongred, both he and they that were wt him:

²⁵ And he sayde vnto the: Haue ye neuer red what Dauid dyd, wha he had nede, and was anhongred, both he and they that were wt him: ²⁶ how he wente in to the house of God in the tyme of Abiathar the hye prest, and ate the shewbreds (which was laufull for no man to eate, but for the prestes) and he gaue them vnto him, and to them that were with him?

²⁶ how he wente in to the house of God in the tyme of Abiathar the hye prest, and ate the shewbreds (which was laufull for no man to eate, but for the prestes) and he gaue them vnto him, and to them that were with him? ²⁷ nd he sayde vnto them: The Sabbath was made for mans sake, and not man for the Sabbathes sake. ²⁸ Therfore is the sonne of man LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath.

²⁸ Therfore is the sonne of man LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath.

¹ He wente agayne also in to the synagoge, and there was there a ma that had a wythred hande. ² And they marked him, whether he wolde heale him on the Sabbath, that they might accuse him.

² And they marked him, whether he wolde heale him on the Sabbath, that they might accuse him. ³ And he sayde vnto ye ma with the wythred hade: Steppe forth here.

⁴ And he sayde vnto the: Is it laufull to do good on the Sabbath? Or is it laufull to do euell? to saue life, or to kyll? But they helde their tonge. ⁵ And he loked rounde aboute vpon them with wrath, and was sory for the harde hertes of the, and sayde vnto the man: Stretch out thine hande. And he stretched it out.

⁵ And he loked rounde aboute vpon them with wrath, and was sory for the harde hertes of the, and sayde vnto the man: Stretch out thine hande. And he stretched it out.

⁶ And the Pharises wete out, and straight waye they helde a councell with Herodes officers agaynst him, how they might destroye him. ⁷ But Iesus departed awaye with his disciples vnto the see. And there folowed him moch people out of Galile, and fro Iewry, ⁸ and from Ierusale, and out of Idumea, and from beyonde Iordan, and they that dwelt aboute Tyre and Sydon, a greate multitude which had herde of his noble actes, and came vnto him. ⁹ And he spake vnto his disciples yt they shulde kepe a shyppe for him because of the people, lest they shulde thrunge him: ¹⁰ for he healed many of them, in so moch, that all they which were plaged,preased vpon him, that they might touch him. ¹¹ And whan the foule spretes sawe him, they fell downe before him, and cried, and sayde: Thou art the sonne of God.

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.

²² But the scrybes that were come downe from Ierusalem, sayde: He hath Belzebub, and thorow the chefe deuell casteth he out deuyls. ²³ And he called them together, and spake vnto them in symilitudes:How can one Sathan dryue out another? ²⁴ And yf a realme be deuyded in it self, how can it endure? ²⁵ And yf a house be deuyded agaynst it self, it can not contynue. ²⁶ Yf Sathan now ryse agaynst him self, and be at variaunce with him self, he can not endure, but is at an ende. ²⁷ No man can entre in to a stronge mans house, and take awaye his goodes, excepte he first bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house.

²⁷ No man can entre in to a stronge mans house, and take awaye his goodes, excepte he first bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house. ²⁸ Verely I saye vnto you: All synnes shalbe forgeuen the children of men, and the blasphemy also wherwith they blaspheme. ²⁹ But who so blasphemeth the holy goost, hath neuer forgeuenes, but is giltie of the euerlastinge iudgment.

²⁹ But who so blasphemeth the holy goost, hath neuer forgeuenes, but is giltie of the euerlastinge iudgment. ³⁰ For they sayde: he hath an vncleane sprete. ³¹ And there came his mother and his brethre, and stode without, and sente vnto him, and called him. ³² And the people sat aboute him, and sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethre axe after the without.

³² And the people sat aboute him, and sayde vnto him: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethre axe after the without. ³³ And he answered, and sayde: Who is my mother and my brethren?

³⁵ For who so euer doth the will of God the same is my brother, and my sister and my mother.

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. ⁸ Neuertheles he sayde vnto him: Go out of the man thou foule sprete. ⁹ And he axed him: What is thy name? And he answered and sayde: My name is Legion, for there be many of vs.

⁹ And he axed him: What is thy name? And he answered and sayde: My name is Legion, for there be many of vs. ¹⁰ And he prayed him instantly, that he wolde not sende them awaye out of that countre. ¹¹ And euen there in the mountaynes there was a greate heerd of swyne fedynge, ¹² and all the deuyls praied him, and sayde: Let vs departe in to the swyne. ¹³ And anone Iesus gaue them leue. Then the foule spretes wente out, and intred in to the swyne. And the heerd of swyne, ranne heedlinges in to ye see with a storme.

³ Is not this the Carpenter the sonne of Mary, and the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iude and Symon? Are not his sisters here with vs also? And they were offended at him.

⁵⁶ And whither so euer he entred in to townes, cities or vyllagies, there layed they the sicke in the market place, and prayed him, that they might but touch the hemme of his garment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.

³⁵ And immediatly his eares were opened, and the bonde of his toge was lowsed, and he spake right. ³⁶ And he charged them, that they shulde tell noman.But the more he forbad them, the more they published it,

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.

¹¹ And the Pharises wente out, and begane to dispute with him, and tempted him, and desyred a token of him from heaue. ¹² And he sighed in his sprete, and sayde: Why doth this generacion seke a token? Verely I saye vnto you: There shal no toke be geue vnto this generacion.

³⁸ Who so euer is ashamed of me and of my wordes amonge this aduouterous and synfull generacion, of him shal the sonne of man also be ashamed, whan he commeth in the glory of his father with the holy angels.

⁴ And there appeared vnto the Elias with Moses, and they talked with Iesus. ⁵ And Peter answered, and sayde vnto Iesus: Rabbi, here is good beynge for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles: one for the, one for Moses, and one for Elias. ⁶ For he knewe not what he sayde, and they were very fearfull. ⁷ And there was a cloude, which ouershadowed the.

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.

¹⁷ And one of the people answered, and sayde: Master, I haue brought vnto the my sonne, which hath a domme sprete: ¹⁸ and whan so euer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnassheth with the teth, and pyneth awaye, & I haue spoken to thy disciples that they shulde cast him out, and they coude not. ¹⁹ He answered him, and sayde: O thou vnfaithfull generacion, how longe shal I be with you? How longe shal I suffre you? Brynge hi hither to me. 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. ²¹ And he axed his father: How longe is it, sens this happened vnto him? He sayde: Of a childe, 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. ²⁴ And immediatly the father of the childe cried with teares, and sayde: LORDE I beleue: O helpe thou myne vnbeleue. 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.

³⁸ Ihon answered him, and sayde: Master, we sawe one dryue out deuels in thy name, but he foloweth not vs, and we forbad him because he foloweth vs not. ³⁹ But Iesus sayde: Forbyd him not: for there is no ma that doth a myracle in my name, and can soone speake euell of me. ⁴⁰ For who so euer is not agaynst vs, the same is for vs.

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.

¹⁰ blessed be the kyngdome of oure father Dauid, which commeth in the name of the LORDE. Hosyanna in the height.

¹⁰ Haue ye not red this scripture: The same stone which the buylders refused, is become the headstone in the corner?

²⁶ As touchinge the deed, that they shal ryse agayne, haue ye not red in the boke of Moses, how God spake vnto him in the bush, and sayde: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, & the God of Iacob?

⁹ But Iesus, whan he was rysen vp early vpo the first daye of the Sabbathes, he appeared first vnto Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast out seuen deuels.

¹⁷ As for the tokens, which shal folowe the that beleue, these are they: In my name shal they cast out deuyls: Speake with new tunges:

³² he shalbe greate, & shalbe called ye sonne of the Hyest. And the LORDE God shal geue him ye seate of Dauid his father, ³³ & he shal be kinge ouer ye house of Iacob for euer & there shalbe no ende of his kyngdome.

⁴³ And how happeneth this to me, that ye mother of my LORDE commeth vnto me?

³¹ who thou hast prepared before all people. ³² A light for the lightenynge of the Heythe, & for the prayse of yi people of Israel. ³³ And his father and mother marueyled at the thinges that were spoke of him.

⁴⁸ And whan they sawe him, they were astonnyed. And his mother sayde vnto him: My sonne, why hast thou done this vnto vs? Beholde, thy father and I haue sought the sorowynge. 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?

⁵¹ And he wente downe with the, and came to Nazareth, and was obediet vnto them. And his mother kepte all these wordes in hir hert. ⁵² And Iesus increased in wyssdome, age and fauoure with God and men.

⁷ Then sayde he vnto the people, yt wente out to be baptysed of him: Ye generacion of vipers, who hath certified you, that ye shal escape ye wrath to come?

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.

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.

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:

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.

¹ And it fortuned vpon an after pryncipall Sabbath, that he wente thorow the corne felde, & his disciples plucked the eares of corne, and ate, and rubbed the with their hades. ² But certayne of the Pharises sayde vnto them: Wherfore do ye that, which is not laufull to do vpon the Sabbath? ³ And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto the: Haue ye not red what Dauid dyd, wha he was hongrie, and they that were with him,

³ And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto the: Haue ye not red what Dauid dyd, wha he was hongrie, and they that were with him, ⁴ how he wente in to the house of God, and toke the shewbred, and ate, and gaue also vnto them that were with him, which was laufull for no man to eate, but for the prestes onely? ⁵ And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath.

⁵ And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is LORDE euen ouer the Sabbath. ⁶ It came to passe vpo another Sabbath, that he wete in to the synagoge, and taught and there was a man, whose right hande was wythred.

⁶ It came to passe vpo another Sabbath, that he wete in to the synagoge, and taught and there was a man, whose right hande was wythred. ⁷ But ye scrybes and Pharises marked him, whether he wolde heale vpon the Sabbath, that they might fynde an occasion agaynst him.

⁷ But ye scrybes and Pharises marked him, whether he wolde heale vpon the Sabbath, that they might fynde an occasion agaynst him. ⁸ Neuertheles he perceaued their thoughtes, and sayde vnto the ma with the wythred hande: Aryse, and steppe forth here. And he arose, and stepped forth. ⁹ Then sayde Iesus vnto the: I wil axe you a question: What is it laufull to do vpo the Sabbath? good, or euell? to saue life, or to destroye it?

⁹ Then sayde Iesus vnto the: I wil axe you a question: What is it laufull to do vpo the Sabbath? good, or euell? to saue life, or to destroye it? ¹⁰ And he behelde the all rounde aboute, and sayde vnto the ma: Stretch out thine hande.

¹¹ But they were fylled full of madnes, and commoned together, what they wolde do to him. 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.

¹⁷ And he wente downe with them, and stode vpon a playne in the felde, and the company of his disciples, and a greate multitude of people, from all Iewry, and Ierusale, and from Tyre and Sydon by the see coast, which were come to heare him, and to be healed of their diseases, ¹⁸ and they that were vexed with foule spretes, were healed. ¹⁹ And all the people sought to touch him, for there wente vertue fro him, and healed the all.

⁴³ For it is no good tre, yt bryngeth forth euell frute: and no euell tre yt bringeth forth good frute. ⁴⁴ Euery tre is knowne by his frute. For me gather not fygges of thornes, ner grapes of busshes. ⁴⁵ A good ma out of ye good treasure of his hert, bryngeth forth yt which is good: and an euell ma out of the euell treasure of his hert, bryngeth forth that which is euell. For of the abundaunce of the hert, the mouth speaketh.

³⁴ The sonne of man is come, eateth and drynketh, & ye saye: This man is a glutton and a wyne bebber, a frende of publicans and synners.

¹⁰ And he sayde: Vnto you it is geue, to knowe the mysteryes of the kyngdome of God, but vnto the other in parables, yt though they se it, they shulde not se it, and though they heare it, they shulde not vnderstonde.

¹⁹ There wente vnto him his mother and his brethren, and coude not come at him for the people. ²⁰ And it was tolde him. Thy mother and thy brethren stonde without, and wolde se the. ²¹ But he answered, & sayde vnto the: My mother and my brethren are these, which heare the worde of God, and do it.

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. ²⁹ For he comaunded the foule sprete, that he shulde departe out of the ma, for he had plaged hi a loge season. And he was bounde with cheynes, and kepte wt fetters, and he brake the bondes in sonder, and was caried of the deuell in to the wyldernesse. ³⁰ And Iesus axed him, and sayde: What is thy name? He sayde: Legion. For there were many deuels entred in to him. ³¹ And they besought him, that he wolde not comaunde the to go in to the depe. ³² But there was there a greate heerd of swyne fedynge vpon the mountayne, and they besought him, that he wolde geue them leue, to entre in to ye same. And he gaue the leue.

² And he sent the out to preach the kyngdome of God, and to heale ye sicke,

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

⁴⁹ Then answered Iho, and sayde: Master, we sawe one dryue out deuels in thy name, and we forbad him, for he folowed the not with vs. ⁵⁰ And Iesus saide vnto him: For byd him not, for he that is not agaynst vs, is for vs.

⁵⁰ And Iesus saide vnto him: For byd him not, for he that is not agaynst vs, is for vs.

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.

²⁶ He sayde vnto him: What is wrytten in the lawe? How readest thou?

¹⁴ And he droue out a deuell that was domme: and it came to passe whan the deuell was departed out, the domme spake, and the people wondred. ¹⁵ But some of them sayde: He dryueth out the deuels, thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuels.

¹⁵ But some of them sayde: He dryueth out the deuels, thorow Beelzebub the chefe of the deuels. ¹⁶ The other tempted him, and desyred a token of him from heauen. ¹⁷ But he knewe their thoughtes, and sayde vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded within it self, shal be desolate, and one house shal fall vpo another. ¹⁸ Yf Sathan then be at variaunce within himself, how shal his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye, that I dryue out deuels thorow Beelzebub. ¹⁹ And yf I dryue out deuels thorow Beelzebul, by whom the do youre children dryue them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges.

¹⁹ And yf I dryue out deuels thorow Beelzebul, by whom the do youre children dryue them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges. ²⁰ But yf I cast out the deuels by the fynger of God, then is the kyngdome of God come vnto you.

²⁰ But yf I cast out the deuels by the fynger of God, then is the kyngdome of God come vnto you. ²¹ Whan a stronge harnessed man kepeth his house, that he possesseth is in peace: 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. ²³ He that is not with me, is agaynst me: and he that gathereth not with me, scatereth abrode. ²⁴ Whan the vncleane sprete is gone out of a man, he walketh thorow drye places, sekynge rest, and fyndeth none. Then sayeth he: I wil turne agayne in to my house, from whence I wente out. ²⁵ And whan he commeth, he fyndeth it swepte, and garnished. ²⁶ Then goeth he, and taketh vnto him seuen other spretes, worse the himself. And whan they are entred in, they dwell there. And the ende of that man is worse then the begynnynge.

²⁶ Then goeth he, and taketh vnto him seuen other spretes, worse the himself. And whan they are entred in, they dwell there. And the ende of that man is worse then the begynnynge. ²⁷ And it fortuned whan he spake soch, a certayne woman amonge the people lift vp hir voyce, and sayde vnto him: Blessed is ye wombe that bare the, and the pappes that thou hast sucked. ²⁸ But he sayde: Yee blessed are they that heare the worde of God, and kepe it. ²⁹ Whan the people were gathered thicke together, he beganne to saye: This is an euell generacion, they desyre a toke, and there shal no token be geuen them, but the toke of the prophet Ionas.

²⁹ Whan the people were gathered thicke together, he beganne to saye: This is an euell generacion, they desyre a toke, and there shal no token be geuen them, but the toke of the prophet Ionas. ³⁰ For like as Ionas was a toke vnto the Niniuytes, so shal the sonne of man be vnto this generacion. ³¹ The quene of the south shal aryse at the iudgmet with the men of this generacion, and shall condempne them: for she came from the ende of the worlde, to heare the wyssdome of Salomon. And beholde, here is one more then Salomon. ³² The men of Niniue shal aryse at the iudgment with this generacion, and shall condempne them: for they dyd pennaunce after the preachinge of Ionas: and beholde, here is one more the Ionas.

³² The men of Niniue shal aryse at the iudgment with this generacion, and shall condempne them: for they dyd pennaunce after the preachinge of Ionas: and beholde, here is one more the Ionas.

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?

⁴⁹ Therfore sayde the wyssdome of God: I wil sende prophetes and Apostles vnto the: and some of them shal they put to death and persecute, ⁵⁰ hat the bloude of all the prophetes which hath bene shed sens the foundacion of the worlde was layed, maye be requyred of this generacion: ⁵¹ from the bloude of Abell, vnto ye bloude of Zachary, which perished betwene the altare and ye temple. Yee I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this generacion.

⁵⁴ and layed wayte for him, and sought to hunte out some thinge out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

¹⁰ And who so euer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen him: But who so blasphemeth the holy goost, it shal not be forgeuen him.

²⁴ Consydre the rauens, they nether sowe ner reape, they haue also nether stoare house ner barne, and yet God fedeth them. But how moch better are ye then the foules?

¹⁰ And he taught in a synagoge vpon the Sabbath: ¹¹ and beholde, there was a woma, which had a sprete of infirmyte eightene yeares, and was croked, and coulde not well loke vp. ¹² Whan Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and sayde vnto her: Woman, be delyuered from thy disease. ¹³ And he layed his handes vpo her, and immediatly she was made straight, and praysed God.

¹³ And he layed his handes vpo her, and immediatly she was made straight, and praysed God. ¹⁴ Then answered the ruler of the synagoge, and toke indignacion (because Iesus healed vpo ye Sabbath) and sayde vnto the people: There are sixe dayes, wherin men ought to worke, in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath.

¹⁴ Then answered the ruler of the synagoge, and toke indignacion (because Iesus healed vpo ye Sabbath) and sayde vnto the people: There are sixe dayes, wherin men ought to worke, in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath. ¹⁵ Then the LORDE answered him, and sayde: Thou ypocryte, doth not euery one of you lowse his oxe or asse fro the crybbe vpo Sabbath, and leade him to the water? ¹⁶ But shulde not this (which is Abrahams doughter) whom Sathan hath bounde now eightene yeares, be lowsed from this bonde vpo the Sabbath? ¹⁷ And whan he thus sayde, all his aduersaries were ashamed. And all the people reioysed ouer all the excellent dedes, that were done by him.

³ And Iesus answered, & spake vnto the scrybes and Pharises, & sayde: Is it laufull to heale on the Sabbath?

³ And Iesus answered, & spake vnto the scrybes and Pharises, & sayde: Is it laufull to heale on the Sabbath? ⁴ But they helde their tonge. And he toke him, and healed him, & let him go, ⁵ and answered, and sayde vnto the: Which of you shal haue an oxe or an asse fallen in to a pytte, and wil not straight waye pull him out on the Sabbath daye?

⁵ and answered, and sayde vnto the: Which of you shal haue an oxe or an asse fallen in to a pytte, and wil not straight waye pull him out on the Sabbath daye? ⁶ And they coude not answere him agayne to that.

¹⁶ The lawe and ye prophetes prophecied vnto Ihon, and from that tyme forth is ye kyngdome of God preached thorow ye Gospell, and euery man preasseth in to it by violence.

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: ²⁴ and he cried, and sayde: Father Abraham, haue mercy vpon me, and sende Lazarus, that he maye dyppe the typpe of his fynger in water, & coole my tonge, for I am tormeted in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraha saide: Remebre sonne, yt thou hast receaued good in yi life, & contrary wyse Lazarus receaued euell. But now is he comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And beside all this, there is a greate space set betwene vs and you: so yt they which wolde go downe from hence vnto you, cannot: nether maye they passe ouer from thence vnto vs.

²⁰ But whan he was demaunded of ye Pharises: Whan cometh the kyngdome of God? He answered them, and sayde: The kyngdome of God commeth not with outwarde appearaunce,

²⁰ But whan he was demaunded of ye Pharises: Whan cometh the kyngdome of God? He answered them, and sayde: The kyngdome of God commeth not with outwarde appearaunce, ²¹ nether shal it be sayde: lo, here or there is it. For beholde, ye kyngdome of God is inwarde in you.

²² He sayde vnto him: Of thine awne mouth iudge I the thou euell seruaunt. Knewest thou thou that I am an harde man, takynge vp that I layde not downe, and reapynge that I dyd not sowe?

⁴¹ And whan he was come neare, he behelde the cite, and wepte vpo it, ⁴² and sayde: Yf thou knewest what were for yi peace, thou shuldest remebre it euen in this present daye of thine. But now is it hyd from thine eyes. ⁴³ For the tyme shal come vpon the, that thine enimies shal cast vp a bake aboute the, and aboute thy children with the, and besege ye, and kepe the in on euery syde, ⁴⁴ and make the eauen with the grounde, and shal not leaue in the one stone vpon another, because thou hast not knowne ye tyme, wherin thou hast bene visited.

²² Is it laufull, that we geue tribute vnto the Emperoure, or not?

³⁴ And Iesus answered and saide vnto them: The childre of this worlde mary, & are maried, ³⁵ but they yt shalbe worthy to enioye that worlde and the resurreccion from the deed, shal nether mary ner be maried,

²² For these are the dayes of vengeaunce, that euery thinge which is wrytten,maye be fulfilled.

² and begane to accuse him, and sayde: We haue founde this felowe peruertinge the people, and forbyddinge to geue trybute vnto the Emperoure, and sayeth, that he is Christ a kynge.

¹⁴ and sayde vnto the: Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerteth the people, and beholde, I haue examyned him before you, & fynde in the ma none of the causes, wherof ye accuse him:

³⁴ But Iesus sayde: Father, forgeue them, for they wote not what they do. And they parted his garmentes, and cast lottes therfore. ³⁵ And the people stode and behelde. And the rulers mocked him with them, and sayde: He hath helped other, let him helpe him self now, yf he be Christ ye chosen of God.

⁵⁶ But they returned, and made ready the spyces & anontmetes. And vpon the Sabbath they rested, acordinge to the lawe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹ And vpon the thirde daye there was a mariage at Cana in Galile, and the mother of Iesus was there.

³ And whan the wyne fayled, the mother of Iesus saide vnto him: They haue no wyne. ⁴ Iesus sayde vnto her: Woma, what haue I to do wt the? Myne houre is not yet come. ⁵ His mother sayde vnto ye mynisters: Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, do it.

¹² Afterwarde wente he downe to Capernaum, he, his mother, his brethre, and his disciples, and taried not longe there.

¹⁸ Then answered the Iewes, and sayde vnto him: What token shewest thou vnto vs, that thou mayest do these thinges? ¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto the: Breake downe this temple, and in thre dayes wil I set it vp agayne.

¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto the: Breake downe this temple, and in thre dayes wil I set it vp agayne. ²⁰ Then sayde the Iewes: Sixe and fourtye yeare was this temple abuyldinge, and wilt thou set it vp in thre dayes? ²¹ But he spake of ye teple of his body.

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.

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,

³⁴ For he who God hath sent, speaketh ye wordes of God: for God geueth not the sprete (vnto him) by measure.

¹² Art thou greater then oure father Iacob, which gaue vs this well? And he himself dranke therof, and his children, and his catell.

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

⁴⁸ And Iesus sayde vnto him: Excepte ye se tokens and wonders, ye beleue not.

³ wherin laye many sicke, blynde, lame, wythred, which wayted, whan the water shulde moue.

⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp his bed and wente his waye. But vpon the same daye it was the Sabbath. 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.

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. ¹¹ He answered them: He that made me whole, sayde vnto me: Take vp thy bed, and go yi waye.

¹⁶ Therfore dyd ye Iewes persecute Iesus, and sought to slaye him, because he had done this vpo ye Sabbath. 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.

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. 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.

²⁹ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto the: This is the worke of God, that ye beleue on him, whom he hath sent. ³⁰ Then sayde they vnto him: What token doest thou the, that we maye se and beleue ye? What workest thou?

⁴⁰ This is the wyl of him which hath sent me, that, who soeuer seyth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlastinge life, and I shal rayse him vp at the last daye.

¹ After that wente Iesus aboute in Galile, for he wolde not go aboute in Iewry, because the Iewes sought to kyll him.

³ Then sayde his brethren vnto him: Get the hece, and go into Iewry, that thy disciples also maye se thy workes, that thou doest.

⁵ For his awne brethren also beleued not in him.

¹⁰ But as soone as his brethren were gone vp, then wente he vp also vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were secretly.

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.

²¹ Iesus answered and sayde: One worke haue I done, and ye all maruayle. ²² Moses gaue you the circumcision, (not because it commeth of Moses, but of ye fathers:) Yet do ye circumcyse a man vpon the Sabbath.

²² Moses gaue you the circumcision, (not because it commeth of Moses, but of ye fathers:) Yet do ye circumcyse a man vpon the Sabbath. ²³ Yf a man receaue circucision vpon the Sabbath, that the lawe of Moses shulde not be broken, dissdayne ye then at me, because I haue made a ma euery whyt whole on the Sabbath?

²³ Yf a man receaue circucision vpon the Sabbath, that the lawe of Moses shulde not be broken, dissdayne ye then at me, because I haue made a ma euery whyt whole on the Sabbath? ²⁴ Iudge not after the vtter appearauce, but iudge righteous iudgment.

³⁹ (But this spake he of the sprete, which they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.) 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?

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

⁶ This they sayde, to tempte him, that they might haue wherof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and wrote with his fynger vpo the grounde.

⁴⁴ Ye are of the father the deuell, and after the lustes of youre father wyl ye do. The same was a murthurer from the begynnynge, and abode not in the trueth: for the trueth is not in him. Whan he speaketh a lye, then speaketh he of his awne: for he is a lyar, and a father of the same.

⁵³ Art thou greater then oure father Abraham? which is deed, and the prophetes are deed? Who makest thou thy self? ⁵⁴ Iesus answered: Yf I prayse myself, then is my prayse nothinge. But it is my father that prayseth me, which ye saye is youre God, ⁵⁵ and ye knowe hi not: but I knowe him. And yf I shulde saye, I knowe him not, I shulde be a lyar, like vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his worde. ⁵⁶ Abraham youre father was glad, that he shulde se my daye, And he sawe it, and reioysed. ⁵⁷ Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: Thou art not yet fiftie yeare olde, and hast thou sene Abraham? ⁵⁸ Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Or euer Abraham was, I am.

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

¹⁴ It was the Sabbath, whan Iesus made the claye, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then agayne the Pharises also axed him, how he had receaued his sight. He sayde vnto the: He put claye vpon myne eyes, and I wasshed me, & now I se. ¹⁶ Then sayde some of the pharises: This man is not of God, seynge he kepeth not ye Sabbath. But the other sayde: How can a synfull man do soch tokens? And there was a stryfe amonge the.

¹⁶ Then sayde some of the pharises: This man is not of God, seynge he kepeth not ye Sabbath. But the other sayde: How can a synfull man do soch tokens? And there was a stryfe amonge the.

³⁵ Yf he call them Goddes, vnto whom the worde of God came (& the scripture can not be broke)

³⁹ They wente aboute agayne to take him, but he escaped out of their hades, ⁴⁰ and wete awaye agayne beyode Iordane, into ye place where Iho had baptysed before, & there he abode. ⁴¹ And many came to hi, and sayde: Iho dyd no tokes, but all yt Ihon spake of this man, is true. ⁴² And many beleued on him there.

⁵² and not for the people onely, but that he shulde gather together the children of God, which were scatered abrode: ⁵³ From that daye forth they toke coucell, how they might put him to death. ⁵⁴ Iesus walked nomore openly amonge the Iewes, but wente from thence in to a countre by the wyldernesse, to a cite called Ephraim, & there had he his beynge with his disciples.

⁵⁷ The hye prestes & pharises had geuen a commaundement, that yf eny man knewe where he were, he shulde shewe it, that they might take him.

⁶ (This sayde he not that he cared for the poore, but because he was a thefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geue.)

³¹ Now goeth the iudgment ouer the worlde. Now shal the prynce of this worlde be thrust out.

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?

² And after supper, whan the deuell had allready put into ye hert of Iudas Iscarioth Symons sonne, to betraye him,

²⁷ And after ye soppe the deuell entred in to him. Then sayde Iesus vnto him: That thou doest, do quyckly.

³⁰ Here after wyl not I talke moch with you. For the prynce of this worlde cometh, and hath nothinge in me.

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. ⁶ He that abydeth not in me, is cast out as a vyne braunche, and it wythereth, and men gather it vp, and cast it in to the fyre, and it burneth. ⁷ Yf ye abyde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, ye shal axe what ye wyl, & it shal be done vnto you.

¹⁴ Ye are my frendes, yf ye do that I commaunde you.

²² Yf I had not come & spoke vnto the, the shulde they haue no synne But now haue they nothinge to cloake their synne withall. ²³ He yt hateth me, hateth my father also. ²⁴ Yf I had not done amoge the the workes which no other ma dyd, they shulde haue no synne. But now haue they sene it, and yet haue they hated both me & my father.

¹¹ Of iudgmet, because the prynce of this worlde is iudged allready.

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. ⁹ I praye for them, and praye not for the worlde, but for them whom thou hast geuen me, for they are thine.

²⁰ Neuertheles I praye not for them onely, but also for those, which thorow their worde shal beleue on me,

³⁶ Iesus answered: My kyugdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde, my mynisters wolde fight therfore, yt I shulde not be delyuered vnto the Iewes. But now is my kyngdome not from hence. 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. ³⁸ Pilate sayde vnto hi: What is the trueth? And whan he had sayde that he wete out agayne to the Iewes, and sayde vnto them: I fynde no gyltinesse in him:

²⁵ There stode by the crosse of Iesus, his mother, and his mothers sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Now whan Iesus sawe his mother, and the disciple stondynge by, who he loued, he sayde vnto his mother: Woman, beholde, that is thy sonne. ²⁷ Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde, that is thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her vnto him. ²⁸ After that whan Iesus knewe that all was perfourmed, that the scripture might be fulfylled, he sayde: I am a thyrst.

¹⁷ Iesus sayde vnto her: Touche me not, for I am not yet ascended vnto my father. But go thou yi waye vnto my brethre & saye vnto the: I ascede vp vnto my father and yor father: to my God, & yor God.

¹⁷ Iesus sayde vnto her: Touche me not, for I am not yet ascended vnto my father. But go thou yi waye vnto my brethre & saye vnto the: I ascede vp vnto my father and yor father: to my God, & yor God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came, & tolde ye disciples: I haue sene the LORDE, & soch thinges hath he spoken vnto me. ¹⁹ The same Sabbath at eue wha ye disciples were gathered together, and the dores were shut for feare of ye Iewes, came Iesus, and stode i ye myddes, & sayde vnto the: Peace be wt you. ²⁰ And wha he had so sayde, he shewed the his hades & his syde. The were ye disciples glad, yt they sawe ye LORDE.

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.

¹⁴ These all contynued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion, with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren.

⁷ And he toke him by the righte hande and lifte him vp. Immediatly his legges & ancle bones were made stroge, ⁸ and he sprange, stode and walked, and entred with them in to the teple, walkynge, and leapinge and praysinge God.

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.

¹⁹ Do penaunce now therfore and turne you, that youre synnes maye be done awaye, whan the tyme of refreshinge shal come before the presence of the LORDE,

²² For Moses sayde vnto ye fathers: A prophet shal the LORDE youre God rayse vp vnto you, euen from amoge youre brethren, like vnto me: him shal ye heare, in all that he shal saye vnto you. ²³ And it shal come to passe, what soule soeuer shal not heare the same prophet, shal be destroyed from amonge the people.

¹ But a certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wife, solde his possession, ² and kepte awaye parte of the money (his wife knowinge of it) and broughte one parte, & layed it at the Apostles fete. ³ But Peter sayde: Ananias, Wherfore hath Sathan fylled thine hert, that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost, and withdrawe awaye parte of the money of the lyuelod?

⁵¹ Ye styffnecked & of vncircumcysed hertes and eares, ye allwaye resiste the holy goost: Eue as yor fathers dyd, so do ye also.

¹³ Then Symon himself beleued also, and was baptysed, and cleued vnto Philippe. And wha he sawe the dedes and tokens that were done, he wondred.

¹⁸ But whan Simon sawe, that by the layenge on of the Apostles hades ye holy goost was geuen, he offred the money, ¹⁹ and sayde: Geue me also this power, that, on whomsoeuer I put the hodes, he maye receaue the holy goost. ²⁰ Howbeit Peter sayde vnto him: Perishe thou with thy money, because thou thinkest that ye gifte of God maye be optayned with money. ²¹ Thou shalt haue nether parte ner felashipe in this worde, for yi hert is not righte before God. ²² Repente therfore of this yi wickednesse, and praye vnto God, yf happly the thought of thy hert maye be forgeue ye. ²³ For I se, yt thou art full of bytter gall, and wrapped in wt vnrighteousnesse.

²⁷ And he rose, and wente on. And beholde, a ma of the Morians lode (a chamberlayne and of auctorite with Candace ye quene of the londe of the Morians) which had the rule of all hir treasuries, ye same came to Ierusale to worshipe. ²⁸ And returned home agayne, and satt vpon his charet, and red the prophet Esay.

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.

¹⁸ Whan they herde this, they helde their peace, and praysed God, and sayde: Then hath God also to the Heithen graunted repentaunce vnto life.

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.

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.

²⁷ Whan they came there, they gathered the congregacion together, & shewed them, how greate thinges God had done with the, and how he had opened the dore of faithe vnto the Heithen.

³⁰ and broughte them out, and sayde: Syrs, what must I do, to be saued? ³¹ They sayde: Beleue on the LORDE Iesus, and so shalt thou and thy housholde be saued.

³⁰ And truly God hath ouersene the tyme of ignoraunce: But now he commaundeth all men euery where to repente,

¹³ But certayne of the vagabounde Iewes which were coniurers, vndertoke to name ye name of the LORDE Iesus, ouer those that had euell spretes, and sayde: We charge you by Iesus whom Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ They were seuen sonnes of one Sceua a Iewe the hye prest, which dyd so. ¹⁵ The euell sprete answered, and sayde: Iesus I knowe, and Paul I knowe, but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the ma in who the euell sprete was, ranne vpon them, and ouercame them, and cast them vnder him, so that they fled out of the same house naked and wounded.

⁹ I also verely thoughte by my selfe, that I oughte to do many cotrary thinges cleane agaynst the name off Iesus off Nazareth, ¹⁰ which I dyd at Ierusalem, whan I shut vp many sayntes in preson, whervpon I receaued auctorite of ye hye prestes. And wha they shulde be put to death, I broughte the sentence. ¹¹ And thorow all the synagoges I punyshed them oft, and compelled the to blaspheme, and was exceadinge mad vpon them, and persecuted them euen vnto straunge cities.

¹⁷ And I wil delyuer the from the people, and from the Heythen, amonge who I wil now sende the, ¹⁸ to ope their eyes, that they maye turne from the darknesse vnto the lighte, and from the power of ye deuell vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenesse of synnes, and the enheritaunce with them that are sanctified by faith in me.

¹⁸ to ope their eyes, that they maye turne from the darknesse vnto the lighte, and from the power of ye deuell vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenesse of synnes, and the enheritaunce with them that are sanctified by faith in me.

²⁰ but shewed it first vnto them at Damascon, and at Ierusale, and in all the coastes of Iewry, and to the Heythen, that they shulde do pennaunce, and turne vnto God, and to do the righte workes of pennaunce.

¹⁶ in the daye whan God shal iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, acordinge to my Gospell.

²⁷ And so it that of nature is vncircumcision, and fulfilleth the lawe shal iudge the, which vnder the letter and circumcision trasgressest the lawe.

¹⁰ As it is wrytte: There is none righteous, no not one. ¹¹ There is none yt vnderstondeth, there is none that seketh after God. ¹² They are all gone out of the waye, they are alltogether become vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. ¹³ Their throte is an open sepulcre, with their tunges they haue disceaued, the poyson off Aspes is vnder their lippes. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursynge and bytternesse.

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,

²⁹ For those whom he knewe before, hath he ordeyned also before, yt they shulde be like fashioned vnto ye shappe of his sonne, yt he mighte be the first begotte amoge many brethre.

⁸ As it is wrytten: God hath geuen them the sprete of vnquyetnesse, eyes that they shulde not se, and eares that they shulde not heare, eue vnto this daye. ⁹ And Dauid sayeth: Let their table be made a snare to take the withall, & an occasion to fall, & a rewarde vnto the. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be blynded that they se not, and euer bowe downe their backes.

¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke, but righteousnes, & peace, and ioye in the holy goost.

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.

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. ¹³ The God off hope fyll you wt all ioye and peace in beleuynge, yt ye maye be plenteous in hope thorow ye power of the holy goost.

¹⁷ Therfore maye I boost myselfe thorow Iesu Christ, that I medle with thinges perteyninge vnto God. ¹⁸ For I durst not speake ought, excepte Christ had wroughte the same by me, to make the Heythen obediet thorow worde and dede, ¹⁹ thorow the power of tokens and wonders, and thorow the power of the sprete of God, so that from Ierusale, and roude aboute vnto Illyricon, I haue fylled all with the Gospell of Christ.

²² For the Iewes requyre tokens, and the Grekes axe after wyssdome.

¹¹ For what ma knoweth what is in man, saue the sprete of ma which is in him? Euen so no man knoweth what is in God, saue ye sprete of God.

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?

²¹ Vnto them that are without lawe, I am become as though I were without lawe (where as yet I am not without the lawe of God, but am in ye lawe of Christ) to wynne the that are without lawe.

¹⁹ For there must be sectes amonge you, that they which are perfecte amonge you, mighte be knowne.

² Vpon some Sabbath daye let euery one of you put aside by him selfe, and laye vp what so euer he thinketh mete, that the colleccion be not to gather whan I come.

⁷ so that from hence forth ye oughte the more to forgeue him and to comforte him, lest he be swalowed vp in ouer moch heuynesse.

¹⁴ Yet thankes be vnto God, which all waye geueth vs the victory in Christ, and openeth ye fauoure of his knowlege by vs in euery place.

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.

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.

¹⁵ How agreeth Christ with Belial? Or what parte hath the beleuer with the infydele? ¹⁶ How acordeth ye teple of God with ymages? Ye are the temple of the lyuynge God, as sayeth God: I wyl dwell in them, and walke in them, and wyl be their God, & they shalbe my people.

¹ I Paul my selfe beseke you by the mekenesse and softnesse off Christ, which when I am present amonge you, am of small reputacion, but am bolde towarde you beynge absent.

³ for though we walke in the flesh, yet fighte we not after a fleshly maner. ⁴ For the wapens of oure warre are not fleshly, but mightie before God to cast downe stroge holdes, ⁵ wherwith we ouerthrowe ymaginacions, & euery hye thinge yt exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowlege of God, and brynge in to captiuyte all vnderstondinge to the obedience of Christ,

² For I am gelous ouer you wt godly gelousy. For I haue maried you vnto one ma, to brynge a chaste virgin vnto Christ.

¹⁹ As for the other Apostles, I sawe none of them, saue Iames the LORDES brother.

⁶ For in Christ Iesu nether is circumcision eny thinge worth ner vncircumcision, but faith which by loue is mightie in operacion.

¹⁵ But yf ye byte and deuoure one another, take hede, that ye be not consumed one of another.

⁹ Let vs not be weery of well doynge: for wha the tyme is come, we shal reape without ceassinge.

¹⁵ For in Christ Iesu nether circucision avayleth eny thinge, ner vncircumcision, but a new creature.

⁶ vnto the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherby he hath made vs accepted in the Beloued,

¹² that we mighte be to the prayse of his glory, euen we that before beleued on Christ, ¹³ on who also ye beleued, after that ye herde the worde of trueth, namely ye Gospell of youre saluacion: wherin whan ye beleued, ye were sealed with the holy sprete of promes,

²¹ aboue all rule, power, and mighte, and dominacio, and aboue all that maye be named, not onely in this worlde, but also in ye worlde to come.

² in the which in tyme past ye walked, acordinge to the course off this worlde, and after the prynce that ruleth in the ayre namely, after ye sprete, which now worketh in the children of vnbeleue,

¹¹ Wherfore remebre, that ye (which afore tyme were Gentyles after the flesh, and were called vn circumcision, of the that are called circumcision after the flesh, which circumcision is made with the hande) ¹² that ye at the same tyme were without Christ, and reputed aleauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and were straungers from the Testamentes of promes, therfore had ye no hope, and were without God in this worlde. ¹³ But now ye that be in Christ Iesu, and afore tyme were farre of, are now made nye by the bloude of Christ.

²⁰ buylded vpon ye foundacion of ye Apostles and prophetes where Iesus Christ is ye heade corner stone ²¹ in whom euery buyldinge coupled together, groweth to an holy temple in the LODRE, ²² in whom ye also are buylded together, to be an habitacion of God in the sprete.

⁵ which (mystery) in tymes past was not opened vnto the childre of me as it is now declared to his holy Apostles and prophetes by the sprete: namely, ⁶ that the Heythen shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promes in Christ by the Gospell, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynister acordynge to the gifte of the grace of God, which is geue me acordinge to the workynge of his power. ⁸ Vnto me the leest of all sayntes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge the Heythe ye vnsearcheable riches 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.

²⁵ Ye hussbandes loue youre wyues, euen as Christ loued the congregacion, and gaue himselfe for it, ²⁶ to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water by the worde, ²⁷ to make it vnto himselfe a glorious congregacion, hauynge no spot ner wrynkle, ner eny soch thinge, but that it shulde be holy and without blame.

⁴ And ye fathers, prouoke not youre children vnto wrath, but brynge the vp in the nourtoure and informacion of the LORDE. ⁵ Ye seruauntes, obey youre bodely masters, with feare and tremblynge, in synglenes of youre hert, euen as vnto Christ, ⁶ not with seruyce onely in the eye sighte, as men pleasers: but as the seruauntes off Christ, doynge the wyll off God from the hert

¹² For we wrestle not agaynst flesh and bloude, but agaynst rule, agaynst power namely, agaynst the rulers of the worlde, of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst ye spretes of wickednes vnder the heauen.

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,

¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesu Christ by the will of God, and brother Timotheus.

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

²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowne the glorious riches of this mistery amoge ye Heythen: which (riches) is Christ in you, eue he that is the hope of glory,

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

¹¹ where there is no Greke, Iewe, circumcision, vncircumcision, Barbarous, Sithian, bode, fre: but Christ is all and in all.

¹⁶ Let ye worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wyssdome. Teach and exhorte youre awne selues with psalmes and ymnes, and spirituall songes which haue fauoure with them, synginge in youre hertes to the LORDE.

⁶ Let youre speach be allwaye fauorable, seasoned with salt, that ye maye knowe how to answere euery man.

¹⁵ Which as they put the LORDE Iesus to death, and their awne prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs also, and please not God, and are cotrary to all men, ¹⁶ forbyddinge vs to speake vnto the Heythen that they mighte be saued, to fulfill their synnes allwaye: for the wrath is come vpon them allready vnto ye vttemost.

⁹ euen him, whose commynge is after the workynge of Sathan with all lyenge power, and signes and wonders, ¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnrighteousnes amonge them that perishe, because they receaued not the loue of ye trueth, that they might haue bene saued. ¹¹ Therfore shal God sende them stroge delusion, that they shulde beleue lyes, ¹² yt all they might be daned, which beleued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes.

¹³ wha before I was a blasphemer, & a persecuter, & a tyraunt: but I optayned mercy, because I dyd it ignorauntly in vnbeleue.

¹³ wha before I was a blasphemer, & a persecuter, & a tyraunt: but I optayned mercy, because I dyd it ignorauntly in vnbeleue. 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.

⁹ For they that wylbe riche, fall in to the teptacion and snare, and in to many folisshe & noysome lustes, which drowne men in destruccion and damnacion. ¹⁰ For Couetousnes is the rote of all euell, which whyle some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled them selues with many sorowes.

²⁴ The seruaunt of the LORDE ought not to stryue, but to be gentle vnto euery man: apte to teach, one that can forbeare 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,

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, ¹² sayenge: I will declare thy name vnto my brethren, and in the myddes of the cogregacion wil I prayse the. ¹³ And agayne: I wyl put my trust in him. And agayne: beholde, here am I and my children, which God hath geuen me. 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.

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.

⁷ By faith Noe honoured God, after yt he was warned of thinges which were not sene, & prepared the Arke, to ye sauinge of his housholde: thorow the which Arke he condemned the worlde, and became heyre of the righteousnes, which commeth by faith.

²¹ Was not Abraham oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpon the aulter? ²² Thou seist how yt faith wrought with his dedes, and through ye dedes was the faith made perfect: ²³ & the scripture was fulfilled which faith: Abraha beleued God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called ye frende of God. ²⁴ Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only ²⁵ Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye?

⁵ Euen so the toge is a lyttell member, and bosteth great thinges. Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth, ⁶ and the tonge is fyre, and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure membres, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth a fyre all that we haue of nature, and is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell. ⁷ All the natures of beastes, and of byrdes, and of serpentes, and thinges of the see, are meked and tamed of the nature of ma. ⁸ But the toge can no man tame. Yt is an vnruely euell full of deedly poysou.

¹⁴ hauynge eyes full of aduoutrye, and ca not ceasse from synne, entysinge vnstable soules: hauynge an hert exercysed wt couetousnes: they are cursed children, ¹⁵ and haue forsaken the righte waye, and are gone astraye: folowinge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnrighteousnes: ¹⁶ but was rebuked of his iniquyte. The tame and domme beast spake with mas voyce, & forbad the foolishnes of ye prophet. ¹⁷ These are welles without water, & cloudes caried aboute of a tepest: to who ye myst of darknesse is reserued foreuer. ¹⁸ For they speake ye proude wordes of vanite, vnto ye vttemost, and entyse thorow wantannes vnto ye luste of the flesh, euen them that were cleane escaped, and now walke in erroure: ¹⁹ and promyse them libertye, where as they them selues are seruauntes off corrupcion. For off whom so euer a man is ouercome, vnto the same is he in bondage. ²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde, thorow the knowlege of ye LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ) are yet tangled agayne therin and ouercome, then is the latter ende worse vnto them then the begynnynge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of righteousnes, then after they haue knowne it, to turne from the holy commaundemet, that was geuen vnto them. ²² It is happened vnto them acordynge vnto the true prouerbe: ye dogg is turned to his vomyte agayne: and ye sowe that was wasshed, vnto hir walowynge in the myre.

⁹ But yf we knowlege oure synnes, he is faithfull and iust to forgeue vs oure synnes, & to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes.

¹ My litle children, these thinges wryte I vnto you, that ye shulde not synne: and yf eny man synne, we haue an aduocate with the father, euen Iesus Christ which is righteous: 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.

¹⁷ And the worlde passeth awaye and the lust therof. But he that fulfylleth the wyll of God, abydeth for euer.

¹⁹ They wente out fro vs, but they were not of vs: for yf they had bene of vs, they wolde no doute haue contynued with vs. But that they maye be knowne, how that they are not all of vs.

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.

¹⁰ By this are the children of God knowne & the children of the deuell. Who so euer doeth not righteousnes, is not of God, nether he thath loueth not his brother.

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. ²⁴ And he that kepeth his commaundementes, dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby knowe we that he abydeth in vs, euen by the sprete which he hath geuen vs.

⁴ Litle children, ye are off God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde.

¹⁶ Yf eny man se his brother synne a synne not vnto death, let him axe, and he shal geue him life, for the yt synne not vnto death. There is a synne vnto death, for the which saye I not that a man shulde praye.

¹⁶ Yf eny man se his brother synne a synne not vnto death, let him axe, and he shal geue him life, for the yt synne not vnto death. There is a synne vnto death, for the which saye I not that a man shulde praye. ¹⁷ All vnrighteousnes is synne, and there is synne not vnto death.

¹⁹ We knowe that we are of God, & the worlde is set alltogether on wickednes.

⁴ For there are certayne craftely crept in, of which it was wrytten afore tyme vnto soche iudgement. They are vngodly, and turne the grace of oure God vnto wantanes, and denye God the onely LORDE, and oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁵ My minde is therfore to put you in remebrauce, for as moche as ye once knowe this, how that ye LORDE (after that he had deliuered the people out of Egipt) destroyed them which afterwarde beleued not.

¹⁰ But these speake euell off those thinges which they knowe not: and what thinges they knowe naturally, as beastes which are without reason, in tho thinges they corrupte them selues. ¹¹ Wo be vnto the, for they haue folowed the waye of Cain, and are vtterly geue to the erroure of Balaam for lukers sake, and perysshe in the treason of Core. ¹² These are spottes which of youre kindnes feast togedder, without feare, fedynge the selues. Cloudes they are withouten water, caried about of wyndes, and trees without frute at gadringe tyme, twyse deed and plucked vp by the rotes. ¹³ They are the ragynge waues of the see, fominge out their awne shame. They are wandrynge starres, to who is reserued the myst of darcknes for euer. ¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam prophecied before of suche, saienge: Beholde, the LORDE shal come with thousandes of sayntes, ¹⁵ to geue iudgemet agaynst all men, and to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge the, of all their vngodly dedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruell speakynges, which vngodly synners haue spoken agaynst him.

¹⁰ I was in the sprete on a sondaye, and herde behynde me, a gret voyce, as it had bene of a trompe,

²³ And I wil kyll her childre with deeth. And all the cogregacios shal knowe, yt I am he which searcheth the reynes and hertes. And I wil geue vnto euery one of you acordynge vnto youre workes.

¹⁵ I knowe thy workes, yt thou art nether colde nor hot: I wolde thou were colde or hote. ¹⁶ So then because thou art bitwene bothe, and nether colde ner hote I wyll spew the out off my mouth:

² And I sawe, and beholde there was a whyte horsse, and he yt sat on him had a bowe, and a crowne was geuen vnto him, and he went forth conquerynge and for to ouercome.

¹¹ And they had a kinge ouer them, which is the angel of the bottomlesse pyt, whose name in the hebrew tonge, is Abadon: but in the greke tonge, Apollion.

⁷ And there was a greate batayll in heaue Michael and his angels foughte with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, ⁸ and preuayled not, nether was their place founde eny more in heauen. ⁹ And the greate dragon that olde serpent (called the deuell and Sathanas) was cast out. Which disceaued all the worlde. And he was cast in to the earth, and his angelles were cast out with him also.

⁹ And the greate dragon that olde serpent (called the deuell and Sathanas) was cast out. Which disceaued all the worlde. And he was cast in to the earth, and his angelles were cast out with him also. ¹⁰ And I harde a lowde voyce, which sayde in heauen: Now is saluacion, and strength and the kyngdome become oure Gods, and ye power his Christes: For he is cast downe, which accused them before God daye and night.

³ and I sawe one of his heades as it were wounded to death, and his dedly wounde was healed. And all the worlde wodred at the beest, ⁴ and they worshipped the dragon which gaue power vnto the beest, and they worshipped the beest, sayenge: who is like vnto the beest? who is able to warre with him?

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. ⁹ Yf eny man haue an eare, let him heare.

¹⁰ And the fifte angell poured out his vyall vpon the seate of the beest, and his kyngdome wexed derke, and they gnewe their tonges for sorowe,

¹⁹ And the greate cite was deuyded in to thre parties. And the cities of nacions fell. And greate Babilon came in remembraunce before God, to geue vnto hyr the cuppe of wyne of the fearcenes of his wrath.

¹⁶ And the ten hornes, which thou sawest vpon the beest, are they that shal hate the whore, and shal make her desolate, and naked, and shall eate hir flesshe, and burne her with fyre. ¹⁷ For God hath put in their hertes, to fulfill his wyll, and to do with one consent, for to geue hir kyngdome vnto the beest, vntill the wordes of God be fulfylled.

¹¹ And I sawe heaue open, & beholde, a whyte horsse and he yt sat vpon him, was called faithfull and true, & in rightewesnes dyd iudge and make battayle. ¹² His eyes were as a flame of fyre, and on his heade were many crounes: & he had a name wrytten, that noman knewe but him selfe. ¹³ And he was clothed with a vesture dipt in bloude, and his name is called, ye worde of God. ¹⁴ And ye warriers which were in heauen, folowed him vpon whyte horsses, clothed with whyte and pure sylke ¹⁵ and out of his mouthe wente a sharppe swerde, that with it he shulde smyte the Heithen: And he shall rule them with a rodde of yron, and he trode the wynefatte of the fearcenesse and wrath of allmightye God. ¹⁶ And hath on his vesture and on his thyghe a name wrytten: Kynge of all kinges, and LORDE of all lordes. ¹⁷ And I sawe an angell stonde in the Sonne, and he cryed with a lowde voyce, sayenge to all the fowles that flye by the myddes vnder the heauen: Come and gaddre youre selues togedder vnto the supper of the gret God, ¹⁸ that ye maye eate the flesshe of kynges, and of hye captaynes, and the flesshe of mighty men, and the flesshe of horsses, and of the that syt on them, and the flesshe of all free men and bond men, both of small and greate. ¹⁹ And I sawe the beeste and the kynges of ye earth, and their warriers gadred togedder, to make battayle agaynste him that sat vpon the horsse, and agaynst his sowdiers. ²⁰ And the beeste was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought myracles before him, with which he disceaued them that receaued the beestes marke, and them that worsshipped his ymage. These both were cast in to a ponde of fyre burnynge wt brymstone: ²¹ and the remnaunte were slayne with the swearde of him that sat vpon the horsse, which swearde proceded out of his mouth, and all the foules were filled with their flesshe.

¹ And I sawe an angell come downe from heauen, hauinge the keye of the bottomlesse pyt, and a gret chayne in his honde. ² And he toke the dragon that olde serpent (which is the deuell and Satanas) and he bounde him a thousand yeares: ³ and cast him in to the bottomlesse pyt, and he bounde him, and set a seale on him, that he shuld disceaue the people nomoare, tyll the thousand yeares were fulfilled. And after that muste he be lowsed for a littell season.

⁷ And when the thousand yeares are expyred, Sathan shalbe lowsed out of his preson, ⁸ and shal go out to deceaue the people which are in the foure quarters of the earth. Gog and Magog, to gadder them togedder to batayle, whose nombre is as the sonde off the see: ⁹ and they went vp on the playne of the earth, and compased the tentes of the sayntes aboute, and the beloued cite. And fyre cam doune from God out of heauen, and deuoured them:

¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is (the boke) of life, and the deed were iudged of tho thinges which were wrytten in the bokes accordinge to their dedes:

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that their power maye be in the tree of life, and maye entre in thorow the gates in to the cite.
